Chairperson

Navrachana Education Society

A Man of True Steel

It is 150 years since the man was born. It is more than 70 years since he stopped three bullets in their track and breathed his last with the name of Rama on

his lips.

Why does this old, old man engage us, even today? Not just us, the whole world, in fact. What made this non-descript Gujjubhai from Porbandar go off to

England in the late 19th century to study law and then move to the apartheid-torn South Africa to begin his legal practise?

The story of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi continues to fascinate us as different aspects of his personality, the way he thought and worked, are revealed

through his writings and through the writing of others on the man. The vision he had for India, nay mankind actually, is reinforced time and again – that nonviolence

is the only way forward, as is the brotherhood of Man, and respect for all living beings on earth. His belief that ‘Nature has enough for Man’s need

but not for Man’s greed’ is the most succinct and practical response to the mess with the environment that the world has got itself in.

This year, NISV has concentrated on the very relevant teachings of our Father of the Nation. I think we could not have chosen a better theme to ground our

students in this strange year that has taken everyone by an unpleasant surprise, a surprise that continues even today.

th

The academic year 2019-20 was dedicated to celebrate the life and times of the Father of the Nation on the occasion of the Mahatma's 150 birth

anniversary. This was an opportune moment for the school to reflect on his life, the freedom struggle and his “experiments with truth”. The school thus

embarked on a journey of discovering the Mahatma. During the year, various activities like quizzes, plays and debates facilitated a deeper understanding of

the meaning of freedom, non-violence, truth, cleanliness and untouchability. This culminated in the staging of a biopic “Mohandas to the Mahatma”

scripted, directed, enacted and produced by the staff and over a 1000 students during the Annual Concert. The standing ovation by the audience at the end

of the concert was not only a recognition and acknowledgement of the stellar performance of the students but also a tribute to the Mahatma and the

relevance and sway he still holds in our lives.

The words of the Mahatma, “Be the change you want to see…” took all the more significance and reverberated more so as we were ending the academic

year. With the pandemic throwing all our lives out of gear, the new normal required each member of the school community to adapt and embrace the many

changes beckoning us. We all had to, inter alia, make those sometimes drastic and dramatic changes in lifestyle, attitudes, thinking, learning and being, not

only for our own survival and growth but also for the sake of humankind. The onus of changing had to start with each one of us first. And so despite the

doom and gloom around, we ended the academic year on a high note. Although we missed one of the most important events of our academic calendar, the

experiential learning opportunity through the “NISV Outbound” that took us to different parts of our country, we quickly took things in our stride and

positively adapted to the virtual learning environment and ensured that learning at NISV never stopped.

Our Board examination results were outstanding for 2019-20. In the International curriculum section we had one of our students scoring the first ever

perfect 45/45 score in the Diploma programme and another student being declared the All India Topper in Coordinated Sciences in the IGCSE examinations.

In the National curriculum section, one of our students scored 98% in Gr.12 CBSE AISSCE and another scored 98.6% in the Gr. 10 CBSE AISSE. The Year Book

acknowledges these high standards set by our students across the different curricula offered and celebrates the learning footprint of each and every

student in the school.

I would also like to acknowledge and commend the Year Book team for weaving every page of this Yearbook so creatively, painstakingly and meticulously.

To the students of NISV whose faces dot every page, let the words of the Mahatma that also find an echo in our school song “ …the world is out there

waiting for someone to make a change…” spur us on to stay positive and grasp the opportunities for change the pandemic has presented to us.

Another wonderful year passes by, leaving its trails of reminiscences and joy,

giving students new wings to fly, and reach their potential, oh so high!

It is rather true when they say that the beautiful experiences of the past can never be revived;

however they can always be relived, bringing about those wishful smiles and nostalgic

recollections. The yearbook of 2019-2020 encapsulates the ideas of self-development, expression

and growth that NISV encourages its students to inculcate; through a collection of delightful

snippets brought together for all those, “a- trip -down –the- memory -lane” moments. With the

promise of upholding our school motto and thereby educating, enlightening and empowering our

community, it has been gratifying to witness our students, teachers and educators metamorphose

into better versions of themselves and grow from the challenges this year end has delivered. From

preparing an ode to the Father of our Nation through enchanting skits and vibrant colors as part of

our annual concert to staging our traditional NISV funfair games and dances, we have left no stone

unturned in showcasing what a united community and determined mindset can do. The editorial

team hence wishes to bring to you these wistful reminiscences to remind us of our triumphs and

prepare us for the upcoming year full of exhilaration and elation! After all, “memories are simply

moments that refuse to be ordinary”.

