School competitions get a twist with ‘Back to Roots’

The Children’s Academy Group of Schools recently hosted the 19th annual Late Shri VV Bhat Memorial Trophy Competitions.

Around 42 schools and over 1,500 students from the city participated in the event. The event was started in 2002 in memory of the school’s founder-principal.

The Shri VV Bhat Memorial Trophy was won by Infant Jesus School, Malad. Rohan Bhat, chairman, Children’s Academy Group of Schools, said, “VVBhat was a proponent of the idea of holistic education, probably before the phrase was coined. He believed that only focusing on curricular knowledge, while leaving co-curricular education was detrimental and thus Children’s Academy focuses on co-curricular activities.”

The theme for this year’s competition was ‘Back to Roots’. Competitions were held for students of Classes 1 to 9 along with a couple of special events for teachers as well.

The ‘Walk of Civilisation’ event was a twist on the concept of a fashion show, where students were expected to dress like people in ancient civilizations such as Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Chinese, or Mayan.

‘Book Influencers’ was another competition where students had to review a book in the way modern literature vloggers do but, in a twist, they had to review a classic as if it had just been released. In the competition, ‘Down Memory Lane’, the teachers and students had to dance on Bollywood music before the 1970s.

Another unique aspect of the competitions is that points were awarded to the top 6 entrants in every event, instead of recognizing only the top 3, to encourage students to continue to work hard.

The first runner-up trophy was awarded to St. John’s SSC and the second runner-up trophy was bagged by Witty International School, Pawan Baug.

Rohit Bhat, CEO, Children’s Academy Group of Schools, said, “We want to ensure that students, whether they win or lose, understand that the true joy of competition is in learning.”

Beginning of a new journey

The farewell for SSC students was recently organised at Our Lady of Vailankanni School, Naigaon (East), by students of Class 9. The Class 9 students called the programme ‘Beginning of a new journey’.   They danced, sang, recited poetry and even rapped for the SSC students. Games were also organised for the students. However, the highlight of the show was the ramp walk, followed by the crowning of OLVS King and Queen 2020. A video made by the students for the departing batch was a very touching moment which brought back memories from their early school days.  The students were given a token from the school by the principal.  The SSC students, too, presented the school with a small token of love. The teachers and the non-teaching staff members prayed for each and every SSC student.
