The 5th Sara Mathew Memorial lecture was attended by dignitaries like Rev. Valson Thampu Principal, St. Stephen’s College, Bharati Sharma, Principal, Amity International School Saket, ex students, parents, and the staff of Nursery, Junior, Middle and Senior school.

Ms. Shamim Modi started her lecture by explaining the meaning of the word ‘Zindabad’ which means ‘long- live our struggle for justice, equality, and rights for every man.’ She is an old student of our school and passed out 28 years back. She came from a poor family and when she was in class V her mother wanted to put her and her sister in a government school because she could not afford the fees. Mrs. Mathew understood the seriousness of the situation and offered to teach the children free of cost. Shamim and her sister continued their studies in the school, with a scholarship. She expressed her immense gratitude to the school for the same. Imagine what could have happened if no one had extended a helping hand, and let her leave school. One good deed done passes on, to many generations. When young children stand at the crossroads of their life wondering what career to choose, very often they consider only the pay package – nobody expresses their desire to make this world a better place.

Students of class XI bid a formal farewell to the outgoing Class XII-2011. This solemn function was chaired by ‘Siddharth Varadarajan'. The program was an amalgamation of speeches by the outgoing head boy Lalit Bushan and head girl Aanahita Fotedar.