A

MESSAGE

FROM

THE PTA

This year we all have undergone a life changing experience due to COVID-19. Since the Spanish Flu of

1918, the world has not seen a pandemic of this scale. With no medicine or vaccine to stop the spread of

the virus the government was quick in locking down the country due to which the school had to shut

prematurely before the summer vacation. Rather than curtail the education for the term, NISV rose to the

challenge and was the 1st in Vadodara to start online learning for all grades via Google Classroom.

The use of electronic devices for daily schoolwork was already on the rise for the last years but with the

advent of mass online learning it has now become a necessity and a saviour for our children’s

uninterrupted formal education.

We, the PTA executive committee members on behalf of all the school children's parents appreciate the

school and in particular the teachers for actively engaging and teaching our kids during this trying time by

prioritising teaching from their home over their own personal responsibility towards their families.

Viraaj Jhaveri

IB PYP Coordinator

Purna Ganesh

Assit. IB PYP Coordinator

Phil Jackson's quote – "The

strength of the team is each

individual member. The strength

of each member is the team",

epitomizes the IBDP Team of NISV.

The year began on a high note

with good IBDP 2019 Results, with

Pranshu and Kairav leading with

42 points out of 45, followed by

Vivan Patel with 41 points. Well

done students! Well done

teachers!

The diligent work by IBDP students

in organizing NIMUN 9, Teachers'

Day Celebration, the school Fun

Fair "LUMIЀRES DU MONDE" to

name a few, is worth mentioning.

This academic year, 5 students

escorted by Ms. Pooja Paliwal,

went to the International School

of the Stockholm Region (ISSR)

Sweden, under the student

exchange programme. This trip

was reciprocated by 5 students

and 2 teachers from ISSR visiting

NISV in January 2020. This year,

the students from ISSR stayed with

the host families. This partnership

has motivated us to make a lasting

and positive contribution to the

enrichment of both!

T h e y e a r 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 w a s a

momentous year. The IGCSE

results were a testimony to the

dedication of the students and the

relentless efforts of the teachers.

E- Learning through tablets gained

momentum and was accelerated

by the teachers' efforts in

introducing the teaching- learning

process in innovative ways.

The students' engagement with

various disciplines through inter -

school competitions and interdisciplinary

activities like Book

Reading Day, MYP Conclave and

Food Festival, gave them the

much-needed impetus to hone

their ATL skills.

MYP teachers from all the

disciplines attended the Job-Alike

MYP workshop at Mumbai. These

interactive sessions empowered

the teachers to further enhance

their teaching -learning practices.

The academic year 2019-20 was

an eventful year and went by in a

jiffy. The students were engaged

in new and exciting ways of

learning and took part in many fun

activities, right from exploring the

school for the early year students

to pop up bazaar, fancy dress,

group dance and salad making.

Our PYP teachers honed their skills

by brain-storming the new PYP

documents together.

The pandemic caught us unawares

and we had to move out of our

comfort zones and learn new skills

to conduct lessons virtually. We

managed to organise the PYP

Grade 5 exhibition virtually, which

was a fantastic display of research,

interviews, Ted talks, and

advertisements by the students

on the topic “Media and Us”. Our

Pre- Primary concert “Namaste

India” & the Senior Concert

“Mohandas to Mahatma” were

hugely appreciated.

I would like to extend my sincere

thanks to all the parents for their

whole-hearted support.

Another successful year is what I

conclude as I reflect upon all the

wonderful activities and learning

experiences our PYP students

were engaged in, during the

academic year 2019-20. Our new

batch of nursery students

adjusted in no time in their new

classrooms and got comfortable

with their teachers and peers. The

year was packed, as we always had

something to look forward to, in

both PYP and the Pre- Primary

s e c t i o n . T h a n k s t o t h e

commitment and the hard work of

all our wonderful teachers who

are always upgrading themselves

and providing diverse and

interesting education. Our

m o n t h l y a c t i v i t i e s w e r e

conducted with perfection, be it

the cooking experience, treasure

hunt, quiz, projects, group dance,

celebrations, sports day and many

more!! There was always a spirit of

enthusiasm and the students

enjoyed every moment of their

learning in school. The highlight of

the academic year was our Pre-

Primary Annual Concert “Namaste

India” which was beautifully

executed by our little ones.

