Tree Plantation

When one plants a tree, they plant themselves too. Every root is an anchor over which one rests with grateful interests, and becomes sufficiently calm to feel the joy of living. On 28th August, 2021, the students of the British Co-Ed High School actively participated in a tree plantation drive. The NSS volunteers and the NCC cadets were provided with plant saplings to be planted in a field, in front of the high school. Many saplings were planted with the joint efforts of teachers as well as students. Hence, making our environment a healthier place to live in. Our school has taken such initiatives several times over the years in an attempt to make our surroundings cleaner, greener and also to spread awareness among students about the importance of trees as rightly said, “He who plants a tree, plants a hope for a better tomorrow.”

NCC Activity on Independence Day

Others might have forgotten, But never can I, The flag of my country, flies very high.

Keeping the spirit of Independence Day alive, we tried to maintain the same energy this time through the virtual medium. The great freedom fighters were paid due homage by the students reciting poems and speeches in their honour.

This was further taken up by the students who made elegant and colourful posters for the occasion. Finally, all rose to recite the national anthem together with complete devotion.

AFS Workshop

Our school organized an AFS Virtual Effect+ Workshop for us, which was held on 27th and 29th July after school hours. It was an interactive workshop hosted by Ms. Sarita Bhadwar in the presence of our school’s AFS coordinator Ms. Shalu Seth. Through these communicative sessions, we learned about the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. We were taught about the importance of the change-makers in our society and how each and every individual could become one. We also interacted with Ms. Suyashi Dwivedi, who is the founder of the organization- ‘Free Pustakalaya’ and a well-known changemaker of the society. She is an example for youngsters like us, that we need to be the change we want to see in the world.
Later in the workshop, we shared our point of view about different social problems of the society, from problems like the orthodox mindsets of people pertaining to lack of peace, justice and strong institutions in the world. We discussed what changes we could currently make at the grassroot level to create an impact and a better world that is safer and just. We also participated in quizzes and activities organized by Sarita ma’am to widen our horizons about the UNSDGs. After the workshop, we worked on the tasks assigned to us and submitted them on time. This workshop proved to be a very enlightening and insightful experience. We are looking forward to having more such opportunities that will help us open our eyes towards a world, we are yet to discover.

As civil engineers, we are always taught that a strong and stable foundation is the first step towards erecting a tall skyscraper. Everyone at this school is working tirelessly to assist you in laying that foundation so you can follow your passion in life. Be kind, stay curious, work hard, and don’t be afraid to fail; nobody pays as much attention to your failures as you. And most importantly, don’t forget to have fun along the way.
