Keeping in mind that Republic Day follows soon, teachers decided to organize a patriotic singing competition for children during the house meet on Friday January 21, 2012. We were as excited as children because we could feel their eagerness behind their efforts to perform to their level best.  The event had two categories – Solo Singing for Middle School and Senior School and Group Singing for students from both Middle and Senior School.

Students organized their own karaoke or musical accompaniment and put up a melodious show. Teachers were all humming to the tunes. They could sing on any Indian language and were judged according to the parameters of pitch, melody, diction, expression, coordination, harmony. The judges of the event were Mr. Emmanuel, Mr. Umesh and Ms. Subarnasree G.

It was indeed a nice afternoon for all as we heard to patriotic songs. The spirit of the country and the zeal of fighting for freedom were resonating in the air. Teachers have selected two participants from the event – Regalla Sai Shruti, Mars House – Senior School and Ambika Radhakrishnan, Venus house Middle School to perform on the occasion of Republic Day itself.

The +Mun India Chamionship hosted by the MUN Cafe gives the students of India to nurture a Dynamic Modern United Nations culture . The regional council of +MUN INDIA was conducted in Hyderabad on 14th & 15th of January ,2012 at Fortune Select Manohar .

Rajyalaxmi Sivani Kavuluru and Adhith Raviraj Pillai of 9 ICSE ,Sreenidhi International School participated in this programme. 

Experiences of the students who participated  :- 

 Adhith Raviraj Pillai of IX ICSE

  ”This was my very first MUN,it was a last minute decision but I am glad that I made to +MUN.It was fun ,a very different experience altogether! I can’t wait for the next MUN!”

Rajyalaxmi Sivani Kavuluru of IX ICSE

“My second MUN was very exhilarating I met loads of experienced Munners and had an amazing time!
G.A was a new experience from me it was very different from the other committees I’ve been in but it was

nice to get to see their procedure,  And getting good remarks from the chair who has been through 30 MUN’s 

feels very rewarding.

When you MUN you learn, and that type of learning has no boundaries.Each time new discoveries are made about yourself. Traits that you never knew you had! you learn leadership skills you open your eyes to the world around you and try to handle them first hand! 

When you represent a whole nation, you learn to negotiate and many other qualities.MUN is something everyone should have a chance to do and be exposed to at least once on their student life it is very beneficial and you learn so much from every MUN that you go to! I don’t know when but will surely sign up for the next MUN!”-

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.

This Chinese proverb came into  my mind when Mr.Anurag Rajagopal an Aerospace Engineer from IIT Mumbai,MS at Georgia Tech,Atlanta and presently doing his research  programme at VLRSOE,Georgia Tech,Atlanta. visited our school.

His treasure of Knowledge on Aerospace he imparted to the students of Grade 9-11 and explained how to go about with the different levels of graduation.He also gave a brief idea of the Universities which provide Aerospace Engineering In India and US

In His way of presentation another quote came into my Mind

“Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change.
Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding.”

a quote by William Arthur Ward and He made the students understand  the concept of Aerospace Engineering

All The Best for his research work from SNIS!

A glimpse of his presentation to the students is given below!
