SBA has been providing the environment for the overall development of students. The Grand Finale of SBA’s Got Talent – the splash of talent and creativity – made the campus abuzz with colour and fun by showcasing their talents. The students of VI and above enthralled the audience with their exceptional performances in Instrumental Music, Singing, Beat boxing, Magic Show, Rubik’s Cube, Mimicry, Stand-up comedy and the release of the introduction of the Tamil short film ‘Neruppuda’. The disciplined efforts of the precious pearls of SBA received a lot of appreciation and applause from the guests as well as the Management.

The Talent Expo was followed with a session by the international emcee and reputed motivational speaker, Mr. Sajan Zachariah Varghese. Mr. Varghese highlighted the shortcomings of Usain Bolt, Colonel Sanders (KFC) and Sir Winston Churchill and encouraged the students to overcome the negatives in their lives by following their passion and chasing their dreams with efforts. He shared his own personal experience of how he was a failure when he was 23 years old and how he became a world champion within a decade. Students seemed inspired to follow his advice to take up subjects they were really interested in.

It was a day remembering a leader who, in his quiet but determined way, laid the foundation to convert a nascent nation into a world power. Children enjoyed themselves on that day.
