“Travel is the best teacher,” and our recent educational trip to *Vietnam* proved this beautifully. From *25th January to 2nd February*, nearly 43 enthusiastic students accompanied by three teachers from Classes 5 to 9 embarked on an unforgettable, enriching, and exhilarating international journey filled with learning, laughter, and limitless excitement.

Our adventure began in the charming capital city of Hanoi, where we visited the serene Tran Quoc Pagoda, the iconic One Pillar Pagoda, and the sacred Perfume Pagoda.

A truly spellbinding experience awaited the students at Ha Long Bay. Cruising through the emerald waters surrounded by majestic limestone mountains, mysterious sea caves, dramatic cliffs, and panoramic vistas felt like stepping into a living postcard.

In Da Nang, nature unfolded its grandeur before the students. The  visit to Ba Na Hills was magical. The world-famous Golden Bridge, gently held by giant stone hands, left us speechless with its architectural brilliance. The charming and vibrant French Village, with its cobbled streets and European elegance, was beautiful.The misty mountains, cool breeze, and colorful gardens created a delightful and refreshing atmosphere.

In Ho Chi Minh City the students explored peaceful pagodas like Vinh Nghiem Pagoda and Jade Emperor Pagoda. A visit to the lush and fertile Mekong Delta was another unforgettable highlight. The endless paddy fields, winding rivers, floating markets, and simple village life painted a breathtaking picture of rural Vietnam and boating along the Mekong river was spectacular.

What touched our hearts the most was the kindness, humility, and simplicity of the Vietnamese people. Their warm smiles, gracious hospitality, and gentle nature made us feel welcomed.

On the 77th Republic Day, our school stood united in pride and gratitude, celebrating India’s democratic strength, rich heritage, and the responsibility of shaping a better tomorrow.

With music, dance, and endless smiles, Class IX wished their seniors a joyful farewell. The flight-themed celebration symbolised courage, dreams, and the exciting journey Class X is ready to take into the future.
