from the principal’s desk
Dear Parent,
Warm greetings from CPGIS, Juhu. November is a month dedicated to celebrate the innocence,
curiosity and inquisitiveness of children. We cherish this experience every year as we salute our dear
leader and late Prime minister, Sri. Jawaharlal Nehru. Many varied and interesting activities were
planned and conducted by the school in this month.
Our Pre Primary children had very engaging and fun-filled learning activities in this month with
field trips, guest lectures and continuous parent involvement. We connected with parents through the
PTM and we thank all parents for the valuable feedback shared on this occasion. The Master Chef
contest held by the school to encourage fathers to bond with their kids and dish out delicacies was
indeed a great event. This showcased the beautiful bond between a father and a child, how smaller
details with healthy food, taste and presentation were not only noticed but taken care by them.
I am always pleased to note how our Pre Primary children not only learn from teachers but ask very
appropriate and meaningful questions which indicate good learning.
Our Primary children enjoyed newer and interesting activities through field trips and hands on
learning. They were most happy at every opportunity to learn through meeting global travellers
through CLAP talks which is true for Pre Primary and Secondary also. Our Primary students have
become confident learners to speak and present on chosen topics at this stage of the academic year
2017-18. Their enthusiasm and keen interest to participate in activities are very encouraging for us to
guide them always.
Our Secondary children were engaged in the E-waste global project with Sadong High School, South
Korea, which is our partner school. Through this, they exchanged learning objectives achieved and
collaborated for preparing utility products out of e-waste along with identifying steps for safe
disposal of e-waste materials. It was heartening to note the concern and keen interest among our
students towards this global issue.
There were interactions for learning between students of the two schools through skype video
sessions. Students from Pre Primary to Grade 9 prepared products out of e-waste which were put on
a sale on 25th Nov‟17. It was a true sense of achievement for the students and teachers. We thank
you dear parents for the keen support and involvement in this initiative of the school which helped
us to raise Rs.14,000 for a noble cause of contribution to Khushi, an NGO for differently abled
children and Interact club of Rotary International.
Dear Parents, the school is keen to prioritise effective learning with global experience as the
approach and all efforts are centred on the same. We are glad to receive your support and
encouragement in this regard and I thank you all for the same.
With Best Regards,
Dr. G. Nagashree
Children see magic because they look for it.
The students of C. P. Goenka International School, Juhu, had a fun filled Children's Day celebration
on the 14th of November, 2017. Our school had organized a magic show for the children of the
Primary and Secondary sections where the magician, who was only six years old, performed a
variety of interesting and exciting magic tricks and entertained the audience thoroughly. In addition
to the magic show, food stalls having cotton candy, popcorn, the much loved ice popsicles called
“Gola” were present and interesting games were also arranged for the children. The teachers
enthusiastically put on various dance performances and humorous skits that the students greatly
enjoyed. The whole atmosphere was one of jubilant laughter and joy.
The Master Chef event was organized as a part of Children‟s day celebration with Fathers and was
conducted with great enthusiasm and innovation at Spring Buds International. Lots of fun and
engaging activities were planned for the fathers who showed great commitment and enthusiasm even
though this event involved a huge amount of preparation and planning beforehand.
Cooking has never been so much fun, with daddies involved in a real culinary adventure. All in all,
the morning was a great demonstration of team work, communication, leadership, time management
and some brilliant cooking skills. The overall best performance award went to the group for a very
well presented and healthy preparation of sandwiches and decoration of cupcakes depicting the entire
"Solar System." This was an extension of learning of the topic for Sr. KG, which we believe was an
amazing way of engaging children in experiential learning. Winning group members were awarded
with cookery books and some goodies for the toddlers.
Bus depot visit
Our Playgroup children were taken to a bus depot for a visit and they were really amazed to see so
many buses standing stationary at the depot. We met the bus driver, the conductor and the ticket
checker also. The kids were taken inside the bus to see the big steering wheel and they were even
showed how the buses are washed. The teachers showed the children how the bus conductor gives
everyone a bus ticket to travel in the bus. The children were thrilled with this new trip and had a fun
learning experience.
