In keeping with our Saloni Waghale Sucheta Mondhe theme this year of Gratitude and connecting with our Alumni, we invited two former KHS students as chief guests who have gone on to build successful careers for themselves; Dr. Anjali Sane (batch of ’92) and Dr. Gayatri Deodhar-Pathak (batch of ’95).

It is observed in many countries, including Canada, Japan, Australia, Nigeria and United Arab Emirates. In 2009, Singapore observed the day for the first time along with Italy and India. Schools across the globe are now celebrating World Kindness Day and work with local NGOs such as the Be Kind to People Project and have instituted a Cool To Be Kind Award. We at Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao High school initiated a kindness project for the students of Std VII under the kindness challenge as part of our theme for the year ‘Gratitude is the best attitude’. This was a 21-day challenge where all the students of Std VII maintained a kindness diary where they noted down every day’s act of kindness either done by them or witnessed by them. At the end of the challenge, the students were expected to answer three pertinent questions: 1: How did you feel at the end of this challenge? 2: One change that occurred in you while doing this challenge. 3: Give two reasons why people should be kind to others? Few excerpts from the Kindness Diaries have been compiled into this attached image: While A coming from Warm Smile tution class, I saw is the Universal that a pigeon was badly Language of Kindness injured.

31 School Activities I-CAN Our school Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao High School, secondary section has a remedial section since many years. Though a remedial section is there, very few people are aware of the process of it. Children who come there are usually teased, troubled and bullied by others just because they have some learning difficulty and they are not performing well in academics. This type of teasing many times leads to emotional disturbances and low confidence in these children.

Hence counseling unit decided to participate in the program called "I Can: Design for change" which emphasized on change in the students, school or community in the month of November. As a part of this program 20 children from 8th std. were selected for the process. These students then have decided to sensitize the teachers and students about this topic of learning disability. They have named this program as ‘Be Empathetic and Not Sympathetic’. Selected students along with the ATULYA 2016-17 counselors addressed school including teachers and students through various types of strategies including exhibition, skit, posters, power point presentation, short film, charts, poem and a logo made by the students. The process helped everyone to change their attitudes and understand that how these children must be FEELING.

On the 28th of January 2017, with heavy hearts, the teachers bid the students of Std. X adieu, while reminiscing about their years at school... about the times spent teaching, coaxing for homework, warning about looming exams, yelling for unfinished projects... a few heart-stopping moments here, a few moments of impromptu hilarity there... But most of all, the teachers wished them good luck as they prepared for the Std X Board exams, and told them to face the world with dreams in their eyes, determination in their actions and conviction in their skills. Mrs Munawar Shedbalkar and Mrs. Manisha Kale along with the principal took to the stage to share their thoughts. The students of Std X also staged their own version of awards. The program ended with 240 students jamming on Djembe Drums and the entire auditorium resounded with the rhythm. ATULYA 2016-17

50 School Activities PARICHAY DIWAS – A CAREER-COUNSELING DAY WITH A DIFFERENCE Our school has always believed in a student centric approach. Realizing that need for today’s students is to be aware, not only regarding academics but also the fact that there is a larger world beyond books, our Principal, Mrs. Pallavi Naik and counseling unit initiated ‘Parichay Diwas’ in 2015-16 for students and parents. It is a platform for bring about awareness of the different career options available for students, along with the personal snippets from the panelists themselves about the various challenges and achievements that they faced in their journey. An interactive panel discussion with young professionals conducted in an engaging and fun way, this career-counseling day focuses on offbeat as well as traditional careers. This year, KHS invited 5 esteemed guests: Saurabh Dube (Scientist), Sarita Dhimate (Designer), Dipti Gawit (Manager, Cox and Kings, Kalyani nagar), Hrishikesh Pawar (Choreographer, Contemporary dancer), Tanwi Dixit (Model and Beauty Pageant). This program was anchored by Mrs. Shubhada Karnik (Counselor, KHS) and Mrs. Anamika Dasgupta- Sharma (Career Counselor). All the panel members enthusiastically interacted with the students and parents. Panelists stressed on the need for open communication channels between child and parent at home, the necessity of a BIG dream which would require focus, consistency, hard work, perseverance. They spoke about the need to minimize the use of gadgets and more interpersonal interactions in the real world, along with the need to be adaptable to the situations in life. The program was held on 31st March 2017 and received positive feedback by parents, teachers and students. Parents responded to the program by asking questions and getting elaborate clarifications for the same. It tried to trigger the thinking process of parents to give a chance to choose different career paths and to think out of the box, all the while understanding that while career paths may be different, the approach towards excellence is by far the same: one of never-giving-up and pushing on determinedly.

