fOUndaTIOn dAY






Foundation Day is an important milestone each year, where we show our gratitude for the wisdom, courage and commitment demonstrated by those who contributed to the establishment of the school.

Foundation Day gives us a sense of mission and purpose. Why should we set aside a time in the busy life of a school year to celebrate Foundation Day? We celebrate so that we do not forget the vision of the people who established it, so that we make new again the vision which has inspired the School for the last years. It is a day of remembrance, a day of honoring, a day to celebrate what has been achieved over the past years, and a day to look forward to what is yet to come. This day stands as a reminder to us that when we forget our history, we move into an uncertain future. We celebrate the Day to maintain the school’s principle, so that the teachers, the staff, and the students will be reminded of it.

However, overtime, we lose the real essence of foundation day. It felt like it is celebrated because we have to celebrate it. It was supposed to be enjoyable, stress-free even, but the definition turned into dancing under the scorching hot sun. It was not commemorating the legacy of the school, it became a showdown of forced students to dance in the middle of the field while watching hideous costumes. If it continues to be like this, better not waste a day celebrating meaningless activities.
