“Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of expression.”
Every year St. Kabir School organizes ‘SPANDAN’, an Inter Branch Poetry Recitation Competition for the students of std. 6 to 9 in Hindi, English or Gujarati and this year it was Gujarati. Different themes were given to different classes. The theme for std. 6 was Prernatmak Kavitao while that of std.7 was Veer Ras Ni Kavitao. The theme for std. 8 was Hasya Ras or Vyang Ni Kavitao and the theme for std.9 was Samkaalen Saamajik Vishayon Upar Kavitao. Students were judged on the parameters like relevance to the theme, confidence, voice modulation, memorization, articulation and overall presentation
The students of all segments from St. Kabir Navrangpura, enthusiastically participated in the competition as they got an opportunity to exhibit their talent and confidence. The young participants enthralled the audience with their articulation and memory skills while reciting poems. It was a splendid opportunity for them to gain confidence through stage exposure. Jency Patel bagged second position in std. 9 segment, Janmesh Shah bagged 3rd position in std. 8 segment and Aarushi Shah bagged 3rd position as well in std.6 segment.
