Smart searching online can make a huge difference in the quality and
relevance of the content our children find on the internet. But it takes a
bit of know-how to improve the chances of getting back the information
they’re looking for.

To help our children search smarter – and waste less time, and help them
search like a pro, we conducted an extended activity titled – ‘A-B-C
Searching’ as part of our Digital Citizenship Program for Students of
Grade 4.

SPOT - Success Path Of Toppers, an interactive session where
Toppers of ICSE Examination - 2019 shared their success stories with
the present batch of Grade 10 students. The session helped our Grade 10

with confidence and ease.

Life as a teacher, begins the day we realise that we are always a learner.

We had organised our very own in-house Digital Professional
Development Programme to prepare our teachers who were aspiring to be
Apple Teachers and to empower them in using iPad in teaching and
learning process. On successful completion of DPD3 and challenges on
Apple Teacher Learning Centre, participants were presented with
Certificate of Merit and Apple Teacher Certificate.

Congratulations Teachers...
