Primary school families will be most familiar with what the IB calls the Learner Profile - a group of 10 characteristics which make up the ideal IB student. The profile includes being a thinker, reflective and knowledgeable but lays equal emphasis on personal characteristics like being caring, a risk-taker or communicator. They are the heart of all IB schools.
There is much to review in this newsletter which reflects a subtle teaching of the IB Learner Profile. In an introduction to adventure and risk taking, all students from Form 4 up went on overnight camps. For many it was their first experience of being away from home and you can read about their feelings elsewhere in the newsletter. Even Form 2 & 3 took a big step away from home when they spent the night in school and had a mini adventure camp which taught them risk-taking and independence.
We were delighted to host the world-famous Russian puppet group.The Moscow Regional Puppet Theatre visiting India as part of the Ishara theatre festival.
Sports
In a burst of activity our students have been participating in a number of inter-school sports events. At Pathways Noida we hosted
our first inter-school swimming tournament with great success. A number of schools participated and enjoyed the spirit of friendly competition.

Form 12 Graduation
At a solemn and emotional ceremony Form 12 students had their graduation from school 
in the presence of parents, guests, faculty and Form 11 students. Their IB exams begin in early May and they are now on study leave. Form 10 are also on study leave in preparation for their IGCSE exams. We wish both groups all the very best for this crucial step in their lives.

Senior School Principal
As some of you already know, our Senior School Principal Mr Jaffar will for personal reasons be leaving school at the end of this academic year. He will be sorely missed. As a founding member of the school’s management team he has left an indelible mark on the school.
I am happy to share with you that the incoming Principal has been appointed. He is Mr Alexander Abraham, currently Deputy Headmaster and Head of International Curriculums (IGCSE & IB) at Sarala Birla Academy, Bangalore. He has had many years of experience with the IB as coordinator and Examiner for English. He has a particular interest in theatre and has directed many musicals on stage. He will join in July though he will visit school for a familiarization trip later this month.
