KISA, or the Karnataka ICSE Schools Association, is an organisation of schools
within Karnataka affiliated with CISCE. Every year, KISA organises KISA Utsav,
a state-level event with several different competitions, clearing which students
compete at the national level.
In 2022, Sophia High School sent 16 participants to KISA Utsav, which was
conducted in Christ Academy, Bangalore. There were 4 participants in the
sub-junior category, 5 in the junior category and 7 in the senior category. The
students partook in various competitions including Debate, Declamation, Quiz,
Creative Writing and Painting. Of these, Sophia High School won awards in four
of the events.
Painting: Senior Category
1st: Joanna Joseph 12 Sc
Painting: Junior Category
2nd: Sahana N. 9A
Creative Writing: Senior Category
2nd: Thea Kurien 12 Com
Declamation: Senior Category
3rd: Sanvi Patil 12 Arts
The event exposed students to a high level of competition from some of the
finest young talents in Karnataka. Being able to attend an event like it, especially
offline after two years in a lockdown, was a true learning experience for all the
students.
The support from the school, the teachers and Sister Alpana was also key to
making the experience a success and their faith and encouragement cannot be
left unthanked.