53 School Activities GRATITUDE IS THE BEST ATTITUDE: PRELUDE TO THE CONCERT

We believe gratitude is an attitude that must be taught and nurtured among children. By learning gratitude children become sensitive to feelings of others, develop empathy and learn important life skills of giving and appreciating. As a prelude to our concert, we organised a ‘Happy Sale’ to celebrate the life lesson of giving back to the community. The articles on sale were made by NGO’s working for the blind, tribal artisans, and orphans. Students, parents and teachers supported the event wholeheartedly. Also we celebrated a week of ‘Happy to Help’ drive wherein our students volunteered to manage the traffic at the school gate both in the morning and afternoon, helped in the school canteen and supported the security guards to man the school gates during school hours. They also helped with canteen preparation and sale of food items. Finally the Expressing Gratitude activity was planned for the non participant students which gave them time to notice and reflect upon things they are thankful for. They had to express their idea of gratitude on paper through art, graffiti or words. We received an overwhelming response from the students and it was indeed a challenge for us to shortlist only 25 unique ideas from a collection of more than 500 expressions. We collated these thoughtful designs into a calendar. Every time you turn a page of this calendar, it gently reminds you to take a moment and appreciate the gift of bounties you are blessed with. ATULYA 2016-17

54 School Activities THE CONCERT FINALE The very wise words of A. A. Milne said so much when he said this: “Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude." ... and the theme that set the tone for the year. We believe that Gratitude is an attitude that must be taught early in children. They learn to empathize with others, become sensitive to the feelings of others, and learn important life lessons of being grateful for everything that they have instead of focusing on what they don’t have. Our school concert titled Gratitude is the Best Attitude held on 21st and 22nd December was an extravaganza. Mr. Anand Nadkarni and Mr. Mohan Nair were invited as chief guests for the concert. If aliens were to land on Earth and ask us humans what we were most thankful for, what would we tell them? The KHS 'Earthlings' took them on a trip of gratitude expressing thanks to nature, culture, literature and people. Weaving dance, music, storytelling, drama, to depict these elements and patriotism and the bounty of mother Earth, there was nothing that we were not grateful for and the aliens understood the point as well. It had captivating performances by the students expressing thankfulness towards the infinite gifts of nature and the splendour of our culture and heritage. It also depicted the legacy of the written word of luminaries from the literary world and saluted the indomitable spirit of humanity. The concert ended with the teachers singing the song of Gratitude “All that I am' which got the audience tapping its feet and wanting more. ATULYA 2016-17 ATULYA

SCHOOL PICNICS One of the most eagerly anticipated events in the school life is a class picnic, where teachers can enjoy with the children too. And if learning happens in an non-traditional environment outside a classroom, it stays with the children for a long time to come. Picnics for the students of Std V-X were planned meticulously for learning and fun opportunities to be maximised. Std. Picnic V Shantivan VI Shantivan VII Morachi Chincholi VIII Saswad Campsite IX Morachi Chincholi X Gravitational Park

For the staff members, an annual picnic is also a day to relax and enjoy the company of colleagues in an informal setting.

