MI-me ‘Multiple Intelligences and me – Apotheosis’ 2023

In every soul, a kaleidoscope of intelligences,
unique and vibrant, with their own essences,
no single measure can define the human mind,
for brilliance in its many forms we find
so let us celebrate this diversity,
embrace the gifts that make us truly free!

The annual event of Suncity School, ‘Multiple Intelligences and me’, which focuses on the Multiple Intelligences that each child possesses, was held on Friday, 24th November, 2023. It was the vision of the school Director, Mrs. Rupa Chakravarty which helped conceptualize this novel event.

This event gives children a platform to create, communicate, collaborate and be compassionate as they deliberate all aspects of life. The competition had an array of specially designed activities, based on the eight intelligences, that each participant participated in, to emerge the ‘MI-me’ champion.
