An elated Mrs. Rupa Chakravarty, Principal, Suncity School said ?Quality is not an act but a habit. And we have imbibed that in our students by constantly walking the talk and showing them through role models what is quality. If we want them to have quality then we have to show them quality. This convention was a good platform to showcase that what quality means and help them benchmark themselves.?

Mrs. Vineeta Kamran, Principal and Executive Director, World Council for Total Quality and Excellence in Education (WCTQEE) said, ?I knew the convention is going to be good but that good it surpassed City Montessori, Lucknow; I never imagined. Everything went so smoothly in each event but what impressed me the most is the time management. This is the one of the best conferences I?ve been to and the only one to become international due to the participation from Mauritius. Suncity has set a benchmark for us.?

Highlight of the event was the finale of Suncity Quality quiz conducted by Mr. Siddharth Basu. The grand finale and the prize distribution ceremony were also held.

Mr. Sugata Mitra gave the key note address in the convention. He spoke about his experiment ?Hole in the wall?. Speaking about the event, he said ?It was a very impressive event, and it was really hard to believe that it was managed by the students and the faculty not a professional agency. Suncity is shaping these young minds in a very powerful and responsible manner, I am glad that I could witness these abilities of the students who participated in this convention. I wish them success in their life?
