Koffee with Parents (23/6/2012)

23.6.12 was a day of ‘KOFFEE with Parents’ at Orchids. Parents who really make a lot of difference attended the programme which was meant to be an Interactive session. Principal, Ms. Mona Mehdi gave an introductory address which was informative and promising. All about Orchids- from its Mission and Vision, its Philosophy, Policies and Rules, to its activities and endeavours to progress constantly were elaborated. Parents were also motivated to encourage their children to grab opportunities and participate in all the programmes, activities and competitions which gradually improve their skills and performance. Orchids exists for the children and their all-round development.

Mr. Sri Ram, Head of Shree Sahasraa Foundation who handles Abacus and Vedic Math classes at Orchids demonstrated how the subjects make children excel in Maths.

The Interactive Session impressed the audience and closed with Parent Representatives nominated for all the classes. Another beginning again!

Campus Tour (22/6/2012)

Orchids – The International School organized a campus tour for primary wing (Nursery to V) on 22^nd June 2012. A campus visit is the best informative activity at anytime. This helps the students to ask questions and to explore the aspects of the school while on their tour. Touring around will create in students a much sharper appreciation for the school and will help them to refine their sweet memories in the school. It also makes them naturally enthusiastic. The child would come to know about the school’s culture and can share their experiences. Once we are on campus tour, we have an advantage of a variety of ways to learn about the school:

·         Reading bulletin boards

·         Conversations with students

·         Explore the campus on our own and absorb the atmosphere

·         Being motivated

Finally, everyone starts feeling comfortable which in turn helps them to learn well and enjoy oneself.

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.
