Indian International Model United Nations, Lucknow 2015

MUN stands for Model United Nations. It is indeed an obscure word and is a simulation of the United Nations. It is essentially a young forum for young people to debate upon the buzzing international issues and talk about the geo-political scenario of the world and finding pragmatic solutions to the problems. Each participant represents a particular country and acts as a delegate of that nation.

We had decided to go for IIMUN which was held at Amity university, Lucknow from 24th to 26th July, 2015. The three days can only be described as exhilarating and unforgettable. I was fortunate enough to be appointed as the Under Secretary General of the entire conference and my work was to see that each committee functioned properly and the conference shall be remembered as a flawless one. Vikhyat Tandon from our school was appointed as the – Head of the organising committee. We went with a team of 8 delegates. We were exposed to a variety of new thoughts, new people and to expound on the learning that happened would take pages altogether. It has not just enhanced our linguistic ability but has also sensitized us towards the critical problems the people of the world face today. It is imperative that today’s youth lead from the forefront and work towards the betterment of the upcoming generation.

Certain delegates from our school made us really proud by winning various prizes. Yashasvi Krishna and Arushi Dixit won the Best Delegate in the UNSC, Siddhant Mishra won a Special Mention in SOCHUM and Dhruv Bhalla won a Verbal Mention in the Vidhan Sabha. All of us felt highly motivated to work for the attainment of peace and harmony in the world through deliberations and talks. I strongly recommend all the students to participate in such events and gain positively from them.

July 2015, Back to school after the summer break

Study Hall tiny tots were happy to be back to school after a long summer break. Their excitement knew no bounds on seeing the classrooms done up in the most vibrant colours. The library too has been given a colourful makeover. The junior wing now has its own music room and dance hall. Another new addition is the spacious auditorium, which can accommodate a large number of children at a time.

They were awestruck to see the projectors installed in their classroom. Everyone looks forward to the audio-visual aids which make the lessons come alive and learning becomes so much more fun.


The month of July was full of fun and interesting activities. The first out of the ‘Bag of Activities’ was the picture writing activity, followed by ‘Fun with Large Numbers’ . Another activity which the students enjoyed thoroughly was the sowing of the seeds. They nurtured and observed every stage of its growth and felt more sensitive and closer to mother nature.


The children for the very first time were encouraged to take part in the school election activity.They were introduced to the system of a School Cabinet.The children voted to elect their class monitors and other council members of the junior school. They understood the meaning of voting in a democracy.They were made aware of their equal voting rights.The black ink in their right index finger taught them that everyone can vote only once.


Parents, were invited to participate in the Open House.They found the classes to be very interesting and enjoyed the lessons.
