In his address, Leslie Arouza commended the parents, particularly the fathers, for taking time off from their busy schedules to attend the meeting. He emphasized the importance of providing healthy food to children, underscoring its impact on their physical and mental well-being. Arouza noted that today's children are astute observers but often struggle with listening, being intellectually advanced yet emotionally defenceless. He urged parents to model positive behaviours at home and discouraged sending young children to tuitions, advocating instead for quality family time. The interactive session saw parents eagerly engaging with Arouza, who provided valuable advice and solutions to their queries, earning widespread appreciation for his insights.
Sr Lilly Pushpa, the principal addressed the gathering, offering further valuable inputs and suggestions. She highlighted the importance of parental cooperation with the school management and staff to elevate the school's standards to even greater heights.
The meeting's programme, skilfully compered by Lara, also featured the introduction of new PTA members by Shanthi, Sharol announced the winners of the 'Rainy Cuisine' competition, with all participants being felicitated for their creativity and effort.
The event concluded on a high note with Payal proposing a heartfelt vote of thanks. The meeting wrapped up with the national anthem, followed by refreshments for all attendees, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among the parents and school staff.
