Cultural Fest

Cultural Fest-2013 of Orchids, organized on the 26^th of April was a real feast to the eyes.  Classes from I-X staged their shows separately. The Fest combined entertainment provided by songs and dances and a social awareness depicted by skits. The songs and dances, ‘Heal the world’ by class IV and ‘Conserve energy’ by class III are message-oriented. ‘Dandiya’ of VIII A and Rajasthani folk dance of VI were cheerful with rhythmic beat and light- hearted melody. The kids of I and II were in high spirits, jumping to the beat and dancing delightfully.

‘Orchidian band’ of VIII A, a group song by the girls of X, and ‘Magic show’ of VII were unique with vocal and instrumental music and many puzzling tricks of magic. Class V gave the spectators some much needed tips to tackle summer.

The skits ‘Hara bhara paryavaran’, (in Hindi) by class IX, ‘Saving girl child’ by VIII B, ‘Indian culture’ by V and ‘Unity and diversity’ by X drew a lot of applause depicting environmental and social awareness and conveying strong messages for a good environment and an ideal society.

Principal of Orchids, Mrs. Mona Mehdi congratulated all the classes on organizing the Cultural Fest, a true showcase of sincere efforts and inherent talents of all the participants.

Theme: Dr.B.R.Ambedkar - The Father of the Indian Constitution

For the start of a wonderful new academic year ahead, we, the students of Class X, conducted a thematic assembly on Dr.B.R. Ambedkar.

We started off with the introduction of the ‘Father of the Indian Constitution’ and his achievements. The following day, we enacted a small skit on his childhood experiences on being an ‘untouchable’. We also spoke about an incident that took place during a train journey.

The next day was all about Babasaheb’s education and his prominent role in the framing of the Indian Constitution.

The thematic assembly was concluded by us, with a quick recap of the whole week, through a quiz. For all the students, it was a fun-filled educational journey through the life of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM (9/4/13)

There was an educational program on Animal Welfare initiated by Blue Cross of Hyderabad, in Orchids on April 9, 2013. It aimed at advocating prevention of cruelty to animals while helping to understand nature and animals. The organization really raises its voice for those who can’t speak asserting five freedoms the animal friends deserve- Freedom from hunger and thirst, pain and suffering, fear and distress, injury and disease and freedom to express normal patterns of behaviour. The program also clarified the myths and realities of snakes.

It was a humane education exemplifying compassionate treatment of animals.

‘We can stand up for animals every time we sit down to eat’.
