- Report on Republic Day 2021

Principal Mrs. S. George, Senior Academic Coordinator, Mrs. S. Thomas and the co-ordinators of the various sections hoisted the Indian tricolour in the School, followed by the National Anthem. After a solemn prayer by the Senior Academic Co-ordinator, Mrs. S. Thomas, the uplifting hymn, 'O God Our Help In Ages Past', was sung and it brought out the truer meaning and essence of the day like never before.
The Principal's allegorical address to the School of the recently played 'Border-Gavaskar Trophy' match where India stood strong while diligently focusing and optimally using resources was a much needed reminder of the influence an Indian can have globally. The students of Grades 9 and 11 then put together a tribute to the farmers through a very informative presentation on the condition of farmers and how various changes through the years have impacted them. The panel discussion enhanced the topic while throwing light on the difficulties faced by the farmers on a day-to-day basis. It further inculcated a sense of gratitude towards these warriors as a blessing to the entire nation. The presentation ended with a poignant poem on the plight of our farmers.
The event was indeed one that not only prompted us of the significance of the Indian Constitution but also filled us with nostalgia, insight and vigour of a quintessential Republic Day celebration.

All the Scottishites were very excited and the participation was overwhelming. Despite the inhibitions that we had about pulling off such a grand event online, we were amazed as to how smoothly the event was carried out without any glitches.
All thanks to the amazing efforts of all the staff, students, and the unwavering support of the Administrative Heads of the School and last, but not the least, our dear parents who are more than willing to do their best for the upliftment and betterment of this great institution.
The Scottish Spotlight was our closing event for the year 2020 and it just left all of us feeling grateful and privileged for everything that we have.

It was a novel and enriching experience for the students as they got a taste of rural life with all its simplicity and hardships. The lush green meadows, the clear fresh air, the muddy slippery footpaths, the simple barren village houses, the 'bhaakri' making contest, the authentic village lunch and of course the adventurous Scavenger Hunt made the experience memorable. It made our urban dwellers more sensitive to the hardships of the villagers and also to appreciate the facilities they take for granted in the city.

As a result of their efforts, they were able to collect Rs.140,500 which funded the planting of 700+ trees.
Naina and her brothers believe that every family should plant enough trees that support the amount of oxygen they consume in a year. Each person requires the oxygen produced by 8 fully grown trees in a year. So, if each person can contribute 8 trees, they are at least taking care of the oxygen that they individually consume. This is the plea they made to family and friends to shore up contributions."

- Report of the Meeting held by the Principal with parents of the ISC Section
On Monday, 18th January, the Principal , Mrs. S. George held a meeting with parents of Grades 11 and 12 with the objective of updating them with the activities in school and with the efforts taken by the school to provide the best possible education in the current scenario.
Soon after the announcement of lockdown, the school invested in G suite to enable seamless delivery of online lessons, access to educational material and conducting of examinations. The various activities included virtual orientation for parents, crowd funding activity to meet the SUPW requirements, career counselling sessions, SMUN and Scottish Spotlight. The syllabus for Grade 12 was planned such that it was completed in the first week of October. Throughout this time, our Principal updated parents through video and voice messages. Explaining the purpose behind holding exams on the campus, Mrs George pointed out the need for a paper and pen test on the campus to get a true picture of a student’s preparedness for an exam. On-campus exams would however be held subject to government directives. In all probability, another written pre board exam would be held after April 2021. Exams were planned keeping in mind the dates of various competitive exams. Parents were also given detailed instructions regarding the students' uniforms during the preliminary exams, method of sealing envelopes containing the answer papers,and dropping them to school.
The meeting ended with a question answer session.
- The Scottish Spotlight held on 18th December was an endeavor to give our Scottishites a platform to enhance and showcase their talents. Given below are the event wise Prize Winners List.

- Report of the Meeting held by the Principal with parents of the ISC Section
On Monday, 18th January, the Principal , Mrs. S. George held a meeting with parents of Grades 11 and 12 with the objective of updating them with the activities in school and with the efforts taken by the school to provide the best possible education in the current scenario.
Soon after the announcement of lockdown, the school invested in G suite to enable seamless delivery of online lessons, access to educational material and conducting of examinations. The various activities included virtual orientation for parents, crowd funding activity to meet the SUPW requirements, career counselling sessions, SMUN and Scottish Spotlight. The syllabus for Grade 12 was planned such that it was completed in the first week of October. Throughout this time, our Principal updated parents through video and voice messages. Explaining the purpose behind holding exams on the campus, Mrs George pointed out the need for a paper and pen test on the campus to get a true picture of a student’s preparedness for an exam. On-campus exams would however be held subject to government directives. In all probability, another written pre board exam would be held after April 2021. Exams were planned keeping in mind the dates of various competitive exams. Parents were also given detailed instructions regarding the students' uniforms during the preliminary exams, method of sealing envelopes containing the answer papers,and dropping them to school.
The meeting ended with a question answer session.
- The Scottish Spotlight held on 18th December was an endeavor to give our Scottishites a platform to enhance and showcase their talents. Given below are the event wise Prize Winners List.
Congratulations to the prize winners and well done each and every participant!
