Kirtan Darbar 2022
Well done to all the students who took part in this year's Kirtan Darbar which took place on the 6th of August. From SSSEC, 3 jathas took part and sung shabads in the following raags: Raag Sorath, Raag Bihaaghra and Raag Vadhans. Each jatha first introduced the shabad in both Punjabi and English, followed by the shaan, manglacharan and then shabad with taans and alaaps. It was great to see so many of our students playing Sikh heritage instruments so well done. Everyone did very well especially with only 2 weeks of practice!

We are very proud of all the students who took part in this year's speech competition on the 15th of March.

A huge thank you to all the judges, stage coordinators, time keepers and sewadaars without whom the smooth running of this programme would not have been possible. Once again, well done to everyone who took part as the feedback was very positive and we hope for an even greater turnout next year!

We enjoyed a range of fantastic, thought-provoking presentations covering Sikh history, philosophy, poetry, and Gurbani Kirtan by each Punjabi and Kirtan class, based on the theme of equality (ਬਰਾਬਰਤਾ). Everyone also enjoyed some lovely langar made by a team of volunteers from BAA Security staff who were busy with preparations from 5am!

The Sikh Missionary Camp was from the 29th of July to the 4th of August. During this period, the students enjoyed a wide range of activities, such as learning gatka and karate, engaging in talks and discussions, learning and playing badminton and having a movie night, in which they watched the film, 'The Rise of Khalsa'. Students were also able to learn basic life support and CPR. Overall, it was a very enjoyable, interactive and educational experience.

Summer Programme 2018
This year, our Summer Programme was held on the 8th of July, in which we heard all of the classes perform pieces in Punjabi. The subject of each piece varied, from learning about fruits and vegetables with Naveen Paniri and Class One, to listening to poems told by our GCSE classes. Additionally, we were treated to beautiful shabads by our Kirtan classes. It was a pleasing end of the year in which our Punjabi GCSE and A-Level students received excellent results in their exams!
