WE BAG THE AEC GOLD AWARD<br />
It was a proud moment for our school as it was conferred with the AEC Gold Award in recognition for its outstanding<br />
achievement in developing innovative and beneficial online learning projects among the students in Asia and Europe. The<br />
award is for the online collaborative project – 'Windows to the Past - A Glimpse into our Heritage'. Students and teachers<br />
from over twelve countries worked together to share the rich heritage of their countries. The countries that were actively<br />
involved were Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Finland, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sweden, Singapore, Italy, Germany<br />
and of course the host country, India. This project lasted for six months and covered different aspects of heritage-cuisine,<br />
monuments, legends, traditions to name a few. The website www.windows2dpast.webs.com was designed by the<br />
students to showcase and present the heritage of their country in the most creative manner. The Gold Award carries with it<br />
a cash award of 2000 Euros for the school alongwith certificates for all the students involved. The students were led by our<br />
Global Project Co-ordinator, Ms. G. Rajan ably assisted by teachers Ms.R.Kohli, Ms.S.Arora and Ms. A.Vohra.<br />
There is no friend as loyal as a book.'- Ernest<br />
Hemingway.<br />
Nothing is as precious as books and nothing<br />
expands your horizons and keeps you<br />
entertained at the same time as nicely as books<br />
do. With such a belief in mind, Cinedarbaar and<br />
the National Book Trust, India, organised<br />
'Qitaabe', which was a celebration of National<br />
Book Week, in the Capital. The aim was to<br />
promote and encourage book reading and<br />
literature among the masses. The activities<br />
were centered around books and literature.<br />
Waves, a compilation of short stories written<br />
exclusively by children in the age group of 13 -<br />
17 years and published by Cinedarbaar, was<br />
launched. 'Waves' was the result of extensive<br />
workshops organised by Cinedarbaar and NBT<br />
for school students on creative writing and our<br />
students, Kirti Suri(10C) and Aishwarya<br />
Bajaj(<strong>12</strong>A) were among the privileged few to be<br />
selected for the workshops and later contribute<br />
their literary piece for the book. It is definitely a<br />
proud moment for the students as well as the<br />
school as they become a part of an anthology.<br />
