From the Middle School Principal

It seems like a new beginning with the middle school growing into two sections in each class and many new members joining the team. Our staff remains committed and caring and we ensure that the students get different experiences and opportunities to develop their skills and advance their knowledge .

Many students have taken up the initiative to be a part of our communications to the parents through Newsletter and blog .The newsletter The Sensible 6th is by Form 6 and the blog Midway's voice is the work of Form 7 & 8 students. The editorial team plans and the other students volunteer for the role of reporters, photographers or designers.

The choice of clubs has expanded as we have added more to the list .The new clubs are Chess, Public speaking, Film making, Jewelry design, Dance and Community Service.

 

 

While we integrate technology to improve student learning we also use it to help students organize themselves. As a part of this we have introduced Google Calendar to middle school to help students, teachers and parents keep track of the ongoing projects, tests and assignments that students are working on. Basically, we have created a shared calendar for each form, where teachers will record all major assignments and the due date. All assignments for each form are recorded in one calendar.

Students have subscribed to this calendar, and can display it on their laptop or phone. They can also set up reminders by e-mail, pop-up message, or phone alarm for each individual assignment!

We also continue to use Moodle with the help of which teachers can create “virtual classrooms” where students and teachers collaborate in an interactive, on-line environment. It is also being used by the teachers to upload their resources and videos. Students can submit their assignments online, attempt quizzes. It is a learning management system which can help us develop students into independent learners.

 

It is an exciting school year with busy schedules. However, it continues to rejuvenate all of us as we see our involved children always eager to learn and experiment.
