The C’s that Matter- Professional Development Workshop for Junior School Teachers

On November 1, 2025, the Junior School teachers of Modern High School for Girls attended a workshop as part of the Teachers’ Development Programme. The session, titled-The C’s that Matter was conducted by Mrs. Saba Islam, an educator by passion, a parent coach by profession and an emotional intelligence coach by practice.

Mrs. Islam emphasized the four essential C’s that play a vital role in every classroom — Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication and Collaboration. She spoke about the powerful influence teachers have in shaping the lives of their students and highlighted ways to nurture these skills effectively.

The session was lively and full of hands-on activities that brought laughter, reflection and meaningful discussions. Each activity encouraged us to think differently and helped us understand how to nurture the 4 C’s in our students every day.

The workshop served as a meaningful reminder that as educators, we are not just imparting knowledge but also inspiring young minds to think, create, connect and grow together

Professional Development Session- Nurturing Teachers’ Wellbeing

The insightful session provided a reflective space for educators to focus on their own mental and emotional health—an often overlooked area in our busy schedule. Dr. Ram addressed issues like triggers for stress, coping mechanisms, balancing workload, time management, mindfulness and other factors leading to anxiety, burnout and depression.

The interactive session, enriched with relatable examples and gentle humour was both engaging and eye-opening. It was an enriching experience that reminded us that caring of our students begins with caring for ourselves. As educators, we felt empowered with practical tools, renewed purpose and a deeper understanding of our own well-being.

With muddy hands and bright smiles, these young nature lovers set out on a heartfelt mission—to make their surroundings greener and remind everyone that even the smallest hands can help grow the tallest trees.
With saplings in their hands and smiles on their faces, the Bulbuls planted many trees around the school. Each sapling was a special promise to take care of the Earth.

World Music Day struck a perfect chord on 19th June 2025, filling the air with harmony, rhythm, and boundless joy. It was a day where music wasn’t just heard — it was felt, seen, and celebrated in every vibrant form.

From start to finish, the event was brilliantly conducted by our talented young performers, who took charge with enthusiasm and flair. The program featured soul-stirring songs sung by students and a range of fun, interactive activities that kept everyone grooving.

The body percussion exercises were a big hit, as students and teachers clapped, thumped, and snapped their way into rhythmic patterns using just their bodies. It was a lively reminder that music lives within us all.

Adding a splash of colour to the rhythm, students waved red, white, and blue ribbons in perfect sync with musical cues, transforming the atmosphere into a visual masterpiece.

Our budding musicians proudly showcased their talents on the guitar, mouth organ, violin, flute, and synthesizer, compelling everyone to sing along. A musical quiz conducted by the students further amped up the excitement, testing everyone’s musical IQ in a fun and engaging way.

The celebration was a true testament to the healing power of music — not just for the ears, but for the heart and soul. The day ended on a cheerful note, but the melodies lingered long after the last song was sung.
