The students embarked on a bus safari to Bela Lake, immersing themselves in the serene beauty of Goa’s forests and experiencing its rich natural heritage. The visit also included an engaging tour of the butterfly garden, offering the students an opportunity to discover the fascinating world of butterflies.
Adding a creative touch to the day, the students participated in a fun leaf painting activity, expressing their imagination and appreciation for nature through art.
