IBA on Monthly Theme, Classes 9-12 (16th April):
Time to dress the IBA boards. This year our experience, as students and house members, was spectacular. The topic, for the month, was Types of Government, around the world. The countries chosen were, China, Saudi Arabia, England and India. It gave us an opportunity to read, explore and to expand our general knowledge. It activated our creative juices, to dress the board in the most attractive manner, with an intelligent border, apt charts and positioning of pictures. Everything was made by hand and by the students. Innumerable debating sessions and with peers and teachers were exciting and I think it helps in honing social skills of all. Overall a fun-learning experience.
Orbians at G D Birla Memorial Thought Conclave (13th - 14th April):

Khyati Singh of class 12 Sirius secured the runner up position in Creative Writing. All participants had a great experience as the competitions were not only challenging but also quite informative. All participants were grateful for the opportunity and believed that the experience will be cherished by them for long.
DEAR Hour
In the beginning of the Literacy Month, DEAR Hour (Drop Everything and Read) was a perfect way to celebrate reading. At exactly 10 am, the activity began with the sound of a bell. During these magical minutes, the teachers and students of the entire school were absorbed in their favourite books. There was complete silence all around as all other activities came to a grinding halt and every individual was engrossed in reading. The aim of this activity was to instil a love for books and inculcate the habit of reading in students as well as teachers. The response was invigorating as all the students and teachers were carrying their favourite books and everybody immersed into the activity at the designated time. We all enjoyed the reading session immensely and most of us felt that the time allotted to reading was up, sooner than expected!
Enterprise Club
Enterprise Club marched ahead into the gold level of the School Enterprise Challenge, under a new name; ENTREPRETEENS, with the aim of creating safe spaces to reduce carbon footprint. New products like neutralizers and handmade soaps, using DIY techniques, have been introduced by the club in the new academic year. Students have spent productive time and energy thinking of ways to create economically and socially viable business strategies thereby enhancing their leadership qualities and igniting their business acumen. Having enjoyed the support of ‘customers’, which include the teachers, students and staff members of the school for the sale of its products, such as food items, jute bags and soaps, the entire team is eagerly awaiting the next big event: Orbifair!
ISA: Models showcasing Hierarchy of Governments
The students of classes 8 and 9 made models showing the different types of governments in India, England, China and Saudi Arabia. After understanding the differences between the Parliamentary, Monarchical, Communist and Constitutional Monarchical Systems, the students were able to present the information in the form of models and charts. The models were a product of teamwork, where the classes were divided into groups and students coordinated and collaborated for the best results. It was an informative educational activity which reinforced the understanding of the given types of governments.
