Koffee with parents

22.6.12 was a day meant for ‘KOFFEE with Parents’ at Orchids. ‘Parents of Orchids, Hyderabad’ attended the interactive session which started with Principal, Ms. Mona Mehdi’s introductory, informative and promising address.  Orchids’s Mission and Vision, its Philosophy, Policies and Rules, activities and constant endeavours to progress were detailed.

Ethical and moral values always have a predominant importance while pursuing technology-oriented education. Traditional and modern ideas go hand in hand in imparting education. Orchids is a certified Cambridge school and follows CBSE curriculum from classes VI-X.

 The report on the recent achievements of Orchidians, as in Olympiad contests, was very impressive.

The PowerPoint presentation by the Principal gave tips on parenting and advised parents to spend quality and quantity time with their children. They need to encourage their child to cultivate reading habit and motivate the child to offer a book with the child’s name, year and class written, to the school library on his/her birthday.

Parental cooperation in all the events and activities is quite essential and Orchids looks forward to it.  Parents need to encourage their children to grab opportunities and participate in all the programmes, activities and competitions which gradually improve their skills and performance.

Mr. S. Raj Kumar, Regional Manager and Mr. Kameshwara Rao, SAT Executive of South India, Kokuyo Camlin ltd. gave a demonstration of how painting can be made easy. Painting, just as any art, requires interest, patience and guidance and the experts motivated the viewers to learn the art.

A few students of class IX displayed their skills of Rubik’s cube to the delight of the audience.

The Session impressed the audience and closed with the nomination of Parent Representatives for all the classes who can be supportive and contribute ideas for the school’s progress. The session ended with another beginning!

World Music Day

Music expresses a way that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.                                                                                                                -Victor Hugo   

World Music day, also known as ‘La Fete de la Musique’, was a festival that began in 1982. The idea was conceived by the French Minister of culture, Jack Lang, in 1982. Since then 21st June has been celebrated every year as the Music Day.

The students of Orchids-The International school had a great opportunity to showcase their musical talent on the stage during the Assembly on 21-06-2013.

Niranjan  of class X performed on an electronic guitar and Subhasree of class IX on a classical Guitar and the keyboard was played by their Music Instructor Mr. Samuel

The group rendered a National song ‘Vandemataram’ both in Western and Classical style.

The song on delights of music sung by the school choir was accompanied by Guitars (Electrical and Classical) and Keyboard. The song is in Praise of God by Nature in its own sense of music and we join it in our own sense of music.

It was really a delightful conclusion of the musical performance of the day.
