Young Artist from Faculty Higher Secondary School, North Guwahati Shines at National Level!

We are proud to share that Dhanushka Bakal of Class VIII, has received an Encouragement Award in the National Level Painting Competition on “Climate Action” organized by the National Museum of Natural History, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India.

About the Painting
Dhanushka's artwork presents a powerful contrast between two possible futures of our planet. The left side depicts environmental degradation caused by industrial pollution, deforestation, water scarcity, and careless waste disposal. In stark contrast, the right side showcases a thriving ecosystem with lush forests, clean rivers, wildlife, blooming flowers, and sustainable practices.
The painting highlights the role of human action in shaping the environment. The central imagery of hands planting a sapling and conserving water symbolizes hope, responsibility, and collective action. Children cleaning their surroundings and choosing eco-friendly transport reinforce the message that small individual efforts can lead to significant environmental change.

Through her thoughtful composition and vibrant use of colours, Dhanushka beautifully conveys that the choice between destruction and sustainability lies in our hands. Her artwork serves as an inspiring call for climate action and environmental stewardship.

Congratulations to Dhanushka Bakal on this remarkable achievement and for making Assam and our school proud on the national stage!

📜 Decoding History: A Journey Into the Past!

The students of Faculty Higher Secondary School recently attended the “Decoding the Scripts” workshop at The Assam Royal Global University, diving deep into the fascinating world of ancient heritage. 🏛️🪙
It was an immersive day of hands-on discovery, where our young historians explored:
• Numismatics: Uncovering stories hidden in ancient coins.
• Coin Minting: Learning the craft behind historical currency.
• Brahmi Script: Deciphering one of India’s oldest writing systems. ✍️✨
From analyzing ancient symbols to understanding our ancestors’ economic heartbeat, our students returned with a profound connection to our roots.

It is often observed that, despite knowing what is necessary for our own protection, we tend to overlook the simplest safety measures. Reflectors, though small and easily available, play an immensely crucial role in ensuring the safety of cyclists on the road. However, they are frequently ignored, leaving individuals vulnerable and unknowingly placing their lives at risk. Keeping this in mind, we, the students of Faculty Higher Secondary School in association with American Field Services ( AFS) undertook a small and meaningful initiative. A team of nine students, guided by two teacher coordinators, visited IIT Guwahati to spread awareness about road safety. Through this campaign, we reached out to people directly, helping them understand the significance of visibility while cycling, especially during low-light conditions. As part of our effort, we installed reflectors on the bicycles of five pedestrians, taking a simple but impactful step toward enhancing their safety. Though modest and trivial in scale, the campaign was carried out with sincerity, leaving us with the hope that even the smallest actions can contribute to a safer and more responsible community.
