Teachers Day Celebration
A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.
Every year, India celebrates Teacher’s Day on 5th September to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, an Indian politician, philosopher, and statesman who was born on this day in 1888. He served as the second president of India from 1962 to 1967. When Dr. Radhakrishnan’s students sought his permission to celebrate his birthday, he instead, requested them to observe it as Teacher's Day to acknowledge the invaluable contribution made by teachers to the society. Ever since then, 5th September has been celebrated as Teacher's Day.
Teacher's Day was celebrated with great merriment and jubilation. The school fondly remembered the contribution made by its founder Sir Shri Jayendrabhai Shah to the field of education. The Principal, Ms Neeta Sharma, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the teachers on their special day and advised the students to respect and obey the teachers.

X to XII, not only taught Brightians various subjects, they also conducted quiz sessions and made them play games.
Hindi Diwas
“हिन्दी हमारी पहचान है, हमारी संस्कृति और आत्मा की आवाज़ है।”
हिंदी दिवस हर वर्ष 14 सितम्बर को मनाया जाता है। यह वह दिन है जब 1949 में हिंदी को भारत की राजभाषा के रूप में अपनाया गया था। यह दिवस हमें हमारी भाषाई धरोहर को सुरक्षित रखने और राष्ट्रीय पहचान पर गर्व क रने की प्रेरणा देता है। ब्राइट डे स्कूल ने 13 सितम्बर 2025 को हिंदी दिवस बड़ी उत्साह और गर्व के साथ मनाया। इस विशेष अवसर पर हमने अपनी राष्ट्रीय भाषा हिंदी की समृद्धि, सुंदरता और सांस्कृतिक महत्व का उत्सव मनाया। हम मानते हैं कि भाषा केवल संवाद का माध्यम नहीं है, बल्कि यह हमारी धरोहर और पहचान की संवाहक है। हिंदी को बढ़ावा देने और सम्मानित करने के लिए विद्यार्थियों ने उत्साहपूर्वक विभिन्न गतिविधियों में भाग लिया, जैसे विज्ञापन लेखन, नारा लेखन (पर्यावरण और हिंदी दिवस), विभिन्न विषयों पर संवाद, दोहा गायन और विज्ञापन प्रस्तुति। इन गतिविधियों ने विद्यार्थियों की रचनात्मकता, अभिव्यक्ति, आत्मविश्वास और हिंदी भाषा के प्रति प्रेम को उजागर किया। आइए हम सभी अपनी मातृभाषा पर गर्व करें और इसकी अमूल्य धरोहर को सहेजते और आगे बढ़ाते रहें। “हिंदी केवल एक भाषा नहीं, बल्कि हमारी संस्कृति और आत्मा का प्रतिबिंब है।”

The nine divine forms include-Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skanda Mata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri and Siddhidatri. In Gujarat, the festival is celebrated with great fervour. People worship the goddess by placing her idol in the centre and playing 'Garba' (a traditional folk dance) around the Goddess with great reverence, devotion and joy. This festival falls in Ashwini Shukla Paksha, according to the Hindu calendar. This year Navratri commenced on 22nd September and will end on 1st October.
