Book Fair

‘Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you keep; for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as the latter.’

Orchids highlights the benefits of reading books by organizing USSR (Uninterrupted Self Sustained Reading) week periodically to enhance students’ reading skills. Each student of every class gets engaged in reading during a specified time during the week.

As one of the attempts to promote reading habit among students, the school organized a book exhibition which was inaugurated by the Principal Mrs.Mona Mehdi, who herself is a voracious reader. She encouraged the students to take up reading as a hobby. The fair would last for 3 days.
