PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Parents and Students,

We have updated our curriculum to include knowledge that will be at a premium in the future, such as Coding, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, etc. Data from the 2018 Deloitte Millennial Survey shows that the most important skills, we will need for tomorrow include confidence, ethical aptitude and interpersonal skills. This year we have given high priority to Soft Skills and have introduced the 'Dialog Series' as part of the Conversation Lessons in Classes I-VIII. The speaking skills are assessed and the marks and grades are reflected in the Holistic Progress Cards.

Our teachers are moulding our students for a rapidly changing world and are focused on developing their learners’ motivation to enable learning. It is when the learners end up doing the work that they will learn and understand the concept. As the common adage goes, "Whoever does the work, does the learning! ".

The Competency Based Assessment systems test not only knowledge but also Soft Skills as well as the Application of Knowledge. This has resulted in a progressive model where the learning is both deeper as well as holistic. We have incorporated progressive pedagogy such as Problem-based Learning (PBL), Inquiry-based Learning and Experiential Learning.
We had an auspicious beginning of the new Academic Session with diverse programmes to enrich our students with Learning Skills and Life Skills. The June issue of Newscast will take you through these initiatives. Happy Reading to All!

Best Regards,
Suma Paul
