The recitations were absolutely jaw-dropping, and even though the competition was close, Ayona and Malak from Fire and Earth respectively tied in first place, while  Orkojeet Banerjee from Fire won the second place with his recitation of 'The Twins' by Henry Sambroke Leigh.

Along with the exciting elocution competition, the department of English planned a myriad of entertaining activities such as the Literary Quiz competition for form 9 and 10 which was held on the 13^th of September. The winners of the event were Supriya and Tanmay of Earth House. The Book Discussion on Gabriel Marquez’s ‘Chronicle of a Death Foretold’ was held for form 11 and 12. The participants discussed the theme of honour and the world of magical realism. The Scholastic book fair was the culmination of weeklong activities marking the Lit Fest.

Through these various activities, the students gained a larger and broader appreciation for literature and the texts presented from the different parts of the world. Highlighting the international culture present in our very school, we were all proud to see different works of literature being presented in a comprehensive and interactive manners. Overall, the week turned out to be a major success as each student had an opportunity to contribute some thought into the theme.
