Dear All ,

The board results have been declared. Our students have done exceedingly well. Congratulations to all the students

of ICSE and ISC. We had our first ISC batch this year. This implies that wheels have been set in motion and

looking ahead is the only option for us. A special congratulatory message for Yash Chakraborty who has topped the

school‘s ISC list and Wrik Karmakar for topping the ICSE list. I would take this opportunity to congratulate and

praise the efforts of their hard working parents who have supported these youngsters.

I would also like to congratulate and applaud all the members of the Staff for their dedication and commitment. Part

of the applause is for the past achievements. The remaining part is to motivate them to perform at levels they are

actually capable of. As a team we have set a scorching pace and it is only natural that we raise the level of the bar.

We have it in us to achieve higher levels.

Summer vacation is on. A study tour has been fixed for me at the American University of Barbados, school of

medicine. I am sure this tour will prove to be beneficial for the students of Biology.

I would also request all of you to utilize the holidays in best possible manner. Enjoy the free time to rejuvenate

yourselves. Best wishes and good luck to all the students in their future endeavours.

Warm regards ,

John Andrew Bagul

shop was conducted by Ms. Chandrima Ghoshal,

[School Counselor] along with the Counseling and

Special Education Department. The Topic of

discussion was , " Mental Health problems of

School Children –aged three to sixteen years. The

teachers were made aware of the different mental

illness that school children may suffer from in-

cluding Childhood Depression, Autism Spec-

trum Disorder, Childhood Schizophrenia, ADHD,

Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder,

Learning Disability and Anxiety Disorder . The

symptoms of these disorders were explained to the

teachers which would help them identify any disor-

der that their students may be going through and

refer them to the School Counseling team for fur-

ther analysis.

The basic course for Cub unit leader was organised by South Calcutta District Association of Bharat Scouts & Guides at South Point School from 11th to

17th May, 2017; wherein sixteen teachers of different schools like South Point School, Lakshmipath Singhania Academy, Mahadevi Birla World Acade-

my, South City International School, Jodhpur Park Boys School, and few other individual units took part. SCIS was represented by Mentors Edwin Law-

rence and Richard Gomes . 11th May, the programme started at 10 am with the introduction of the the leader of the course, Mr Kaushik Chatterjee and his

team of trainers. The chief guests for the occasion were Dr Kohli, the Principal of South Point School( primary wing )and Mr. Kamal Bhattachajee ,Joint

Secretary of Bharat Scouts & Guides . Dr Kohli in her address stated that each and every child should be part of scouts and guides as it helps them to learn

from their childhood how to do good to others and to always strive to " do your best " which is the cub motto. Mr Kamal Bhattarcharjee stressed that books

are not sufficient to make students a better human being. He stated that training is essential as we should create the potential in ourselves and then we can

train others and help the society. Our sessions included stories, notes, games, action songs, activities and assignments as a group unit. These sessions were

conducted by the leader of the course and his team members. Important songs and prayers for a child , how to conduct a pack planning and meeting, the dif-

ferent activities for the children, Story of Jungle Book ,preparing children for prayers, patham charan and dwitya charan, and nature study were discussed at

length. It was a superb experience and we would like to thank the host school for organizing this course wonderfully.

“Pochishay Baishakh”-the birth anniversary of Kabi Guru Rabindranath Tagore. SCIS chose to celebrate this day by organizing a small pro-

gramme on 9th of May 2017, in line with the vision of our Principal who believes that instead of enjoying a holiday, the children should be en-

couraged to know about the great Poet, his life and his work which has enriched our culture so much.

An hour long programme included songs by the school band – The Bohemians, recitation by Torsha and Ariya of the Primary section, a dance

number by Creator House, ‘Monomor Meghero…’, Rabindra sangeet by the teachers and an excerpt from Rabindranath Tagore’s

famous‘Gitanjali’wonderfully rendered by Aranya Sen. The show stopper was the wonderful fashion show on the theme of Charlie Chaplin by

the senior students for which they had won a prize at an inter-school competition. Rendition of songs like ‘Aguner Parashmoni…’ and ‘Phoole

Phoole’ marked an end of the great cultural show.

Today, the 22nd of May, 2017, was the

first day of the eight day workshop at

Times Of India Office at S.N Banerjee

road. Aarjo, my classmate who also

chosen, accompanied me for the work-

shop. After registering our names and

our school, we were led into the con-

ference room of TOI and given a

warm welcome. Shravanti introduced

the entire TOI and supporting team

and how things were going to roll for

the next eight days. We were told to

introduce ourselves, and one by one,

each student got up and began with

their name and school. I found out that

out of 50 students, only 5 were of

class nine. Among us were students

with many talents –state boxer, nation-

al karate champion, a law pursuer, an

app inventor and what not. It was real-

ly inspiring to see so many talents.

