How you can help

  1. Register, even if you are only thinking of coming. The school will want to see how many are coming from each batch.

  2. Tell us about your teachers. More than 60 teachers and staff have served the school. Tell us who taught you, and from 21 November we will invite them in person.

  3. If you work in event management, catering, photography, decoration or gifts, say so in the form. Alumni get first priority.

  4. Be the contact for your batch. One person per batch, with a WhatsApp group, is all we need.

Takes about 2 minutes: name, batch and phone. Free, and it does not commit you.

Batches with a milestone this year
