The memory wall

Some moments
never graduate.

From familiar campus corners to days spent learning and serving together—every photograph carries a voice, a nickname and a story waiting to be retold.

Alumni voices

“Once a JNVian,
always at home.”

We arrived from different villages and left as one family. Even now, the school prayer can take me straight back to morning assembly.

A few things to know

Before you
pack your bags.

Can I bring my family?+

Yes—families and children are warmly welcome. Please include your guest count while registering so we can plan meals and seating.

How can I share old photographs?+

Email your scanned photographs with batch year, names and a short caption to jnvpbralumini@gmail.com. Please avoid upscaling old images—their original grain is part of the memory.

What should I wear?+

Come comfortable. A ruby, navy or traditional touch is encouraged for the evening gathering; the final dress note will follow.