Sharavanti then handed us blank pa-

pers and told us to write 100 words

on “I, Me and Myself” We were to

write about ourselves and what we

wanted to become. In a given time of

15 minutes, many had completed their

essays and handed them in. By now, it

was 12 pm, and it was time for a so

called “coffee-chai” break. We were

asked our likings and each of us were

handed either coffee or lemon tea. In

the process, we were divided into 6

groups, each having 8-10 members.

Then, sipping on our drinks, we had to

discuss the “must have” and “must not

have” of a newspaper. It was a long

and lively discussion and everyone

took part in it. Soon, we were handed

out refreshments, and got the chance

to mingle and get to know each other.

Finally, the day came to an end, but

not only did we leave with valuable

knowledge, but also newly found

friends, keeping me eager for the next

session.

Today, the 23rd of May 2017, was the second day of the

Times Of India workshop at S.N Banerjee road. We ar-

rived ahead of the scheduled time and got time to settle

down and mingle with everyone. As soon as all the

school arrived, the session began, continuing yesterday’s

discussion of the “must have” and “must have not” of a

newspaper. In the mean time, coffee and tea were

served. After bringing the discussion to an end, each

group had to choose two topics to write an article on.

Our group had varying ideas, but we all settled on mov-

ies and food. Althea Phillips, the chief editor, then sug-

gested we focus it on Bengal and ghoti food along with

movie reviews. We were rather content with our topics

and divided it among the group, each person having to

mail their report to Althea. She then hushed the class

and talked about report writing. She stated that it may be

a fun job if you love writing, but it’s also dangerous at

times as you may upset the party you’re writing about,

putting the reporter, and their family under threat. In

turn of taking the risk of writing reports, the reporters’

family receives protection along with compensation

from the newspaper. Once we were done with the pros

and cons of being a reporter, she gave us points on how

to write a good report. They were:

Be observant and objective.

Be short and precise. Do not beat around the bush

and drag your report as most of it will be edited

by the sub-editors.

Be sure to get your facts and figures correct.

Do not write biast opinions. Be neutral and let the

reader decide.

Last, but not the least, use the 5W 1H formula:

What, when, where, why, why and how?

We quickly and obediently jotted down the points in our

notebooks and attentively listened to Althea as she ex-

plained each point. Refreshments were brought in while

we all relaxed and enjoyed the time with our friends. A

person was put in charge of a Whatsapp group that

would keep the TOI team connected with us throughout

the year. Finally, the session came to an end, and we

walked home, eager to know what will be taught tomor-

row.

24th May 2017 was the third day of the

Times Of India Workshop at S.N Banerjee

road. As usual, our session started as the

clock struck 11. Today, the chief editor, Al-

thea, talked about sub-editing and how be-

ing a sub editor is not easy as it looks. We

were told that sub editors had to always be

alert and ready. They have to be very care-

ful when editing a reporter’s story. Any mi-

nute mistakes could cause chaos, and the

newspaper may even be pulled up in court.

Being a part of the newspaper firm, every-

one always has to be ready for change. If

new news comes in at late night or early as

3 am, the newspaper firm have to change

everything. The press is told to stop printing

and is given the new copy to print. In a few

words, journalism is not a job to be looked

down upon. By now, all the students wore

heavy and serious expressions on their fac-

es, which surprised Shravanti as she walked

in. So, she interrupted the session with a fun

exercise that bought back the long lost

smiles and laughter in the classroom. She

then informed us of our layout for the next

few days of the workshop, while we sipped

on our hot beverages. Suddenly, she

jumped us, saying she had a surprise for us.

We all got excited and she handed us NIE

badges! She then decided for us to take a

picture and it turned out wonderful! When

we all settled down, our refreshments were

handed out early, as the head of the editorial

department gave us a visit. He talked about

how hard the team works and that many of

the team members stay beyond their work-

ing hours. We greatly appreciated his time

as he had a very busy schedule. Next, we

had a session with an even more honorable

person, the head reporter of Times Of India.

Mr. Saibel Sen. He was a very busy man

and had taken out time for us. He spoke

about how he was actually studying bioge-

netics, but, his friends introduced him to

journalism. Before, he knew it; he had fall-

en in love with the subject and pursued his

new dream. All the students attentively lis-

tened to his story. It was very entertaining

and all of us had a wonderful time. We

walked out, wondering the knowledge we’ll

gain the next day.