Visit to post office
In a world of advanced technology, people hardly remember that earlier they used to get their mails
delivered by the post man.
To show the importance of our community helpers, our little toddlers visited the Juhu Post Office and
made a card on Inland Post cards for their parents. The postman helped the kids to stamp on the
letters and then they posted the letters in the post box. It was a fun visit and a hands on experience for
the kids. The staff was very helpful and co-operative.
Dress up day
The children from Playgroup and the Nursery Sections were dressed up as community helpers and it
was a treat to watch them. Good effort were put in by the parents to dress up the kids. The children
made an attempt to name the helpers they were dressed as. The teachers spoke about how each
community helper helps us in a different way to have a beautiful world around us.
Visit to the Salon
The children of the Nursery section visited a salon and met a stylish and fashionable hairdresser who

tions.
The children were very excited and enjoyed every aspect of this new experience.
Block building Competition
Block Building competition was held in school for the students of the Junior & Senior KG on
Tuesday, 21st November‟17. The children were expected to practice at home, to model creative
structures, figures and duplicate the same at the school for the competition.
Lot of excitement and complete participation by students was observed for this activity. It was a
creative experience for them as they started building up their structures using colorful blocks. A few
examples of the structures built by the students were - Windmills, Peppa pig house, Christmas scene,
a Giraffe, etc.
Dress up day
To reinforce the concept of different professions, the students of Junior K.G. were asked to dress up
as their favourite professional helper. Accordingly, the children hit the ramp in their colorful attires
and were given an opportunity to speak about what they would like to be when they grew up.
Visit to Hotel
The students of the Junior K.G. section, accompanied by their teachers, visited „Water Stones‟ Hotel
as a reinforcement of their theme topic. Here, they got a chance to meet the people who help in the
smooth day to day functioning of the hotel like the chefs, waiters, bell boys, receptionist, laundry
man, housekeeping staff, etc. The staff was very humble and cooperative and took the kids for a tour
of the entire hotel. Overall, the children enjoyed the food and ambience of the hotel thoroughly.
Dress up day
We have learnt that there are eight planets in our Solar System along with the Sun and the Moon
and to reinforce the topic of ‘Solar Village’, the students of the Senior K.G. were dressed up as
various celestial bodies, where each child got an opportunity to speak about the planet they had
dressed up as.
Star Gazing
As the theme of the month of November was selected as „Outer Space‟, our children of the Senior
K.G. section got an opportunity to explore the galaxy!
They had a great and thrilling experience exploring the Sky at Silver Beach, where they saw the Spot
on the Sun and had a look at some of the other Planets such as Venus, Saturn and also glanced at the
Moon through the telescope. It was indeed a memorable experience for the children.
Not all classrooms have four walls!
The students of Grade 3 had their third clap talk session on the 2nd of November, 2017 where they
were taken on an imaginary journey beyond the four walls of their classroom, to learn about the
interesting culture of the transcontinental country, Turkey.
The travelers, Mr. Merdan and Mr. Nihat, enlightened the students about the lifestyle, food habits,
entertainment, flora and fauna, and other aspects of their country. The session ended with a lively
foot tapping session and the students gained immense knowledge about the country of Turkey.
The students of Grade 2 were introduced to the life and culture of Nigeria by Mr. Eliyah Eziwhuo,
who visited our school on the 2nd of November, 2017 and conducted the Clap Talk session.
The children learnt about the different ethnic groups in Nigeria such as the Igbo and Hausa. They
also learnt that the capital city of Nigeria is Abuja and that the Nigerian currency is called Naira.
The session ended with the students learning some African dance moves and clapping games that
little children in Nigeria often perform and play.
