“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we were just having fun”

Such was the scenario at St. Xavier’s High School. The bright faces, the blooming smiles….Oh! It was a pleasure watching those happy faces.

The happiness was because of the fun-filled trip organised to Kidzania Noida. A total of  256 students enjoyed the fun-filled trip. Kidzania offered a variety of  activities as a learning opportunity to the students. The place had a series of planned learning by doing. A platform which enabled the students to get insight of the profession. The students enacted as ‘Judge’ and declared the judgment, the opponents had defence lawyers to protect themselves, the students became the rescue rangers and rescued people from the fire, playing the fire extinguishing team. They also realized the importance of medicines and treatments by playing the role of a doctor. To add more fun to the trip, they had live workshops wherein the students learnt to bake their own pizza and made frooti from the mango pulp. The students also learnt to ramp walk and had put up a fashion show.

The idea behind the trip was to give a lifetime experience of various professions which would help them to choose the direction for their future and lend a helping hand to their parents as they could understand their contribution.

Children enjoyed savory meals and had a gala time grooving to the foot tapping dance numbers.

The day concluded with a pride march in the Character Parade by the SMURFS.

The students did not want the day to end as they couldn’t have enough of it.

It is not how much we have, but how we enjoy, that makes happiness.   

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.”… Keeping this in our spirits and 

to bring out the creative talent of our students, an Inter House “FLOWER DECORATION" competition for classes IV-IX was organized on Friday, the 21st April, 2017. Each house had two categories. Junior category comprised of students from grade IV to VI and Senior category had students from grade VII to IX. A team of six students from each house and each category participated in the event. It was like a wonderful welcome of the spring season.

Beautiful flower arrangements depicting different messages were exhibited by the students. The arrangements were judged on theme, message, visual appeal, colour contrast, presentation and creativity. Red house showcased "Royalty at its peach: The gold and the beautiful" and Green house displayed “Unity is Strength." Yellow house exhibited India: Our power, Our glory by very decoratively presenting our National symbols and procession of festivals of India. Last but not the least, Blue house used flowers as inspiration to highlight the lessons of life and very diligently used a lot of renewable products to showcase their vision.

Their knowledge about the flowers used was indeed incredible.. One could not miss out the interesting captions added to their arrangements. The beauty of roses, the smell of lilies, the eye catching arrangements were just perfect for all of us to see what nature holds for us. Overall, it was a beautiful display of creativity, symmetry, blend of colours and a rich learning experience for the participants as well as the audience..In the end, we would like to quote, 

"Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower..."
