“Habitat for Humanity Initiative, Pathways Noida” by Shreya Gupta Form 11

In the past academic year, 2013-2014, the School Interact Club raised funds through numerous fundraisers such as Burger sales and the Annual Christmas Carnival, for an organization called Habitat

for Humanity India. Together, Pathways and Habitat for Humanity India, adopted the project of renovating one school in the disaster struck area of Uttrakhand that had been destroyed due to the flash floods in 2013. An amount of Rs. 2,50,000/- was donated for the reconstruction of a school in Saindul, Uttrakhand from the funds raised. The construction and renovation of the Saindul school has started and is on track. The material has been purchased for the school construction and the excavation and foundation work is in progress.

We would like to thank everyone who worked tirelessly to help raise funds for this project. We would also like to specially thank all the parents who contributed enthusiastically to the Christmas Carnival and supported in raising funds for this noble cause. We will soon have more updates as the construction progresses.  Together, the Pathways community managed to help establish a school and soon many children will be studying there and reaping it’s benefits. A very heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this project a success. 

Doon School MUN 2014 by Madhav Jaichand Grade 11

“You cannot create experience. You must undergo it. ” as said by Albert Camus.

My recent experience of participating in Doon School MUN 2014,

reverberates the underlying essence of this quote. The overall experience was extremely enriching, though it was not how I had envisaged it to be. I was initially very scared and hesitant to have nominated myself for DSMUN and to be honest quite nervous as it was my very first MUN. The anxiety escalated as it was one of the most prestigious MUNs, at Doon school. While I had done some formative research, read about it, discussed with my peers, however nothing could have prepared me for the unique simulation of the United Nations at Doon. Apart from providing me with an exposure to a very highly intellectual environment, this amazing experience also provided me with an opportunity to interact with various other students from different schools, nationally and internationally.

It was the seeing and interacting with a whole lot of other first time MUNers that set me at ease. The days were a whirlwind of attending individually assigned committee meetings, raising points of personal privilege, dealing with the sudden crisis which was bombarded on us as a surprise element, and ultimately the committee passing a resolution.

From discussing ‘Child Labour’, to presenting the participating country’s view and questioning the other delegates, our Human Resource Committee (HRC) was an exciting place to be in! With all of this being very intriguing and providing a sense of absolute novelty, what interested me most was the social aspect of this invigorating experience. I fondly carry the snippets of all the fun that, we, the delegates, had at the hotel after our long and hard day. The fun, intense discussions, late night snacks, were just some of the moments we all shared. I am sure we were quite a handful for the teacher escort, though I am also convinced they would have their share of nice memories too!

 Going through this experience I gained a great amount of experiential learning within an incredible environment of administrative integrity. The DSMUN also provided me with an opportunity to enhance my public speaking skills and debating skill, which I earlier believed to not have sufficient dexterity in.

This being my first MUN ever, I value it a great deal. With this renewed confidence and exposure, I am keenly looking forward to more MUNs. 

The Interact Burger Sale By Divya Tyagi – Form 10

Have you heard of filling two needs with one deed? Interact Club is a perfect example!

While the Interact members are all geared up to give back to the society, nevertheless they find opportunities to elate the pathwayzians too. 

On this August 22nd, Interact held a Burger Sale during lunch at the school premises. The endeavor included selling burgers, soft drinks and French - fries, making the lunch time packed with a myriad of ecstatic faces. The primary objective behind the sale was to raise funds for the Sai Bal Sansar School. This noble cause and the Mc Donald delights, hauled students and teachers not only from Pathways but from other schools, participating in the school’s Resonance Festival to contribute munificently too.

With the enormous amount of efforts put in by all, the event was a raging success, with the total collections amounting to approximately Rs. 46000. This event marked the raging accomplishment of another successful Interact initiative.

Building Homes – Building Hope!

My experience at Savda Ghevra was one that has affected me very deeply. As we were told of this activity, it seemed a fun prospect to paint the walls of somebody’s home given that we had never done it before but as I went through with the trip,

experienced and interacted with the people whose house we were painting, I realized how fortunate I was to get the opportunity to connect with them and to be privileged enough to have a place I can call home. We live in a city where we are comfortable in our own bubbles of life, it’s realities and luxuries; but this trip made me step out of that bubble and experience firsthand, a new reality, a different reality, one which made me feel and realize how much of the world, my country and my city, I was missing out on. A house might just be a building but it is a place of comfort, safety and togetherness of the family. For Habitat for Humanity to be taking such initiatives to give people like Ms Seema a home, a place of safety, comfort and love, it is absolutely commendable and inspirational. I am inspired, motivated and touched by Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to support the millions that live, deficient of a place to call home and will definitely encourage and participate in their endeavors in the future.