“Travelling and a change of place imparts new vigour to the mind”
CPGIS, Juhu, had organised the third Clap Talk session for the students of Grades 4 and 5 on the
2nd of November, 2017.
Clap traveller, Mr Eliyah Eziwhuo from Nigeria conducted this session. He shared a lot of
information about his country, speaking about it‟s environment, culture, traditions, festivals,
cuisine, dance and lifestyles of the different ethnic groups. It was an interactive session as he
shared his experiences with the students and excitedly answered all the questions asked by them.
The children, along with Mr Eliyah, enjoyed the session as they played the clapping game and
swayed to the traditional tunes of Nigeria.
“Every child is an artist”
In order to justify the title and explore creative potentials in the young minds of our Primary
children, an Inter-Class Art Competition was held on the 3rd of November, 2017 where the theme
was „Jungle.‟
The students of Grades 1 & 2 were given outlines and were asked to color the shapes of animals and
nature within the outlines. The Students of Grades 3 & 4 had to draw the topic „India in 2050‟.
The children showcased their skills and came up with amazing art work which was a treat to the
eyes. The selection of the winners was a tough job for the judges. The criteria for the selection of
the winners for Grades 3 and 4 were neatness and accuracy.
This fun filled activity witnessed an enthusiastic participation by all the students.
The morning assembly is the common meeting ground where the thoughts shared inspire and guide us
towards beginning the day with positivity.
Grade 3 A assembly, conducted on the 7th of November, 2017 began with the prayers and thought for
the day followed by a humorous poem, awareness on The Rally for Rivers and a peep into the life of
„Chacha Nehru.‟ The assembly was concluded with news snippets related to sports and some
interesting facts which made the students curious and enriched their knowledge.
Live with no excuses and Travel with no regrets!
CPGIS, Juhu, had arranged a Clap Talk session for Grade 1 students with CLAP traveler Ms. Yara
Khalil from Cairo, Egypt, on the 21st of November 2017. Ms. Yara shared a lot of information about
her country with our Grade 1students. It was an Interactive session, where our students gained
knowledge and insight about Egypt.
Exposure to the world of underwater life.
The students of Grade 1 were taken for a field trip to the newly renovated Taraporewala Aquarium on
the 7th of November, 2017, where they were exposed to many kinds of sea creatures. A gateway to a
whole new world; it was simply mesmerising. All that could be seen was colourful fishes everywhere
and their beauty was admired by one and all. The aquarium looked so real that the children felt as if
they were underwater since it made the glass walls of the tanks seem to disappear. They were
extremely delighted to see these little creatures floating about, diving and swimming, which gripped
their attention. Along with the different species of aquatic creatures, even we floated into another
world, its inhabitants colourful and graceful.
The children also learnt the Hindi names of the fish along with the English ones, which was a part of
their Hindi curriculum.
This trip satisfied the children‟s curiosity and enriched their knowledge.
Wherever there is Sunlight, Air and Soil, Plants can be found
The students of the Primary section visited Bhavan‟s Nursery as part of their field trip on the 9th of
November, 2017.
This field trip was based on the topics “Bagicha” for Grade 2,
“Ped, Paudhe, Aur Hum” for Grade 3 & “Humare Aas Paas Ka Vatavaran” for Grade 4.
Basking in the sunlight, the students learnt about the different types of plants, creepers and trees at
the nursery. A wide range of plants were displayed and labelled with their botanical names. The nurs-
ery captured the interest of the children due to its rich, botanical resources.
Clock Activity
"If you want to be more productive, you need to become a master of your minutes".
Our little masters of Grade 1 learnt about the number of hours that a day has in the topic 'Time'. The
teacher first introduced this topic with a small game called 'buzz', which was a simple fun game of
skip counting in 5's. The students learnt to read the clock with help of this game. A fun activity was
held in class where the students were given clock cut outs. They drew out the hands and numbers in
the clock showing the time given by the teacher. These clocks, denoting the time, were later displayed
in the class.
