Visit of His Excellency Justin Pierre James Trudeau,the Canadian Prime Minister

The excitement at Modern School was palpable on the beautiful balmy winter morning of 22nd February, 2018. The excitement of students and staff was at the pinnacle. The day was going down to be permanently etched in the golden history of Modern School.

The occasion was special! The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Pierre James Trudeau, along with his children- Ella Grace, Xavier and Hadrien and a delegation of ministers was visiting Modern School to witness the Boys’ Team Vs Girls’ Team Cricket Match of the students.

The esteemed guests on the occasion included, Mr Ashok Pratap Singh, President Board of Trustees, Modern Schools, Ms Ambika Pant, Secretary, Board of Trustees, Principal Dr Vijay Datta, Members of the Board of Trustees and legendary cricketers Mr Kapil Dev and Mr Azharuddin.

The ground was an amazing spectacle of a sea of Indo-Canadian flags being waved by the students. The Prime Minister, especially reciprocated the zeal exhibited by students with a walk down the barricades by personally greeting the students and the staff.

PM Trudeau, was highly appreciative of the organised event. After his departure, Mr Kapil Dev and Mr Azharuddin played a match with the Principal, staff and the students. They also shared some insightful tips and trivia about the game.

The inspiring words by the stalwart cricketers truly motivated one and all. It was truly a day to remember.