By Radhika Sharma, Grade 11

The day trip to Savda Ghevda organized by Habitat for Humanity has been one of the most memorable, hands-on field work experiences. Out of the very few that I have done till date, this activity was the first one which I didn’t perform in personal interest. Of course CAS is required for the ‘Diploma’ in IB, but when one does the activities willfully, you actually end up enjoying doing it.

The activity was to paint the inner walls of a two story house, for those who could neither afford to get it nor do it themselves. The splashing of paint on the walls, climbing on highly unstable ladders and watching some falling into septic tank all was seeming to be fun but throughout the activity I kept on asking myself that why am I doing this? What is the reason CAS is done? Is it really needed?

Well, by at the end of this activity I pretty much got my answer. When we met the people for whom we painted the houses the very happiness on their faces and the warmth with which they welcomed us was a lot more than just enough to answer all doubts…

Our jobs were made much easier by the people who got the paint, mixed it, filled the heavy buckets and arranged for the equipment, else would have been pretty tough for us

Thanks to the people of Savda and Habitat India we could also see the Water ATM and learn how to use it.

Surely it was an experience to remember forever.

Pramothesh Mukherjee, Grade 11

On the 29th of August, Grade 11 was taken to small village called Savda Ghevra where the famous organization, Habitat for

Humanity India, organized a much awaited activity, which was to paint houses for the small community inhabiting the village. Even as we were walking towards the small homes that were to be painted, we tiptoed our way, trying to avoid the rain water that had clogged the drains and filled up the potholes. This served as proof of the hardships that the community was going through other than most of them being handicapped or disabled.

Next, five groups of students were allotted houses which had to be painted white from the inside. The interior of the little houses seemed dull and dark, to show this we took pictures before we started doing our job to compare and contrast the difference a little white paint could make. We took a step back to admire our work and suddenly the houses looked brighter and more habitable. I was satisfied and happy to see the outcome as the children who visited us during the activity were contented to see their ‘new homes’. Additionally, we learnt that the villagers are only provided with one bucket of water in four days so, I was glad of the fact that they had atleast one thing to check off their list of basic needs; a home.

Shamini Singhal, Grade 11

From Director's Desk

A very warm welcome to the first newsletter for this academic year. I am especially delighted to welcome the families who have joined the school in this year and hope you will join the Pathways community by being closely involved with the school. We are committed to the idea that the school can only be a great educational space for our children through a partnership between home and school and I welcome your suggestions over the year.

Taking forward some aspects of last year, I am happy to share separately, the results of the survey of the school conducted at the close of the last academic year.  Thank you very much for responding so well. It helps the process of ongoing school improvement.

Awards and Recognition

I am delighted to share that the Pathways schools have received the 'Best Innovative K - 12 School National' Award at the Indian Education Congress Awards - 2014, that recognize excellence in the Education sector.

In a landmark indicator the Pathways group of schools is being recognized for an outstanding Green award. Pathways Gurgaon is the first k-12 school in Asia and possibly the world to receive the LEED Platinum award and the application process for Pathways Noida is under way.  It is an indicator of the value we place on this important area of sustainability and conservation for the future, even in our building and facilities

School Spaces

They new Early Years area is providing a spacious and creative learning space for our youngest children. Similarly the relocation of the library has been a very popular move leading to an enormous jump in the number of students who are dropping in or

using the library to do quiet work.  

Traffic management

It has been a challenge to get the road outside the school usable as one half was completely laid open and dug up over the summer. The ongoing liason with the authorities  succeeded in ensuring  that half the road which had been completely dug up with an open drain was covered a day before school opened. However it remains only half done and muddy which is an enormous barrier to the smooth flow of traffic. We are pursuing this actively but are informed that civil work is being held up during the monsoon.

