The school hosted the 16th edition of the Clive Shear Memorial Carrom Tournament, with participation from 15 teams representing eight reputed schools across the tricity. The two-day tournament culminated in a final match between St. Xavier’s School branches in Chandigarh and Panchkula. The school emerged victorious in both the girls’ and boys’ categories. Medals were awarded to the runners-up by the additional principal, Gavin Bond and junior vice-principal, Trevor S Shear. Principal George S Shear presented trophies to the winning teams and applauded the students for their sportsmanship and active participation.

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).
