TOPPERS ARTICULATE I am delighted to share that I have secured 98.6% in my class XII board exams – PCM with Economics and Painting. There is no shortcut to studying and preparing for exams. A student has to remain consistent with their studies. I, personally, could achieve consistency through scheduling my work. I would list out the chapters and topics I had to cover till the end of the week. On days I felt more productive, I would finish many topics at once. I focused more on completing the topics thoroughly, rather than calculating the number of hours I had spent studying. I gave my complete attention to the regular chapter-wise tests. This trick lessened my workload TANYA GUPTA (98.6 %)during final preparation. One month prior to the board exams, I completed Class XII (Science) the whole syllabus from NCERT and started solving previous years’ question papers. Moreover, I tried to write my answers as neatly as possible during board exams. I understand the pressure a student feels in the last year of their school life. I hope my methods of studying prove useful. At the end of the day, a student’s satisfaction with their hard work remains the most critical. I would like to thank all my teachers, family and friends for their support. As a kid, I always used to gaze at the board in our school that displays the names of school toppers and used to wonder what made them different from others. And as I grew, I discovered that, to achieve your dreams, one thing you need to make sure is believing in yourself. Unlike others, I never took XII class as a challenge. For me it was just another journey that I had to complete. And that's what made this year, this journey so beautiful. I would like to thank my parents, my teachers, class mates and everyone else who had faith in me and made this journey so special for me. This understanding helped me a lot while preparing and strategizing for BOARD SHAILKA BHATNAGAR exams. Furthermore, I am an ardent supporter of the saying, "practice makes a man perfect". One can simply not achieve their goals through (97.4 %) short-cuts. I believe that we're all sailors battling against the lost and dark Class XII (Commerce) sea waiting for a lighthouse to appear out of nowhere. But little do we know that for a lighthouse to appear, we need to stay determined and follow the right directions.
KHUSHI KATARIA (97 %) Class XII (Humanities) School is an integral part of everyone's life. It teaches us the wrong and the right. I became the class topper in Humanities stream of class XII by scoring 96%. As we all think that class XII is the important class and is supposed to be the hardest too, but in my opinion when you have teachers that are always there to support you and help you, things get very easy. Your class XII result does not depend only on what you've learnt in your higher classes, the process of achieving something great always starts from the ground level. In my case I would give the credit of my achievements to all my teachers from junior and primary classes also. They are the ones who teach you how to write, read and speak which forms the basis of your learning. From the very beginning, I was very determined in my thoughts that I had to score good marks. There were many instances where people told me that it's quite impossible for me to top the class because I was more active in co-curricular activities. But I never let that opinion make me feel demotivated, instead I took it up as a challenge. I wanted everyone to know that you can do both the things simultaneously. You can be good at academics and still achieve so much in co- curriculars. According to me, God has made everyone unique and it's not necessary that all of us have to be good at the same thing. Just like everyone is different, their interests, hobbies and capabilities differ. Everyone may not be good at studies, so what matters is that you are determined towards your aim and your aim will tell you what to do and what not. It will guide you to the right part and you just have to follow your dreams. Thank you.
I would give all the credit of my success to my parents and my teachers. I got a right balance at school and home. I was never pressurized to study all the time before my board exams and I myself also don't believe in falling in the trap of studying 12 hours a day which does nothing but to stress the child. It's important to plan your study and divide the syllabus chapter and topic wise and devote time accordingly with short breaks after regular intervals. I focused on NCERT books, made notes during classes and completed all the assignments given to me by school. Apart from studies, I used to play basketball that helped me to de- NAMAN GOEL stress my mind. I am grateful to my parents for providing the much needed emotional support and my teachers for extending a helping (98 %) hand in academics. CLASS X First of all, I would like to thank God, for always being there with me at every step of my life. Then I would like to thank all who inspired me throughout this journey, my parents, my teachers, and of course my friends. I don't think I could make it to the top without them. Let me start by saying that the key mantra for success is keeping it spontaneous and turning it gradually. The reason I am saying this is not because it worked for me but because it is a fact. Believe me, you would not have the last-minute panic if you are prepared well in advance. I would like to tell all the class X aspirants to set their goals from the beginning, learn to manage their time and try to be consistent in performance by working hard from the very first day and without taking mid-terms and pre-boards lightly. Give your full concentration RHYTHM GARG in class, trust me that will serve half the purpose. Make good notes so that you can revise them especially when the exams are drawing near. (98 %) CLASS X Make a revision strategy (utmost important). Stay motivated! Last but not the least, remember, you are studying in the best school of Gurgaon, with the best mentors so success will definitely come to your feet.

