Dear Parent,  

February was a month of celebrating student learning across all segments of school through Open Days, Personal Project Exhibitions, experiential learning outings and sports activities.

The Early and Primary years segment celebrated their Sports Fest this month. There was also an interschool Swimming fest with participation from eight schools. Besides sports, primary students participated in PMUN which helped them connect with global issues, become aware and develop their leadership skills of creativity, critical thinking and communication. PYP students are now gearing themselves to showcase their learning journey in PYP exhibition and Student Led Conference

We are a nation of languages and the pride and love for our mother tongue was evident on  Matrubhasha Utsav celebrated on International Day of Mother Language.  Students read stories and poems in their mother tongue to celebrate and appreciate diversity .

 The MYP students displayed their projects on the MYP Open Day which essentially was a showcase for the skills that students acquire as the ideate, create and communicate their knowledge in myriad ways. Another key event for MYP was Community Project Exhibition which showcased student connect with needs of the community and their ability to identify innovative ways to support them.  

DP2 students are working towards their final examinations in the month of May while CBSE grade 10 & 12 students are busy with their board exams. As we are a CBSE exam centre for approximately 1000 students it is a time for managing the community both academically as well as administratively.

With your support we will continue to excel in all spheres of responsibility.
