Sleepover Activity

Grade IV students at LSHSA had a ‘Sleepover’ activity arranged in December 2022. This was an exciting learning opportunity for both the students and teachers as they got to know each other well. For some of the students, this was the first time they had stayed away from home. It was a great way to build their confidence and be independent in a safe and familiar setting.

FATHER’S DAY

The pre-schoolers of PJHSW celebrated Father’s Day with enthusiasm. The event commenced with students creating greeting cards for their fathers on this special occasion. It was heart-warming to see them share with their fathers, the many ways that they continue to touch their lives every day. Parents appreciated the school’s novel idea, as it nurtures this special bond, and gives the fathers an opportunity to know their children better.

At AKPs, children made handmade cards with the help of the teachers. Also, in a few schools, fathers were invited to the learning centers where they played games along with the kids and clicked photos at the photo booth.
