The Senior School of Seth M.R. Jaipuria School marked the conclusion of the academic session 2025–26 with a special assembly that brought together reflection, gratitude and celebration. A thoughtfully curated display board titled “The Year That Was: A Journey from April 2025 to March 2026” stood as a visual highlight, showcasing a collage of moments and milestones from across the year.
The morning began on a serene note with a shloka, prayer and a medley of songs, setting a calm and reflective tone.
Addressing the gathering, Vice Chairperson Anjali Jaipuria Ma’am expressed heartfelt gratitude towards the teachers and appreciation for the students. She said, “I get tears in my eyes when I see an assembly so beautiful. I observed how concentrated our children were in their prayer to the divine. It’s really heartening.”
Principal Promini Chopra Ma’am, in her address, spoke about the importance of a balanced and integrated approach to growth. She emphasised, “Life is one big whole and you cannot divide it into fragments. It can’t be fragmented. You cannot look at one aspect of your development and not care for the other. If you study, there is no reason that you cannot participate in co-curricular activities. It only helps you to manage time better and take sensible decisions.”
A significant highlight of the assembly was the recognition of the school’s JEE batch, where students were felicitated for their performance in the JEE Mains examination, with a majority scoring above the 92 percentile and several achieving above the 99.5 percentile mark.
In Innoventure, a national-level competition organised by IntelligencePlus and the Innoventure World Foundation, the school saw notable participation. Out of over 1.28 lakh students from 1,500+ schools, 19 students qualified for the national finale, with six representing the school at NICMAR University, Pune.
These students were felicitated during the assembly, with finalists including Lavanya Shukla, Ayansh Kumar, Anvi Sahai, Nimesh Niranjan and Ishanvi Singh Bohra, while Fareeha Mashhood Khan emerged as the national winner in her category.
The assembly also acknowledged winners of the Hummingbird Spelling Competition, highlighting students’ command over language and vocabulary.
Beyond this, students were appreciated for their performances at the International Adolescent Leadership Summit and the Young Creators League, highlighting their diverse strengths.
The assembly also celebrated achievements through various awards, including academic awards, co-curricular recognitions, and the presentation of home, sports and overall trophies, acknowledging consistent effort and participation throughout the year.
Under the Conscious Transformation Awards, students were recognised for their inner growth and self-awareness. The awardees included Anmol Khanchandani, Nabh Srivastava, Siddharth Mohan Tripathi and Divyansh Gupta.
Adding a cultural dimension to the morning, Paulomi Srivastava, who secured the 12th rank in an inter-school Sanskriti dance competition, presented a graceful Kathak performance. This was followed by a classical dance performance by Misha Singh on Ami Je Tomar, which added depth and expression to the segment.
A special moment of the assembly was dedicated to Nidhi Srivastava Ma’am on the occasion of her retirement, where she interacted with students and reflected on her journey as an educator.
When asked about what reaffirmed her decision to become a teacher, Nidhi Srivastava Ma’am reflected on the moments that stayed closest to her heart. She said, “There have been many such moments in my journey. Whenever I see that spark of understanding in a child’s eyes, and when students are able to express their thoughts with confidence through their words and through literature, it gives me immense happiness. In those moments, I feel that my decision to become a teacher was absolutely right.”
Recalling a particularly meaningful experience, she spoke about a batch of students whose journey left a lasting impact on her. “I remember a class I taught where some students were very bright, some were hardworking, and some were quite distracted initially. They had not taken things seriously earlier, but when they reached Class 10, they worked very hard. When the board results came, even I was anxious about how they would perform. But one after the other, so many students scored 99 in Hindi. I had tears in my eyes seeing their success. It reminded me that children are capable of anything, they just need to put in the effort.”