68 Teachers' Professional Development EDUCARNIVAL ‘16

December 2016 brought a very different and exciting experience for us. We, Manisha Kulkarni and Anjali Kulkarni, had the privilege of attending Educarnival, a three day conference, at IIT Delhi. The conference had a number of sessions which included plenary sessions, lectures, paper presentations and group discussions by eminent personalities from the field of education from India and abroad. The inaugural session was addressed by Hon. Manish Sisodiya, Minister of Education. We attended a number of sessions that dealt with student assessment, information management, classroom management strategies, forging a better school- parent partnership, teacher empowerment and motivation. We also got the feel of Finnish viewpoint on education. This session was conducted by Tina Malete from Finland. The takeaway from this conference was the diminishing role of the teacher as a lecturer and increasing responsibility of being a good facilitator. The teaching learning techniques need to be improvised to fit the needs of the 21st century learners. It widened the perspective of our profession. We hope to implement what we learnt and also to attend such conferences in future. ATULYA 2016-17 ATULYA

69 Teachers' Professional Development TEACHER WORKSHOPS “Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection” — Mark Twain In this time and age of rapid and continuous change, it is imperative for us as educators to learn as well. Only when one learns, can one embrace change and grow with it. With that goal in sight, it is only to be expected that teachers work on their professional goals too. KHS has always created opportunities where teachers can work on bettering themselves. Professional Goal setting with PE development for each and every teacher is one of the focal points of 2016-17. One of the highlights this year, was the tie-up with Potter’s Earth, a Pune-based company that works on assessment and development for students and professionals. They undertook a competence mapping session for selected teachers and then worked with each teacher individually to set professional goals for themselves. The program will be taken forward in 2017-18 to help teachers reach their professional development goals and aspire for more.

Workshop Many teachers have attended workshops where they have learnt about classroom management techniques, the use of praise and feedback for students, educator conferences etc. Subject specific workshops like the ones conducted by the Board, Navneet publications, Ratnasagar Publications, Asset workshop for maths teachers among others have seen enthusiastic participation from the teachers. • Mrs. Soni Pradhan and Mrs. Tanuja Shetty attended a 4 day conference at MRA – Panchgani on life skills and value based

70 Teachers' Professional Development

• The Computer Department teachers have attended various workshops conducted by CSPathshala viz. CSPathshala curriculum development, problem solving, computational development, programming skills etc. • Mrs. Monisha Abhyankar and Mrs. Smita Naik attended a 2-day workshop on Basic Techniques in Microbiology for High school Teachers in October 2016. Organized by Fergusson college, Pune, they learnt basic techniques in Microbiology Teachers' Infosys visit such as sterilization, Agar, Broth culture, streaking technique, inculcation technique. • Some teachers were also invited to Infosys for a workshop on Design thinking where they learnt about the methodological cycle of Design-frame-Incubate-Ideate-Evaluate-Test- Iterate. They also learnt how this methodology can be customized for a classroom and teaching strategies. Another achievement to be justifiably proud of, is that 5 of our teachers ran 5km in the Pune Women’s Half Marathon in March 2017. Mrs. Manjusha Gunjal, Mrs. Jyoti Dhore, Mrs. Manisha Girolkar, Mrs. Anjali Gulanikar and Mrs. Vaishali Shinde participated in the 5 km and completed it. Kudos! Pune Half Marathon

77 THE GULF BETWEEN ARTS AND SCIENCE LETS WE FORGET - PRAFULLA HASAMNIS – VIII A - PRAFULLA HASAMNIS, VIII, A Arts and Sciences have a perpetual gulf between them. Nothing in its very being is as opposite as Rivers of blood, filled with innocent souls Arts and Sciences. An art in its very nature is ambiguous. No-one can define what constitutes No food on our planet, or cereal in our bowls Art. It is our feeling, our thoughts about the world, and this is what renders it obscure. We fight for freedom, lives lost everyday “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". So the The battlefield painted red, with skies listless world sees our work of art, comments, debates & grey and decides on its value. Psychology is the most obscure science ever. I watch the pain & suffering from a war- The subject may have some laws but the human beaten man mind does not.

