Dear Parents and Students,

As we come to the end of another academic session, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the deeper purpose of education and the role it plays in our children’s lives.  

At our school, we believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge and skills but about nurturing the whole person. We believe that education should help our students develop their intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual capacities, so they can become well-rounded individuals who are equipped to make a positive contribution to society.  

Our teachers have worked hard to create an environment where our students can thrive, where they are encouraged to think critically, communicate effectively, and develop a lifelong love of learning. We are proud of the progress that our students have made, and we are confident that they are well-prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.  

We have spent the past few months preparing for the new academic session, and I am confident that we are ready to provide our students with an excellent educational experience. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure that they are fully equipped to teach and inspire our students, and our facilities have been upgraded to provide a safe and conducive learning environment. 

As we move into the next phase of our students’ education, I encourage you to continue to support them as they embark on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Education is a lifelong process, and our goal is to instill a love of learning that will last a lifetime.  

Thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children, and I look forward to continuing to work with you as we strive to provide them with the best possible education.

I hope you enjoy going through the monthly Newsletter highlights for the month!

Regards

Suman Kalra

End of Session Celebration: Picnic and No Bag Day!

The celebrations of the picnic and no bag day on the last day of the session were a huge success in Early Years and Primary Years! Students from all backgrounds came together to enjoy a day of fun, food, and sustainable living.

Our garden and soccer field was filled with the aroma of delicious homemade snacks, and the grass was dotted with colorful blankets. Overall, the picnic and no bag day were a wonderful way to end the session and create lasting memories with classmates. 

Preparing Students for a Globalized World: The Role of Cultural Diversity in Education 

In today’s interconnected world, it is essential for students to understand different cultures, customs, and beliefs. We believe that cultural diversity plays a crucial role in preparing students for a globalized world, and we strive to create a culturally diverse learning environment that enriches the learning experience for all students.