Meanwhile please do cooperate with parking only at the side of the road and not in the middle or in front of the school gates. A few parents have been writing in to me expressing concern at the traffic jam outside because of inconsiderate parking by some.  We are implementing strict supervision of this. Please inform your drivers to follow the instructions given. We cannot teach our children to be caring, responsible citizens if we do not lead by example.

Technology Development

We have introduced a bank of new Ipads which will be used by Nursery – Grade 1 to promote reading and other learning activity. Meanwhile students of Form 6 & 7 are now registered users of Google Apps to support their online learning activities.

Last week both Mrs Sandhir and I spoke at educational technology conferences –Mrs Sandhir at the EdTech Review and I at the World Education Summit – and it was exciting to see how far ahead we are at Pathways to what other schools around  the country are doing. 

Summer Activity

A number of activities over the summer enriched the lives of our students. The annual summer activity camp Rediscovering Minds was well attended. With workshops on music, dance, drama, Design Technology, Art, Technology, Sports and a special camp on swimming it was an exciting learning journey.

A large percentage of Grade 11 students attended summer internship programmes. These included working at Apollo, Hyundai, Hindustan Times, Dunkin Donuts, Shades of India etc. Some students attended summer programmes at University of Chicago, UC Berkley or Oxbridge Study Abroad.

A group of 35 middle and senior school students went on a summer trip to the US where they had exciting learning at the Kennedy Space Centre, Harvard, Broadway and visited the Niagara Falls.

A team of students represented the school at the IB World Student conference in Bath in the UK.

Staff

I am delighted to share with you the varied publications of our teachers. 2 teachers Ms Vandana Parashar and Ms. Sonu Khosla had articles published on the IB site.

Ms. Mayura Tiwari published a book of her poetry. These are indicators of the ways in which our teachers are vibrant intellects whose enjoyment of their own growth feeds into what they bring to their classroom.

Before school opened teachers went through a number of workshop and training sessions. These included a session on story telling for Early Learner teachers conducted by Mr. Jimmy Eapen, a training on Peer Assisted Learning Strategies by Dr Kevin Feldman and multiple in house sessions on the MYP, a variety of software and pastoral care.

I am very happy to welcome to the staff our new MYP coordinator Ms. Anshu Sharma who brings with her many years of experience with teaching and leading the MYP.

From the Senior School Principal, Mr. Alexander Abraham

It was Nelson Mandela who once said that, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." How wonderfully put by a man who was a visionary leader who saw that schools with a vision and a desire to make a transformative change in their students would be able to ensure that they can make a noteworthy difference to our world.

It is extremely cheering to hear students’ words such as “so thrilled to get back” and “school is such fun and learning- so much to do- never a dull moment”. This is thrilling to all of us educators who long before the students returned for the new academic year have engaged in planning and professional development programmes in the last ten days of July.

Even before the vacations ended our IBDP results were released and we are proud to share that Sagnik Aich and Ashira Pachera topped the class with 36 points. The students who graduated this year from the school have all been placed at very good colleges across the globe and even in India and we will continue to work at looking at ways how the processes will be firmed up so that results will be more enhanced over the years.

Even as the new academic year is barely a fortnight old we have had many busy days already. As always we encourage our students to become thought leaders.

The IBDP Orientation for new students had sessions conducted by Form 12 students on International Mindedness, the Learner Profile, the Extended Essay and the TOK and the CAS. This was something that Form 11 students could connect very well with as they embark on the road that their seniors have already travelled.

Similarly, we encouraged our students to engage with the major issues troubling our world.

We had an excellent talk given by Dr. Sujata Aishwarya Cheema, from Jamia Millia Islamia, who shared perspective on Understanding the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The talk was engaging and enabled students to be challenged to reflect on the issue and the plight of the inhabitants. What was one of the highlights of the talk was when the Q & A session took place amongst the many questions raised by students was when a young middle school student asked, “How can we as students make a difference to the intense conflict in the Middle East?” That truly captured the ethos of the school where education should surely engage students to reflect on how they can make a difference to this world of ours.

Over the last few weeks the school has been very strict on rules including punctuality. Students are now to be in school latest by 8:00 a.m. if they are travelling by their own transport. I am glad to share that we have seen that students are remarkably conscious of this effort and have responded well. There are clear penalties also for assignment submissions to come by the due dates as without this it becomes impossible for academic rigour to become ingrained in our students. This effort is to enable our students to realize that education is best equipped with self-discipline and focus and is rewarded in the long run- a skill that lasts a lifetime.

