"The joy of life lies in laughter and making others laugh."

On 20th January 2026, Queen’s Valley School conducted  a cheerful and inspiring ‘Hasi ke Moti – Bal Kaviyo Ki Mehfil’ Hasy Kavita Pratiyogita for the students of Class IV inspired by SDG 4. The aim of the event was to develop children's confidence, creativity, and expression through poetry.

Many students participated with great enthusiasm and presented their self-written or learned poems filled with humor, motivation, and positive messages. Some poems made everyone laugh, while others gave strong messages like “Never give up”, “Believe in yourself”, and “Help others”.

The audience enjoyed the rhymes, gestures, and confident delivery of all participants. Judges appreciated the efforts, expression, and presentation skills of the children.

The school organised The Intellectual Showdown : Debate Competition for Class IX on 16 January 2026 with the objective of promoting critical thinking, effective communication, and analytical reasoning among students. The event was aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, encouraging students to examine the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future.

The topic for the debate was “AI can replace human creativity and expression.” Each team was allotted a time limit of five minutes to present their arguments, followed by an interjector round that assessed their spontaneity, logical reasoning, and clarity of response.

The participants displayed commendable research skills, structured presentation, and confidence while articulating their viewpoints. The adjudicators evaluated the teams on content quality, organisation and structure, clarity and confidence, relevance, and responsiveness to the interjector’s questions.

The competition served as an intellectually stimulating platform, fostering innovation, respectful discourse, and awareness of technological advancements among students.
