Bringing glory to the institution, two of
our proud Narayanites performed exceptionally well at the National
Level Karate Championship and achieved top positions in the
competition.
Gagana, a talented student from Class 8 at Narayana Olympiad School,
Bangalore, showcased her prowess in Karate at the 26th Shitoryu
Karate Do National Championship. Competing in the age category of 13
to 14, Gagana displayed noteworthy skills, dedication, and
perseverance, securing the prestigious 1st place for her remarkable
performance.
In a similar vein, Narayanite S. G. Priyadharshini, a class VI
student from Narayana e-Techno School, Madurai, showcased her
prowess in Defendo-Karate at the National Level Championship.
Competing in the under-12 category, she secured 2nd place,
demonstrating her skill and determination and leaving everyone
spellbound.
The accomplishments of our students are a testament to the overall
development that our schools support and facilitate for all
students. We provide an environment that fosters not only academic
excellence but also encourages students to excel in extracurricular
activities. Our dedicated faculty members work tirelessly to
identify the unique talents in each student and guide them towards
achieving their goals. Knowing the value of sports, we support our
students to participate in sports activities that help build
character, leadership skills, and team spirit, which are essential
life skills for an individual.
Talking about this proud moment, Ms. P. Sharani, Director, Narayana
Educational Institutions, said, “We’re so proud and happy to see our
students perform tremendously well in sports at the national level
while balancing their studies at the same time. I would like to
extend hearty congratulations to the students, their parents, and
our faculty too, who constantly back them to reach their maximum
potential”.
In their pursuit of excellence, Gagana and Priyadharshini’s teachers
offered unwavering support and motivated them to pursue their goals.
The schools made sure that the students didn’t lag on the academic
front while they were dedicating a major chunk of their time
preparing for their respective contests. For the same reason, the
teachers ensured that they gave them personalised attention to
resolve any doubts that they may have. Sharing her experiences,
Priyadharshini said, "Being an all-round student is very important.
From my teachers to my principal, everyone encouraged me to
concentrate on my goal while also helping me complete my studies on
time". "Because of this, I have become more confident and stronger,
and I have realised that I can do anything I set my mind to", she
added.
Talking about her achievement, Gagana said, "I have newfound
confidence, and everyone calls me Karate Kid now because of my
achievement". "All thanks to my teachers who made the concepts so
clear in class that I didn’t have to worry about my exams. They gave
me slip tests every day so that my subjects were thoroughly revised
during school hours, and I could completely focus on my sport after
school", she added while crediting her teachers.
We are incredibly proud of Gagana and Priyadharshini’s achievements
and hope their success will inspire other students to pursue their
passions with dedication and determination. Their achievements stand
as a shining example of the heights Narayana students can reach when
given the right support, guidance, and opportunities.
