It was then time to introduce our main speaker. As Ms. Farzana took over, the faces of the inquisitive parents began to look assured as Ms. Farzana gave a detailed insight on the various aspects of the board. Following this our home room facilitators distributed the curriculum-based books to the parents for them to refer as Ms. Farzana spoke in detail of each subject course and its parts. She further went on to expound the varied added courses we are to have at AIPS like sports, music, dance, drama, etc. Ms. Abigail Tixeira our Academic Head went on to further give a presentation on sports, its benefits and how we at AIPS will be incorporating it in our curriculum. After all the presentations, we opened the forum for questions and helped them clear all of the parent’s apprehensions. The day ended with an informal interaction of the parents and staff.