COUNSELLING SESSIONS The recurring virtual classes, assignments, projects all take a toll both on the learner and the mentor thereby increasing the stress levels in both. learners specially have to remain contented by learning artistic skills and sports online instead of enjoying the lush green school ground where they were able to run around freely. To help students dealing with all these issues, counselling sessions were organized for VI to VIII to make them stay focused and disciplined

MY GREEN PLATTER To reinforce the importance of fruits/ green vegetables specially for children, an English Speaking activity was planned for the little ones. The children were asked to present a 'Pre- prepared green platter' along with 'Table layout.' In the presentation, the children were asked to speak about the 'ingredients' used and how they have prepared it. The children presented their platter so beautifully and confidently.

It was an interesting and exciting activity for children as they got an opportunity to showcase their sensitivity and creativity in the form of poem or poster.
VIRTUAL TRIP TO SCHOOL School is a place where a child learns so many things at one place. During this pandemic, educators felt that children are missing their school the most. They love to be in the school, to be with their friends, sharing things with each other etc. So, educators decided to plan a virtual trip to school as an introductory activity of the Chapter – My School. They captured each and every corner of the school and converted that into a beautiful video. Children really loved that virtual trip to school and gripped in nostalgia, a few of them got emotional after watching it. It was really a nice surprise for them. ORIGAMI ACTIVITY The online session was conducted to make students aware about the basic needs of humans. It began with the brainstorming by students on the basic needs of life .Educators asked a few questions on the topic 'Shelter' followed by an Origami Activity. They truly enjoyed the activity of “house making with an Origami”.
NEW INITIATIVES GOOGLE CLASSROOM Classrooms were created for each subject and the codes were shared with the parents. Students submitted their holiday homework first and now they are uploading home assignments weekly. Teachers are supposed to do corrections and return the same. SPINNER WHEEL ON FLIPPITY Educators created a wheel of students' names to give equal chance of participation to each student. Every child has an equal chance of being picked up each time when an educator spins the wheel. This was being used to create an excitement in the class and it helped the educators to choose students randomly. SNOWMAN GAME This game was introduced to enhance vocabulary and work on the spellings of difficult words. The educator helped the learners to play the game of recognizing words and their spellings. The learners started by guessing the words on the basis of hints given by the educators.
QUIZZIZ Quizziz is an online assessment tool that allows teachers to create and use quizzes in the classroom. After providing students with a unique access code, a quiz can be used as a homework with a specific deadline. Teachers use quiz as an assessment tool in the classroom and also as a home assignment. Educators used it for revisions also. Parents really appreciated it and asked for more such practice as children are able to grasp the concepts rapidly through quizzes. GREAT INVENTIONS We all are aware that necessity is the mother of invention. Necessity when blends with ideas, imagination, creativity, motivation, hard work and will power leads to great inventions. To open the gates of knowledge and to turn on the explore mode, an interesting activity was planned for the little ones. The whole class was divided into two groups on the basis of the assigned topics- Old Inventions and New Inventions. They were asked to select and make presentation on any one of the given topics using a self-made small model. Children came up with such an amazing work and presented it so nicely. Brimming with confidence, they shared new and interesting information with each other. Through such activities, children not only learn a lot of new things from each other but it also helps them to build a strong bond as well
EXUBERANT EXPRESSIONS THORNS A rose defines beauty She knew the thorns will overcome A rose defines grace All it's beauty and the pleasent Stunned by perfection smell She stands there in haze But thorns were worth bleeding for She thinks she'll pick that rose As they didn't leave, when the Over that diamond ring petals fell. Fragrance of that beauty Makes her heart sing But she replaced all the flowers With the empty, paper ones "I'll keep it forever" As the fake ones will stay Those are her beautiful lies Everyday when the sun comes She feeds her false truths She knows she's hypnotized In this world of make believe People have chosen fake It sits still inside the vase Maybe just to numb tha pain Air getting heavier with days That keeps them wide awake For perfection to freez right there That's what her choking heart Letting go is hard prays But holding on is harder There's no salt in her tears She throws the dead rose Or maybe it's just water With empty promises and regret And buries the ashes of perfection With beauty getting old Cause beauty, is not perfect. And silvers getting grey Maybe she just wanted to know How things look when they stay.. AVNEE (Class XI)
DURING THE LOCKDOWN Standing near the hill Came a cloud Smiling at me With Voice so loud Asking me to sing a new life Come ,Take my hand, and let's fly To new horizons where no one cries A unique utopia with beautiful nights River dancing down from a height Into Serene valleys with wonderful sights Rushed through the window of the open sky And wondered who am I Who altered dear nature ur beautiful face With vivid hues and blissful grace Amritansh (Class X)
