“<strong>Everyone</strong> <strong>has</strong> <strong>inside</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>him</strong> a <strong>piece</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>good</strong> <strong>news</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>good</strong> <strong>news</strong><br />
<strong>is</strong> that you don’t know that how great you can be… What you can<br />
accompl<strong>is</strong>h! And what your potential <strong>is</strong>!” - Anne Frank<br />
But to the students <strong>of</strong> JSSPS, 18 th May, 2013 dawned with the<br />
confidence <strong>of</strong> having achieved well on the momentous occasion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
school’s 2 nd Annual Prize Day Function. A huge wall outside the<br />
auditorium proudly d<strong>is</strong>played the names <strong>of</strong> the award winners in<br />
golden cups.<br />
<strong>The</strong> auditorium was filled with proud parents, eager students and the<br />
smiling teachers whose yearlong efforts have come to fruition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> day was presided by the august gathering <strong>of</strong> Mr Masanori<br />
Nagamini, the Principal <strong>of</strong> the Dubai Japanese School, Our Principal<br />
Mrs Chitra Sharma and our Headmaster Mr Paramjit Ahluwalia.<br />
A traditional start with both the Quran recital and the lighting <strong>of</strong> the<br />
lamp marked the beginning <strong>of</strong> a beautiful morning.<br />
In her welcome address, Principal Mrs Chitra Sharma stressed that<br />
‘JSSPS embodies an ethos that strives for excellence in all fields’. She<br />
welcomed our Chief Guest Mr Masanori Nagamini, an eminent<br />
speaker and an erudite scholar known for h<strong>is</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ion and dynamic<br />
leadership. She then welcomed our esteemed partners, the Parent<br />
Forum members and all the other parents, teachers and every one <strong>of</strong><br />
the prize winners, the stars <strong>of</strong> the day.
A v<strong>is</strong>ual journey <strong>of</strong> the year 2012 -13 was beautifully encapsulated in<br />
a pulsating 15 min video.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Guest <strong>of</strong> honour Mr Masanori Nagamini, in h<strong>is</strong> speech<br />

<strong>The</strong> pride <strong>of</strong> the day – the award winners then came forward to accept<br />
their rightful laurels from the Guest <strong>of</strong> Honour, Principal and<br />

As the l<strong>is</strong>t <strong>of</strong> achievers was a long one, the audience were kept<br />

students. Indeed the whole award ceremony shifted to a higher<br />
platform <strong>of</strong> deliverance.<br />
