Commonwealth Day celebrated in the MYP library

Past should not be forgotten as a rule and rich harvests of educational and economic

advantages may be reaped, if links with the posterity can be preserved. Nothing can be truer in

this context than the formation and continued functioning of "Commonwealth of Nations”. Countries and

territories freed from the British governance continued to remain united as sovereign states but closely

cooperating in fields of education, human rights, sports and economic progress under the flag of

"Commonwealth of Nations" and 15th March each year is celebrated in all the Commonwealth countries the

world all over. To increase the awareness of the children of the children and promote the concepts of mutual

cooperation, Commonwealth Day was celebrated in MYP library. Students of grade 6 and 7A participated and

researched on the topic which included details of its member countries, motto, origin and purpose, and its

future. A quiz was also organized in which all the children participated and shared the information found with

their friends to answer maximum questions individually. It was fun and learning at the same time.

International School Awards

O n 10 March, 2016, Grade 9 students embarked on a trip to The lively, educative

Film City, Goregaon where we visited the shooting sets of Udaan, a daily soap that is aired

on Colors T.V. En route, we chirruped our excitement into lively chatter as we made our way by bus. Once

we jumped out in eager joy, we met our guide, Mr. Anil who showed us the way to the beautiful set, where we

met the beautiful Meera Deosthale, who stars as Chakor, the heroine of Udaan! We learned that the sets are

created with plaster, metal bits and wood material. We met the creative Director, Mr. Choksey who graciously

and patiently answered all our queries and also took us around. We also met Sai Ballal, who plays Kamal

Narayan Rajvanshi or, Bhaiyaji, the main villain of the story. We met actors who play other main characters. We

took photographs with them. A few of us took autographs. We also saw Chakor’s family home and witnessed a

live shooting!

We were exceptionally behaved in a way that, as a treat, we were taken to Starbucks! I insisted that my

Frappuccino should be with soy milk as, soy milk is delicious. We returned to school that very day with

overjoyed smiles and mind refreshed. We enjoyed the trip very much and thank our teachers for taking us

there. We wish for similar trips in the future.

Greek Mythology Script Writing Assignment

O n 11 March, 2016, students of Grade 9 performed plays improvised from Greek

mythological stories. We were put into groups of 5 each and each group chose a different

story or part of a story to form their script. We worked hard for a week and chose a story, then turned it

into a script. We later decided on roles for each of us. We practiced our lines and actions before the fateful day.

This process took a few weeks, as we were hindered by a few events on weekdays and weekends.

On our day of judgement, we fell into a few issues here and there as some of our members were absent. We still

managed to perform it in front of our fellow classmates. The stories were so fascinating and exciting as each of

them had mega wars, Gods and superheroes and beautiful ladies as characters. Every character we represented

had unique and individualistic personalities. Like, how helpless Danae suffered in her bronze prison for years,

how winter was a result of Demeter being separated from her daughter and how a plan was devised between

soldiers. The activity was fun and creative at the same time. We enjoyed it greatly and wish for similar activities

in the future also.

Fun with Food fiesta - Grade 6 & 8

T he Food Fiesta was not an easy programme to arrange. There was a lot of buzz and

excitement surrounding it. We went through weeks of planning. Despite this, we ran helter

skelter at the eleventh hour, organizing and making the activity perfect.

Our class made over Rs. 7000 in total. We divided ourselves into three groups, each group focusing on cuisines

from one region. So, we had Italian, Mexican and Indian cuisines on display. We sold our food and made

profits. We also had a counter that sold bead jewellery. Though we were skeptical of the sale here, all the

pieces of jewellery were sold out in less than an hour’s time. We gave away the entire proceeds to charity. We

bargained and jostled with the buyers, only to gain in friendship and trust. This became our CAS activity as well.

Every part of this activity, from selection of the cuisine and the menu to the cost and the posters, required a lot

of creativity and imagination and brought out the best in us. I had lots of fun and I look forward to next year’s

Food Fiesta

An informative and entertaining morning assembly program!

Students from Grade 7 hosted the weekly school assembly on 15 Mar 2016. Our grade

thoroughly enjoyed the skits that were coherent and caught our attention. The way the teachers had

trained the student-actors was truly remarkable. The video was also different and on how lethargic people

in today's world are was an eye opener too! After the presentation, our Vice Principal Ms. Sagareeka Bhatia

explained the importance of DRY HOLI CELEBRATIONS to us and its pressing need this year. I am sure that all of

us have grown more conscious on saving water for the coming years. We pledge to save water!

Our Grade 7 seniors’ assembly program had a string of messages for us! They had many topics focusing on

global warming, water shortage and greenhouse gasses.

At the beginning, they took off with a skit on global warming and then presented another one on bullying,

school rules & regulations. This was followed by one more skit where a woodcutter only thought of cutting down

trees for business. Some others made him understand the usefulness of tress in their role in helping in the war

against global warming.

They concluded their assembly program by singing “We’re not gonna take it”.

Thank you for such an informative and entertaining morning assembly program!

Graduation 2016

G raduation Day is, in simple words, the day of graduating or receiving an

academic degree upon completion of one's studies. However, for our DP2 students it

was a day when they bid farewell to the teachers who molded them and shaped them into the individuals

they are today. It was a day they let go of the strong grip on the friendly bonds made with their classmates.

Graduating high school is one of the fondest memories, a teenager can gather. Our students accomplished this

on 11th March, 2016. The day started out with the DP 1’s scattering around the auditorium with final touches

and last minute add-ons as they bid farewell to their lovable role models, who were more like friends.

The students started to enter, all decked up, looking suave and dignified. Parents, wearing a proud smile, started

to occupy the first row to be as close as possible.

The ceremony started with the students walking in adorned with their graduation caps and gowns. Accompanied

by their homeroom teachers, Rashmi Ma’am and Shivangi Ma’am, the graduating students walk in to the rhythm

of the music. They walked elegantly amongst the commotion of cheers and claps and occupied their seat.

To send the graduating students for a walk down memory lane, they were shown a special video made by their

juniors. This lead to a few tears streaming down the student’s faces.

We soon realized, the tears become a permanent feature on every one’s face. Dristi and Mardav reminisced

every memory shared in their speeches, reminding everyone about the fond memories shared. The day ended

with the graduating students walking solemnly towards the center, elegantly garbed in their robes and tassels

and tossed their caps off, towards a new beginning.

for their parent’s warm embrace and test their wings.