It was scribe time for Dhriti Monal and Aarjo Mukherjee of Class IX who were selected to attend Times NIE

Summer Training programme from 22nd May to 31st May. This was the most interesting way to tide over the mo-

notony of the long summer vacations. It was an insightful session and the students got an exposure and hands-on

experience into Journalism, Editorial, Production and Distribution & Media Industry. Various aspects of the news-

paper business – reporting, sub-editing, page making, printing, dispatch operations and marketing were also dis-

cussed and demonstrated.

Here we have a few pages from the report by Dhriti Mondal.

The conference room was filled with bubbling excite-

ment and shining faces on the 25th of May 2017 at the

Times Of India head office at S.N Banerjee road. The

reporters of the previous day read out their reports. Both

were equally well written with a good use of vocabulary.

Miss Althea, arrived with a pile of paper and began dis-

tributing a science project that suggested the students to

send their science experiments to them so that they could

publish it in their NIE newspaper. Many students planned

on sending in their experiments in. The students, who

were very serious as usual, took out their notebooks and

prepared to take notes, but to their surprise, Miss Althea

said there would be no note-taking, and that today, every-

one was about to take part in an exciting activity – paper

making! Looks were exchanged, some of confusion, ex-

citement and others of shock. The leader of each team

was called to collect the materials for each group. A set

of sketch pens, a pair of scissors, a glue stick, and a large

white chart paper along with newspaper copies was given

to the leaders. The students were allowed to take inspira-

tion and cut outs from the newspapers given and design

their very own first page. The students were given an

hour’s time to discuss, layout, design and finally produce

their own front page. Pushing chairs aside and making

room, they all sat down on the floor, discussing the lay-

out of their newspaper. In no matter of time, bits and

pieces of paper were strewn across the floor. Un-capped

markers were here and there, and every now and then,

people would frantically look around for their pair of

scissors. The volume was slowly rising, until it became

unbearable that Miss Shravanti had to raise her voice to

make us quiet. She informed us about the timings of the

next day, and confirmed everyone’s arrival. The students

tried their level best to maintain their volume thereafter,

and soon, the support team walked in with trays of warm

coffee and tea; just what was needed. Everyone was com-

pletely absorbed in their work; some were drawing, some

were busy cutting, some were pasting and others were

busy borrowing extra colors from the other teams and all

while sipping on their warm beverages. Time flew by and

Miss Althea began asking to submit their pages. After

bargaining with her, the students managed to earn them-

selves 10 minutes extra, and fastened their pace. To give

us extra energy and stamina, refreshments were served.

Warm and delicious poha, along with a rather generous

sized pastry were handed out; a meal everyone enjoyed.

Students began handing in their pages, and the results

were wonderful. Each group’s page was unique and dif-

ferent in their own way. Some were popping with colors,

and others had a sophisticated, down-to-business look. It

was now time to announce the winners. Group 2’s hard

work prevailed and they were first, truly deserving it.

Each group then got their photos taken, proudly display-

ing their front pages and were given a Dairy Milk, a

small token of their work. The pages may have shown

the hard work and time put behind it, but so did the room.

There was paper everywhere, and it looked as though the

room was attacked by a tornado. So, before the students

left, they cleaned up the room, picking up every bit of

paper and stuffing it into the large bin bag. Satisfied with

themselves, each student was then entertained with a cold

drink in hand as they left the premises, waiting eagerly

for tomorrow to arrive.

Today, the 29th of May 2017, was the 6th day of the Times of India Workshop. Today,

we weren’t at our usual location at S.N Banerjee Road. Today, we made a trip to Salt

Lake Sector Five, to the Times of India Press and Print factory. We were going to re-

ceive a tour of the entire factory along with explanations of how the factory worked. We

were first led to a room where all the students were to assemble. When we walked in,

students were all busy writing on pink and blue charts. We were then told that we were

to take out our pens and go around, writing a message on the name charts for everyone.

