School Reopening and Environment Day 2024

June 5th, 2024, was a day of cheerful celebrations as NPS Koramangala reopened for its middle and primary year students after the long summer vacation. The roaring welcome to the new academic year was coupled with celebration of World Environment Day. Attired in green along with the teaching staff, the Principal, Ms. Jyotsna Nair addressed the students, briefing them about the excellent CBSE results, listing an impressive array of major inter and intra-school events lined up for the year, and announcing the opening of a STEM lab for students to explore the ever-evolving world of technology first hand, amidst loud cheers.

Drawing attention to the extreme heat wave across the country this year, the Principal underscored the need for #GenerationRestoration to undertake responsibility for saving Mother Earth through immediate action at all levels. An impactful video highlighting the earth’s devastation through man’s greed stirred the audience's sensibilities. Ms. Nair also shared with them this year’s Environment Day’s theme- Land Restoration, Desertification and Drought Resilience and slogan -Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration. The address closed with the principal motivating the excited learners to invest their time in reading books vis-à-vis getting addicted to gadgets and underscoring the importance of self -reflection to become better versions of themselves.

Samaya Narayan, who joined the school in Grade 6 this year, shared her thoughts on Environment Day through a powerful speech on her very first day at her new school. She also spoke about a project she has undertaken, with help from her parents, to regenerate a nearby park and lake. In connection with Environment Day a movie ‘Save the Tiger’ was screened for students of Grades 5 to 9 to create awareness on why and how Project Tiger was initiated.
