any student of Sacred Heart Matriculation Higher Secondary School also

high on the list of the most vivid and colorful memories of school life.
Blessed with its own dedicated field, a true advantage in these times
of limited space and crowded schools, sports has always been an important
part of school life.

then Sports Day was never just about sports – it was a festive
reflection of the spirit of the school – a spirit which every
alumnus takes away – whatever we do must be our best. It is therefore
hardly surprising that the ongoing centenary celebrations of the school,
