A visitor from WalesThe International School Award, ISA, challenge came as a breath of fresh air into our school’s existing curriculum and brought with it, a new approach to learning.

We took a plunge into the projects of the International School Award with all sincerity and truly enjoyed every moment of it. Everyone experienced a heady sense of pride with each small success which ultimately led to an even bigger success.

Once our action plan was approved, apprehension and consternation did prevail in the beginning, but with constant encouragement from our respected principal, we kept surging forward.  Every topic in the action plan started getting life and made the teachers and students realize that there is indeed more to education.

Through this journey we gathered the most priceless wealth of the world - Knowledge and Friends.

We experienced pride when our friends from Wales and Corus visited our school and shared their bounty of knowledge with us and also picked up our values and culture.

Our school children had the exclusive and wonderful opportunity to interact on the net with their counterparts from countries as far flung in the globe as Ghana in Africa, Savannah and Decorah in U.S.A, Sunderland in England, Brazil in South America ….

We are reminded of a few lines from Shri Rabindranath Tagore’s poem.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free, where the world has not been broken into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth ….

Well, I guess, we have achieved his wish only to a miniscule extent but nevertheless a beginning has been made.

Our heartfelt, sincere thanks to the British Council for the invitation to participate in this journey.
