International Cafeteria was initiated on December 25, 2009 during the Christmas Carnival where students and teachers prepared and served delicacies from various parts of the world. The initiative was very well appreciated not only for the quality of food but also for the warmth and hospitality shown by student volunteers at work. Many commented on its obvious spin off of greater bonding and sharing within families and across cultures (through food) which somehow is becoming a casualty in the fast pace of modern life style.

WINDOWS TO THE WORLD

INTERNATIONAL FLAG DAY – FLAG MAKING

Celebration of global diversity through flags was the main objective of celebrating International Flag Day on December 7,2009. A project called Flags on eLanguages website invited schools to look at the history of our flags and to design our own. This idea caught the imagination of children. The entire school wore an “international” look with flags of all colours adorning the corridors. Students in primary classes were happy to colour their national flag and learn about the significance of colours in the flag. Greatest enthusiasm was displayed by pupils of middle and secondary department who traced the history of evolution of Indian Flag. The work was displayed on eLanguages website where students shared their flags with peers across the globe.

LEARNING TO GREET THE WORLD IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

The school organized an event “Say Hello to the World” which took several creative turns. The students were thrilled to dress up in the native costume of their chosen country and to greet everyone who came their traditional way. The project was very successful in transforming a local school into a hub of internationalism.

This project was chosen for the Guard of Honour on the Annual Day Celebrations.
