This exchange program was a part of the ISA for the year 2013 – 2014. The objective was

to exchange views and implement different teaching methodologies. We worked on a

global theme that would initiate global awareness among our students. The exchange of

curriculum was done for the age group 7 – 11 (grade 3 to grade 6). The topic was

“BUILDING THE FUTURE – Keeping the Past Alive”.

Two students of class V take us on a school tour. We had exchanged our house T-shirts as

a part of Cultural exchange as every color indicates theme.

ForGrade 2 the topic was Islam. We were introduced in the assembly on the 2nd day and

our assembly presentation was shown to the children.

ANTI DRUGS DAY

JUNE 26TH ,2014

SCHOOL EVENTS

Bobby Chakraborty, a well known actor and anti –drug crusader visited South City International School on 26th of June, Anti-Drugs Day, to address the secondary stu-dents to keep off any kind of addiction .

The tagline of his campaign is: 'I am the king of my mind'. He urged students to rule their own minds and order it to obey commands rather than let it give the orders. The young must understand the fatality of addictions and the need to say no to them. The interactive session had the students asking ques-tions and sharing their views on this burning issue.