Vijayalakshmi Nair

CBSE HS Coordinator

A new batch of students is

like a breath of fresh air. It

is the dynamic mindset of

these blossoming learners

and their thought process

that energizes us - the

educators. I believe, this is

what adds allure to this

profession.

Children evolve, flourish

and get future - ready.

Remember, your dream is

your signature !

Anagha Pathak

CBSE Coordinator

'Every child deserves to be the best of

what he /she is'

School is that integral part of society

which is an instrument of achieving this

goal. The goal of education at NISV is to

'Educate, Enlighten and Empower'- such

learning and values that will benefit

society and the workplace with the

presence of these individuals.

NISV endeavors to augment the

personality of each child and bring out

their inherent qualities through years of

schooling which include varied activities

as sports, dance and music, arts, , annual

concerts , student council and funfair

which aid in the discovery of such

talents.

It gives me immense pride to share that

the students of NISV CBSE have emerged

victorious in the grade 10 CBSE board

examination for the academic year

2019-2020. We had the highest overall

percentage the school has seen ( 98.6

%). We also had 5 students scoring a

perfect 100 in 3 different subjects. Kudos

to all my colleagues for making the

school proud .

To the students, I convey this message:

Dream big and work towards your goal.

Rashmi Ravindranath

CBSE Assit. Coordinator

(Grades 4-6)

“Learning is not the product of

teaching. Learning is the product

of the activity of learners” - John

Holt

The goal of 21st Century

education is to create life-long

learners. Fixed procedures for

teaching are insufficient because

learning is not a one-way process.

Our focus is the learner-and

learning-centered practices that

cater to the diversity, as well as the

unique talents of each student.

Through various curricular and cocurricular

activities throughout

the year, we tried to ensure that

students were engaged in

productive and meaningful

activities that helped them strive

towards independent learning

and academic success.

Ritika Nagpal

CBSE Assit. Coordinator

(Grades 1-3)

The year 2019-20 was eventful

and engaging. The objective was

to provide all necessary care and

impart knowledge to the young

minds. Catering to their cognitive,

linguistic, physical, social and

emotional development was

paramount. The year's focus

areas were group behaviour and

self-discipline and for the same

reason, introducing them to

meditation, circle time and

happiness classes proved to be

advantageous. I wish this

enthusiastic lot of students a

happy and healthy life ahead.

An academic year that saw our

ERP rising from a new and

intimidating software to a

widely used resource to

m a n a g e t h e c r u c i a l

i n f o r m a t i o n o f o u r

organization. We also finalized

our commitment with Seqrite

MDM, a tool that helped us

manage our students’ tablets

while in school and at home.

The coming year is going to see

the birth of a more streamlined

approach where our joint

efforts - Parent - Teacher -

Technology will provide our

students with a platform to

learn how to use technology in

education. Finally, I would like

t o a c k n o w l e d g e t h e

contribution of our Staff, who

rose to the occasion and

prepared, learnt and trained

others in the use of online

platforms that have proven to

be a lifeline during these

unprecedented times.

In the year 2019-20 our aim was to

encourage a healthy and active

lifestyle throughout the school

body, nurture sportsmanship in all

aspects of competition, widen

e a c h s t u d e n t ' s s p o r t i n g

experience and enjoyment and

create a passion for active

recreation and sport. It gives me

immense satisfaction to have

achieved this. It was also gratifying

to see students develop their

competence and confidence as

they developed a wide range of

skills to use tactics, strategies and

compositional ideas to perform

successfully.

This year we witnessed a long

monsoon with heavy downpours

and their associated problems but

the Department rose to the

challenge and ensured the

smooth functioning of the school.

On one such occasion, a staff

member monitored the safety of

the students until late at night and

stayed on until the last student

was dropped home safely.

Commendable, indeed!

The Department played its role in

ensuring the smooth functioning

of the school.

Sometimes the pathway dictates that the process comes down to hard work, rather than inspiration, but teaching is all about the rapport between a teacher

and a pupil, more than anything else.

