Annual Sports Day


The Annual Sports Day, 2013 of Orchids-The International School was held on February 5, 2013, at the GHMC Stadium of Chandanagar. Mr V.V.S.Laxman, the Padma Shri award recipient was the Chief Guest. The dignitaries present were Chairman, Mr M. Venkatanarayana, Executive Director Mr M.Sc. Srikanth and Secretary Mr K.R.K.Reddy,
The programme started with the ceremonial Guard of Honour and March Past by the four Houses of the school- Carnation, Daffodil, Marigold and Tulip. The Chief Guest hoisted the school flag, declared the Sports Meet open and administered oath to the students. The torch-lighting ceremony inaugurated the Sports and Games of the day.
The Principal of Orchids, Mrs Mona Mehdi submitted the Annual Report and emphasized that the objective is to make all the students of the school participate in all the events. It is enthusiasm which makes participation successful.
The classical dance depicting the birth of Lord Vigneswara enthralled the audience and lent beauty and charm to the major event of the school. The displays of Yoga, Gymnastics and Taekwondo kept the audience spellbound.
Events such as Drill, March Past, track-events which included 100m, 200m, 400m, 4x100m relay for boys and girls of V-X were some of the highlights of the day. The children of classes PP I- II took part in Elephant race, Rabbit race, Cinderella race and Santa Claus race. The students of classes III & IV entertained the audience with Joker race. Flower pick-up race of class V students was a delight to watch with girls in Kashmiri costumes.
‘Fusion’ of classical and western dances ultimately focusing its attention on the trauma and agony females are presently subjected to was spectacular and message-oriented. It culminated in optimism that girls and boys, men and women will enjoy equal rights and privileges in the society which allows everyone to live with dignity.

The school’s new Logo, ‘Indian education, International approach’ was released with balloons and fire-works.
Prizes were given away by the Chief Guest. R. Raja Rithvik, the Asian Chess champ, a student of class IV in Orchids, was honoured on this occasion. Alka Paturi of class X, 2012 was given ‘Meritorious award’ for securing GPA of 10 in X Board Examination. The House Trophy was won by Carnation House for its performance during the year and on the Sports Day.
The Chief Guest addressed the students and gave an inspirational speech. He laid emphasis on the importance of sports and games and on cherishing the inherent passion which if practiced helps to reach the goal.  
The Closing Ceremony which included the lowering of the School Flag was attended by the Principal, Head Boy and four House Captains.
That which begins has to come to a close for it to begin again.
