St. Lawrence’s initiative was a symbolic gesture by bringing together more than 2,000 students, teachers, staff and alumni to hold white cards, the Peace through Sport symbol. The purpose of the initiative was to help the children learn the essence of maintaining a perfect balance of studies and sports but also help them learn the important traits of sportsmanship, tolerance and mostly peaceful coexistence. 

We also educated our students on the history behind celebration of IDSDP on April 6th and Olympic Day on June 23. Olympic values and its importance was also promoted during the event. 
 

On that day, the logo of ‘Expression 2017’ was released. ‘Expression 2017’ was an international painting competition organized by St. Lawrence High School, in association with their alumni St. Lawrence Old Boys’ Association (SLOBA) and it took place on Olympic Day, Friday, 23 June 2017. 'Expression 2017' was supported by International Olympic Committee (IOC) and various other national and international organisation. It was covered in Olympic Channel.
