“Prayer is the key that unlocks the door to God’s heart.”

The morning assembly at our school is a vital ritual, marking the beginning of each day with a sense of purpose and unity. As students gather on campus, the serene atmosphere resonates with prayers, uplifting songs, and inspiring messages. From sharing news updates to celebrating student achievements, every element of the assembly contributes to fostering a positive and productive environment. Class-wise rotations ensure that each group gets the opportunity to lead the assembly, promoting inclusivity and allowing every student to showcase their talents. Additionally, special assemblies held on important national and international days serve as reminders of our shared values and global citizenship.

Furthermore, Saturdays are dedicated to house-wise assemblies, reinforcing camaraderie among students and fostering a sense of belonging within each house. Through these gatherings, we not only receive blessings for the day ahead but also cultivate a spirit of community and collaboration that extends beyond the morning assembly. In this way, the assembly serves as a cornerstone of our school culture, nurturing both individual growth and collective unity.
