Becoming a responsible learner in
the 21st century is a skill which plays a significant role in the way life
shapes up. We at Pathways always strive to achieve it and provide the students
with opportunities and experiences to enhance this skill.
The Student led conference by
Form 6 & 7 students was one such experience. Students were extremely
reflective as they shared their performance with their parents in different
areas of work. A survey was conducted after the conference to take student feedback
on this event. 73 % of the students felt
that it helped them to understand their strengths. 71% said that it helped them
to share what they were learning in the school and 77% preferred student-led
conference over parent teacher
conference . It was also interesting to see varied and mature suggestions on
further improving the process.

Five students from Middle School
will also be going to Singapore to participate in the MUN at the Overseas Family
School.
Assemblies are also such events where
one comes across a multitude of talent. In the Form 8 B assembly, the students
showcased their musical and acting talent.The theme was ‘Wind of change’.
Students enacted in a play which highlighted the key obstacles confronting
gender equality in India and the requirement of change.
Technology can be a powerful tool
to enhance learning, enabling students to access information and collaborate
with others across the school, community and globally. However it is as
important to educate the students on using the tool responsibly. While it is
done as part of ICT curriculum too, increased focus was given during Internet Safety
Week where the students learnt to use internet safely through various
activities and competitions .
In short, providing our students
right learning tools in an conducive atmosphere is an ongoing process at
Pathways and we will continue to be innovative in our approach to meet our aim.
