The meeting began with the welcome address by the our deputy principal Ms. Shalini Sharma, who emphasized on the benefits of joining DP program to be curious, creative and life long learner. Later our current Grade 12 student Malvika Mehta addressed the audience to share her experience of deciding her subject for the DP program. She emphasized on the importance of selecting the subjects that you like the most and not getting influenced by just what your friends are taking. She also shared how guidance from her seniors, teachers and university guidance team has helped her finalize her subjects.
Mr. Navroz Billimoria, our Principal of Secondary school further encouraged us to take the process seriously and make it specific to suit your career path, and not just following the stereotype. He shared an example of an alumnus how he opted the subjects which he has never studied before including Theatre Arts, but went to pursue business in NYU stern.
