It was an amazing experience for us. We learnt a lot of “NEW ZEALAND” that I admit,

we didn‟t know of before. Our next vacation is definitely going to be “New Zealand”

- V.R. Parmeswaran- father of Advait - K1-A

Japan clearly stole the show. It's by far the best I have seen. There was so much attention

to detail. The 5 year olds have gotten better and more comfortable speaking in front an

audience. Congratulations K2A!!

RBK international has always been a special day of the year where we celebrate our

cultural diversity. Students of all divisions participated and parents were warmly invited

by all the students and the staff of RBK. Lots of efforts are put up by the students,

parents and last but not the least all the teachers of RBK. Overall it has always been a

grand event every year.

'Really good efforts are taken by all and that made everything look so beautiful' - Mamta Patwardhan- Presha's mom -K2 C

The preparation for the International Day was as fun as the day itself! The way children

were learning about the country (Spain), their enthusiasm in the music, language, dance

etc. and specially in sharing all their learning at home was amazing. The day itself was

great - amazing hard work and creativity in the class. The constant performance kept all

engaged. The food was great as well all the charts, props, models etc. It's a good concept.

Thanks

The introduction of Greece was very specific and clearly presented by each child of the

class. The play conveyed the right story to depict the history of Lord Zeus.

The song was very entertaining. The kids enjoyed while they were singing.

The parade was the best with the hula hoop displayed. On the food counter it was just

apt with salad and dessert. It was a nice experience to visit Greece in class 3 A guided by

Ms. Priyanka Nair with the display of the children performance with confidence.

- Neha Dharmani (parent of Raghav Dharmani 3 A)

International day gives good insight to kids of the particular country including culture,

geography, etc. The efforts of the teachers and kids are commendable. The class was

very well decorated ,kids presented song, skit and dance perfectly. It was very well

coordinated. Overall very impressive!

- Dipali sheth (Ziya Sheth -3 B)

"Words cannot explain the efforts and dedication you all put forward to make this event a

great success. Congrats to all teachers and children who spent many days practicing and

making it happen. The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior

teacher demonstrates but the greatest teacher inspires. And the kids have truly been,

inspired."

TRINITY SPEECH & DRAMA EXAMINATION

O n 06 March 2015, I sat for the TRINITY SPEECH & DRAMA

EXAMINATION.

I was assessed on:-

A passage

A poem

An improvisation (topic given by the examiner)

Reading a book

Theory

Under the guidance of Ms Meenaa Sampat, I had organized myself to comment on:

A passage from a story: Little Women

A poem : Macavity the Mystery Cat

A book: Little Princess for reading

I had to make a file which included all the work I did during the preparations for this examination.

The best part of this examination was while preparing for it, I learnt about the different types of

pauses, why we need to pause and what role they play in our communication. I must say that I

enjoyed and also learnt a lot while preparing for this examination.

On the day of this examination, there were butterflies in my stomach! The examiner was an

amiable lady and helped to me relax during the examination. I discovered that I was no more

nervous in the process! I secured 87%! However, I will try my level best to achieve more in the

examinations in future!

F arewell. The most bittersweet word.

Everybody looks forward to moving on in life, yet it's sad to leave a place that makes up a huge part

of your life.

We had a farewell party for the graduating batch of grade 12.

It was on the 17th April 2015. It was amazing organising everything, It was absolutely overwhelming to

think of the word "Farewell" as it would mean saying goodbye. Thus, we put in our best efforts to make

this party a success as this was something even more special than usual. It felt great to see everybody enjoy

the music and food, even more amazing to see all the teachers and students so dressed up! We put up a

photo booth and had a special show of awards for grade 12. It was something unique and i guess that's what

our batch is about. we enjoy uniqueness more than anything. It also made me think about our own farewell.

how would it be? What will we do? How will we feel?

Only time will tell. Till then, wishing the batch of 2015 a heartfelt congratulations! You made it!

G raduation is one-day that everyone waits for but at the same time regret, as they don‟t have

the heart to leave. On the 17th of April the DP 2 students had their Graduation Day. It was a

very emotional day for all of us because it was time for them to leave school. But we the DP 1

students as well as the teachers put in a lot of effort to make this day memorable. It started off with

a prayer, which we had prepared and then the students were awarded with certificates. After the

certificates were awarded we performed a song called „I‟ll never walk alone‟ for the DP 2 students.

To make this event more enjoyable we made a video for the DP 2 students, which had a lot of

memories from the very beginning. When we played the video there were smiles on each of their

faces. Vikram performed for all of us for the last time and his performance was breathtaking. Soon

it was time for Vikram‟s speech. That was the moment where all of us got very emotional and

thought to ourselves about how much we are going to miss these guys. It‟s funny how all of us

have gotten so close to each other in such less time. After the entire ceremony ended all of us had a

photo session where the all the DP teachers along with the DP1 students clicked plenty of pictures

with the DP 2 students. This school is surely going to miss this batch as we have so many

wonderful memories with them.

T oday on 22nd April we the students of IBDP 1 had our final TOK Presentations. We had been

working on TOK since a while now and the presentation day had finally arrived. We all had

very different and interesting topics. Everyone did a very good job and the hard work was shown.

For our theory of knowledge presentation we had to first find out a real life situation and then

based on that form our knowledge question. We had to mention the areas of knowledge and ways

of knowing. Then we had to move forward explain the connection between our real life situation

and out knowledge question. Counter arguments had to be included as well. The end would be with

a conclusion and it had to be open ended. TOK holds one point in our final IB points and plays a

crucial role. It was a new experience for us all and we got to learn a lot. We developed better

understanding for how we know what we know.
