Raksha Bandhan was celebrated at the school. The celebration began with a special morning assembly where students spoke about the significance and history of Raksha Bandhan. Students from the primary section showcased their creativity through beautifully crafted rakhis and they also tied their rakhis to the trees to protect and preserve them, symbolising a bond of care and responsibility toward nature. The school also organised Tiranga rakhi-making workshops and competition to dispatch rakhis to soldiers and police personnel, spreading the message of mutual respect, care, and protection beyond familial boundaries. Principal Vandna Bhatnagar emphasised that festival like Raksha Bandhan is a wonderful opportunity to reinforce cultural traditions while promoting message of peace and unity.

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).
