Sport mirrors life, they say. Its trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows, hopes and
losses… are all reminiscent of what life takes us through. Sport builds and reveals
character of humans. It also serves as a great teacher, mentor, and motivator.
New Horizon Gurukul celebrated its Annual Sports Day on 23rd and 24th of December
at New Horizon College of Engineering ground amidst great enthusiasm and
camaraderie for the secondary and primary students respectively. The program was
held in the presence of our honourable chief guests Mr. Dhanvir Singh (on 23rd) and
Mr. J. Santhosh Kumar, Sports Development Officer (on 24th) presided over by the
principal, Ms. Sandhya Singh. A large gathering of proud parents was present to
witness the grand event.

The event had its grand opening at 8.30 am with lighting of the lamp and hoisting of
our school flag by the chief guest. This was followed by a glorious and synchronised
march past by all the four houses, Agni, Jal, Prithvi and Vayu, oath taking by the
council members and the lighting of the torch. The Annual Sports Meet was then
declared open by the chief guest. There were vivid field displays like dance drill, yoga
and Mixed Martial Arts alternated by energetic track events by Primary and Secondary
grade students. The most entertaining part of the event was the field display involving
mass student participation.

The award ceremony came soon after and the achievers were awarded with medals,
trophies and certificates. Prithvi house was declared the overall ‘Best House’ in the
sports events.

At the closing ceremony, the house flags and school flag were handed over to the
principal by the council members and the Annual Sports Meet was declared closed.
The blazing flame that hit the retreat was then put to rest. During the event
refreshments and snacks were distributed.
The day came to an end with happy faces of proud parents and students
