Activities
The school ground is probably the largest in the Western suburbs. The school hosts its sporting event at the school grounds every year. Inter division football matches and mass drill are conducted on the school grounds. The school grounds, although not a public play ground, is open for school children to play until later evening (although this rule is not very strictly enforced and friends of students also join).
On Wednesdays the school conducts mass drill for all standards from 1st to 10th, around 2000 students assemble and the drill is conducted for around half an hour. One popular activity during the mass drill is the chance to beat the bass drum, for which every week the prefect of the senior classes (7-10) will be nominated to carry the drum from the sports store room and set it up and beat it while the exercises are done. A popular activity is to stand on a wooden bench in front of the 2000 students strong crowd and be the drill leader.
This school also conducts prayers on the stone ground on alternate days of week (except Thursday as it is a holiday).

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