Teaching English language, after all, is about a fruitful engagement in getting children to conceptualize, understand, relate, connect and apply their

language abilities in the spoken and written context relevant to the need of the hour.

Our team of English teachers have been facilitating and guiding students for all IHAs, State level and National Level competitions which include debates,

“The Only way to learn Mathematics is to do Mathematics"

This year's focus has been on Mathematical knowledge taking the center stage in the regular school curriculum. To instil

analytical and logical thinking among students and to promote Mathematical thought as an important area of human

thought, various subject- enrichment activities are being designed. Also, to add to the creation and creativity of the

students, the Department of Mathematics conducts many engaging and interesting activities through the year. And in the

same light, for the fifth consecutive year we conducted the Virtual Mathmania: an inter- school math- based quiz

competition. Although a challenging event for the entire Math Department, like every year, it turned out to be a huge

success. The enthusiasm and excitement of the participants make the hard work worth it. The new feature added to

Mathmania this year was the short videos made by students explaining the presence of Mathematics all around us. The

spectrum of rounds during the competition provided a platform to the students to exhibit their mathematical abilities,

computational fluency, analytical thinking and quantitative aptitude. Thus, in this manner the Department aims to pursue

excellence in Mathematics through engaging our students not only in the classrooms but also beyond it. We are achieving

our objectives with the help of significantly experienced faculties. The team work of the Department is highly appreciated.

Another noteworthy achievement this year has been the excellent performance of 5 students of grade 10 scoring 100% in

Mathematics in the CBSE board examinations in the academic year 2019-2020. Kudos to the students and teachers!

Success lined with highs and lows marked the academic journey. We lost a very important member, Mr. Piyush Patel, whose

contribution towards the smooth functioning of all the labs was commendable. May his soul rest in peace. The laboratory

was revamped and an impressive team spirit was brought to light with the teachers surpassing expectations. High end

designing of projects such as verifying Doppler Effect, creating of Mesocosm, a variety of irrigation systems and high end

chemistry projects took place in the labs. Students from the PYP to the DP breezed in and out of the labs for demonstrations

and hands- on learning. The link between theory and practical was visibly narrowed as students were able to learn concepts

in the sciences.

Equipped with new tools like PhET simulations, Ptable.com and Flipgrid, the science teachers began the virtual classroom

with enthusiasm and dedication.

The crowning glory was Dr. Ritu Shukla being selected as a Biology Workshop leader for the IBDP. Keep up the scientific

temperament!

Every student starts out as a natural-born scientist. It is our attempt, as Science Educators, to encourage student enquiry,

feed their curiosity, and deepen their understanding of scientific concepts. It is a matter of pride to have well- equipped

laboratories in our school which form an integral part of the teaching and learning process. The latest teacher-training

techniques place a greater emphasis on pedagogy and classroom practice as another way to improve science, technology,

engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. We do believe that the development of the Next Generation Science will

entail the use of technology and virtual learning will be the norm of the day.

Grade 9 (MYP 4) put a pop up bazaar- Bake and Sale which was a runaway success with the eateries being sold out in no

The IB students from grade 9-12 participated in an online trading competition organized by Wharton High School,

Another action-packed year has come to an end. A year full of new challenges, experiences and achievements.

Congratulations must go to our students; without them our school would not be what it is. Throughout the year we have

watched them open their hearts and minds to the joy of learning, discover their strengths, develop their skills and

identify their passions. Whether it be Pitch Perfect business plan challenge, Jio Vichaar business model challenge or biz

quiz, our students have continually demonstrated and modelled our school values. Well done Kids! You should feel

extremely proud of all that you have accomplished.

The objective of the Department of Modern Languages is to prepare students to explore the target culture and to be

able to communicate effectively with the natives of the target culture in various situations. The Department focuses on

developing students' communication skills and inter-cultural understanding.

This has been a great year for the Modern Languages Department. Students exhibited their proficiency in the language

through participation in various programs. Nukkad Natak, poems and songs are always applauded. A German Theatre

group visited our school this year; artists performed a play and conducted a workshop for the students learning

German in our school. Another feather in the cap is our collaboration with a French school for a students' exchange

program.

