Jashn 2.0 – Parents’ Synergy | Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad
Jashn 2.0 – Parents’ Synergy, held on 21st December 2025 at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, was a warm and meaningful celebration, organised as part of the Parent Partnership Office initiative, where parents, students, teachers, and the entire Faridabad school community came together to celebrate the spirit of partnership that defines the school. The event offered an opportunity to acknowledge the time, talent, and commitment parents have brought into the school through the Parent Collectives over the course of the year.
What began as small interest-based groups gradually evolved into spaces of connection, learning, and shared ownership. The Readers’, Creative, Theatre, and Music Collectives, along with Parents’ Trident – Reflection, each contributed in distinct ways to the cultural and reflective life of the school. In parallel, the Sports Collective sustained strong momentum through a series of parent-led sporting engagements—beginning with table tennis, followed by badminton, and culminating in the cricket tournament that concluded earlier in December. Together, these initiatives strengthened bonds among parents while deepening connections across students, teachers, and families.
Jashn 2.0 served as a confluence of these collective journeys. The afternoon featured a lively dance performance by students of Grade 5, which added energy and cheer to the celebration and was met with enthusiastic applause. This was followed by an engaging flash mob by teachers, a delightful surprise that brought smiles across the campus and reinforced the sense of joy and togetherness that the event embodied.
The Theatre Collective presented “PTM – A Battlefield”, an original and relatable performance that brought humour and insight to familiar parent–school moments. The Music Collective showcased an ensemble built through months of shared practice, reflecting joy, confidence, and collaboration. The Creative Collective hosted a Gallery Walk featuring parent artwork that expressed personal stories, experimentation, and the comfort of creating together. The Readers’ Collective curated a welcoming Book Exchange, inviting families to browse, exchange, and pass forward the joy of reading. The afternoon also marked the launch of Parents’ Trident – Reflection, Volume 10, capturing voices and reflections from across the parent community.
The campus came alive with interactive stalls, community activities, and a dedicated Kids’ Corner, ensuring an engaging experience for all age groups. Children participated in a wide range of creative and hands-on activities, while parents and teachers spent time connecting informally across the campus. Over 40 food and merchandise stalls added to the festive atmosphere, creating a relaxed winter afternoon for families and friends.
The celebration concluded with a soulful Qawwali performance by the Nizami Brothers, bringing the entire community together in a shared moment of music and reflection.
Jashn 2.0 stood as a reminder that when parents, students, and educators come together with shared intent, a school becomes a thriving community—rooted in trust, creativity, and connection at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad.
