Inter House English Competition

Middle Section

28^th July ‘2014

‘Global Prospective Indian Values’  is the truism  of Ahlcon. To prepare students to develop 21^st century skills and to enhance  their oratory skills various literary competitions are planned.  It is a major platform for students to gain confidence. Keeping this in mind on 28^th July 2014, an interhouse English competition was organized in the school auditorium.  It started with a tuneful  prayer ‘bind us together lord’.

Competition  was divided into three categories. For class VI poem recitation on the theme humour , for class VII ‘ Spin a Yarn’ on the theme moral values and for class VIII declamation was there. For declamation boys were given the topic ‘Service to Man is Service to God’ and  girls spoke on the topic ‘Money-an Addiction’. All the students recited poems very effectively and they were able to create humour all around.  Weaving a story on the spot requires ability to articulate one’s knowledge and understanding. Class VII students wove amazing stories using plenty of  proverbs, idioms and quotations. They were able to give moral value at the end of each story. Students delivered their declamation so powerfully as everyone sitting was astonished to listen to their speech.

Icing on the cake was the melodious  and soothing song ‘ We are the world’  sung by the group of girls. Each one requires some motivation to perform well and Principal Mr Ashok K Pandey is that motivational force to all the Ahlconites. He encouraged and praised all the participants. He was extremely overwhelmed  to see such a high level of competition. Section Incharge Ms Dimple Puri also applauded  for the participants and the English faculty of Middle Section. She also said ‘Great speakers are not born they are trained’. The program was a great success and it has created a quest in others to participate for next time.