The academic year 2019-20 has been yet another landmark year in the field of language education at NISV. Our

academic year's endeavor was to facilitate the Hindi language teaching-learning process more dynamic and make it an

engaging one. We have also made a very productive and effective use of digital learning aids to further enhance the

students's vocabulary building skills and language proficiency. Flip-classrooms have proved to be highly fruitful and

interesting for students. The Department of Hindi was thriving with activities like Hindi Super Speller, Hindi Diwas

celebrations, National and Cultural festival celebrations and class assemblies. Lastly, I appreciate my team of dynamic

and highly creative teachers for their relentless efforts and enthusiasm in making all the events a great success.

were deliberated upon by the teachers. This year, the teachers have included in their teaching process, this relevant topic

which is vital for the newer generations, as they will have to deal with this kind of technology just as we dealt with the

advancement of online resources. Our teachers have taken part in seminars and trainings on the topic. Our computer labs

have been equipped with some software that will provide the teachers and students with an environment to dive into AI.

The hostel children have enjoyed a homely atmosphere and learnt life skills and values through activities like Boarders' Personality Development, Best out

of Waste, Health and Hygiene education.

The boarders had several opportunities to mingle with their peers and enjoy an easy camaraderie that makes their boarding a memorable one.

In the absence of their families, their friends become their families, offering moral and emotional support, thus bolstering their well-being and fostering

their self-reliance.

It was heart-warming to see them build a relationship of unity and trust, extending a helping hand in case of difficulty. There were also moments threatening

to break into conflicts, but they were easily resolved and life at the hostels chugged along on well-oiled wheels!

Grade 5A was a bunch of extraordinary students who were into sports, drama, art,

music and every other activity of which they could be part of-whether it was at the

inter-school or intra-school level. The class exuded a positive energy and warmth

to which no one was immune. My message for this wonderful group is-

“Draw a crazy picture, Write a nutty poem,

Sing a mumble-jumble song, Whistle through your comb.

Do a loony-goony dance 'cross the kitchen floor,

Put something silly in the world, That ain't been there before.”

So many new faces- all curious, energetic, friendly and with radiant smiles, ready

to begin yet another landmark of the school journey by stepping into MYP. The

academic year 2019-2020 has been a memorable one as it gave me a wonderful

experience of watching you all grow into smart, responsible and capable young

individuals with a hint of naughtiness in those eyes but, still caring. Morning

classroom assemblies and last ten minutes of homeroom with you all are some of

the irreplaceable moments of the year. Not to forget, teaching you all the

complicated scientific terms like “Coelenterates, Mitochondria, Deoxyribonucleic

acid, etc. “ and then asking you all to pronounce them !

Thank you for all the laughter and the joy that you have brought into my life.

As a take away from this academic year, I want them to remember that success

looks different to different people. Their success might look different than their

friends simply because everyone has different strengths and has to overcome

different challenges. I truly believe that each one has immense potential to be

successful in whatever they choose to be.

There may be nine gems in this world; I was blessed with 33 in my class!

IN RETROSPECT

High school .... the word was always a mixture of sweet and bitter, happiness and sorrow, pain and pleasure. Like everything in life, school

was a grey area and not a black and white picture. Being introduced to a new school is always a little challenging but at the same time, it's

also refreshing because you get to make a brand new image about yourself and no one can call you out on that. For me, the challenge was

heightened because of my awkward introverted behaviour. And I'll be lying if I said that sometimes I wished I was back at my old school.

But as I navigated through the hallways, I was determined to make a good impression. Looking back, i don't know if I achieved my goal but

I'll tell you this - it was a memorable journey.

Ishita Shah, IB , NISV

I always keep on asking myself on the real purpose of school, what good does it really do? Until now.

But now NISV has made me crystal clear on the real purpose of school as I see myself as the transformation, it not only provides

knowledge but also an insight into the social awareness to provide direction and energy for learning, the school has done it and teachers

have always provided me WATER whenever needed to reflect in myself as the BLOSSOM FLOWER.

School life was the Golden age,

It was like a treasure I found in a cage.

Kargi Chauhan, IB, NISV

When I initially took upon IB, ironically, I had felt more at ease with understading my subjects however as time went by, it started to

become increasingly difficult as I fully comprehended the distinguishable and eclectic nature of IB and the experience aided me in

gaining a perspective outside of the curated categories of science, commerce and humanities. It gave me a finite yet deep outlook on the

importance of applying the knowledge instead of simply acquring it.