Listening Comprehension
'The only rule for being a good talker is to learn to listen'.
To enhance listening skills as part of the language curriculum, the students performed a small role
play where they had a telephonic conversation with their partner. Two students, using a toy phone,
conversed with each other based on the question each one of them asked. Followed by this activity,
they had a Task sheet based on a listening comprehension named „My pet dinosaur.‟ In this activity,
the teacher spoke to the children about the importance of listening and then comprehending. The
students were able to relate to this activity and comprehension easily.
Rainbow Activity
"Somewhere, over the rainbow, Skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really
do come true".
The students of Grade 1 learnt about how the weather conditions change every day and every hour as
well as about the four main seasons of the year.
As an extension of this topic, they also learnt how a rainbow is formed by the light from the sun
being broken up by water droplets in the atmosphere. Our students had a thorough knowledge about
the colours of the rainbow abbreviated as 'VIBGYOR.' They also drew and coloured their own
rainbows at the end of the activity and enjoyed this fun filled session.
Clap Talks Sessions are extremely interactive and they help us in understanding the different
cultures, ideologies and lifestyles shared by people across the globe. The students of different grades
have witnessed and been a part of different Clap sessions held at our school and every single one of
these talks has been an extremely insightful experience.
The students of Grade 6 and 7 were delighted to meet Ms. Natasha Francoise Berger from
Philippines who happily shared with the students the life and culture adopted by the people of her
country.
Grade 8 students got a talk from Mr. Nazif Alizada, an inhabitant of Afghanistan. Both the travelers
showed us those sides of their countries that most people miss out on and hearing about it truly
helped gain perspective about these places.
Lastly, the students of Grade 9 got a talk from Mr. Omiyale Azeez Lanre who, with the help of his
outgoing and enthusiastic personality, took us on an imaginary trip to Nigeria.
Evidently, Clap talks help us understand the different cultures, ethnic identities and lifestyles of
people from all over the world, as this information is shared from people who have first hand
experience about these places and more importantly, they take the students on an adventure trip
within the confines of their classrooms. The students also gain more useful information about new
places and thus, eventually become open to having new experiences.
How much do u really know about Afghanistan?
India and Afghanistan are more alike than we thought!
Afghanistan is a place full of different cultures and beliefs, similar to our country. It is a place that
has rich fruits, food and history and is popularly known for its dishes such as Qabli Pulaw, Qorthi
and 2 Piaza. Not many are aware of the fact that Afghani people are actually not very fond of spices
(unlike Indians) and that the name 2 Piaza was actually given to the dish because it had way too
many onions used during its preparation.
Most of us have tasted the type of bread called Naan, however, not many of us know that the kind of
Naans that are made in Afghanistan come in different shapes, sizes and forms unlike the Naan that is
readily available in our county. In fact, when it comes to food, the Afghanis strongly believe in the
'grow fresh, taste fresh' technique which is why they do not use chemicals to grow their crops, fruits
and vegetables, etc. Cherries and Raspberries are also grown fresh.
What made the talk given by Mr. Nazif Alizada really special was the similarities he spoke of be-
tween the villages in India and Afghanistan, which are built similarly and are windy and spacious.
The list containing the things that Afghanistan is famous for does not end here. Buddhism was one of
the major religions in Afghanistan during the Pre-Islamic Era. There was a huge statue of Buddha
which was extremely famous and came to be known as a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, however,
the temple was bombed by the Taliban and is now a crumpled heap of stones.
While India and Afghanistan both have people of different ethnicities living in one place, the social
unrest that is present in Afghanistan is disheartening. Interestingly, Navroz , another festival that is
often celebrated in India actually originated in the country of Afghanistan. In this festival, everything
that starts with the letter 'S' is collected .
While we have had various Clap talks throughout the year, this one was definitely the most interest-
ing session so far. Afghanistan and India are extremely similar countries and yet they maintain their
own distinct identity and we are thankful to Mr Nazif Alizada for sharing these insights with us.

