This was beautifully expressed by the students of Std III & IV for the members of the management and their teachers. The programme began with a welcome speech given by the Vice-captain Leon Kothari . The boys received their certificates for the various competitions held during the academic year. The Head Teacher shared her views on 'Growing  Up' and encouraged the students to enjoy their holidays fruitfully. The hardest part of loving someone is saying goodbye. The teachers and students bid farewell to the boys of Std IV who would in the coming academic year be a part of the Secondary Section. The programme ended with a thank-you note by our Captain Vikrant Pawar.
