The school marked National Sports Day with enthusiasm to commemorate the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand, India's legendary hockey player. The week-long celebration underscored the importance of physical fitness and sports in students' lives. Pupils actively participated in a variety of traditional games including Tug of Unity, Kho-Kho, Pithu Garam, Obstacle Races, Stapoo and other indigenous activities that fostered teamwork, coordination, and enjoyment. The celebrations began with students pledging to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship and commit to fitness as part of their daily routine. The principal, Gulshan Kaur, highlighted the initiative's significance, stating, "Sports play a vital role in the holistic development of every child, nurturing not just physical strength but also discipline, confidence and teamwork."

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
