“ What’s the world for you if you can’t make it up the way you want it?” – Toni Morrison

This year, Joyful January promises to fulfil our eager expectations of a delightful beginning with the much-awaited Literary Week 2024 from 15th to 19th January. As the Term II cyclic tests come to an end, we are ready to move beyond pre-defined knowledge domains and embark on a literary adventure that ignites curiosity and inspires exploration.

Our language departments are ready to unleash every DPSite’s literary spirit with this year’s theme ‘Readers to Leaders’.

The week promises a whirlwind of fun and insightful activities designed to ignite a love for language in every student. Our learners are ready to embark on a journey through words that will inspire, empower, and equip them with critical thinking skills for the dynamic digital age.

Here are some highlights of the week:

✨ Words Make the World: Literary Exhibition (Grades 6 to 8):
