“WE’RE NOT MEANT TO BE THE SAME BUT TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER”

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognise, accept, and celebrate those differences.” –Audre Lorde (Writer)

On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, the students of classes XII-S and XII-T presented their class assembly, where they came together, acknowledged their differences, and learnt to accept and appreciate them. While our differences give us a sense of identity and help us feel special, we can embrace them without making others feel alienated. The significance of the message of this assembly, which is being aware of how all humans are made equal, is profound. The students emphasised the importance of interpersonal relationships, inclusivity and friendship.

The Assembly commenced with a reverent prayer, ‘Subah savere leke tera naam prabhu’ performed by Garima, Ishi, Aritri, Aishani, Aashni, Malvika, Samiya, Bhavishya, Aryan Jha, Raunak, and Hari Bala. This was followed by the introduction, containing a beautiful poem with an intimate touch, ‘Come- I saved you a seat’ by Aahana. A graceful dance, vandana, portraying gratitude, was performed by Jia, Diya, Aanandi and Mahira. Subsequently, Vaishnavi and Garima delivered a comprehensive speech to the audience, perfectly articulating the theme of the assembly.

A unique and realistic poem, ‘My classmates’, recited by Aashni, set the stage for the fascinating skit enacted by Ananya, Aishani, Kartikeya, Eshita, Nishtha, Pallvisha, Aritri, Yuvraj K, Divyaa, Keshav, Ridhi, Manas, Yuvraj S, Harshil, Krishiv, Dronn, and Giana. The play depicted a conflict between friends due to differences in decisions and preferences. It was coupled with the struggle of adjusting to the evolution of people around us. It started with students embracing their distinct choices, which was further enhanced by the wonderfully harmonious choir sung and instrumented by Pavni, Shreeya, Ishi, Ayang, Muskan, Darsh, Aryaman, Yuvraj K, Yuvraj S, Aritri, Aashni, Suhani, Vineet, Garima, Aayush, Supriya, Keshav, Aahana, Bhoomi, Vanshika, Kartikeya, and Pallvisha on the melodious and meaningful song ‘Safe and Sound’.

However, as the plot of the skit thickened, the students witnessed their friend groups collapsing due to these same choices. This conflict gave way to a powerful dance performed by Anushka, Rehhet, Maahira, and Supriya on a dramatic tune, which illustrated an impactful picture of our inner voices and our negative thoughts of self-doubt and insecurity. As the acceptance of the students’ choices by their friends was expressed, a passionate poem, ‘What fades away’, was delivered to the audience by Peyuli. After the restoration of peace, a poem rich with symbolism and metaphors, ‘Lilies and Roses’, was recited by Nishtha. This was followed by the coordinated and exciting dance performed by Anushka, Rehhet, Kartikeya, Keshav, Yuvraj S, Abhinav C, Abhinav K, Aryaman, Aayush, Darsh, Gayatri, Supriya, Maahira, Jia, Aishani, Manas, Aahana, Suhani, Shambhavi on a cheerful instrumental facilitating a phenomenal response from the audience which made for a perfect concluding act to the assembly.

The folders and invitation cards were creatively crafted by Gayatri and Anushka, while the board was splendidly decorated by Gayatri, Shreeya, Ridhi, Hari Bala and Giana. The digital presentation was drafted and presented by Shreeya, Ridhi, Aryaman, and Nyra. The compering was fluently done by Shreeya, Ridhi, Aryaman, and Giana. The incredible show culminated with the playing of the School Anthem, followed by the National Anthem. The class assembly of XII–S and XII–T captured the beauty of belongingness and inclusivity along with the heartfelt essence of friendship and accepting others as our companions, not despite their differences but with their differences.

Breaking Barriers, Building Bonds – Together We Rise- “Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.” – Jesse Jackson.

There are days when school transcends the pages of a timetable and becomes something altogether more profound — a space for shared reflection, for honest expression, for art that breathes.

The day’s theme — Breaking Barriers, Building Bonds: Together We Rise — was not a slogan, but a sentiment that threaded its way through every performance, every word, every silent pause. The assembly opened with a quiet reverence: a morning prayer that stilled the room, followed by a tranquil shloka by Shayona and Purvi, grounding the gathering in something older, wiser, and deeply rooted.

Kanav and Agrini, our comperes for the morning, carried the audience through each segment with poise and ease, not as announcers, but as thoughtful curators of a story being told in fragments of music, theatre, poetry, and truth. From the first note of the choir’s hymn to compassion, to the last echo of the national anthem, the assembly was nothing short of a tapestry — rich, vulnerable, courageous. Thoughts for the day were not platitudes. They were honest reckonings with what it means to include, to listen, to make room. The student speakers did not perform — they confessed. With clarity and courage, they challenged us to imagine a world where kindness wasn’t random, but a rule. A world where labels dissolved, and humanity remained.

