Congratulations to Our First Grade X - Batch
During the ravages of the Pandemic and switching to Digital Online Learning, our First batch of 33 grade 10 students and tirelessteachers have done us proud.
Our children have shown exceptional resilience, grit and stamina to learn through new tools and in the most adverse and unforeseen of circumstances.
Our tireless teachers have navigated through their homes and work, been mother, brother, sister, guide and counselor to each child to keep the ship sailing on an even keel. Our grade 10 parents have battled with the adolescent temperaments, expectations, aspirations and family commitments to support and guide the children through these tumultuous times.
We congratulateevery single child who has crossed this milestone in their academic career today. Each one of them has worked to the best of their competency, capacity and ability. I am certain that the journey has been a learning one and rewarding in every way despite the turbulent times. The possibilities to learn in multiple ways have been enormous.

Independence Day 2021
Today, on the occasion of India's 75th Independence Day, most of us will be cherishing the idea and ideals of freedom even more, having had a taste of what a curb on basic freedom feels like in the last couple of months.
As we design the future, let us carry with us the same virtues that our leaders held so dear during the freedom struggle.
Together, let us strive towards an education and societal pradigm that gives us independance of thought, resolve and action.
Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad hoisted the National Flag on the school campus with few students, parents and faculty members. The event was also live for our children to witness the event from their respective homes. Here is a glimpse:https://youtu.be/9AnFm9NOa3U
School Tour of the Early Years spaces
South Block at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad, came alive with wonder, curiosity, greetings, chatter, play, questions, explorations when our youngest learners visited their school for the first time.
The students and their parents were invited to school in small groups and were taken for a tour of the Early Years spaces in South block.
Delighted to meet and interact with their HRT, the little ones spent time with them in their classrooms. Some sat on their chairs at the table and asked“हम activities कब करेगें?”while the others were busy observing the display boards and exploring their classrooms.
The children enjoyed themselves exploring the play area. Happy to be on the swings, slides, see-saws, a few of them even attempted to climb the rope ladders. The library had them settle into the bean bags while some identified the books with their parents. At the amphitheatre there was wonderful chatter and smiles as the children descended the stairs to be on the stage.
The parentsappreciated the school for organizing the visit and requested for such visits to be organized once a week or even once a month for a longer duration of time.
