FROM THE DESK OF

THE MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIVE

O ur MYP and DP students are getting geared up for their educational trip

in September. While safety of our students is the first concern, we also

want our students to imbibe social skills like adjusting with others when

they move out of their comfort zone and experience team spirit. We had

arranged for the meeting of tour organiser and the parents of MYP and IBDP

sections.

I am sure our students are looking forward for their trip !

I wish all our students, staff and parents, a very HAPPY GAURI AND

GANESHA FESTIVAL. May Lord GANESHA, destroyer of all the obstacles

pave way for your success and prosperity in life.

I wish all our MYP and DP students to prepare well for the assessments commencing from 4th

September and ending on 10th September 2014.

September 05: Dr. Radhakrishnan’s Birthday, I wish all my Teachers a very Happy Teachers’

day!

O range, Green and White, our Indian tri colors were the attire of the day on 14th August

to celebrate our Independence Day! Little ones from early years charmingly dressed

and proudly representing our nation, sang some old favourite patriotic songs with

great fervour. They watched videos on the history of the country. While the nursery children

sported with pride the tri-color head gear, K2 students, made neck ties which they wore in

school. Teachers used the event to inculcate the spirit of patriotism in their young minds and

hearts. Finally, they all sang the National Anthem solemnly to mark the end of the day.

19TH AUGUST ADVENTURE TRIP ……..CHHOTA KASHMIR

3 A and 3 B experienced a half day tour to Kashmir in the heart of Mumbai. They viewed the

surroundings, lush green and fresh under the monsoon skies. Gasping at the little pond with its

variety of foliage and flowers, they stopped from time to time to let out exclamations of surprise,

“look at this!”

Boys and girls together wandered around making connections to classroom information like the

food chain of a pond habitat and life cycle of frogs.

We photographed the students with some pleasant backdrops and returned to school with many

stories to tell.

STUDENTS REFLECTIONS……

In the field trip we went to Aarey milk colony and Chota Kashmir. I learnt 3 layers of the pond –

The open water, bottom of the pond and the shallow part. In the garden I saw the butterflies

feeding on the pollen.— Aditya Mudbidri 3 A

For the field trip we went to Chota Kashmir. We

even went to the garden. I had lot of fun there. I

will again go there with my mom and dad. In Chota

Kashmir I saw the pond. It was deep and I also saw

swans swimming in the pond. There were also

boats in the pond to take a ride. I enjoyed Chota

Kashmir and I would like to go there again.

Today we went to Lotus pond in Aarey colony for

field trip. So we first saw a pond and teacher asked

us to spot animals of the pond. I spotted rolling

beetles, swans and ducks. Then we went to the

garden to play. Me, Aaryan, Siddhant and Mit

played lot of games. Then we went for a nature

trail in the garden. I saw different species of

butterflies there. I also learnt about the three layers

of the pond that is open water, Shallow part and the

bottom part of the pond.— Sidharth Soni 3 A

IIMUN MUMBAI MEGA CONFERENCE 2014

I ndian International Model United Nations (IIMUN) is one of India's leading brands in

education conference management having organized the Asia's Largest Youth Conference in

Mumbai amongst the many other conferences. Being a conference for the youth by the youth, it

is run completely by students in age group of 16-22 years. It provides the youth a platform to voice

their opinions by forwarding their drafted resolutions to the United Nations. It is also the first MUN

in Asia to have its own procedure. This year, the event was organized at The Retreat Hotel and

Convention Centre at Madh Island in Malad.

Day – 1

The first day we had the opening ceremony where noted luminaries were invited to give speeches

related to an MUN conference. To name a few: Mr. Abbas Tyrewala, Imran Khan, Ronnie

Screwala, Rahul Bose were in attendance. In addition to this, Mudassar Khan gave a fantastic

performance. He is said to be the choreographer for Salman Khan in his films. There was also an

Indian dance performance by a troop which had previously performed for the Queen of England. It

was an outstanding performance.

Day – 2

From the second day, we started with proper committee sessions. As it was our 68th Independence

Day, everyone had to wear traditional clothes for the conference. As soon as we arrived at the hotel,

Mr. Fred and Ms. Anushree being our faculty advisors gave us a few instructions and then we

proceeded to our respective committees. I was with Surya in the Legal Committee which is the 6th

committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Our agendas for debate were

―Framework on Diplomatic Immunity‖ and ―Air Law‖. Different committees had different topics to

discuss.

Day – 3

On the third day, as usual we had our committee sessions from 9:30 am till lunch time. Then

committee sessions resumed. When we are inside the committee hall, it’s a totally different

experience. That’s the time when you get to talk in front of so many delegations and put forth your

point. When it comes to resolutions and working papers, it is even more interesting since you need

to identify your allies and talk to them and get their point of view on the issue at hand. Then once

a resolution is finalized, the committee goes under formal voting procedure where you need to

vote for or against it. Only if there is a two third majority in support, then the resolution passes and

vice versa.

Day – 4

On the last day, we had committees

only till lunch time. After lunch time

was the closing ceremony where the

best delegate awards for each

committee were distributed.

Undoubtedly, from the UNODC

Committee Aaryan Pandit got the

Special Mention trophy for being the

most argumentative and outspoken

on the issues of his committee.

Finally, everyone truly enjoyed this

conference and is eagerly waiting to

attend the next IIMUN conference.