It was a fun activity and in the end, we all got take our charts and read the personal mes-

sages written by our friends. After a short while, Bhaskar Sengupta was going to give us

an introduction on the workings of the factory and the processes. We were divided into

two groups and appointed two guides to take us around the factory. First, we were taken

to the ground floor, where all the paper rolls were kept, they were rather large, and the

guide told us that the paper rolls were inserted into machines, where the paper would be

rolled out and be taken to the next station, which was the floor above us. We went up the

steep steps and found ourselves looking at 4 rather odd- looking machines. Before an

explanation on these machines, we were taken to the control room. Through the control

room, you could change the quality of paper, dye, number of prints and more. It was a

rather complicated process but it was very interesting. After that, we were taken to the

machines, which had two rubber rolls for the paper to pass through. On each side, the

paper would be printed. Then, a tucker blade would fold them in half with a gripper and

then would be passed onto the packaging station. Many were taking notes, and many of

the students got blue dye stained onto their white shirts. Not to worry, it wasn’t going to

harm them, and as for their shirts- they would be just fine after a good wash. We were

then lead to the CTP room, where aluminum plates would be made. There are 4 alumi-

num plates for newspaper – cyan, magenta, yellow and black. You can see them repre-

sented as small hearts at the bottom of every newspaper. These plates were the base col-

ors for each page. Initially, they could only make 2 pages per plate, but after applying a

solution of water and glue, it can now produce over 80,000 pages. The aluminum plates

were very expensive and went through a long process. First, it would be exposed under a

violet-blue UV light, that would expose their uppermost sensitive layer. Then, it would

be exposed to hot air, of about 150 degrees Celsius that would melt a thin polythene lay-

er on it. Then, it would go through vigorous rinsing to bring out the final product. We

were then led to the packaging area. Here, the newspapers were stacked, bundled, tied

up and wrapped. The most fun part was the spiral slide on which the newspaper bundles

would slide down and then, be packed into trucks and transported. It was a long day, and

by now, our feet were aching. We were then taken to the cafeteria, which served deli-

cious food. After that, we had time to relax and mingle. It was a very long day and all of

us were tired, but we could guarantee anyone that it was truly a new and fun experience.

WINNERS OF CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP

IIHM YOUNG CHEF CULINARY COMPETITION 2017

This year, Young Chef India Schools supported by Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, in associa-

tion with NDTV, brought to us the biggest culinary battle for school students across the country. The competi-

tion aimed at bringing together schools on a culinary platform to foster the spirit of youth as they battled it out

to be crowned 'Young Chef India Schools' 2017.

PRELIMINARY ROUNDS 1 &II

Around September the selection for the East Zone had begun. SCIS nominated twelve students for the prelimi-

nary round. Each student prepared a dish from home for the two judges from IIHM and six students from

among them, namely Shayak Roy, Karandeep Singh, Neha Samanta, Princy Jaiswal , Yash Bajoria and Fa-

guni Bhartiya qualified for the next round, which was held on 24th March at IIHM campus, Sector V.Three

of the participants – Faguni, Princy and Neha presented a pre prepared dish for a photo shoot and an inter-

view by NDTV. This was followed by the 1st round of the competition, where the task was to prepare an Indi-

an main course dish along with an accompaniment within an hour.The battle had begun and to our delight,

Faguni qualified for the next round, the Semi Finals, which was to shortlist the top ten from Kolkata.

SEMI FINALS (9th April - IIHM KOLKATA)

Faguni now battled with thirty contestants from twenty eight prestigious schools like La Martiniere, Mod-

ern High School, Loreto Bowbazar, Sri Sri Academy and The Heritage for the' Basket Challenge' for which

she prepared two portions of Mildly Spiced Rice, Missi Roti, Pumpkin Rasam and Blooming Onion. It was

indeed a moment of joy to know that she was among the top ten who had qualified from the East Zone for

the Zonal Finals to be held in Delhi.

ZONAL ROUND (New Delhi)

On 18th April, ten young contestants sharpened their knives, stirred their imagination and honed their skills

to present two portions of most scrumptious, mouthwatering Indian inspired dishes along with their accom-

paniments.

The items prepared by Faguni were Eggplant Risotto, Kashmiri Yakhni Curry, Surprise Gatta with Fiery

Pettiki Roti and Coriander Mousse.

All the young contestants waited with bated breath for the three celebrity judges, Chef Kunal Kapur,

Shaun Kenworthy and Sanjay Kak to announce the results.

Though Faguni did not qualify for the Final Mega Round ,her preparations were highly appreciated espe-

cially the Coriander Mousse which won acclaim. Chef Kunal Kapur exclaimed that he had never tasted such an interesting desert before.

The event culminated with Dr. Suborno Bose, the Chief Mentor and Chairman of IIHM congratulating the contestants. He reiterated that every year

the quality of the competition is getting better, it’s not just a competition about winning but also about making a difference in people’s lives and

learning skills.
