On the occasion of Friendship Day, NPS HSR organized activities to foster understanding, camaraderie and compassion among students and teachers. The occasion saw students of grades 9 to 12 pen down personalized, short heartwarming messages for their peers. While grade 6 students engaged in a reimagined version of the Chinese whisper, students of grades 7 shared positive attributes and anecdotes about their friends, and grade 8 students exchanged friendship bands with their classmates. On 5 August 2023, the teachers at NPS HSR produced reels that spotlighted the warmth and friendship that existed among the teachers. The activities helped forge strong bonds among students and teachers.
