Annual Day

Annual Day means a formal or official social gathering organized yearly by the school. It's that one time in the year where most of us feel all is right in the world. Annual Day helps in exposing each student to both Indian and other world cultures. The annual day, apart from building bridges across cultures, also empowers the student community to cut across artificial divides of country and religion and gain a global perspective on world affairs.

Spell-O-Philo-The School spell smartly

Our school organises "Spello 'O' Philo, a fun filled Inter School spelling competition in memory of His Grace Job Mar Philoxenos (Former Metroplititan of Delhi diocese and Vice president of St. Thomas Schools).

Spell 'O' Philo is a modest tribute to His Grace Job Mar Philoxenos and a befitting platform for logophile i.e. WORD LOVERS . The importance of spelling has been questioned in recent years. Since it's an era of Facebook and What's App, where acronyms live, the very idea of spelling seems to be waning away. At such a juncture, we must not forget that learning to spell not only helps to cement the connection between spelling and reading comphrehension but also enables the learners to master basic language, Language competence beyond threshold level is certainly sheer pleasure and indulgence. Spell 'O' Philo is a unique contest for students that checks and also challenges their spelling proficiencies. .

Spell 'O' Philo has a unique format and the process makes the entire contest quite engaging for the participants. The stage One or the Preliminary Round of the contest is a written test which screens all participants in the form of dictation. The winners move on to the semi-final round which is a worksheet based round. Teams which get shortlisted for the finals on the basis of their performance would compete for the coveted trophy and the cash prize.

.Winners get a a rolling trophy,cash prized of Rs. 10000 and mementos.The Second runner gets cash prize of Rs. 5000 and mementos and the third runner gets a cash prize of Rs 3000 and mementos.

Indeed Spell 'O' Bound kindled a magnetic attraction towards language