Senior school has so much to look forward to with Founder’s Day auditions and practices, the Inter School Festival “RESONANCE”, Inter house debates and the Interact Burger sale and the list goes on. The American journalist Sydney J. Harris once said, “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.”  All then that we can plan and prepare and achieve through our educative processes is to enable our students not just to reflect but become women and men of action and with new perspective step out into the world to make a perceptible change.

IB World Student Conference at the University of Bath by Kumar Rishi Sinha and Simran Bhan, Gr 12

The IB World Student Conference at Bath was woven around the theme “Building a City of the Future”.  We had prominent speakers addressing us as a group each day followed by some focused work in smaller groups (called Group Action Teams or GAT) to design our “cities of the future”.

There were 90 students from 27 countries gathered for the conference.

We were divided into smaller GAT groups with one teacher in charge. I was put into GAT group 3, where a teacher from China, Ms Fanny was the group leader. I was the only Indian in my group, so there was interesting learning from so many people from different communities. Our GAT leader had asked us to do some research on a city what was close to us and asked us to do a presentation on it the next day. I presented on Dubai, where I discussed its problems, benefits and how it is a sustainable city today. The main aim of this was to take ideas from different cities and eventually create a sustainable city of the future for our final conference project exhibition, covering issues of transport, sustainability and community aspects.

We had three main guest speakers, to tell us about their experiences with sustainable cities. The first speaker we had was Amy Robinson, director of a firm that offers sustainable solutions in Bristol, a city near Bath. She talked about Bristol, and how it has managed to become one of the most sustainable cites in UK. The next speaker we had was Dr. Adumu Idris, who gave his views on the city of Kano, and how it has segregated over the years. We got a better insight of African cities, addressing some of the problems helping us for a final project. Finally our last speaker was Nick Tyler, a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University College of London. He has international experience in researching and developing environmentally and socially sustainable solutions for growing cities. He talked about numerous cities in the world and gave us a broad insight to urban planning.

In our separate GAT sessions, there was a lot of interaction with the other people in the conference, which was really good because I learned a lot about other people’s viewpoints and thoughts which really enhanced the open mindedness in all of us. We all finally had to design our own city as a group, with a proper plan and design and present it on the final day and explain why it was sustainable.

Kumar Rishi Sinha

Grade 12

An IBWS Conference was held in the outskirts of Bath at the University of Bath on the 27th of July till the 2nd of August 2014. The theme of this conference was ‘The City of the Future’. Students from across the globe were split up into five groups of around twenty. These ‘GAT’ groups were then to design their own city. Thought provoking questions like ‘Is segregation something that needs to be tackled seriously?’ were passed around the groups.

We decided that there were three main aspects that contributed in making a good city, (1) Transport (2) Sustainability and (3)

Multiculturalism and Humane living. I decided to be a part of sustainability as I am passionate about this topic. We discussed what makes a city sustainable, but we had to consider options we needn’t usually worry about in this sense-costing and funding. As we made plans, all three subgroups realized one thing: Whether we wanted to admit it or not, we were creating a Utopia. Not only is using infinite resources as a source of energy too expensive to build and manage, so is creating a society where there are no emissions of green-house gases and no pollution whatsoever looked impossible.

This was not the outcome we were expecting. We realized that the change that the world needs would be, that we cut down carbon emissions and eliminate the use of plastics and cars, because it is more realistic than creating a new world with solar paneled roads (too expensive!). The “change” this world needs is not something physical, but something earnable: Respect. Respect for people and our planet.

This course changed my vision of the future, from something solely materialistic to spiritual. We were given a tremendous opportunity to partake in a simulation activity in the setting of the slums, where we had to create handmade paper bags under artificially created difficult conditions and sell them to the shop keepers. And although the representation cannot even help us completely comprehend the pain and the suffering that these families go through, we did end up a little more empathic and realized the hardships real people go through.  The experience and the learning will stay with me for a long time.

All in all, the experience of being a part of an IBWSC is like no other. The happiness of meeting new people and understanding new cultures is incomparable. We felt at home, responsible and followed the IB learner profile into bettering ourselves as students and people of this world as we strive to create a positive future for us and the generations to come.

