2024-25 X BatchGrowing up at NGIPS from Grades 1 to 10 shaped who I am today. More than just a school, it was a second home filled with lessons, friendships, and memories I will cherish forever.
I fondly remember the inspiration I drew from our Principal, Dr. C. Anthony Raj, whose guidance left a lasting impact. Physics and GK classes sparked my curiosity, while Geography lessons opened my mind to the world beyond the classroom.
From classrooms to sports fields, every moment was unforgettable. I enjoyed Mathematics alongside my favorite subjects, and found joy in football, tennis, and swimming. Serving as Vice Captain of Hibiscus House in Grade 9, when we won both the Best Sports House and the Overall Championship, remains a proud highlight.
Boarding life was like a family, filled with laughter and camaraderie. Friends became companions who taught me the true meaning of loyalty and belonging.
My heartfelt thanks to every teacher, staff member, and warden who nurtured, guided, and cared for us — your dedication made all the difference.
As I move forward, I carry with me the values, lessons, and spirit of NGIPS. I will always be proud and grateful to have been a student of this remarkable institution.
