Jul 3, 2024 by Shiv Nadar SchoolCongratulations on the Excellent IGCSE Grade 10 results
We are proud and delighted to share the incredible results of our second batch of IGCSE Grade 10 students in the March 2024 exam series. The outstanding performance is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our students, teachers, and school leaders.
Our School Topper is Ms. Ivana Gossain, who achieved 7 A*/A grades. We are immensely proud of her accomplishment!
100% of students passed with Merit and above, qualifying for the Cambridge ICE award. 36% of our students scored a distinction.
Out of the 17 students who appeared for the exam:
- 16 students appeared for 8 subjects.
- 1 student appeared for 9 subjects.
These results reflect the sustained and consistent efforts of our students and the unwavering support from our teachers and school leaders.
The final leg of the examination ended in May 2024 (for German, Drama, and Additional Math), and those results will be declared on August 13, 2024.
Our holistic and well-rounded education system at Shiv Nadar School is designed to create a balance that is critical for our students to stay the course. We aim to build thinking students who become the finest communicators, problem solvers, and individuals with international-mindedness and creative prowess.
The goal of our school is certainly academic excellence, but it’s not the only goal. We aim to instill in our students universal values and timeless qualities such as resilience, integrity, commitment, kindness, gratitude, and respect. These values are built through lived experiences and impressions of a Shiv Nadar School life.
If our students remain lifelong learners and carry a sense of joy in everything they do, we believe our vision is translated in each one of them.
We balance multiple boards, and the equilibrium between IB, IGCSE, and CBSE is key to learning and skill-building in our school.

Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Brown Team Wins Silver Medal in Ethics Olympiad
The Brown team of Shiv Nadar School Faridabad won a Silver medal in the first round of the Ethics Olympiad, marking the second consecutive year they have achieved this feat. This was the second time our school participated in The Ethics Olympiad and won the Silver medal for the second time. The team is preparing for the final round in July and we have high hopes of winning that too.
Ethics Olympiad provides schools and universities with a unique opportunity to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. It is designed to get students thinking and ultimately working together on some of the tough moral issues of our time. Our objective is to do more than just help them think through ethical issues: It provides a positive and constructive space to think through ethical issues together, as fellow citizens in a complex moral and political community.
The students (Eth-letes) are trained by a coach (usually a teacher) as they prepare for an Ethics Olympiad. Age-appropriate and interesting ethical cases are released each year, and these are provided to coaches before the event. We use Zoom to bring the teams together on the day, so all you need is access to the internet.
Senior High School Olympiads (15-18 years old) are held in May each year, and Middle School Ethics Olympiads (12-14 years old) are conducted in November. Junior School Ethics Olympiads (9-12 years old) are held in June and September. In 2023, the Australian Association of Practical and Applied Ethics will host the AAPAE Tertiary Ethics Olympiad (for university students) in October.
Parent Representative Group Orientation AY 2024-25
At Shiv Nadar School, we believe in fostering a close collaboration with our parent community through our Parent Partnership Programme. One key initiative under this programme is the Parent Representative Group (PRG). This group embodies our commitment to building strong bonds and a robust support system, reflecting the core values upon which our school was founded.
The PRG serves as an active partner with the school, contributing collective and creative insights into school practices, learning programs, and the broader educational environment, ensuring the best interests of each child are upheld.
As we commence the new academic session for the year 2024-2025, we have welcomed and oriented our new PRG members. This orientation session provides a valuable opportunity for these representatives to connect with one another and with the wider school community, strengthening this vital partnership.
Celebrating the Joy of Summer!
During the final week before the summer break, a variety of activities were organized to celebrate the impending vacation. From making refreshing lemonade and Tang to frolicking in the cool spray of water sprinklers, learners indulged in moments of pure summer joy. An ice cream treat was savored, followed by a relaxing movie session that provided a perfect respite from the hot summer season.
The Kindergartners were amazed after attending a storytelling session by Ms. Nupur Aggarwal. Highly acclaimed for her ability to captivate audiences of all ages with her imaginative narratives and engaging storytelling style, Ms. Aggarwal truly enchanted our students. A special assembly on the story 'फल चले पिकनिक मनाने’ enacted by teachers added a touch of storytelling magic, capturing the essence of summer adventures.
Crafting sessions infused creativity into the atmosphere, as learners embraced the spirit of the season with summer-themed crafts. These activities not only provided entertainment but also fostered a sense of togetherness and anticipation for the upcoming break.
We were delighted to see our young learners start their summer break on a joyful note!
