National Talent Search Examination
This workshop is being conducted by our teachers for the benefit of the stu-
dents of Class X who wish to appear in NTSE 2015.
Western Dance Workshop
A western dance workshop comprising of 10 sessions was conducted by Mr. Tarun Barot for students of Classes VI –
X. It was enjoyed immensely by stu-dents who have a passion for dancing.
India’s leading career counsellors, Perveen Malhotra and Zubin Malhotra
conducted a seminar to enlighten the senior students about the various ca-reer options available in the present
times. They highlighted the fact, that in the present times, there are more ca-reers than anyone can think of …. the
catch lies in finding one’s passion in life. Once this is achieved, the related
career will find itself!
To give a platform to the students of
Class VI who have just joined the senior school, an inter-class Poetry Competi-
tion was held. All the poems were taken from the newly compiled book, ‘Enjoying Poetry’. It was a pleasure to
watch all the students recite the poems collectively on stage. Stress was on cor-rect pronunciation, correct posture and
of course, team work!
Class VI B stood first, with Class VI F and VI G in the second and third posi-
tions respectively.

CLUBS
To further augment the learning pro-
cess and help students develop their in-terests and skills, the Students’ Council
has taken the initiative to introduce five clubs in school:- The General Knowledge Club The Literary Club
The Model United Nations Club The Development Service Club The Photography Club
While coming to school by bus, stu-dents used to notice a lot of garbage in
a vacant plot in the vicinity of the school. Instead of just complaining and waiting for the ‘authorities‘ to do some-
thing, they decided it was time for AC-TION.
Led by the Students Council and armed with gloves and bags, students decided
to go there and pick up every piece of litter that they could find on the plot.
Volunteers from the Development Ser-
vice Club have since revisited the plot to
ensure that it remains clean!
Students of Classes IX - XII are working
with the Helen Keller Centre for the vis-ually challenged children. Groups of
students visit the centre every week and conduct English classes, teach them poems and songs.
The school organized an educational trip to the United States. A perfect blend of fun and learning, the students
visited the MIT and Harvard campuses. The robotics workshop at MIT and thea-
tre workshop at Broadway were mind-boggling.
Visiting Disney, Niagra Falls, NASA, New
York, Boston and Orlando
was indeed a dream come true.
To quote the students, ‘It was the most amazing trip of my life. Each moment
was packed with fun and learning.’

19 students visited Bresscia, Italy, for a period of two weeks under the AFS Class exchange programme. They at-
tended classes at Liceo Internazionale Per L’impresa Guido Carli. The host families went all out to make them feel
at home in a foreign country. The high-light of the trip was a visit to Milan and

sons learnt during this short stint in It-aly.
