The school has a strong reading enrichment program to stimulate the love for literature among students. Many writing workshops are held for students throughout the year. To enthuse children about reading, school started with Chandigarh Literature festival in 2011, followed by Chandigarh Children’s literature festival. These festivals are organized annually in association with Adab foundation. These festivals feature events in which children get the opportunity to experience first-hand interaction with celebrated authors, illustrators and storytellers, take part in workshops and attend some fun-filled sessions.
To further nurture the students to read, a dedicated reading program runs at school in which students who read books and narrate stories in the assembly are awarded Reader’s badges and certificates. The more they read, the more they are awarded. It is the thinkers that we want to create.