NASA Trip by Trishan Dollny Gr 7, Neha Gupta Gr 8 and Tanmay Bajaj Gr 8

Early morning at school, all our parents saying goodbye to us, last minute checks and we were off! From Delhi airport to JFK, we were jet lagged but it did not bother us because the excitement was kicking in.

The next morning, it was the much awaited trip to Disneyland! From the rides and the souvenirs till the firework show, it was a magical experience. It truly felt as if we had landed in the dream world of elf’s and fairies.

The next day was the much awaited trip to the Universal studios. Unfortunately we had to quickly decide which ride to go on as the time was ticking real fast!  Thank God we discovered fast passes to beat the queues.  Of course, the rides were thrilling and the food stalls sold yummy items to keep us going.  But what left us all absolutely breathless were the fireworks.  OMG!  So many colors, so high up in the sky, ever so striking!

The visit to the Kennedy Space Centre was next. The first day at NASA was the day we toured the whole space centre, we saw IMAX films about the history of NASA and about the spaceship Colombia. We saw the control room where engineers, scientists check the spaceship's status and take action. Our instructors briefed us about the things astronauts eat in space and what materials the outer layer is made of. We went around in the tour bus and saw many different types of spaceships and some crocodiles too!

The next day at NASA was all about the simulations. We all were prepared to see the powerful and humongous engines which power the NASA rockets and shuttles to reach a thousand miles away.  The impact of seeing these enormous machines simply cannot be described.

We all just loved the simulator where we were spun and tossed around to get a taste of the training astronauts go through.  This way they learn not to get dizzy in space and to keep their concentration in case their shuttle goes out of control in space.

We learnt that many brave astronauts had lost their lives experimenting in space.  They themselves thought that it was absolutely worth the risk because they wanted to discover more.  That is why they are still saluted with such honor and respect. 

It was time to travel to Boston! When we reached Boston, we had an open session with a student at MIT, he talked to us about the facilities on campus, subjects, scholarships and things the people at MIT do for fun.

We then had a robotics workshop at MIT where we learned how to program our own robot to make it move and perform tasks! Then we had an open session with a student from Harvard where she talked to us about the history of Harvard, what facilities are there, the different types of buildings, schools, libraries on campus. Walking through those historical grounds, we all wished that someday we too would get a chance to be part of theses esteemed institutions.

The following day was the day we travelled to Niagara. I can assure you that maid of the mist lives up to its name because we could definitely see the mist in the air! It was a cold afternoon, above us were dark and heavy clouds, around us was a spray of mist which drenched us from head to toe, beneath us was thundering water.  We were mesmerized by the power of the gushing waters of the mystical and majestic Niagara falls.

Up next was New York! Statue of Liberty, time square, Madame Tussauds, Broadway and the Empire State Building. It was stirring! The people, the thrill on the streets, such amazing things to see! When we landed in India, saw our parents, some of us were speechless, Some of us could not stop talking!

I would like to thank all the teachers and instructors who made this dream of going to USA and visiting these places come true! It was truly an unforgettable experience of a lifetime!

From the Director's Desk

We are coming up to the last few weeks of the school year and as students go into exams and final assessments this will be the last newsletter of this year. As temperatures shoot up I must appreciate the administration department of the school for all their hard work in ensuring that power backups in the school function and that there is sufficient water to keep the campus green and dust-free. Anyone living in India knows that maintaining these areas requires a great deal of planning and hard work. Board exams for the IGCSE have begun and IB exams begin next week. Secondary students go into school exams in the middle of May and Grade 5 students are busy planning for their PYP Exhibition.

MYP

Work on preparation for the introduction of the MYP continue at a good pace. Four teachers attended an IB training workshop in Bangalore.

On Saturday and Sunday teachers are in school all day at an MYP training workshop. This is being conducted by the IB workshop leader Natalie Kunst from Discovery College in Hongkong and despite heroically working through the weekend, our teachers are looking forward to the new learning which this enables. It is this passion for development which makes our teachers at Pathways Noida into great educators.

Multiple Learning Opportunities

Last Friday saw an unusual combination of learning events coming together on a single day which unintentionally  captures the multiple learning approaches at the school.

