Sunity Academy did it again

No classes were held in Sunity Academy in Cooch Behar on 31 May. The students of this prestigious girls’ school were found in a jubilant mood when they were coming out of the school soon after prayer and roll call. The day was like a festive one in this school that was founded by Maharani Sunity Devi in 1881. The mentionworthy success of Ushasi Bhaumik was the reason behind all these. Ushasi secured the second position (794) in this year’s Madhyamik examination in this state. When she appeared at the school premises for collecting her mark-sheet, the joyous girls almost gheraoed her. The teachers blessed her when she offered pranam to them.

Mrs Bhupali Roy, headmistress of Sunity Academy, said eighty-six girls appeared in the Madhyamik examination from her school this year. Out of seventy-three first division scorers fifty-three candidates got star marks and eight were placed in second division. Seventeen candidates secured above 700 marks, she said. Mrs Roy said Arpita Pal had secured third position (first among girls) in the Higher Secondary examination last year. Earlier, Tanushri Nath had secured first position and Smita Routh second position among girls in Higher Secondary examination in 2001. Tanushri Nath also got the eighth position in the Madhyamik examination in 1999.
