From 2015, the school has started hosting Labyrinth-Bitwiz,[7] a cultural and technology fest for the schools in Kochi. This was also held in the year 2016.
Even though the events were a grand success, and showed extensive participation, due to the management's decision, the Labyrinth-Bitwiz fest was suspended after two years since its inception. This was replaced with Sahitheeyam,[8] a literary fest held on a much smaller scale, and a narrower field of competitions.
School magazine
The School publishes an annual magazine entitled 'Darpan'. This Magazine is given to every student and contains the achievements of the school in the year, and also acts as a medium for young writers and poets to publish their stories and poems in Malayalam, Sanskrit, English and Hindi.
