Dear Parent,

I am sure the students have enjoyed with you all during the vacation and are back to school with vigour. As promised we are heading towards an eventful year with a well- planned curriculum, with activity- based teaching methodology incorporated and digitized class- rooms. 

To keep you updated about the events and happenings you can visit the class blogs which also cover the syllabus to be taught in a particular month.

Kindly fill the consent slip indicating the activity the child would opt for. Please send it back to us at the earliest.

 You are requested to deposit Rs. 275 with your ward’s class teacher for the issue of school diary, Year Planner and ID card. Please read the diary and fill in the details carefully. Kindly sign the diary daily.

 An educational tour will be organized in the last week of September for the students of classes IV to X and a separate circular will be sent.

We need your support and cooperation for the smooth functioning of the school. You are requested not to come to pick your ward during school hours unless it’s urgent. If your child is unwell, please let him/her stay at home and take rest.

Your ward should report to school on time. Late arrivals will not be entertained. Students using the school transport should note that bus will not wait for more than 2 minutes at a particular stop. In case your ward misses the bus, the child will have to be dropped at the school.

The school uniform will be available in the school by the end of this month. We regret the delay.

Please pay the school fee of your ward on time in order to avoid inconvenience.

In anticipation for your cooperation and support.

Regards

Mona Mehdi

Guest Lecture on Being Tolerant (14/06/2012)

Orchids -The International School invited Dr. Durga Kalavapalli to conduct a guest lecture on the topic ‘Being tolerant’. Dr. Durga presented the concept interestingly with apt examples. She spoke about various scenarios, where being tolerant is necessary to achieve successful results and also certain situations where being intolerant is unavoidable. It was a very interactive session with active participation of all the students from class VI –X.
