The assembly on World Senior Citizen’s Day aimed to recognize and acknowledge the contributions
of older people in our society. Some students tried their hands on writing a tribute to their

a deed of kindness for their grandparents by making them feel special on this day.

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS

Kindness is one of the core values one acquires from their
surroundings. It can’t be taught directly but is learnt

indirectly through actions and words. The World
Kindness Day is celebrated on 12 November 2020 to
highlight and appreciate the good deeds in the community. It
focuses on the positive power and the common thread of
kindness which binds us. The students of grade five celebrated

this day with the aim of encouraging everyone to be kind,
compassionate and appreciative of all that they possess.
