A farewell speech was delivered by Avinish Gupta of Class XI-A, expressing admiration, appreciation, and best wishes for the outgoing batch.

A video presentation was screened thereafter, featuring moments of the outgoing students from various school events, bringing back fond memories and evoking a sense of nostalgia. This was followed by the Head Boy’s speech, in which he conveyed his thoughts, experiences, and wishes for his peers as they prepared to embark on a new phase of life.
