“If you want your children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders”. In this day and age of intense competition, it is imperative that parents identify the abilities and qualities of their wards at the right time. Making them responsible for their decisions also comes with letting them perform without pressure of petty comparisons. All children are gifted and able in their own unique way, and we as parents and teachers need to provide them the support to pursue their interests and emerge as strong, independent and confident individuals who are ready to become global citizens. I urge each and every student, parent, teacher and all members associated with OIS Malad to make this possible – together we can strive to give the best to our students – our future citizens!

Investiture Ceremony

OZONE… The Orchids Zone – Events & Celebrations

The Investiture Ceremony for the academic session 2016-2017 was conducted with a high degree of sincerity and enthusiasm. The event was initiated by lighting of the lamp which signifies removal of darkness; Continuous upward movement of the flames denote the path to wisdom and divinity. The Welcome dance was performed beautifully by the students of Class 4 and 6. The students played the Band and marched past. In the secondary sections students were nominated on the basis of discipline, academics and behavior; nominations were done by the students themselves so that they can be role models to their fellow schoolmates. Our newly elected student council took an oath in front of the whole school to be true to their posts and duties assigned to them. The ceremony was concluded with the National Anthem. It was a memorable day for the Orchidians.

Independence Day Celebration

Students, parents, teachers and the school management celebrated the 70th Independence day by paying their respects to our country in the form of various events held at the school. The day started with the flag hoisting by our beloved Principal, followed by a scintillating performance by the school band students. This was followed by welcome speech, dance, patriotic song, human pyramid and fashion show performances by students of grades IV to VII. It was a feast to the eyes seeing the students perform confidently on stage.

Teachers Day Celebration

“Teacher’s Day” was celebrated with great enthusiasm and zeal. The students of grades VI and VII organized a surprise event for all teachers which included skits, songs, poems and dances performed by the students of all grades. The teachers were greeted with hand made cards and flowers. The students also organized the “ORCHIDS PARIVAR AWARDS” where teachers were awarded for their best qualities. All the teachers were overwhelmed by the love showered on them by their beloved students. The entire school management and teachers felt rejuvenated and are looking forward to one more wonderful year ahead with our dear students!!

Parents Day Celebration

Flower Rangoli – Onam celebration

Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations

Parents have always presented their children with many gifts. They are the ones who possess immense patience to bring up their child in the best possible way. To honour these special people, we celebrated Parents’ Day on 27th July 2016. Students of Primary grades made colourful greeting cards with the guidance and support of their teachers to be gifted to their parents, whereas the secondary students wrote beautiful poems to express their love to their parents. It was the team effort of all the teachers, students and management that made the day special and unique.

We celebrated Onam festival with ‘Flower Rangoli Competition” for the parents of Pre- Primary sections on 12th Sep 2016. Rangoli is an art from India in which patterns are designed on the floor by using flower petals, colored rice etc. The main thought and purpose of a ‘Rangoli’ is to bring good luck. The parents participated enthusiastically and were very creative within the time limit given to them. Judges had a tough time choosing the winners from the huge array of beautifully designed rangolis.

Ganesha Chaturthi was celebrated by all grades in the school. Children were shown videos and stories related to Lord Ganesha. The importance of God in every human being’s life was very well inculcated in their minds. As a take home memoir, pre-primary grades made small Lord Ganesha using different materials like paper cups, chart papers,etc. The children were happy to celebrate the festival and took home values along with learning.

Raksha Bandhan Celebration

Janmashtami celebrations

Family Day celebrations

Raksha Bandhan is a festival which celebrates the bond of affection between brothers and sisters. We celebrated Raksha Bandhan for Pre-Nursery, Nursery, K1 and K2 students on 16th August 2016. The teachers explained the concept of Raksha Bandhan and its significance. Children had ‘Rakhi’ making activity; the Rakhis made by them were tied on their wrists by the teachers. The children could not stop showing-off their Rakhis and were very excited to get them as take-away gifts for the day.

We celebrated Janmastami on 24th August 2016 for grades Pre-nursery, Nursery K1 and K2. All the children came to school dressed in traditional clothes. Most of the boys came dressed as Krishna and girls came dressed as Radha. The Classrooms were decorated with colourful streamers; Dahi Handi was tied in the class which was filled with decorative materials. The Children and teachers broke the Dahi Handi. The children were very happy and excited about the whole event. The children were shown a story on the Birth of Lord Krishna on the digi board. It was an enjoyable and memorable day for the children.

On 13th August 2016, we organized "Family Day" for Pre-Nursery, Nursery and K1 grades. Parents and grandparents thronged the school to be a part of the event. The event began by rendering a family prayer and showing a presentation on importance of family in a child's life to the little ones. To cherish these relationships, various games and activities were organized. The event ended by capturing cherished moments with different props at the selfie wall. The children and their families had a great and memorable time at the school!