A memorable experience at MAMI
I had a memorable experience as having being selected for the MAMI half ticket children‟s Jury. The
selection process was done through our school. All the participants had to write an essay about their
favourite movie and what they liked about it. The Jury comprised of seven members, with ages rang-
ing between nine to sixteen years.
We were tasked with watching a series of six feature films and twelve documentaries and also writing
down the points that we liked. After watching all of these films, there was a deliberation session where
the jury chose the top two feature films out of the six and the top two shorts out of the twelve.
Throughout the course of four days of watching all the movies, with a break of one week between
them, I personally liked two movies which stood out from the rest of the features and shorts, namely,
Cloudboy from the features and Mdudu boy from the short.
Cloudboy is an emotional and powerful movie which is about a boy who visits his mother‟s house for
the first time after his parents had divorced and how he adjusts to the changes in this environment and
the people he is living with.
Mdudu boy is a documentary about a boy from Kenya living in poverty who wants to play football
with bigger boys but they bully him and demotivate him but eventually, he shows his football skills
and proves everyone wrong.
The deliberation session was pretty short, as the top featured film chosen was Cloudboy, which every-
one immediately agreed upon and Mdudu boy got the second rank. Overall, the experience was great
as I learnt how to analyse a film carefully, along with the smallest of details.

Laughter, Music And Popcorn
When you walk into school to see it covered with balloons, you know it‟s going to be a good day. This
year, on the 14th of November, 2017, our school celebrated Children‟s Day with great pomp and show.
Popcorn making machines, a Gola vendor and even candy floss stalls were all over the school campus.
Our school had also organized a variety of interesting and entertaining games such as Snakes and
Ladders, Bowling and remote controlled car racing.
There were plenty of activities to engage students all the way from the Pre-Primary to the Secondary
Sections. A photo booth, tattoo artist and a balloon twister were all part of the fun but he most exciting
activity for the children of the younger grades was definitely the bouncy castle. It was impossible to
get the children to get off it. But undoubtedly, the best part of the event was the performance the
teachers put up for us. There was a special poem written for the students by the teachers. In addition to
this, there were energy filled dance performances, wonderful song covers and one teacher even played
the flute. The students were deeply touched by these efforts put in by their teachers and this made their
day even more special and enjoyable.
For the Tenth Graders, this was going to be their last Children‟s Day celebration at school and the
teachers made sure that they had a memorable one. In addition to all of this, there was a treasure hunt
arranged for the students where they all participated enthusiastically and went searching for clues all
across the school. By the end of the day, all the students were in tears when their class teachers gave
them personalized cards.
This wonderful day was filled with laughter, music and a lot of popcorn. We made such amazing
memories that we will never forget. A huge thank you to all the teachers and the PTA for making this
day so great.

The students of CPGIS, Juhu, as part of their Online International Collaboration Project on E-Waste
Management with the students of Sadong High School in South Korea, organized a garage sale called
the “E-Cycle Event” on the 23rd of November, 2017. The items created by the students using E-Waste
were put on sale, with the intention of erasing their E-waste responsibility and using the funds
collected from this sale to be donated towards a social cause. The slogan “Save the Environment” was
adopted by the children of the Pre-Primary Section and they convinced the parents patronizing the
stalls to purchase the items on sale. The total money collected from this sale amounted to Rupees
Thirteen Thousand, which will be donated to the Interact Club as well as to an
NGO.
Insights by Our IBDP Teachers
Professional development workshops are appropriate for practitioners in all IB programmes, new,
experienced and non-IB teachers alike. This series of new workshops deepens the understanding of IB
teaching and learning to sustain and inspire your practice. Our IB teachers attended In-House
Professional Development workshops conducted by our IB Co-Coordinator Ms. Neha Pandit. These
are some insights shared by our teachers.
Petit a petit, l‟oiseau fait son nid”
IB for me was always surprisingly different as it is a concept based curriculum and the children take a
lead in their inquiry learning.
