The brainstorming meeting of some select volunteers of Coonoor based alumni and a couple of out station alumni took place at Coonoor on 10 November 2018 followed by a meeting with the Principal on 07 December 2018. This is for the 160th Anniversary of the School and Alumni Reunion. The proposal for holding the meet has got the blessings of the Principal. A nucleus and an adhc Committee have been identified.

Since the entire event would be on a self finance mode, we look at our alumni participating both in physical as well as monetary terms.

Once the finalised program is ready, the same would be on the school official website along with links for registration.

What would be our scores this month? Do we see our missing bloggers coming back from Facebook, WhatsApp etc?
