INDEPENDENCE
DAY
The students of grade VII and Prep C conducted the
special Independence Day assembly on August 14,
2019. The programme spread a sense of patriotism
amongst the students in the auditorium.
The young performers showcased with pride, the
events of courage, valour and supreme sacrifice of
our freedom fighters under the leadership of
Mahatma Gandhi.
As vigilant citizens of a free nation, we should not
take our freedom for granted. Every Independence
Day is a reminder to the citizens of India of the
selfless sacrifice of the martyrs. What a high price
this precious freedom entailed!
Unsurpassable! Jaan Jaaye Par Shaan Na Jaaye!

“Our class got the opportunity to conduct the
special Independence Day assembly. With a heart
full of pride and love for our country, we, the
students of grade VII, presented the morning
assembly. As a grand finale presentation, we made a
pyramid of students, in which I stood at the top and
fluttered the tricolour.
We learnt a lot from the address of our Principal
ma'am. In her speech, she explained to us the real
meaning of the word ‘freedom’.

“During the assembly, our Principal
ma’am took a quiz. Ma’am quoted some
famous slogans. We enthusiastically
named the freedom fighter who spoke
those famous quotes. The whole
exercise was engaging and interesting.
My emotional bond for my country
and my zeal to protect my motherland
grew stronger.”

“The Independence Day assembly was
very energetic. Our dear Principal
ma'am told us about the importance
of this special day. She also played a
quiz with all of us which enriched our
knowledge about our Freedom
Fighters. The stunts performed in the
dance showcased the strength of
students. In the skit, the students showed
the sacrifices of our great leaders
and freedom fighters. We should
always remember their contribution
in providing us with the opportunity
to be a part of this great nation. Jai
Hind.”

“You must be the change you wish to

th
To commemorate the 150 anniversary of
the Father of the Nation- Mahatma Gandhi,
Pacific World School organised a special
assembly on 1 October 2019. In order to
st
promote Khadi, the heritage fabric of India,
students were asked to come to school
dressed in khadi or cotton clothes. They
were encouraged to wear Khadi with pride
and give impetus to Khadi Cottage Industry
and swadeshi goods to strengthen self-reli-
ance and sustenance in rural India.
The children watched a video about the life
and preaching of Bapu. Songs, poems and
dance on Mahatma Gandhi’s favourite
bhajan- Raghupati Raghav Rajaram created
a divine ambience.
Gandhiji termed cleanliness next to only
godliness and rightly so. The school organ-
ised a cleanliness drive to instil a sensibility
towards a clean environment. Our young
learners were motivated to imbibe this
noble virtue through the cleanliness drive.
The programme concluded with a pledge to
save our beautiful planet Earth and join
hands to ban the use of single use plastic.
“As a presenter of the assembly, I got the
opportunity to share the teachings of
Gandhiji. I am so proud of the Father of Our
Nation.”

“Inspired by Bapu's beautiful thought “Swachh
Bharat, Swasth Bharat,” we picked up brooms
and dustpan as we were motivated to clean
the area adjacent to our school. We also
installed some blue and green dustbins for
disposal of dry and wet waste respectively.
After a while, Principal ma’am joined us and
gave us feedback on our work. She also spoke
about some valuable thoughts of Mahatma
Gandhi. She encouraged us to keep our home
and surroundings clean and fresh. She insisted
that we plant as many plants possible. After
that, we formed a straight file and headed
towards our respective classes. We enjoyed
the day because we did something special.”

“During the cleanliness drive, I had a feeling
that I had joined hands with our Prime Minister
Mr Narendra Modi in his mission to make India
clean and healthy. I had a lot of fun and felt
happy to work for the community.”
