A Learning Experience of a Different Kind...

GCE, Salem 11 hosted a 5-day Career Guidance Programme for students of the twelfth in the GCE games field. An unimaginable huge pandal, big enough to seat 5000 people at a time was erected. Pre-event meetings with the Principal saw committees being formed and all the teachers and students being involved in the mega event...don't think GCE has ever seen the likes of such a public event. The district Collector, Shri.D.Mathivannan inaugurated the programme. Media coverage was unexpected too...The arrangements were done in a meticulous manner and everyone was deeply involved in the jobs entrusted to them. The programme has given everyone a filip in learning to organise large events and to work as teams.
It would be unforgivable of me, if I did not report on the GECOFEST 7.0 as they called it this year. It followed the 5-day programme immediately and was held in the huge pandal. Creativity was as usual at its height. Though the day was incredibly hot, there was as ususal the good, the bad and the ugly crowd to pep the day's events. There was the usual share of disqualifications and protests and timed out dances. The final years played hosts and gave only host performances. They were amazing in the compereing, skits, dances and music as well. I always love the opening music of GECOFESTs and this year it was no different.
Well, alumni can now await the graduation day, another solemn and formal function being planned by the principal on the 21st of April, if I am not wrong.
