focused on science
by putting up a display of their Intellectual Ideas on 11th
July, 2015.Projects on Conservation of Energy and the
use of Chemical, Tidal, Solar and Wind Energy were
displayed. It was set up so as to provide a platform to
students to gain first-hand knowledge on the various
models made with hard work and expertise, hence,
developing their scientific aptitude. It was surprising to
see how innovative their minds were and how they
thought “out of the box”. We hope that in the future,
they will continue their study and exploration of science.
Some models worth mentioning were:
Hydraulic jack – made by Furniture made out of waste
Radhika Raghav
– by Prabhat Chhabra

A Call of the Wild...
S3’s doing Rock Climbing
The S3's from the middle block went on a camping excursion
to Chail in Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh from 22nd
May to 25th May 2015. Students enjoyed every bit of camping
and related activities in Chail. From Rock Climbing to
Rappelling or Flying Fox to Crossing the Human Bridge,
each and every activity was bravely executed by the
children. Students felt living in camps was altogether a very
new and different experience. After Chail, the group went
off for a brief stay in Chandigarh where, they visited Sukhna
Lake and the creative Rock Garden. They enjoyed the beauty
of the garden, which has been carved out of waste material.
The trip was most enjoyable and insightful.

to reach the hotel. The days that followed were
filled with nature walks and exciting activities like
rappelling, flying fox and visiting local temples. The
