The assembly began with a soulful worship song led by the Kannada Department teachers, setting a respectful and uplifting tone for the event. A series of inspiring speeches followed, delivered first in Kannada and then translated to ensure all could appreciate the origin and significance of Karnataka.

Adding to the day’s charm, middle and senior students gave an enchanting traditional dance performance, choreographed by our talented teacher, Mrs. Hannah Priya. Dressed in vibrant, colourful costumes, the performers moved gracefully to the rhythm of classic Kannada songs, delighting the audience with a mesmerizing display that showcased Karnataka’s cultural richness and beauty.
