Gunning for Perfection:
A Narrative of a Journey to the Nationals
by Devyani Kawale (VIII-D)
Pune, Maharashtra
I am Devyani Ashish Kawale studying in VIII-D. I have been an avid pistol shooter since August 2021. I was 11 years back then. Both my parents have been sportspersons and state champions. Both my father and mother would play kabaddi, and so I imbibed that interest in sports from them right from an early age.
If you ask how did my passion for shooting form, here it is: My father once took me the kabaddi mat where he used to practice. Right beside it was a shooting range, and so I asked my dad if we could try it out. He enrolled me for a seven-day course.
Doing that basic course set the foundation of my interest in the sport. I practiced the basic rifle for a year and participated in few local matches, Although I won a bronze, it was a major step towards my passion and goal.
They have always been supportive of my passion for shooting, and since I wanted to develop on my skill, they helped me change academies so as to practice with more advanced weapons and courses; I also was interested in learning how to shoot the pistol because it is relatively more compact, and way easier to learn and handle than a rifle.
I again changed academies to level-up my skill. I had a great support system: my family, friends, my teachers in school; and my coaches. And with this support I participated regional-level championships, state-level; pre-national; and finally national-level competitions. As of now, I am a national player, and have participated in over ten championships; and one national competition.
I am really lucky to have got such supportive parents; friends; my principal, vice principal and teachers at school; and my coaches who have helped me reach a place where I can make my nation proud.
Thank you!
Ready, Steady, Skate!

Vihaan Sharma Selected in the Maharashtra State U-14 Cricket Team
Pune, Maharashtra | January 2024
Vihaan Sharma of Grade IX was selected to participate in the U14 Maharashtra Cricket Team at the State Level. His proud parents have sent us their testimony:
“Currently in Grade IX, Vihaan Sharma joined S.B. Patil Public School from Grade I, and this year 2023-24, he was selected for the Maharashtra State U-14 Cricket Team
Behind this success is four years of hard work and effort. He would practice for almost 6-7 hours daily. Every day, he would wake up at 05:00am, head for practice at 05:45 am; return home at 07:45 am; and quickly get ready for school.
He would return from school by 02:50 pm, and again leave for pra ctice around 2:50 pm at Varroc Cricket Academy at 03:30 pm; and return by 7:30 pm, or sometimes even 08:00pm. It is following this practice and schedule that he is finally now representing Maharashtra in the State U-14 Cricket Team and S.B. Patil Public School.
As proud parents, we really want to thank to S.B. Patil family, especially principal madam, Dr. Bindu Saini; the sports teacher, Mr. Chandrakant sir; all the individual teachers; the supporting staff; and to all the students,
This is your success! It is because of your contribution and help and mentoring that this year he made it in the Maharashtra State Team; and is currently in playing at Rajkot Gujarat. We really appreciate your energy, blessings and support without this wouldn't be possible. Thank you!” – Vihaan’s parents.
We once again congratulate Vihaan for this exemplary win; and hope that others will be inspired by this level of dedication and hard work.
With the Spirit of Sportsmanship:

Scoring High at the HAS Handball Game
Pune, Maharashtra | 30th August, 2023
by Tripura Math (X-B)
I am Tripura Math of Grade X and a member of S.B. Patil Public School’s handball team.
Recently, we had participated in The League matches organised by the Hindustan Antibiotics School, Pimpri-Chinchwad at their campus. The experience was remarkable and full of learning.
Our team comprised of a total of eight members: Jaskirat Basan, Mahika Rege, Arya Bhoite, Hina Choudhary, Siddhi Vedpathak, Swanandi Taware and I. In spite of countless of practice matches, we didn’t have a comfortable gain. Indeed, we had to put in lot of effort to pave our way towards wining.
Our finals were really very tough. At one point, we almost had lost hopes of winning the match but the overall team support, our motivation, and the most important of all, our coach, Mr. Shrikant Deshpande sir’s dedication towards us and his teachings led us to the victory by winning the first prize.
We won but apart from winning, we have gained and learned a lot more, especially from our mistakes. Upcoming next are the ZP matches. We are looking forward to correct all our mistakes and arrive at the match grounds way stronger.
