Child Safety and Protection Awareness Program

In an interactive, activity-based session led by the police and other partners, Isha Vidhya Nagercoil students learned about personal safety, child protection, and the importance of speaking up against abuse. They learned to identify safe and unsafe situations, seek help when needed, and take responsibility for their own safety and that of others.

The presence of police personnel and social workers brought practical, real-life guidance to the program.

Playing to Learn

During a dedicated weekly indoor games period, students from Classes 1–8 at Isha Vidhya Dharmapuri form pairs and eagerly participate in board and card games such as Othello, Abalone, Go Fish, Dobble, Guess Who?, and more. This fun activity helps develop their logical reasoning, critical thinking, concentration, observation, and decision-making skills while encouraging teamwork and healthy competition.

Magical Science

Class 5 students at Isha Vidhya Cuddalore placed a pencil in a transparent bottle filled with water and observed that it appeared bent. This simple activity, which demonstrated the refraction of light, intrigued them and sparked their curiosity to explore the reasons behind such unexpected phenomena in science.

In an online "Get Mentored" session, Mr. Radha Krishnan, a retired Indian Navy officer, informed the students about the Indian Navy, the different opportunities to enlist, and the importance of discipline, dedication, teamwork, and service to the nation. His genial interaction with the students encouraged them to think beyond academics and develop a sense of responsibility towards society and the country.

After the session, to ensure optimum understanding, the students discussed what they had learned, with valuable inputs from their teachers and peers.
