Young Innovators of the S.S. Block, 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.

A Call of the Wild... 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.

On the 18th of May, A group of 30 students of class S5 left for a 4 day school trip to Bhimtal, Nainital and Jim Corbett via road. It took 20 hours for them 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 students also went for a jungle safari where they saw few of the indigenous species of animals. Tired and exhausted, the students finally came back with wonderful memories to look back upon.

On 18th May 2015 a group of 38 students of S4 went to Shimla. It took around 9-10 hrs to reach there. They went to the Sankat Mochan Temple and Jakhu Temple and also visited Chail and Kufri. After visiting the temples, they roamed on the mall road and had lots of fun. They also saw the highest cricket ground.
