In the past couple of weeks, Pathways has been evolving at an exponential rate and as Cultural Secretary, I feel that as a school we’re becoming stronger with each passing day. We saw our first Interhouse Music Competition go amazingly well, followed almost immediately by an equally amazing board-making competition, all thewhile preparing for Sports Day.
Perhaps the toughest challenge the four houses encountered recently though, was the Soapbox oratory competition. The pressure was tremendous on everyone involved, from the participants to the house captains. 
This was because the houses were given their topics just a day before
the event, and were told they had to choose one on their own, also just one day
in advance. This was also the first event I helped organize as cultural
secretary, and, needless to say, given the difficult nature of the event, I was
really nervous as to how my debut would go. But, as has become natural to and
expected of Pathways students, the event went brilliantly. None of the topics
were easy or mundane, and the level of intelligence in every speaker’s argument
was outstanding. At the end, even though one house had to be chosen for first
place, at the risk of sounding clichéd, it was a victory for the whole school
in my opinion; Yet again, we proved that Pathways Noida is, and always will be,
a class above the rest.
