Grade 5 - Field Trip to Haria Food products
They observed the process and production of toffees,
packaging, storing and how it is transported. They
asked questions related to all the factors related to
economic activity. It was a very enriching learning
experience for them. They were able to relate all that
they had learned in the classroom, with the real
world, which was the factory. They were assessed on
the questionnaire ,after they returned from the trip,
in order to check their interpretation, understanding
and retention of all that they observed. They enjoyed
it immensely.
Grade five visited the Haria Food Products factory on Friday 28th August, as part of the
UOI economic activity. The children carried a questionnaire based on the factory.

t is said, “Fortune favors the bold” and
this saying holds true. For, on the 27
Aug 2015, my classmates and I and took a
daring leap from the wooden chair of failure
to the golden throne of success. It took quite a
few fatigue-filled weeks to organize this grand
programme. It was a golden opportunity for
me to test my patience because the
excitement was overwhelming. I was hardly
able to contain myself for the big day.
A few days prior to the programme, we started filling
up the class room with charts and decorative objects.
We plastered the walls with drapes and colorful
duppattas. We hung streamers on the entrance to the
room which fluttered in the morning air. We arranged
the chairs and tables and were elegantly arranged for
the event. We sent out invites to teachers, the
coordinator, the vice principal and the principal.

MYP W e from Grade 8 had organized a French Carnival to raise funds for Service as Action. Our
main aim was to showcase France. We had two food stalls and a section for the monuments in France.
One was Patisserie (cake shop) and the other one was Boulangerie (Bakery). We also had a lot of
French branded products on display. From home we brought a variety of cakes and brought from
home different types of breads. We sold them for reasonable prices to the teachers and students of the
school. Our Vice Principal, Ms. Sagareeka Bhatia guided us throughout and helped us organize this
event. Overall, this was a great learning and enjoyable
experience.

for us because we got to communicate in French with our ‘customers’ we had many shops, Pancakes,

GO YHACKATHON
W e students from Grades 6 to 10 gathered in the auditorium for a high energy format called Yhackathon! All of us were curious and excited to know about what this event was aimed at. After a brief introduction by Yhackathon team, we understood that being enterprising is a way of life and can be applied in any sphere of life or occupation. We were segregated into teams and had to solve puzzles in a particular time limit and earn Yupees (the currency of this program). We found this really interesting and would want to participate in the other sessions as well!
We had been given an opportunity which allowed us to put our thinking caps for teamwork. The very interesting aspect of the activity was that it was teaching us about business at the same time. The next step in this journey is to sign up for YHub and enjoy developing Business Sense with Social Consciousness by creating our own simulated companies and exciting products or services. I hope to put my business skills to use in real life. - SRIYA SRIVASTAVA

FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is one great treasure
it can go to an extent where you cannot measure.
A relationship like this denies silly promises and persuasion,
and they're the few people who accept silence over a conversation.
I have a comrade who helps me all the time,
Sorry; he won't be yours because he is mine!
Friendship is rare
so, please take care...
My friend always keeps my secrets,
whether they are good or bad.
I will always trust him and make sure he is glad!
I pity, if you don't have a friend like mine.
I promise myself that our friendship will always shine!

MYP-IBDP Then, Mr. Duke Getonto, handed over to the mike to
Ms.Meera Rangarajan, In charge- Service as Action to
welcome, Ms Veera Rao, Director, ALERT INDIA and
her team. She explained about ALERT INDIA
(Association for Leprosy Education, Rehabilitation
and Treatment-India) a voluntary charitable
organization, which started its work over 3 decades
ago with a vision to eradicate leprosy from our
country.
This age old disease still lingers around in our cities and villages largely due to
ignorance and social myths that add to the fear and stigma that surround leprosy. One
of ALERT-INDIA's missions is to improve scientific knowledge and bring concepts of
quality and sustainability as guiding principles to national leprosy control efforts.
Our Management Representative,
Dr Arundhati Hoskeri called upon
Ms Veera Rao, Director of ALERT
INDIA on stage. Ms Veera thanked
us all for our kindness and said that
a short movie that was to be shown
would speak enough about ALERT
INDIA and its work!
From her talk we understood that leprosy is caused by mycobacterium leprae bacillius and is largely due to
poverty and ignorance. We even came to know that INDIA shares 58% of the Global Leprosy Buren in 2012- WHO
(World Health Organization). In the short movie, celebrities and doctors gave us detailed information about the
disease and how can it be cured. “This is one challenge I cannot take on alone… Join the ALERT campaign
against Leprosy. “Do not fear leprosy- treat it”-Sachin Tendulkar.

Month 2015-16
We clapped for the commendable work this organization is doing for the people affected with leprosy! In fact, we agreed that leprosy is only a myth and can be cured if detected early! Prevention is better than cure!
Dr. Arundhati Hoskeri presented Dr. Veera Rao with a thank you card exclusively designed by Ms. Kadambari Koli Tandel, our art faculty and Home Remedies, a book which has been authored by Dr Arundhathi Hoskeri herself. The ALERT INDIA team members distributed ALERT INDIA leaflets to all of us.
Our Vice Principal Ms. Sagareeka Bhatia proposed the vote of thanks. Overall, it was a very informative assembly and we went back with the truth that, a Healthy lifestyle is important! This is indeed a day to be remembered, and forever!

On 27 Aug 2015, students from Grade
10 and DP 1 went to M/s., Maldar Barrels Private
Limited in Panvel, marked for a factory visit. We were
escorted by Mr. Santhosh Mandare and Ms. Shivangi
Hoshing. This was an opportunity for us to see the functions
of a factory while also witnessing a number of processes on
how barrels and drums are
MYP-IBDP
VISIT TO MALDAR BARRELS PRIVATE LIMITED
We first had a small meeting with Mr. Haresh Dharmani,
the owner, who briefed us about the factory and the
manufacturing process. He also provided us their office
documents, which spoke volumes about his company. This
gave us an idea of the company’s paperwork and how legal
documents for a private limited company are important. We
learned about the steps for making barrels and were told
about the clients and their orders.
There are not many steps to make the barrels; nevertheless it
is a very interesting process. The steps are listed below.
1. Metal sheets are cut into the required length for making
the barrels.
2. They are taken into the rolling machine and rolled into
the shape of cylinder.
3. They are the ends are glued together into form a shape of
a cylinder.
4. Then it is taken to the cleaning sector, and a chemical is
rubbed all over the barrel.
5. Then, these barrels are taken to the painting department.
6. The last step is to seal the barrels according to the type of
material they contain.

From this visit, we got a very practical approach
to real documentation, working and management of a
business. We learnt about the company act of 1956, ISO
marking, CRISIL rating, quality assurance and so on. We thank
our teachers who guided us through the entire trip. Also, we thank
Mr. Haresh Dharmani and his team for the hospitality.
We look forward in earnest for such trips.

O n Saturday August 29th, 2015, the TOK department took part in a TOK teachers’ meeting hosted
by the Bombay International School, Mumbai. The meeting was attended by teachers and senior staff
from various international schools in Maharashtra. The Keynote speaker at the meeting was
Justice Gautam Patel who spoke about Truth and Justice and how he applies TOK concepts in his work.
This was a very enlightening session and our teachers gained valuable insight from it. There was also an
interactive session in which participants shared best practices from their schools. The professional skills
and contacts thus established will lay the basis for future collaboration and resource exchange to boost
delivery of the subject at our school.
