True as Steel. This phrase means a lot to those who have been associated with this great House, ‘TATA’. The most important thing which separates Tata House boys
from the rest of the School is the spirit with which they face challenges, the spirit of camaraderie, the spirit of caring, the spirit of belongingness, the spirit of fighting like a warrior and getting up every time they fall, with the same force and energy which describes a true sportsman and a warrior. The year started with the appointments of the new Prefectorial team. Avanindra Singh was appointed as the House Captain and Sagar Karnawat, Sumaer Sandhu and Vikram Kejriwal were appointed as the School Prefects. Like in the past, this year has also brought laurels for the House. Our warriors have excelled in almost every field. Their performance on and off the field has been commendable. Boys have done very well in sports, co curricular activities, Music, Social Service, Exchange, etc. The House got first position in Boxing- seniors as well as juniors, first position in Chess- seniors as well as juniors, first in juniors Debating, first in junior Athletics, second in Cricket seniors, second in Hockey seniors as well as juniors, second in Soccer seniors as well as juniors, second in Athletics seniors as well as mediums, second in Swimming mediums, second in Basketball seniors, second in juniors PT and also second in seniors Debating. This year we hosted exchange students, Michael Van Zyl from Bridgehouse, Vishal Tulsiani from St. Edward’s and Tristram Coates from Eton College. The year gone by was also very special for us because Tata House celebrated its 75th year with a bang. Old Boys, led by Mr Gurmeet Singh, Mr Donny Singh and Mr Sameer Dhingra, put up a fabulous show during the 75th Year Celebrations. It was in the summer holidays that my predecessor Mr Harendra Chakhaiyar left for his new assignment and I took over the House. It was a challenge to step into the shoes of someone who kept the welfare of his House and boys above his own family. I want to thank Mr Chakhiayar for all the hard work and tireless effort he put into the House. I wish him all success in his new assignment as the Principal of G. D. Goenka International School, Surat. In the month of November Mr Ashish Dean, Physics Master at School, joined us as the new Assistant Housemaster. I wish Mr. Dean a fruitful and very successful tenure in Tata House. It is my duty to mention our House Dame, Mrs Ranjit Kaur. She has been a mother away from home for these boys. She is the first person they see in the morning and also the first one they approach late in the night for help. Mrs Kaur’s efforts in the smooth running of the House cannot be explained in words. We are all indebted to her for all her support and care. The tutors of the House have been a great support throughout the year. I have no hesitation in saying that our tutors are putting in tireless effort in grooming these young and energetic warriors into true gentlemen and true Tata House boys. I have always found them standing by me and the boys in every hour of need. Thank you all for all that you are doing. Last, but by no means the least, I want to appreciate all the boys of the House.They all have made me proud as the Housemaster of this great House. They have all put in a great effort in making this year a memorable one for the House. I want to tell all my boys that as Housemaster I am proud of them and I can say with great belief that our House will move from strength to strength and touch greater heights in the years to come. - Mr Skand Bali
