Curiosity is indeed the mother of all knowledge. The spirit of questioning and finding answers is one of the most pivotal skills that needs to be inculcated, reinforced and practiced with our students. We at St. Columba’s believe in the fact that it is not only important to teach the child what to learn but also how to learn it. Staying true to this spirit, the Intra Class Annual Quiz of Class 2 was organised on the fine morning of 30th September, 2020.
The quiz was conducted on two days i.e 29th and 30th September respectively. The final round was conducted on the second day.
The quiz had a solemn and peaceful start with a heart touching prayer service song to express our gratitude to the Lord Almighty. This was followed by a captivating prelude presentation by the boys. The boys through an interesting conversational skit highlighted the essence of learning through questions. The prelude surely brought about an encouraging message for all, that God’s creation around us is full of wonders and we must find joy in knowledge and discovery. The boys impressed one and all as they reiterated our School Motto which urges the proud Columbans to dare to know, learn and seek wisdom sincerely and consistently. The prelude gave a befitting ode to the spirit of questioning.
What followed was full of palpable excitement as the boys faced different question rounds based on topics
The participants displayed effective discipline as they followed the prescribed netiquette during the online quiz competition. They were ready with the option-cards as instructed and lifted the cards to display the correct option on the screen. The rounds were interspersed with many exciting fun moments when the Quiz Master, Miss V. Sharma posed thought provoking and witty questions to Brother Miranda and Mrs Sheel. Both were all enthusiastic and impressed the students with their correct answers. These moments surely brought in much cheer and fun to the event.
The event culminated with a medley musical presentation by the Learning Centre teachers and the Music teachers who performed and brought their acting and musical skills to fore.
This Quiz event was surely a step towards reinforcing our students to fuel their quest of finding answers. In these times of Online Schooling technology acted as a facilitator by bringing innovation to the quiz and ensuring active participation.
Our Honourable Principal, Brother Miranda applauded the efforts of the boys and the teachers. He encouraged them to continue seeking knowledge and learning.
The Headmistress of the Junior School, Mrs. Ritu Kaushal was all praise for the boys to have followed the netiquette and making this online quiz event a great success.
