The success of Yashitha Ramapujari and Jazz Williams in getting selected as the rapporteurs and Nidhi Sanapala as student journalist at the NAE UNICEF Global summit filled our hearts and souls with exhilaration. We are proud to see them in the leading positions at the summit.

I thank every parent for attending our Pre Primary grades Coffee Evening that were conducted in the past weeks.

Inter House Visual Arts Competition

Art is not what you see, it is what others make you see

Our students are challenged to get imaginative in art media of their choice for inter house Visual Arts competition on the theme “Wildlife.”

They say the Universe is made up of Stories..

It was wonderful to look at our Tiny Tots dress up as their favourite character and narrate stories.

In fact, storytelling plays a critical part in a child’s overall development. Whether it be a  moral story or any other form, storytelling offers several advantages to children.

When children themselves are the one to narrate a story it has more impact on them. It develops their creativity and boosts their confidence. It makes them imagine being in the place of the story’s characters which develops their empathy as they try to comprehend their actions.

Inter House Drama Competition

Art in any form is always motivating and brings out creativity in a child.

To look at our students performing flawlessly on themes like Child Labour, Patriotism, Technology and its impact  was a visual treat to witness.

Eat Well.. Live Well..

 

A healthy outside starts from the healthy inside.

Nutrition for children helps them establish a foundation for healthy eating habits . A healthy diet throughout life promotes healthy outcomes, supports normal growth and development in the child.

Our grade 3 students turned into chefs as they learn about the importance of nutritious food and made paneer salad for their friends and teachers.

Peer to Peer Learning

Peer-to-peer learning  has been an integral part of a student’s learning journey in the educational set up. The dynamic learning experience offered by peer-to-peer interactions is an integral element in fostering better academic performances.

Our IBDP 2 students shared their knowledge about the SCHEMA theory and its application. This practise helps students understand the concept better and becomes a source of encouragement which motivates them to push boundaries and take up challenges.

Change your habits. Stop using plastic.

 

IBDP  students in accordance with the GVMC initiative Say No To Plastic took a step ahead in environment conservation by making a dustbin out of used plastic bottles. By doing so our young environment activists contribute to increasing the resilience of ecosystems and help minimize climate change effects.
