Film It: Winning by Storytelling about Culture

Delighted to share that our students have won the 'Best Narration' and the 'Best Narrative' awards for their short movies at the 16th Filmit Festival. The INTACH FILMIT project, initiated by the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, aims to boost cultural heritage awareness among students by encouraging them to explore, document, and present various facets of their cultural heritage through short films. The award-winning short films produced by Chehak Kandpal (class VI) and Apurva Nair (class X), skillfully weave together elements of storytelling, cinematography, and cultural exploration. The films take the audience on a captivating journey through Uttarakhand and Kerala, showcasing its historical landmarks, traditions, and the unique stories embedded in its cultural fabric. The recognition of 'Best Narration' and 'Best Narrative' is a testament to the students' exceptional storytelling abilities, creativity and appreciation of our diverse cultural heritage. Congratulations Chehak and Apurva!
 

Kriya Festival: Creating a Passion for Play and Vigour

‘Kriya’, the annual sports festival of the School, was held between 17th February and 22nd  February 2024 at its futsal grounds for  Ankur to class V, a spectacle that showcased a vibrant range of drills, fun races, and yoga ‘asanas’ that enchanted parents and teachers alike. While Ankurs and Pallavs indulged in rhythmic drills, races, and dribbling exercises using props like balls and dumbbells, students of classes I and II presented rhythmic drills that included hula hoops and rhythmic clapping with accompanying music. The ‘monkey business’ game in which the students became mischievous jungle monkeys indulging in running, hopping, jumping, and overcoming hurdles was a special attraction and a delightful surprise. Students of class III performed various yoga ‘asanas’ while students of class IV performed ‘chandra namaskar’ followed by an energising flag drill. Students of class V performed the Tabata workout, a high-intensity interval training programme. This was followed by matches in specialisations of table tennis, gymnastics, futsal, and basketball. Games were also organised for parents to highlight the importance of play at every age, which parents enthusiastically participated in. The Kriya Festival underscored the School's commitment to holistic development, combining physical activity with mental agility apart from camaraderie and sportsmanship.

Kriya’, the annual sports festival of the School, was held on 30th January and 13th February 2024 at its futsal grounds for the senior school students. Beginning with a march past that showcased the spirit of camaraderie, pride, and sportsmanship, the event unfolded with a wide array of drills performed by students of various specialisations like gymnastics, basketball, football, and table tennis. An especially attractive item was the unique drill called ‘Agilhythm’ performed by the students of classes IX and XI which spectacularly displayed a combination of agility and rhythmic movement. Apart from such aesthetic display, children demonstrated their athletic prowess through competitive inter-house matches in futsal, basketball, table tennis, and gymnastics. This unique mix of cooperative and competitive activities showcasing both power and beauty reflects the School’s commitment to fostering holistic development that includes both mental and physical fitness. It was wonderful seeing the parents and teachers showing their unwavering support and cheering on the participants from the sidelines.
