From vibrant fruit and vegetable stalls to delicious dry sweets and savory snacks, the students took charge of their own mini-businesses—setting prices, pitching sales, and even calculating their profits. Parents, teachers, and even the little ones from the Pre-Primary section joined in as enthusiastic buyers, making the event a lively and interactive learning experience! 

Objectives of Market Day: 

1) Teach students financial basics like budgeting, pricing & profit calculation.
