Observing Human Rights Day on 10 December 2020 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Human Rights Day commemorates the adoption of the document which outlines the fundamental rights of all human beings to protect them universally. The United Nations General Assembly adopted it in the year 1948 to create public awareness about the social, cultural and physical rights of all the people across the globe. To make the students of the middle and the senior school aware of their fundamental human rights as well as their responsibilities, Human Rights Day was observed on 10 December 2020. A meaningful and evocative discussion was initiated in each class to bolster ideas of transformative actions that can be taken at individual level to help spread awareness about the importance of human rights in our communities. After watching a thought-provoking video, students engaged in dialogues and discussions that addressed issues of inequality, exclusion and discrimination. The ideas of ‘Promoting Sustainable Development’ and ‘Working towards ending Discrimination’ took root which made the discussions successful.

For the first time in the history of the school, a virtual Teachers Day, filled with exciting and heart-warming presentations from not only the students but also the teachers was organised in a Zoom meeting on 5 September’20.

The event included various performances, ranging from interactive fun games to dance performances by the students to rap battles and to songs. Even a skit recorded virtually by the teachers for the students was screened during the meet. Videos made by the students with humourous references to the tech glitches of an online class as also the integration of art activities and their take on them, left all with a smile. Like every year, the Best Dressed Contest for teachers took place in the Brush Challenge Format, where the teachers showcased their transformation from plain Janes in casual outfits to divas in Party Ready ones. An apt way for all to un-quarantine! The batch of class XII students also took on the challenge of transforming themselves to student teachers, appearing in their Sunday best in the videos. Even though no one could be on stage and there was no red carpet, the virtual celebration was a massive success and left everybody elated, laughing with gay abandon, participating in the fun games, singing songs and rejoicing every inch of the way! It was indeed a roller coaster ride of 2020 none would ever forget! |

Rakhi Celebrations on 03 August 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Festivals are the celebration of togetherness in India. They play an important role to build a society where positive values flourish and the spirit of co-operation prevails. Festivals are celebrated with a lot of zest and spirit in India. Rakshabandhan is a festival that encompasses the warmth shared between the siblings but in the current times it goes way beyond it. Today, it signifies a peaceful co-existence of individuals. Rakhi Utsav was also popularized by Rabindranath Tagore to promote the feeling of unity and a commitment amongst all members of society to protect each other and encourage a harmonious social life.
This year, keeping the present situation in mind, we at Tagore International School celebrated this festival commemorating the selfless service, magnanimity and courage of our Armed Forces , Police , Doctors and Health Care Workers by sending them heartfelt messages through an e-card.

Eid was celebrated with students across all classes #Online on 31 July 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Id-ul-Zuha, commonly known as Bakr-Id in the Indian subcontinent is the Islamic Festival of Sacrifice. The festival is celebrated with great fervor by Muslims across continents. The word 'id' derived from the Arabic 'iwd' means 'festival' and zuha comes from 'uzhaiyya' which translates to 'sacrifice'. Id-ul-Zuha is not only a festival for Muslims, but a day to remember and honour the great sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail. For people across the world, even those not following Islam, the story behind Id-ul-Zuha is a lesson in faith and obedience. It is a reminder to not overtly value worldly things, encouragement in community building and a reminder to help those in need. To celebrate this festival one students from each class presented a speech in the class on Friday, 31 July emphasising on the main five tenants of Islam and importance of sacrifice. They appreciated and brought to focus the great sacrifices made by the unnamed heroes at the border, doctors, police department and all the other front line workers so that we can also carry on with our loves unharmed and peacefully. |

Towards a pollution-free planet | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Human activities contaminate ecosystems around the world—from pole to pole, from the highest mountains to the ocean deep. Toxic chemicals can be found in pristine forests and the blood of Arctic animals. Litter floats beneath the surface of oceans miles away from land. Even excess noise and light are interrupting natural patterns and disrupting the lives of animals and people. Pollution today is pervasive and persistent. While the world has achieved significant economic growth over the past few decades, it has been accompanied by large amounts of pollution, with significant impacts on human health and ecosystems and the ways in which some of the major Earth systems processes, such as the climate, are functioning. The posters describes the pollution challenge, explores what is already being done to address pollution, and proposes focused and actionable interventions to address pollution in all its forms. Let us all take a call on the occasion of WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY (5TH JUNE 2020) to act towards a pollution-free planet. A pollution-free planet is by far and away the best insurance for the survival and well-being of current and future generations of humans and ecosystems. |

Costumes Inspired from Tagore’s Outfits | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tagore was very fashion conscious and created a unique fashion of his own. Tagore is one of the greatest writer of all times who not only brought his characters to life through words in his novels and poems, but also sketches to bring them to life. He drew outfits that he imagines his characters would wear. To rekindle his memory and fashion style, students took inspiration from Jobba(a cross between Baku,the long dress from Darjeeling and Kimono from Japan) and designed costumes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