Ashita Shah, IB, NISV

I can't believe it has been 16 years. I vaguely remember my first day in school, possibly the only day I cried because I had to go to school.

Like for any other student, the school has been a rollercoaster ride. NISV has molded me into the person I am right now. I will definitely

miss wasting my time in the libraries, the fun quarrels during Dipannita ma'am's lessons, and the group discussions with my classmates to

find loopholes in instructions! It is not that I have finished my school I realize how important NISV has been and how I will miss it.

Thankyou,

Paridhi Mistry, IB, NISV

Navrachana International School, Vadodara, a name I'm never going to forget! I joined the school 8 years ago, a clueless American kid

entering a new world where everything would change. However, the change came easily due to the constant nurturing by my teachers

and peers, which molded me into the young adult I am today!

From contending with CBSE for bragging rights, to evading Jyoti Ma'am on a daily basis for a new act of mischief – we've done it all. I've

made a set of irreplaceable friends throughout this journey who made my years at NISV unforgettable!

No doubt 2020 has been a year against us, but it has made us into stronger individuals ready to tackle the world! This year has shown me

that the Batch of 2020 will fight our way through the hard times and emerge victorious together! NISV has shown me the power of unity,

and I'm very grateful for the same!

Cheers!

IN RETROSPECT

The IBDP batch of 2020 is a crazy, dysfunctional family that defines the true meaning of unity in the good, the bad, and the worse. Be it the

funfair or the group 4 project, the entire class came together for every event with copious amounts of bickering, arguments, teasing and

healthy competition. I will miss Sunatcha's questions in Bio, Trushna ma'am's savage replies, all the early mornings spent in the English

hub before NIMUN, the boys vs girls bickering in Maths Studies- but most importantly, qualities I developed as an IB Learner that I will

cherish for life. I am immensely grateful for all the unique memories we made over the course of these two years. And I would not have it

any other way.

Aashna Pandya, IB, NISV

By far the last two years of my school life were such a bittersweet experience for me but as people say 'Tough times make you grow

stronger'; these experiences helped me overcome many of my fears and encouraged me to discover my strengths while giving me

numerous opportunities to explore myself further. The IB Diploma Programme was much more intense than I expected it to be, but

looking back, I don't regret choosing it. However, there were times when stage fear reached its peak as I had to speak in front of the entire

school in the assembly. Although it was extremely nerve-wracking for me at that time, it helped me to conquer my stage fear. Apart from

this, NISV taught me to be disciplined as well as the habit of helping others, especially in our IAs. Group 4 project taught me leadership

and collaborative skills. Working on my EE required a lot of hard work, but I was lucky enough to have Lily ma'am as my supervisor who

helped me academically as well as morally. She continually conveyed the message of self-belief, setting goals, and reaching those goals

without personal compromise which is one of the most important lessons I have learned in life. Moreover, I was not the most regular

student, but my teachers always seemed to believe in me that I can improve. Overall, NISV has provided me many opportunities, and

incidents which have taught me varied lessons. But looking back, all those memories, lessons, and mistakes have led me to become a

much better person today, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life.

IN RETROSPECT

Navrachana wasn't just a school it was a lifetime and my 15 years with it were my little infinity. They overflowed with memories of

laughter, successes, failures and the strong sense of belonging. Whether it be cheering for my house or laughing together on a class joke

or fighting over that last piece of paneer, I found my home and my people here. This school has given me so much and over the years i

have strived to give as much back. All this would be incomplete if not for my various teachers, one taught me fractions and the other life’s

lessons, but because of them I have become what I am today. I leave with my head held high with memories and the belief that i can do

anything and be anything I put my mind to. The home I have found here will forever be my happy place making me nostalgic when i think

of it.

Kashvi Shah, 12 A CBSE

They say the best things in life come unexpectedly and NISV was one of them. In 2015, when I first set foot in the vibrant corridors of the

school, little did I know over the next 5 years this place would become like a home away from home. NISV has made me grow, honed my

skills, provided me with the finest mentorship from the best teachers one could ask for and introduced me to peers who are now no less

than a family. It is extremely hard to encapsulate the truckload of memories NISV has given me, and as I make my way through the final

lap of this twelve year long marathon, all I could say is how grateful and lucky I consider myself to be. Through all the ups and downs,

happiness and sorrow, success and failure, my teachers stood as a pillar of strength and my friends lent a shoulder.