1.            The interact club did a superb exercise coordinated by our CAS coordinator Ms Indira and spearheaded by a Form 11 student

Shreya Gupta  to organize an Eye camp in the neighbouring Sadar Sarai village in Sec 46 Noida with the support of I – Care hospital in Sec 26 Noida. At this camp , free eye check up was offered and also cataract surgeries and spectacles were sponsored to those who needed them for free  from the Interact funds.  What made the exercise even more special was how it involved different communities of our school – some of our own bhaiyas and didis who helped to set it up, maintenance and administrative staff who helped with infrastructure, teachers, students from the Interact club and even some parents who came and generously donated towards the fund.

2.            In middle school we had Personal Project

presentations by Form 8. As usual there were a number of ingenious and creative projects. It’s a reminder of how much hard work and how much talent is possible to showcase when students are inspired to take charge of their own learning.

3.            Primary school students created sculpture out of junk

materials in an inter-house event. The buzz of focused attention, the clever way in which they put their pieces together was a delight to watch. 

TRIP TO NASA, MIT & HARVARD

On the 6th of June 32 students from middle and senior school leave for an educational trip to the US. They will visit NASA where they will have the opportunity to work under the supervision of eminent scientists and astronauts and  interact through space shuttle mission simulations, tours of NASA’s space centers. They will also visit the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston and Harvard University which will include an orientation lecture at the Admissions Department followed by a student led tour of the campus, giving the children an overview of the life and culture at some of the best universities in the world. Finally they will have a guided tour of the MIT Museum and workshops on Robotics using Lego Mindstorm Kits and DNA Structuring and Harvard Museum of Natural History with workshops  on Climate Change. Their learning from such a trip will be exciting and we are looking forward to hearing all about it when they return.

Music Assembly

Secondary school students put up a superb show of western and Indian music dazzling as always with a variety of talent. In a unique feature, all the announcements and information were sung rather than spoken. Performances of flute, keyboard, table and drums were accompanied by excellent singing.

Summer Programmes

It has been good to see the interest among parents in the proposal for opening our sports facility to families. We will be sending out more information later this month. Meanwhile registrations are coming in for our summer camp Rediscovering Minds open to our students and those from other schools. We will also be running an early morning sports training programme for those interested in different sports.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ~Alvin Toffler

Different opportunities are being provided to the students to develop as lifelong learners through the curriculum.

Personal Project

Personal project is an  activity which is the culminating event of the MYP years. 

At Pathways, students  do this in Grade 8,  before they step into senior  school. This project helps them to develop skills required for extended essay in the diploma program in grade 12. It provides an excellent opportunity for the students to produce a truly personal and creative work. Personal, because the subject is chosen by the student as per their interest and passion. This is important since it brings in creative involvement and inspires the student.  It is  challenging, yet achievable, and involves a lot of research. It is a valuable experience where process is more important than the product. Student reflect on the process of the whole project and this enables a lot of learning.

A final presentation on personal project was done Apr 25, 2014. Grade 8 students displayed their products  and shared the process as well as their learning. The range of topics was very wide. Some students created tutorials on playing basketball, sketching, some wrote books, developed online games and one student also developed an app which has links to moodle, google calendar and class wiki’s. The list is huge and reflects creative ability.

Tree Plantation at Sanjay van

Sensitivity towards the environment is one of the many aims of the MYP.

With this in mind and as the action component of the unit under study, the students of grade 6 and the pre-termers were encouraged to think about their responsibility towards nature on a field trip to Sanjay Van, a part of the forest on the Southern Ridge in Delhi, on 2nd May 2014.

The children interacted with AVM Vinod Rawat, who spearheaded this project of restoring the indigenous forest on the ridge and creating water bodies where the ‘Vilaiti Keekar, had all but drained the water table completely. Children also planted some local varieties of trees on the banks of one of the little lakes as their contribution towards working with nature.

Teachers are learners too!

We will begin implementing  MYP curriculum from  new session in August 2014 for Grade 6 and Grade 7. Learning is not limited to the students alone and is extended to teachers as well. Four teachers went to Bangalore to attend to attend their subject workshops as part of  orientation training. These were conducted by IB trainers. Another workshop with the same aim was conducted in the school premises by Natalie Kunst  ( an IB trainer from Hong Kong) on May 03, 2014 and May 04, 2014.
