AUGUST, 2021
A week-long celebration at school marked the 75th year of India's Independence.
The Juniors dedicated the week to a plethora of activities. The colours of the Trianga lit their world with joy and delight. Role plays, self-composed poems and patriotic songs filled their days encouraging them to understand the struggle for the country's independence.
Responsible citizenship was delved into by the Seniors. Discussions and debates revolved around why it was important to move beyond honouring and preserving this freedom.
Have we realised the dreams of our freedom fighters or is this an evolving journey ..... 'miles to go before we sleep'.
7th of August saw the current class 12 bid adieu to their seniors, the batch of 2020-2021. Keeping the current situation in mind, the students and teachers joined online to shower the outgoing batch with good wishes and luck.
The outgoing batch was infused with the school’s ideology of the power of one to be the change and induced to imbibe these words in their lives. On the auspicious occasion students fondly remembered our compassionate founder principal Ma’am Soni and her love for the children.
It was indeed a joyous and cheerful evening filled with laughter and tears of nostalgia!!

‘As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same’.
Our annual reverence to the inspiring life of Madiba, drew out a kaleidoscope of images from the life of Mandela, invoking a deep sense of wonderment for a man who walked in the steps of Gandhi and once again brought to our awareness - 'the power of non-violence’.
The trials of Mandela’s extraordinary life bring across to us his message – take action, inspire change.

At the International Workshop on Curricular Integration of SDG 4.7, students of grade VI interacted with Jeff Sachs, world-renowned professor of Economics & Senior UN advisor. They shared their survey findings from their recently concluded unit on Food, the disparity of nutrition in society. Their discovery that meals of the marginalised families were low on proteins and calcium prompted them to ask him –
“If everyone is equal then don't you think everyone needs the same nutrition”?
Our young inquiring minds look forward to being active members of this global revolution to create awareness and consciousness amongst the people of this world.
