Student Council Elections: Democracy in Action

Lucknow, June 28, 2025 - The air was charged with excitement and anticipation as Lucknow Public School (LPS) hosted its much-awaited annual Inter-House Quiz Championship 2025. The intellectually stimulating event took place in the school’s multipurpose auditorium, which was buzzing with energy from students, teachers, and parents, all gathered to witness the thrilling face-off between the four competing houses—Tagore, Raman, Vivekananda, and Bose.

This flagship knowledge event at LPS has become a tradition that not only celebrates academic excellence but also fosters quick thinking, teamwork, and presence of mind among students. This year’s edition was a grander affair, thoughtfully curated around a diverse range of topics that challenged even the sharpest minds.

The quiz championship commenced with an inspiring welcome address by Principal Mrs. Anjali Srivastava, who emphasized the importance of holistic education and how such events ignite curiosity and promote a love for learning beyond textbooks. “A quiz is more than just questions and answers,” she said. “It’s a celebration of knowledge, confidence, and collaboration. Today, we are here to recognize our thinkers and changemakers.”

The competition saw participation from students of Grades VI to XII, who were grouped into junior and senior teams representing each house. The preliminary rounds were conducted earlier in June, where over 120 students appeared for a written screening. The top 4 teams per category advanced to the grand finale held on Saturday.