78 OUR SCHOOL LIFE - SIMRAN CHANDAK – X-C TEACHER School is a routine work for us, - AKASH RAO, X,A In the morning, we’re sure to make a fuss; A teacher is a person who illuminates the Even when the sun is not up, passage of darkness, Here we are awake at 6 am sharp. One who treats every living soul with kindness. Late a minute and we have to run, As tender saplings grow into mighty trees, Eyes half closed, homework undone; When we reach school and see our friends, A teacher transforms her pupil into famed personalities. Immediately, the torture ends. As a potter mounds a clay into fine pots,

The teachers, we love them all, A teacher moulds a child's tender mind with But sometimes we don’t like them at all; pleasant and beautiful thoughts. Sometimes they are as cold as ice, A teacher lights our mind with the flame of And otherwise they’re actually nice. knowledge, To keep this flame burning bright is our Some may see school as a torture chamber, pledge. Some cannot wait for the holidays in December; As beautiful flowered blossom in the wild, But it depends on how we look at school, A teacher brings out the best in each child. Honestly, really, school is cool! A teacher is responsible for the child's soul,

She plays an important role in helping it achieve it's goal.

Teachers, I thank you all for showing your love.

You are the stars under whose radiance we glow. ATULYA 2016-17 ATULYA 2016-17 ATULYA

84 84 A WORLD WITH PEACEFUL DREAMS... - MEENAKSHI BAPAT VIII B

A world where there is no betrayal, And yet there they come, Nor any vicious schemes, With their stubbornness still intact, Only some other day could be found, Well some people are true from heart, A world with peaceful dreams. and that's a fact. Whenever need arises, Making the world negative with their wrong beliefs, There could be support, Only some other day could be found, Not letting anyone feel discomfort, A world with peaceful dreams. But they don't think of anyone doing just as they please, And thus we say that stay true to yourself and others, Only some other day could be found, Come what may, A world with peaceful dreams. Because when we scheme against others, it hurts A blank mind throughout the day, their feelings, Not caring for anyone just as they may, Only some other day could be found, A great disrespect for people it seems, A world with peaceful dreams..... Only some other day could be found, A world with peaceful dreams. ATULYA 2016-17 ATULYA

How can I write a poem to please thee? A world without violence

Poetry must provide peace of mind A subject of pleasure, no matter what one hopes to find To be serene in the shade of nature. Like a sailor on a journey out on sea A tree of beauty a reader must feel free to be Where silence, friendship and calmness A poem can be funny, happy or sad play their duty. it can be mournful, grieving or just glad A crystal of confidence, It can bring tears to your eyes Pure faith and goal have built it dense. or make you jump in surprise A bright ray of light, Poems are created for special reason Where, eradicating terrorism and violence there are more than one for every season is our sight. Poets write them out of love An absolute peace of mind, to give hope like a dove Makes our brain and heart to combine. O muse thank thee for showing me ATULYA 2016-17 what a poem is meant to be Peace is a priceless treasure, Once achieved gives delightful pleasure. I know now how to make a beautiful rhyme

Holograms pop up in movies such as "Star Wars" and "Iron Man". Very soon 3D Hologram projection theaters will be launched which do not require special glasses. The impact delivered by the holographic illusion reaches audiences at a much deeper level than conventional medium. Our study of the hologram started when we had to do an innovative computer project on the topic “KHS 2030” and had to use our imagination, to ideate such a concept.

Our Principal of the base to the side was 1:6 and the height of Mrs. Naik liked this idea and gave us an the sheet was 4 feet. We connected these sheets opportunity to present a hologram of a spaceship with each other using epoxy and formed a prism. in our Annual Concert- “Gratitude is the Using a television screen we displayed the Best Attitude”. In the specially designed video which gave the illusion hologram we depicted of an image of the spaceship floating inside the aliens which had prism. landed on Earth. They wanted to know what All the teachers supported and encouraged the earthlings were us for this project. We are grateful to our Library most grateful for. teacher- Pallavi Iyer, our computer teacher- ATULYA 2016-17 Our hologram acted Jyoti Dhore, and our drawing sir- Mr. Bhimsen as the introductory Mahagaokar. We are also thankful to Rajendra piece to show the Chakare for all his technical support.
