Students, whether active, or as alumni’s, are an essential part of educational institutions.

Students performed musical performances. The meet concluded with a short video, compiled by the teachers, showing students journey as students.

Students left the event, carrying a promise that teachers are always hopeful of them to update them, of any new developments in their professional careers.
