Students became digitally competent to some extent. They wereperforming very well in making PowerPoint presentations in their academic
and co-curricular activities. Students have shown zeal and zest in learning
new things. They made collages and painted a poster. They gave
presentations to their school mates about the importance of health andwell-being.

their classmates and with teachers. They have well-presented that they
are well mannered and well polished students. Their collaboration was
highly satisfactory.
