Silambam
Grading Ceremony
Students of our school can take up Karate or Silambam as their CCE
activity. They are trained by experienced coaches and are graded regularly at
the end of the academic term. The grading ceremony for Karate and Silambam
was conducted on 15.02.2020 and 22.02.2020 respectively, and like all derivative
martial arts it was formalized. Moving on to the next rank means that the student is
no longer considered a beginner, but not necessarily an expert. Rather it means
that one has learned the basics. It is pertinent to say here that the students
had practiced diligently and had proved themselves before being given their
advancement. The event became an important factor in boosting the
self-confidence of the students by inculcating in them the spirit
of sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline.
