Mother’s Day

Every parent desire is to

spend more time with

their children and to

know what happens in

their life. At the Nursery

Campus we have

programs that ensure to

include our parents in the

learning process of their

children, one of these is ‘A

Day in the life of my child’.

On this day our parents

spend the day with the

learners in class and get

immersed in the day’s

activities as is scheduled

in the timetable. Such an

event helps the parents

learn on the ways to

better support their

children’s learning and

development process.

A Day in the life of my child

The Reception classes

visited the Meteorological

Department along

Ngon’g road, and the

Kindergarten classes

visited the Village Market

to learn about sea

creatures. This helps to

reinforce what the children

have learned and give

them an oppotunity to

interact with the real world

in an educative yet fun

way.

In line with our Child

Protection policy, we

held a sexual abuse

workshop aime at our KG

and Reception Classes

dubbed “Good Touch

and Bad Touch”. The

children were taught

that their body belongs

to them and they have

a right to protect it. They

were taught how to

identify the ‘No Touch’

areas, understand

who are ‘Safe Adults’

and how to clearly

communicate with

parents about any bad

experience.

After all these engaging

activities, an overnight

camp for the Kindergarten

learners at school was the

proverbial cherry on top

of the fun. This camp was

so adventurous and filled

with amazing sports for

our learners which gave

all of us a memorable

experience to cherish.

Independence and social

skills were among the

numerous goals of this

event.

On 11th May 2019, the Oshwal fraternity was treated to a night of music and dance. The event which was held at the school auditorium from 6.00pm attracted many guests, among them parents, guardians, teachers and students. After rehearsing for several weeks, it was thrilling to watch young artists showcase their prowess in various categories. From

solo to group dances, duet to trio dances, mesh up to trio singing. It was also fulfilling to see young students honour their heritage through an African dance as well as a Garbo traditional dance.

Other talented students didn’t shy away from showing their skills in poem narration and playing musical instruments. Through the music and

dance event, our students are given a chance to bring out other activities they can do beyond the classroom walls. The money raised via the sale of tickets is used for charity and goes a long way in helping the needy in the society.

The science club patron with the co patron and committee members conducted annual science fair. There was over whelming response from students from junior and senior category. Altogether 106 students participated in today’s fair, presented 68 projects from 6 categories.
