 “Talent can’t be taught, but it can be awakened.”

We at J. H. Tarapore School believe that children display their natural abilities through various activities. Right opportunities would ensure the making of a prodigy. So, these natural abilities need to be nurtured in every possible way. ‘One Day Fun Day’- a youth festival, is a day full of fun and enjoyment, organized to spend good times with friends, collect memories and be happy.

The various events help the children to showcase their talent and develop confidence in them. The day began with the release of the balloons by our Chairman, Mr. Bailey Bodhanwala & Mrs. Rubina Bodhanwala, Managing Trustee, Tarapore Schools. The excitement took momentum with ‘Nukkad Natak’ – a theme based street play to bring awareness amongst children on social issues. 

Events like Leaf Arrangement, Sudoku, Face Painting, Fashion Show, Cooking without Fire, Crossword, Standup Comedy, Group Song and Dance, Drawing, Dress and Jewellery Designing, Channel Surfing brought in creativity, innovation and created an atmosphere of learning with joy.

A day well spent in school which really helped identify the inherent qualities of the children.
