Author's Visit - Kevin Missal
It is said that “A child who reads is an adult who thinks”. Reading stimulates our imagination and expands our understanding of the world. For this reason, We at Shiv Nadar School believe in giving our children an opportunity to meet, greet and intearact with authors who have made a mark for themselves by following their passion. Keeping the tradition of author’s visit alive, We inivited Mr. Kevin Missal , author of national best selling Kalki Trilogy , for Grades 5, 6 and 7 on 29th July , 2022.
It was an interactive session full of questions soaring the curiosity of our students . The students exhibited great enthusiasm , spirit and spark to learn from the journey of this fantastic, young author. The senior school library , where the meet took place , brimmed with the voices of the students eager to share their keen interest in the process of writing . Two of his most famous books , were on display for children to purchase. The students were enthusiastic to get their copies signed by the author as a mark of memory . Our library incharge , SK Riajuddin , felicitated the author with a token of respect .
English Extempore Speech Competition – Middle School – SNS Faridabad
Ready-made speech is a dead lion, extempore speech is a live cat. The latter connects you with the audience, the former distracts their attention.
– Rm Shanmugam Chettiar
To uphold the value of student voice and foster in learners the courage to speak their minds, SNS Faridabad organised an English extempore speech competition for the middle school. The event was graced by the Director Principal Anju Wal and Ms Deblina, the Head of International Curriculum (SNS Noida). Held in Wild Cats Hall on 20 July 2022 from 10:00 AM onwards, the event comprised one participant from each section across grades 6 to 8, speaking on a myriad of topics given to them half an hour before the competition. Coming to the stage without any formal preparation or memorised speech did not impede the contestants who were all brimming with contrarian and novel ideas. The students had to test their opinions and awareness of topics relevant to their lived realities, to which each participant had both interesting and inspiring responses.
Ms Deblina, the panel of judges and Ms Anju Wal were invited to share their views on the event. While Ms Deblina emphasised on the importance of the courage to think outside the box to arrive at creative responses to ideas, our Director Principal, Ms Anju Wal commended the participants on their presentation skills. Thereafter, the results were announced; these were as follows:
Grade 6: Yug Banga (6 Corbett)
Grade 7: Gunnika Khurana (7 Gir)
Grade 8: Zoya Mirani (8 Kanha)
In one of his lectures, Ralph Waldo Emerson had proclaimed, “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.” At SNS Faridabad, participants from the middle school left the audience and the judges awed with their ability to persuade, convert, compel and motivate, setting high standards for consequent extempore competitions.
Welcome Back to School!
The beginning of the session, April 4th, 2022 was no less than a Red Letter Day. The School revived full scale operations after two disruptive, fundamentally different and defining years in Education.
The children returned to school in full numbers. Cutting across age and grade barriers, they all had one thing in common. The deep desire to be on campus, to learn, play, and experience real time impressions and real spaces. I am certain the parents matched their enthusiasm and optimism.
The eight weeks before the Summer Break have been intense and momentous. To re-fuel the school engine, revive school processes, practices and student engagement has been a labour of love.

Strategic Leadership for Schools in a Changing Environment (SLSCE)
Strategic Leadership for Schools in a Changing Environment (SLSCE)
Venue: IIM Ahmadabad
Dates: June 13 – 17, 2022
Attendees from SNSF: Shilpa Khadse, Preeti Gautam, Neha Jain
Overview: The SLSCE program at IIMA for school leaders was an exhaustive week long learning experience covering a breadth of areas under the purview of school management and Leadership. The emphasis on Leadership was not by undermining the Managerial role. The significance of maintaining a fine balance of both hats was brought out beautifully. Knowing one’s limits is as important as overcoming self-limiting beliefs. And to overcome these, it is important to explicitly recognize one’s core beliefs and limiting beliefs.
The role of school leaders has transformed massively over time and it is all the more important to blend the head, heart and the mind to be able to bring in the innovation essential for transforming the educational experience of the learners.
