WEEKLY ASSEMBLY REPORT – 27TH JANUARY 2015

R BK International Academy firmly believes in encouraging and motivating its students for all the

achievements they make in their day to day school life. It is important to give them a platform to be

appreciated amongst their fellow classmates. This also teaches other students to know the importance of

appreciating one‟s own classmates and what better than a morning school assembly. There were few

important events which took place in the previous week and the students were felicitated with participation

certificates in the assembly. Following are the names of the students with the events they were awarded for.

Like last year, this year too, RBK international Academy was invited by the Universal school for an

Inter-School Competition “THE LINGUIST- A LANGUAGE EXTRAVAGANZA” which was held

on Friday 19thDecember 2014 in their school premises.

brethren from other parts of the city.

For testing varied skills of the competitors, there were different competitions such as:

GRADE 10 PERSONAL PROJECT PRESENTATIONS BY BATCH OF 2014-15

T he Personal Project is a requirement of the MYP. It is an important student-directed inquiry,

produced over an extended period and completed at the end of Grade 10. The Personal Project

Presentation showcases the students‟ understanding of the MYP requirements and mirrors their passion to

be achievers! Students may select their own topic or theme - one about which they are enthusiastic - and

must show commitment to the completion of their own project, which will be in their own time. The

project can turn out to be an original piece of art, a piece of literary fiction, an original Science

experiment, an invention or a written piece of work on a special topic.

Ms. Dharmani appreciated the presentations Ms. Krithika Aiyer and Mr. Rakhasiya

“The presentations made by the Gr 10 were impressive…..well researched and expressed with

enthusiasm and confidence. Congratulations to the students and teachers for the excellent display!”

- Ms. Krithika Aiyer

“After all the hard work done, the final day came when we had to present our personal

projects in front of an audience. All the presentations went well. We received a really good

feedback for our work. It was a very good experience. For me, the product is important…

but the journey is very important!”

- Muskan Mehta Grade 10

WELL DONE GRADE 10 STUDENTS!

Thank you all for making this event a memorable one!

REFLECTIONS FROM GRADE 9

For me, it was a great experience! We, the 9th Graders, got an amazing opportunity to learn about the

personal project. We got an idea about what to do and what not to do for our personal projects. The

variety of the projects also helped us to get a great perspective on choosing a suitable topic for our work

next year.

- ADITYA AIYER

We, the 9th Graders, were privileged to be a part of the jury and grade the personal projects presented by

the students of Grade 10. It was really a wonderful experience! We got to know how to use certain graphic

techniques that would help us for our projects in our next grade. We thank the school for giving us this

opportunity!

- AASHNA PAREKH

It was the day for the Grade 10 Personal Project Presentations!

As a part of the jury, while grading them, I felt all their

presentations were very creative. They all had put in a lot of

effort to make their work the best. I also got an idea what to do

next year for my personal project.

- ADITYA SHAH

We, from Grade 9, were a part of the jury for Gr 10 personal

project presentation. The presentations gave us tips about time

management. We got ideas how to present ourselves and be

confident during our communication. In a way it motivated us

and I was very proud to be a part of the jury! I am now confident

for my presentations next year!

- MAHEK PATEL

We as jury witnessed various topics presented by the 10th

Graders. I am happy that I got this opportunity to witness the

presentations. Also, I got an idea how to research on various

topics beneficial for my next year‟s presentations. I thank all my

teachers and seniors for this experience!

- MAHEK SEWANI

Being a part of the jury for the current Grade 10‟s personal projects presentation was something I would

never imagine myself doing! It was a great platform for us because next year we would be presenting! We

learnt a lot about the MYP personal project and on how to go about. Hence it would be easier for us to go

about with our personal project. It was a great display place to express thoughts and talents for the Grade 10

students and we were amazed with their research work! - AANCHAL DHARMANI

As the jury, we graded all the 25 personal project presentations. It was a whole new experience useful for

us while we move on to Grade 10. We witnessed various kinds of presentations; from batteries made from

solar energy to baking cupcakes and mouthwatering chocolates! I really look forward to work on my

personal project presentation for next year. I learnt a lot from my seniors and wish to use the same in my

journey.

REFLECTION ON TIMES NIE NEWSMAKERS MEET

W ith me, Aditi Bhatnagar Gr 7, Saumya Dave and Pranav Lakhan and Grade 8 represented our school

for the Times NIE Newsmakers Meet on 16 January 2015 held at Marine Lines. Reaching the

venue, we found the place full of buzz…….full of young, enthusiastic students, eagerly waiting for the

Chief Minister of Maharashtra- Mr. Devendra Fadnavis, the chief guest for the day!

While we were waiting, we watched videos about the making of newspapers and also advertisements about

the sponsors for this event. This was followed by a quiz, where we were tested on our knowledge of recent/

current events/affairs. There were 26 questions all of which were related to current affairs except 1, which

asked us to write about the „Mumbai of your dreams’. In addition, we were asked to name one change that

we would like to be seen in Mumbai. Some people gave exceptional answers, with one boy answering

„New Cluster Developments’ and another girl answering ‘The number of tuberculosis cases in Dadar

should be reduced’. When, the Chief Minister arrived and everyone started clapping aloud to mark his

welcome. Later, the main event started. Some really difficult questions were posed at him:

Q “There is an absence of parks and playgrounds near my house. What can be done?”

CM “The BMC is planning to increase the number of parks and playgrounds in Mumbai, to give our

children more area to play. We will try and decongest the city to create more green spaces for open areas

for children to play.”

Q “What will the government do to ensure safety in schools, after the Peshawar School attack?

CM “We can provide more CCTV cameras and policemen in schools however but the school and the

students have to be vigilant too”.

When it was time to go home, I was disappointed that I could not ask Mr. Fadnavis a question.

Nevertheless, I left with more knowledge about the problems faced by people living in Mumbai and also

got a chance to hear his plans for us.
