Education has the power to modify the society and present better knowledge to its populace.

At the end it was nicely quoted by the students “the little things we can do makes a big difference. At least do not ruin the life of those trees, depending on whom we live.”

It is that time of year again where we wake up early, all happy and cheerful, anxious for the day to start —“ The First Day of School ” The start of a new session is always a time filled with enthusiasm and excitement.

The activities proved to be a great learning and a creative experience for the children.

A wise man once said, “After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” To give wings to a child’s imagination and taking them to places beyond the boundaries of our physical world and into the land of fairies, dragons and wishing trees, story narration proves to be the most idealistic technique for students of all ages. Weaving the skills of creativity, poise, confidence, and imagination, GGHS conducted an on the spot Story Telling activity for all the students on February 27, 2019. The students were asked to gather things from a room and create their own story. The students made effective use of their imagination, gesture and voice modulation. The activity proved to be a great adhesive to connect to like-minded characters or see the world literally from within someone else’s skin.

Beauty is the realm of poetry, children enjoy the beauty of expression, thoughts, feeling, rhyme, rhythm and music of words.  Taking all these facts into consideration, GGHS organised an Inter House Poetry competition on May 8, 2019.  The children got an opportunity to exhibit their talent and confidence. The competition inspired the children to come forward and recite on stage. The Primary students came up with the different poems on the topic Mother/Our Helpers. The participants from all the respective four houses – Emery, Lillian, Ivan and Ellis left no stone unturned to win for their house. Students were judged on parameters like confidence, voice modulation, the props used and on the overall presentation. Among all the houses, Ram Raj Sachdev of Class III(Ivan) secured the first position, Ashwin of class III (Emrey) bagged 2nd position and Shreya Gautam of class I (Lillian) secured 3rd position. The Vice Principal of the school Ms. Bhavna Chibber appreciated and applauded the performance of the participants and motivated them for being a mascot of glory to the school.

A health checkup camp was organized by Gurugram Global Heights School on May 15, 2019 for all the students. Renowned Dr. Arun Duggal, Pediatrics and Neonatology specialist along with his team from Metro Hospital, Gurugram conducted this camp. Its main purpose was to maintain good health in students. A health record was maintained for each student. After medical checkup a descriptive report for individual student was provided. This helps parents in understanding the health of their ward. The School authorities and teachers were impressed by the professionalism of the doctors and appreciated and thanked them for their valuable service to the students.

“When teaching and learning are visible, there is a greater likelihood of students reaching higher levels of achievement.” John Hattie

Gurugram Global Heights School firmly believes that one becomes a truly great teacher, by going beyond the textbook. To develop a deep insight of learning, the faculty of the school Ms. Bharti Dhoundiyal and Ms. Rekha attended a two days’ workshop on “Making Learning Visible” and “Using technology to support Visual Learning Strategies” at Sri Venkateshwara International School, Dwarka on June 20 and 21, 2019. The Boot Camp was conducted by Mahattattva. The overall goal of the workshop was to create and sustain powerful cultures of learning in and across classrooms and schools that nurture and make visible individual and group learning. The resource person, Ms. Usha Pathania, Ms. Mitsu and Ms. Deepti Sawhney transferred the strategies to make learning visible in the classroom to the future educationist from different schools across Delhi NCR.

The Boot Camp came out to be a great collaborative learning experience and provided the necessary mentorship for aspiring educational leaders to excel in the classroom and beyond.
