On 6 October 2026, 28 students of Classes VII to IX  of St. Cecilia's Public School visited the National Science Centre, Delhi, to participate in the International Geodiversity Day Programme – “Geodiversity on Our Doorstep.”The programme provided students with an engaging opportunity to explore geological heritage, prehistoric life and the importance of conserving our natural heritage.

The event began with the inaugural programme, followed by an exclusive screening of the documentary “Dinosaurs of Narmada Valley.” The documentary introduced students to India’s prehistoric past and the significance of its geological heritage.

Students enthusiastically participated in the Drawing Competition on “Prehistoric Life” and the Quiz Competition on “Conservation of Natural Heritage”. Their enthusiasm, creativity and knowledge were highly appreciated, and the students brought pride to the school by winning awards in both competitions.

During the visit, students also explored various exhibits at the National Science Centre, including the Prehistoric Art Gallery. A major attraction was the Animatronic Models, featuring 35 species from different geological eras, including towering dinosaurs, giant scorpions and early mammals.

The students further experienced the Immersive Zones, which recreated prehistoric environments through volcano replicas, representations of glaciations and realistic sound effects. These exhibits made the concepts of geological history and prehistoric life more interactive and memorable.

Students expressed gratitude to Madam Principal for consistently providing them with enriching opportunities that broaden their horizons and nurture their potential.

The visit was a highly enriching and memorable educational experience. The International Geodiversity Day Programme – “Geodiversity on Our Doorstep” successfully combined scientific learning, exploration, creativity and competition. The students returned with greater awareness of India’s geological heritage, prehistoric life and the importance of conserving our natural heritage, along with the proud achievement of winning awards in both competitions.
