Author, Environmentalist and Founder Secretary of Magnifique
Group of Educational institutions U.S. Moinuddin said in his speech, “When
students play sports they learn team work. They also learn to overcome shyness,
develop confidence and leadership skills. I believe that, paper marks alone do
not make students successful. Along with the syllabus of the schools, if
students are encouraged to learn life skills that include developing healthy relationships
with people, goal setting, effective communication skills and their ability to
convert their productive ideas into action, they can become successful in their
lives.”
The guest of Honour, B.R. Gopinath, the secretary of K.V. Subbanna
Aptha Rangamandira a popular auditorium and cultural centre, said in his
speech, “For the overall growth of a child, exposure to sports and cultural
activities are very important. I am very happy to see that the authorities of
Magnifique English School have been very encouraging to the students in these
regards.”
Medals and trophies were distributed to the students and also
to the winners of the specially held parents’ sports.
