The first-ever Offline edition of Triton 2022, a unique two-day
interschool fest organised by the student council team of Ekya School ITPL, saw a
tremendous response. Triton 2022 is a debut Interschool Fest hosted by Ekya school ITPL. It
was organised to bring schools together, provide new opportunities to the students and
showcase their talents in academic and non-academic activities. Multiple schools acclaimed
this event as the competitions held here were innovative and future-oriented. Triton 2022
was inaugurated by Ms Jyothi Menon, Head of School, Ekya ITPL.
This event witnessed participation from 22 schools across Bangalore, with more than 200
students registering for various competitions starting from Treble Cleff (Solo Indian, Solo
Western and Group music competitions) to Du Coeur (Poetry Competition) etc. However,
the highlights of the two-day event was the inter-school contest called PITCH Please,
inspired by Shark Tank, Aqeuorial, and Fashion Event – the theme of which was Sea and
water as the name of the event TRITON refers to ‘God of the Seas’ and Neighborhood
Picasso, an Art event of Triton. The event also featured an art competition, where students
represented their emotions with ink. The two-day event concluded with Footloose (dance
competition), followed by the band ‘Ace of Spades’ performance during the grand finale.
Ace of Spades was the icing on the cake. They performed great foot-tapping numbers, and
the students thoroughly enjoyed it.
Speaking about Triton 2021, Dr Tristha Ramamurthy, Founder & Managing Director of
Ekya Schools and Provost CMR University, said, “It is a very proud moment for the
institution. I am overwhelmed by the event’s success, especially because the entire event
was curated and executed by students. At Ekya, we always encourage and support our
students to do something unique which makes them future-ready. Employing the latest
