International School, Pawan Baug conducted its 17th Annual Day through
the magical journey of the evergreen tales and fables awakening the childhood

The
programme commenced with the Namokar Vandana followed by the felicitation
ceremony to applaud the students for the meritorious achievements this year.
The spectacular
Welcome dance displayed the majestically grand Disney Parade which left the
audience spellbound as the students made an extravagant entry in an elegantly
striking Disney castle carriage. Welcoming the audience were the Lion King
family, Aladdin and his troupe, the Disney Prince and Princess and our
Superheroes and Villains. The Principal, Mr Bijo Kurian presented the Annual
Day speech while the Annual Report of the School’s
achievements and accolades was put across by a group of students through a magical
presentation from the Great Hall of Witty.
Our theme this year for the 17th Annual Function is Once Upon A
Time- Magical Celebration, which enabled us to relive the stories we heard in
our childhood from across the world. For as long as we have been able to stand
upright and speak, we have told stories. They explained the mysteries of the
world.
A splendid blend of dances and drama was incorporated which
showcased our fairy tales and fables making us believe that there is no greater
time than now to begin to live your dreams. The dances truly ranged across a broad
gamut from the Indian legends like Kathputli, Yakshagan, Vikram Betaal, Tandav,
Robotic Ghoomar to the International folk tales of Mowgli, Lion King, Snow
white and the seven dwarfs, Aaj ka Mahabharat amongst others which truly set
the stage on fire. The students also paid a salute to sportswomen like Mary Kom
emphasizing the spirit of women power.
The highlights of the show were the shadow dances which refreshed
our memories of one of the most cherished Disney princesses – Cinderella. The shadow dance also paid a tribute to legendary
Maharashtrian heroes who have been instrumental in shaping Maharashtra. The
Qawali and the Sufi performance by the students truly transported all to the
world of magical dreams. This year also witnessed for the first time ever an
actual Witty Orchestra. The music rendered by the students was hypnotizing and
each beat played was flawless.
The Founder Dr. Vinay Jain also motivated and encouraged
the students and parents with his words of zeal and enthusiasm. It was a
memorable day for some of our students who had excelled in sports, music and
fine arts at the State and the National level Competitions as they were
felicitated and honoured by the Founder, Dr. Vinay Jain. He aptly said, “The Annual day brings a beautiful climax to the various enriching
events held throughout the year. It is a ceremony to celebrate the culmination
of a learning session. This year with our theme being ‘Once Upon a Time –
Magical Celebration’, we have transferred our vision of believing and
fulfilling our dreams to our children. They are now empowered to present
themselves to the world and attain all their dreams making them a reality.” The chief guests spoke about their achievements and
experience in their respective fields.
The Principal, Bijo Kurian addressed, “It gives me immense pleasure in seeing another
eventful year passing by. Year-on-year our students have proven their
capabilities and potential at various National and International platforms, by
winning accolades and laurels for the school. We will continue our endeavour to
fully equip our students to face the challenges of the real world.”
Among
the most acknowledged show was the UV which showcased yet another mythical
story of Aladdin and Jasmine and our fabled superheroes where the characters make us believe in ourselves even when
others doubt and discourage you. The UV act was one of the most magical
acts, weaving its spell through a multitude of props and visual tricks.
The finale was a never seen before performance
of Tron and Chroma which was rendered vibrantly by the students. The audience
was left thunderstruck with the magnitude of the energy and skills which were
displayed by our very own Witty students. With this, it was
the curtain call for this year’s celebration with the message to each one that the
future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. You can
make your dreams come true if you put in the effort and make a reasonable plan.
All you have to do is know what you want and take baby steps to be on your path
to success.
