SPARK SPEAK | STRONG MINDS, SAFE CHOICES

Every strong mind begins with a safe choice.

A powerful and meaningful Spark Speak session unfolded at our School empowering our students to understand that strength begins with the choices we make.

Our students of Grades 9–12 had the opportunity to interact with Dr. Devika Rani, International Certified Addiction Therapist, in an insightful session focused on building resilience, making mindful decisions and navigating the challenges faced by young minds.

The session encouraged students to pause, reflect, think critically and make choices that protect their well-being and shape a brighter tomorrow.

Learning Literacy through Fun & Action!

Students of Kindergarten 2 are building their literacy skills through engaging, hands-on activities. They identified phonic sounds from pictures, said the corresponding sounds, and brought them to life with actions.

They also spotted familiar sight words in reading sheets, strengthening word recognition and early reading confidence. Learning becomes more meaningful when children see, say, move, and read.

Learning Numeracy through Hands-On Fun!

Students in Kindergarten 1 explored early numeracy concepts through engaging activities such as the spike abacus, colour sequencing, and size seriation.

These activities helped children develop counting skills, recognise patterns, sequence colours, and arrange objects by size while learning through play and exploration.

Stepping Into History!

Students of Grade 6 travelled back in time on their enriching field trip to Chowmahalla Palace, exploring its magnificent architecture, fascinating heritage, and glimpses of Hyderabad’s royal past.

A day of discovery, curiosity, and learning beyond the classroom!

Where words found a voice, imagination took flight, and hope took centre stage!

FOLKLORE – 2026 CIE and IB Literary Fest

A vibrant celebration of myths, legends, folktales, languages, cultures and storytelling traditions from around the world, brought alive by our students through literature, poetry, music, drama and dance.

From the timeless English folk legends and French traditions to the rich storytelling heritage of Hindi and Telugu, and the colourful spirit of Spanish culture, our students journeyed across cultures and generations, bringing cherished stories and traditions to life on stage.

At the heart of FOLKLORE 2026 was also the essence of our IB and Cambridge learning journey nurturing confident communication, creative expression, collaboration and the courage to find and share one’s voice.

Through performances, recitations, presentations and storytelling, our young learners stepped into the spotlight, celebrating heritage while expressing their own creativity and imagination.
