The table above shows the amount of water saved by our team in one month

In this project, we inserted bottles filled with pebbles and sand in the cisterns of our school. It uses the displacement method, by which less water is flushed, which is saving around 2O percent of water usage. Within three months only we saved approximately 67,080 liters of water.  By this method, we are not only preventing water wastage but also reducing the water carbon footprint.

Carnival held at Study Hall School

“The best way to remove negativity is to laugh and be joyous” – David Icke
Study Hall School seemed to live by this when they organized the fete on the 17th of November, 2018. The laughter, the fun, and the positivity is what study hall continues to aim for every year.
It had enthralling games, uplifting music, and exciting prizes. And if that wasn’t enough, it had a DJ with groovy music that you couldn’t help but dance along to too. All of this inside the school premises.
The students with the help and guidance of their teachers set up engaging stalls of games that people waited eagerly to try their hand at and eat the delectable treats set up to their fill.
We had stalls for everyone. Whether you’re a child or an adult, everyone left with something or the other.
But the games and food were not all that we had. We had makeup and shops set up too. You could pick out of the various designs that we had to get it tattooed on your body, have amazing nail art done and even shop for handmade, well-crafted jewelry.
Our school teaches us to respect and help those in need. The school’s foundation principles include charity and respect for those in need and we ensure that these principles are upheld by every student.
The Study Hall Educational foundation runs Prerna Girls School, where girls from underprivileged sections of society are imparted free of cost education. This has changed the lives of hundreds of young girls and has enabled them to stand on their own feet and paint the world and the skies with colours of freedom, change and self-respect.
All money collected from this joyous event goes to this noble cause. It is used to help better the lives of those who are disrespected and considered inferior because of being economically and socially backward.
We strive to reduce and end the disparity amongst the people of this world.
The fête is a means of bringing the people together for a fun time and bring smiles on the their faces, and Study Hall continues to do that without fail each year.
