Cambridge Certified Program Leaders

We take pride to share that CHIREC is the `first school` in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to become a center for Cambridge Certification Program in two categories - Teaching & Learning and Educational Leadership.
Congratulations to Ms. Sanchita Raha, Principal of International Section, for completing the training and becoming Cambridge certified Program Leader in Educational Leadership!
As the Principal, improving students` learning outcomes is of utmost priority. This can happen only when teachers can improve their teaching-learning strategies and leaders can guide and motivate their teams well. The certification in Educational Leadership will enable me to train school leaders to adopt, implement, and imbibe best leadership practices that would certainly lead to enhancing learning outcomes.
Having undergone this training and certification, I have access to some excellent resources as I am now a part of the Cambridge Learning Community. I shall be able to connect with other Program leaders and guide and help my candidate teachers enrolling for the course and help the community at large.
This will also benefit my school tremendously as now we will not have to turn to an external guide or facilitator to conduct the PD sessions; these can be done in-house, under one umbrella!

Congratulations to Ms. G. Cinymol, Headmistress, International Section, for becoming Cambridge certified Program Leader in Teaching Learning!
A program leader in teaching and learning is a person who is Cambridge certified to tutor and mentor candidates desiring to enroll for CICTL or CIDTL. The program leader steers the candidates from the entry point through to the completion of the certification for the course.
Since I, as an employee of the school, have been accredited the program leader, CHIREC gets accredited as a center for offering the course. Our school teachers can become Cambridge certified teachers and it can be extended to the teachers from other schools as well. Right now, I am qualified to offer CICTL. I will hopefully be able to get an accreditation for

The students of Grade V put together the Grand Presentation on 1st December 2018 themed “Island of Feelings”. A musical ensemble of students sang the Welcome Song inviting the eager parents to the event.

The presentation conveyed the story of an island whose inhabitants were feelings, namely, Happiness, Vanity, Sadness, and Love. Upon hearing the news that the island will sink to the bottom of the ocean, all feelings except for Love prepare their boats to leave the island. Love decides to stay back and preserve the island’s paradise until the last moment. When the time arrives for Love to leave the island, none of the feelings were willing to extend a helping hand. An elderly man, however, aids Love and helps it to the land. Love then meets Knowledge to find out it was Time who came to its rescue.

The moral of the presentation was that time heals everything and can understand how great Love is. When things may look bleak, Time can solve anything. Things may not have a solution today, but tomorrow one will.

Mrs. Ratna Reddy, Founder Director of CHIREC International School, addressed the gathering by talking about her journey and excitement to look forward to CHIREC`s coming decades as the school establishes itself in the hearts of many parents and students as one of the most innovative schools in the country. She discussed some of CHIREC`s plans, including the upcoming 9.5-acre international campus with state-of-the-art sports facilities.

The Vice President suggested that educational institutions and policy makers must take steps to reduce the burden on students. He said, “I feel that the overall education system from school level to higher education should be completely revamped to ensure our institutions churn out ideal citizens. First and foremost, the syllabus at the school level must be drastically cut to reduce the load on students. The time spent by students in school should be divided equally between the classroom and play field.”
Shri Venkaiah Naidu talked about how CHIREC grooms its students to be leaders who will change the global landscape in a positive way. He also applauded CHIRECs eco-friendly initiatives incorporated into the routines of the students by integrating the environment and sustainable initiatives throughout the school through academics, management, policies, and community activities.

“Ms. Ratna Reddy is a friend and she has done such a great job. I am very happy to be here. My son had a very good time when I joined him for the first summer camp, when he was two & a half years. Otherwise children will be running in the house all the time, once I put my son, he came back home happy and learnt music and art. During the summer camp, I will be conducting classes for flower arrangement.” -Rekha Reddy, 1st parent of Summer Camp 1989/ Teacher for Ikebana
“I would like to congratulate the school for completing 30 years. I will be conducting art activities and showing some techniques to create artwork.” -Rangoli Garg, CHIREC Parent and Teacher

It is an honour for me to be here. The photos and videos that we saw today brought back the memories of 1989. The first CHIREC song was written then. I would encourage the children to make the best use of the camp.” -John Geiles, teacher at 1st Summer camp
“It is a great honour to be here. I was introduced to the summer camp 30 years back. The camp can really help enhance creativity in the long run.”-Abhishek Agarwal, Student of Summer Camp 1989
“It has been 30 years, when I was part of the 1st Summer Camp. I was 10 years then. When you have your last exam, you feel happy. The 2 months of vacation, you want to just play cricket and there was no playstation and Netflix at my time. My mother enrolled me in the summer camp, where I could pick any activity. I chose table-tennis and played only that. My coach took me to tournaments and it was super fun. I remember one of the incidents. One day there was no car and my mother asked me to take an auto from Abids to Banjara Hills to get to the summer camp, which was 10-12 kms far. I couldn`t find a single auto. Instead of going back home, I started walking towards Banjara Hills and reached the venue. I later gave back the money of the auto fare to my mother. It shows that where there is a will, there is a way. I can call myself the patent to the `pad yatra` for First Summer Camp. Summer Camp doesn`t just include activities but will help along in life.” -Sandeep, Student, 1st Summer Camp

Back to School
+

The ‘Back to School’ event was the perfect way to welcome the new academic year. The parents were a picture of enthusiasm as they sportingly participated in games and activities, alongside the students. While games like ‘Build a Tower’ , ‘Roll the Ball’ and ‘ Fun with Hula-Hoops’ put their balancing skills to test, they were given an opportunity to display their histrionics by enacting the evergreen film dialogues in ‘Sabse Bada Kalaakar’. The fitness freaks had an energetic ‘Zumba’ session, while the others tried their luck at games like ‘I am a Gladiator’, ‘ Hit the Coins’ and ‘We are Family,’ organized on the grounds. The event proved to be a much needed break for the parents, who enjoyed some quality time with their families on campus.
