The school celebrated Raksha Bandhan with a unique twist, blending tradition with sustainability. Students and teachers crafted handmade biodegradable rakhis from natural materials like jute, leaves, cotton and paper, which were tied to plants and trees instead of wrists. This symbolic gesture represented a pledge to protect and care for nature. The students took an Environmental Oath, promising to reduce waste, plant more trees and avoid plastic. Chairperson Laxmi Devi praised the students' creativity and environmental awareness, calling it a "revolution in thought." Principal Rajan Sharma added that the celebration aimed to teach students that the planet needs protection just like any loved one, making it a meaningful tradition.

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).
