Another Star In Srs’s Crown

Its a proud moment for SRS International School to learn that Sarthak Kaushik, a grade V student has won a gold and a silver medal in the National Karate Championship held at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi on  14^th April’15. The school hopes that he scales new heights in the future. “I will work harder and try to achieve more milestones like this. Learning karate has made me stronger on the inside as well as on the outside.”, said Sarthak. Wealth, power, fame and the blessings of physical beauty are all relatively unimportant if one does not possess good health. An individual owes it to himself and his family to constantly maintain and improve his health. Regardless of age, self defence always lures people to learn karate. Feeling safe is equivalent to feeling empowered. The school will work in its best capacity to take its students’ talents forward.