The classical dance, introduced by Vansh and Satya, unfurled like a poem in motion — a breathtaking metaphor for shared cultural memory. And then came the poems — self-penned by Agrini and Kavya — that felt less like recitations and more like revelations. Their voices, soft yet unsparing, carved out silences that said more than applause ever could. A theatrical tribute to mothers stood at the emotional centre of the assembly — heart-wrenching in its simplicity, dignified in its humour, and achingly real. It reminded everyone that some sacrifices are so quiet, they go unheard — unless we choose to listen. The music ensemble, introduced by Anuvrat and Shivesh, struck notes not just of melody but meaning. Instruments became voices; silence, a canvas. Then came the western dance — bold, joyous, defiant. Abhinav and Purvi led with unapologetic energy, a living metaphor for expression that refuses to be boxed in.

As the assembly drew to a close, the compères offered closing reflections that stitched the morning’s disparate pieces into one resonant message: that true progress isn’t in perfection, but in participation — when every voice, every story, every soul is given space to be heard. Shivesh and Purvi’s Vote of Thanks was heartfelt and dignified, acknowledging every invisible hand that shaped the morning’s success — the faculty, the mentors, the school’s leadership. Principal Mr. Anil Kumar, in his address, praised the students’ intellectual grace and emotional authenticity, calling the assembly a “portrait of empathy in motion.” The ceremony ended with the school anthem and the national anthem, not as a formality, but as a shared ritual of unity — a moment of collective breath. This wasn’t just an assembly. It was a mirror, a song, a revolution wrapped in student voices. It reminded us that when we choose to rise, together, we rise as humans.

BOUND BY BONDS BEYOND THE BOOKS:

In a world that often divides, inclusivity stands as a bridge—uniting individuals across boundaries of background, belief, and identity. “Bound by Bonds beyond the Books” explores the unseen threads that connect us beyond classrooms and curricula. It is a celebration of relationships built on empathy, respect, and shared experiences—bonds that nurture a truly inclusive community where every voice matters, and every person belongs.

The Assembly began on a positive note with the morning prayer sung by Advita, Prachi, Hridya, Paridhi, Gurjas, Nimish, Aryan A, Shaurya, Aryan V, Jaskirat, Mridul, Jigisha, Harshita, Aaron, Samaira, Avaaniee. It was followed by a Shiv Stuti performed by Vaishnavi, Nivida. Thought of the Day was given by Dev, Anwita. Shloka was recited in Sanskrit and translated in English by Neelakshi, Saiyansh. News was read by Sidhant, Jaskirat, Ardaas, Vaibhav. There was a Dance performed by Tanishka, Trisha, Caesha, Drishti, Tanvi, Anishika, Paavani. This performance was a tribute to the unspoken bonds that connect us all—bound by understanding, respect, and shared human spirit.

Inclusivity isn’t just an idea—it’s an action, a feeling, a way of life. The speeches spoken by Ayati, Jasraj, Shivin reflected on how the strongest connections aren’t always formed in lessons, but in laughter, support, and shared journeys. The choir performance by Advita, Nimish, Jasraj, Jaskirat, Aryan V, Gurjas, Tanishka, Shravya, Aaron, Manan, Aryan A, Ishaan, Shiven, Mridul, Hridya, Sarthak, Armaan, Samaira, Shaurya, Akash, Paridhi, Vidush, Oujasya, Avaaniee expressed theme of inclusivity, showing how diverse voices can come together to create something truly beautiful. A skit of 4 students from our school showcased how while the students were learning to adjust with each other, they ended up making school their second home. It was a story of inclusivity—of how we grow stronger when we embrace each other’s differences and build friendships beyond the classroom walls. Sometimes, the most powerful lessons are the ones not written in textbooks.”

Last but not the least, a heartfelt tribute was given to the mothers of the world who shape lives with strength, sacrifice, and endless care. It’s not just a celebration, but a thank you—for every silent prayer, every warm hug, and every lesson taught without a word. It was creatively showcased through a beautiful poem recited by Caesha Goyal. The colourful digital presentation was created by Rujul, Prachi, Mokshaa, Shubham .The invites and soft board were made by Prachi, Ayati, Harshita, Nivida, Vaishnavi, Samaira, Anshika, Anwita and Gunika.
