Students of Classes VI to IX belonging to the NCC, RSP, and Scouts &
Guides had the proud opportunity to witness the Passing Out Parade at the Officers
Training Academy (OTA), Chennai. In September 2025, about 90 students attended the
event, and in March 2026, another group of 70 students participated. They were
accompanied by their teacher, Mr. Joseph Sangeeth.
On both occasions, the students reported to school at 4:30 a.m. and
travelled by bus to the Officers Training Academy. They reached the venue and were
seated in the gallery by 5:00 a.m. The parade commenced at 6:00 a.m., presenting a
spectacular display of discipline and coordination.
The students were deeply inspired as they witnessed the perfectly synchronized marching
of the newly commissioned officers. The event provided them with valuable insights into
the life of the Armed Forces, highlighting the importance of discipline, leadership,
dedication, and patriotism. They also gained a better understanding of the sacrifices
made by soldiers who guard the nation’s borders.
