Junior, Middle, and Senior School Diwali Celebrations: Illuminating the Inner Spirit
November 6, 2026
Seth M. R. Jaipuria School held the 7th Annual Athletic Meet for the Junior School with great pomp and splendour on 13 and 14 November 2026. The Athletic Meet commenced with flag hoisting, followed by the singing of the Jaipuria Anthem. The four Houses of Wisdom, Harmony, Strength, and Perfection presented a rhythmic and coordinated march past. This was followed by oath-taking and the ceremonial lighting of the torch.
The event was formally declared open by the Principal, Ms. Promini Chopra. In her thoughtful message, she emphasised the importance of sports in a holistic educational system. Aligning with the Integral Education model that accords physical education a central role in a child’s development, she said: ‘Without sports, the purpose of education remains unfulfilled’. She also underscored how learning from failure helps build emotionally resilient individuals. She drove home the message that sporting events are less about winning than about the joy of participating and learning to become better versions of oneself.
The Athletic Meet hosted a plethora of events for boys and girls such as drills, 50-metre, 100-metre, 200-metre races, and a variety of relays. At the end of the two-day rigorous Athletic Meet that tested the physical and mental endurance of its participants, Sanidhya Pandey (6B, House of Wisdom) and Reyansh Agarwal (6B, House of Perfection) were jointly declared the 2026–2027 Athletic Champions in ‘D’ Division for Boys, with 7 points each. Aradhya Yadav (6A, House of Strength) was the 2026–2027 Athletic Champion in ‘D’ Division for Girls, with 11 points.
As the Meet concluded, the students took home more than the medals that they won: it was the experience of embodying true sporting spirit, the honing of skill, the courage of endurance, and the value of empathy that they displayed during the two-day intensive sporting events.
