That’s wonderful! Celebrating Republic Day at school is a fantastic way to instill patriotism and teach students about India’s constitutional values.
Here’s what a typical Republic Day celebration at Amara Jyothi English Primary School might have looked like, combining common elements of such school events:
Probable Highlights of the Celebration:
The Grand Morning Assembly:
- Flag Hoisting: The chief guest would hoist the Indian flag. This is followed by the National Anthem, sung with great pride.
- March Past: Students from various houses would perform a disciplined march past, saluting the dignitaries on the dais. This encourages discipline and teamwork.
- Vote of Thanks: A teacher and student leader thanks the chief guest, participants, and organizers.
- Distribution of Sweets: The celebration often concludes with the distribution of sweets.
The Educational Message:
The school would emphasize that Republic Day is not just a holiday but a reminder of:
- The adoption of the world’s longest written constitution.
- The values that make India a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic.
- The duties of every citizen, especially the youth, to uphold these values.
