The school hosted an exciting and engaging "Just a Minute" competition, bringing together students from various classes to test their spontaneity, presence of mind, and fluency in English. Each participant had to speak impromptu for one minute on a randomly selected topic. The speakers impressed the audience with their vocabulary and clarity of thought. The panel of judges evaluated participants based on fluency, content, confidence and time management. School Principal George S Shear praised the participants for their outstanding efforts, creativity and vocal delivery.

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).