These days will forever be engraved in my heart and I wish to do my school proud someday.

Amolika Kumar, Grade 12 CBSE

Two years of 6 am wake ups, drowsy morning classes, and last minute dashes to class. Two years of friendships and fleeting attachments,

and the laughter and the pain and the joy that came with it. Two years of stress and anxiety, of all-nighters. On the whole, it's been one

heck of a journey, a journey that has moulded and shaped us all into the person we've become today, no matter how much we might not

wish to admit it.

It's hard to know what to expect when you first arrive in high school. My mind was bombarded with an endless swarm of nagging

questions. What if I find the classes difficult? What if I get lost and can't find my way around campus? What if I make no friends? What if

nobody likes me? It seems like it will just never end, and that the memories you take with you will only be the most major and principal

moments. As I've grown older, I've come to realize that time passes much quicker with every year, and that the days, months, and years

seem to pass before you can even register them happening. I keep wondering if I've done enough to make myself the best person I can, to

be kind and thoughtful to others, and if I've experienced everything I've wanted to .

And I know I won't remember everything that I did here, and that sometime down the road I'll eventually look at the faces of my

classmates in the Yearbook and forget their names, and that they'll do the same to me.

‘I wish there was a way to know that you're in “The Good Old days” before you've actually left them' – Andy, The Office

Harsha Jhamtani, 12 CBSE

I could fill out pages remembering the wonderful journey I had at NISV. Looking back at myself five years ago, I would've never imagined

such a shy and introverted girl to grow into something completely different. NISV provided a sense of belongingness and a feeling just like

home. The genuine support, love and care provided by my teachers and peers made me a strong individual. Throughout my life I have

shifted through more than 8 schools, but none have provided the nurturing and vibrant atmosphere that I have received here. It's not

everyday that you get to go to a school with amazing peers, tutors, mentors and the most comfortable uniforms on the planet, cherish

the moments you have. Thank you NISV for welcoming me warmly, challenging me when required, encouraging me towards my goals,

providing opportunities for me to grow and giving me so many memories, lessons and values that have shaped me into the person I am

today.

LIFE AT BOARDING

Boarders are more independent than other children of their age. They

perform all their tasks by themselves. They have to take care of their

belongings, and they find solutions to their problems by themselves. This

improves their decision-making quality.

Boarding school provides a better academic environment to the students than

the day scholars. They complete their homework at the allotted time. Besides,

in case of any difficulty they are able to advantage of their seniors and their

teachers.

Hostel life provides an environment of easy camaraderie. The Boarders live

together and interact with each other. When required, they help each other

and maintain a sense of brotherhood which is so unique to boarding life.

A virtual exhibition entitled, 'Media and Us' was the culmination to the PYP

programme to explore the impacts of print, electronic and social or digital

media. NISV walls were covered in graffiti proclaiming the detrimental effects of

excessive media on our mental health and well-being. The primary graders also

CAS

Being an active participant in CAS has

ensured my holistic development and I see a

relatively exponential growth in areas such

as physical agility, connection with my

community and developing a new hobby.

CAS served as an outlet for me to explore my

hidden passion for cooking. Throughout my

long term experience I have learnt to cook

plenty of my favourite dishes and dabble

into dishes that I previously would have

never contemplated making

CAS

I believe that the CAS activity is an excellent

method by which to create conscientious

students. Conscientious of their societies,

their environment and themselves. Without

a compulsory program like this one, the

limited time that an IB student does get

would potentially be wasted in leisurely

activities. In this way, the IB in ensuring a

future generation of extremely time-efficient

students. It is although through the CAS

program that I believe that students will

mature into responsible world citizens. I

learnt a lot about respect and gratitude and

my social skills exponentially grew. I am now

able to immerse into conversation with

anyone about a wide array of topics. I believe

that one of the most valuable elements of

performing CAS activities is their real-life

applications. These skills that I learned

throughout CAS will be of tremendous use to

me in the future, wherever I go! For instance,

Divyang Dost taught me empathy towards