I would say that I arrived thinking “this IB thing is too much work” and then suddenly realized that I
was already doing so many things that make me “IB” without realizing it! I always ended up leaving
the meetings satisfied and confident that I can take up the “IB challenge”.
There wasn't any meeting where I didn't leave the room learning something new or without
interacting. That again is exactly what IB focuses. Post-school hours we always had IB team meeting,
activities, presentations etc.
Every teacher in all our meetings had so much to discuss, explore, inquire and learn that it enriches
one‟s thinking ability beyond the limit.
As I teach French, I checked several resources online and on My IB website relating to teaching
strategies, links to CAS, TOK and EE etc. It just gave me more innovative ideas to implement in my
lectures.
It is rightly said, “The IB learner profile describes the attributes and outcomes of education for
international-mindedness”.
With the guidance of Dr. G. Nagashree and enthusiasm & dedication of Ms. Neha Pandit, entering the
IB world always felt positive and I look forward to a great learning and teaching experience.
Ms. Kasturi
(French Teacher)
"The meetings were informative and enlightening.
It is a great opportunity to be part of the IB program with its holistic approach.
The meetings have initiated the learning process and I look forward to
applying the practice and insights of the program for the
positive growth of students as well as for myself.
Thank you."
Ms. Shipra (Counsellor)
It's been a wonderful experience so far. I enjoyed all the meetings, they are very informative & helped
me to expand my ideas about the programme. Thank You
Ms. Supriya (Lab Assistant)
We‟ve learnt that education is predicted more on skills than content. it is so important to encourage
students to hone their skills, be it of thinking, communication or research. That‟s going to be one of
the main priorities.
Mr. Amaan (English Teacher)
IB has been a beautiful experience for me. Our collaborative meetings have lead to high-quality
professional development and has strengthen my teaching practice and professional learning. These
meeting have served as opportunities to share best practices & personal interactions with my
colleagues. The IB meetings have been very enriching& knowledgeable along with being motivating
with the energetic vibe of our IBDP coordinator Ms. Neha Pandit. Personally the best part about IB, is
the shift in paradigm from teacher centric to student centric.
Ms. Sarah (Business Management & Home Room Teacher)
I can best describe my experience of collaborating in IBDP meetings as exhilarating. The opportunity
to learn about the core elements of IBDP vizTOK , EE and CAS is the most exciting part. It opened
new vistas for me at looking for novel ways of learning and growing as an individual. The fact that
links from study units has to be made to core elements has helped me to imbibe the importance of
integration. The collaborative meetings are fun because there is so much to know from perspectives of
other teachers.

Ms. Kamini (Hindi Teacher)
The meetings conducted by Ms. Neha Pandit our DPC help me to understand the entire IBDP
programme, mission vision and many other things. Her techniques used during the meeting to
make us understand each and every concept was unique, may it be learners profile or approached to
learning. The meetings were of huge help to me in preparing the documents required as a subject
teacher.
Ms Zeba (Economics Teacher & EE Coordinator)
An internationally minded approach to teaching and learning leads to developing students who are
independent yet collaborative learners who see a purpose in their learning, and are willing to take
action as a result of learning. The more internationally minded students will develop the skills and
attitudes that will lead them towards being global citizens who can play an active role in shaping their
world and making it a better place.
The IB provides high-quality, innovative face-to-face professional development to help new,
experienced and expert school leaders and educators understand, support and successfully deliver IB
programmes by drawing on the expertise of a network of IB educators worldwide.
Our IB teachers attended Out-house workshops in the month of November at Oberoi International
School, Mumbai. The workshop explained the principles behind why social collaboration impacts
achievement positively. It helped our teachers to learn how a “service learning" approach to teaching
and learning offers students authentic opportunities to take action while at the same time deepening
their understanding of the curriculum and how these principles and others are designed to help
students understand that what they learn in the classroom can have real-world applications.
