Post-Admission Orientation Session

New Parents of Foundation Year and Nursery for Academic Session 2023 - 24 were invited for a Post-Admission Orientation Session on December 7, 2022. It was aimed at building a shared understanding of our vision, values and establishing a lasting connect with the child's alma mater.

The orientation began by welcoming the new parents, presenting them a platform to interact with the Senior Leadership CEO - Col Gopal Karunakaran and Director Principal - Mrs Anju Wal.

An overview of the Shiv Nadar Foundation, its philosophy, and ethos were shared with them along with the journey from the inception to the newest upcoming campus of Shiv Nadar School at Chennai. During the Orientation we also shared with the parents what we do and how we do things at Shiv Nadar School.

Ms Bhagya Sinha - Head Parent Partnership shared the 'Parent Partnership program' with the parents, emphasizing on the strong connect and association between the school and the parents. At Shiv Nadar School, the parents are valued as ambassadors and spokespersons through a shared vision. This association is an endeavour to build a strong bond and support system which has been a testament to the founding principles of Shiv Nadar School.

From the Principal's Desk - July to October

Children learn and grow everyday. Different influences and experiences touch their lives and make them richer as people, in knowledge and skill set. The impressions of school life are indelible and most significant in their growing years.

As a School, we want to continue to build and fortify in our children universal values and skills that are the bedrock of our Educational design:

Critical Thinking
Creativity
Collaboration
Communication
Compassion
Citizenship

Namaste Deutschland

Our students participated in an event called Namaste Deutschland which took place in DPS Gurgaon in collaboration with Goethe Institue, New Delhi. Around 75 schools participated in various events and competitions. Our school put up an exhibition stall on the theme of "All about German breads", Knock-out Basketball competition and other learning by doing workshops.

Aanya Bhatia, Grade-8, won the 1st prize in Knock-out Basketball competition. Veer Mehndiratta, Grade-8, participated too and did really well.

Advik Bhanwala, Rishabh Burman, Avik Agarwal, Abeer Bhandari, Samar Raj Sharma put up an exhibition stall in DPS Gurgaon on the theme "All about German Breads". The exhibition stall was a huge success. Our students put efforts in preparation of the content. Abeer baked 3 kinds of German breads (not to forget that this idea was his own to bake the breads) Bauernbrot, Seed bread and Stollen. Abeer, Samar, Samrat and Mehak participated in other workshops on Drama and Informative sessions.

Many colleagues from the German fraternity came and personally shared with me that our students are well mannered and have high values, their content is well researched and they are very welcoming too. They prepared a rhyme impromptu to welcome people to their stall. I feel honoured to share that our stall had a massive footfall. Students and teachers from the Shiv Nadar Gurgaon visited our stall too. Students from other schools enjoyed the games prepared by our students and of course, the bread. Ms. Puneet Kaur, Head of Educational Services came twice to see our students present and appreciated their work and Ms. Veronika Taranzinskaja, Project Head South Asia Goethe Institute told the students that she tasted a slice of German culture at our stall and told Abeer that he should have his own bakery in Germany one day.

Night - In - Grades 3 to 5

Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad organized a Night-In for the students of grades 3 to 5 on 4th November 2022 in a safe and protected environment. Through exposure to such experiences, our children are able to develop life skills, build stamina, endurance and a sense of independence, while exploring various activities.

For this batch, it was the first sleepover in school and everyone was filled with high levels of energy and enthusiasm.

On 4th, children had their regular classes till 3 pm, after which they participated in some fun-filled activities such as Sports, paper crafts, dance, fun games etc. For grade 3 students, as a part of their current EVS theme, ‘Solar System’, we had planned a sky gazing activity which was led by the ‘WE the Wonder Explorers’ team.

Amidst the activities, children got to enjoy sumptuous snacks and dinner. Moving to the South block with our luggage on school buses and sleeping in the classrooms there was a different experience altogether. Children were comforted throughout by the presence of teachers, didis and admin staff. Despite exhaustion, they merrily spent some ‘Me Time’ in the rooms, playing board games with their friends and sharing stories with each other.

The morning was a cool and pleasant one. We all woke up with big smiles and devoured some alloo paranthas and milk followed by a group photograph.

Our young learners took stock of their belongings and packed their bags independently before they were handed over to their guardians.

It was indeed an extremely fulfilling and memorable experience for students and teachers alike. The bonds they have been able to build with each other and teachers will be cherished forever !!
