Dear Parents,

Greetings from Hil l Spring International School!

Welcome to our first “Springtimes” edition for this Academic

Year.

“Back to School” was very exciting with the declaration of

our outstanding IBDP (Gr 12) results wherein all 47 students

were awarded the prestigious diploma with the topper

scoring a full 45 points. The average score for this batch was

39 out of 45.

This was soon followed by the IGCSE (Gr 10) results in August

with 39 students securing an International Certificate of

Education (ICE) distinction certificate and only 1 student

securing the ICE merit certificate.

In June 2019, 24 students and 2 teachers went on a French

Language Student - Teacher exchange programme to

Bretagne, Annecy and of course Paris.

I am also privileged and proud to share with you the

outstanding success we had had where 39 students

comprising of 5 Junior and 8 Senior teams participated at the

World Scholar's Cup 2019 - Global Round at the Hague -

Netherlands. In the Junior category, one of our HSI teams

won the first place in the Global round and one of the teams

in the Senior category won the second place in South Asia. All

our 13 teams qualified to compete in November 2019 at the

Tournament of Champions in Yale, USA.

With much enthusiasm and a pertinent message the

Independence Day Assembly was staged by Gr 11 for the

whole school. The other events celebrated were

Janmashtami, Teachers' Day, the Senior School English

Elocution Extempore Competition & Gandhi Jayanti

followed by our mega Middle & Senior School event

“EXPRESSIONS”.

Looking forward to many more prestigious awards in this

Academic Year and beyond.

Warm regards,

Nalini Pinto

Grade 12 students of IBDP presented a

narrative to be relevant to present day

Themes of patriotism, national pride and

historical event of Independent India's

first Prime Minister, Mr. Jawarhal Nehru's

delivering his famous Tryst with Destiny

In order to bring the order back, PM

recalls the unsung hero, Venkayya Pingali,

the man who designed the Indian

National Flag to remind us what the

national tricolor stands for and what the

Ashoka chakra (wheel) in the center

represents. Audience saw these real and

fictional characters come alive on stage,

along with a personified version of the

web search engine Google as one of the

main characters.

In essence, one could say, that the grade

12 students had their own tryst with

destiny when it was decided this year's

Independence assembly will be done by

grade 12 instead of grade 11. Thus, the 26

twelfth graders: enthusiastic, motivated

and wanting to make the most of their

last year at Hill Spring International

grabbed this opportunity together to put

up this one last performance before their

graduation. It was well-received and

much appreciated for its simple yet

intriguing plot line.

Teacher’s Day Celebrations

On the 30th of August, we students were

given the opportunity to give back to

the most important people in our

academic lives: our teachers. In the

days leading up to it teachers displayed

their sartorial virtuosity managing

ensembles for Hawaiian Day, Black and

White Day and Twinning. The day began

with a bang as members of the Student

Council and volunteers from Grade 12

put up a carnival for the teachers on the

green patch. The carnival featured a

variety of stalls, such as a photo booth

stall; a minute to win it stall, and food

stalls with delicious samosas, pizzas,

cookies and cakes. The photo booth in

particular proved to be a very popular

hard work they had put

into their outfits for the

entire week leading up

to Teacher’s Day.

Additionally, teachers

showed off their skills with

a singing and an acting

competition. Ms Palak,

Ms Sayali, Madame

with their improvisation

Creativity, skills in problem solving and

collaboration were triggered through

activities like the catapult-building

contest. The Ingredi-Hunt, where students

learned to cook from scratch with organic

ingredients and minimal additives, proved

thoroughly enjoyable to them. And finally,

the Village Immersion programme

sensitised students to the workings, the

rigour and the challenges of rural life

making students appreciate their own

position of privilege and the values of

patience, fortitude, harmony with nature,

to be imbibed.

Thus, the Camp integrated the 3 strands of

CAS namely Creativity, Activity and

Service. Creativity includes exploring the

intuitive child in us. Activity includes

physical discipline leading to a healthy life

style. The Service component calls for an

awareness of the needs of the socially

and economically disadvantaged and

responding to it. The Camp helped

students identify their strengths, explore

new and unfamiliar challenges through

creative learning styles. It further helped

the students to communicate and

collaborate with their peers and become

more sensitive to the economically less

privileged. The Camp helped the students

move out of their comfort zones and

infused a strong group morale within the

class.

Nature Turks CAST away Camp

Grade 11 students from Hill Spring

International School participated in a

CAS camp called the “Nature Turks CAST

August 14th, 2019. The camp site was in a

picturesque village called Shahpur, a

two-hour drive from Hyderabad, which

allowed students to enjoy the exquisite

mountains with unique rock formations

en route.

The camp days began with training in

basic camping knowledge such as

navigation, using a compass, rope skills

and bushcraft, where students honed

skills and abilities that they could not in

the city. Then followed the extremely

strenuous activities such as rappelling,

zip-lining and long treks at the Golden

Boulder and the Khilla Ganpur fort

lovely sights and appreciated the rare

¡Viva España!

As part of their Spanish Ab Initio course of

the IBDP, 13 students of Grade XI

travelled to Spain from June 2-14, 2019,

accompanied by their teachers, Ms.

Anuya Naik and Ms. Kaushalya Patel. This

trip enabled the students to immerse

themselves in Spanish language and

culture.

CELEI, an institute based in Granada, was

the centre for the students' language

lessons. The frequent interactions in

Spanish, in class and outside, with natives

of the country, have been a tremendous

boost to the students' confidence.

The Spanish lessons were interspersed with

day trips and visits to historical and

cultural sites in different cities: Madrid –

Prado museum, Royal Palace, Santiago

Bernabeu Stadium (Kushaal Patel

motivated all his friends to sing the

anthem of Real Madrid in the stands);

Granada – Alhambra; Córdoba –

Mosque-Cathedral; Nerja – pre-historic

caves; and Toledo – Synagogue and

interesting activity was a

scavenger hunt involving the

wonderful and creative graffiti

artwork in the Realejo

neighbourhood of Granada which

allowed for a discussion on various

social issues. HSI students also

thoroughly enjoyed a game of

football against children of a local

school; and incredibly, our kids

won it in a penalty shootout!

Food is a window to any culture

and helps one learn more about

the people of a region. Spanish

gastronomy is varied and colourful,

made of fresh ingredients and

produce, and the students and

teachers had a splendid time

trying various local delicacies like

paella, gazpacho, churros con

chocolate, piononos, assorted

meats and ham, and much more.

Our students' enthusiastic

participation in all the activities

and their zest for learning,

combined with incredible learning

experiences and the amazing

Spanish people, made this an

unforgettable school trip.

Weaving Histories in Varanasi

The Hindi Students of Grade 9-12

undertook a cultural tour of the historic

city of Varanasi, the oldest living city in

the world and arguably the cradle of

Hindi culture and civilization, from 5th-

7th September.

The students visited several temples

such as Kashi Vishwanath Temple,

Durga Mata Mandir, Sankat Mochan

Mandir and the Museum of Manas

Mandir, which depicted the chapters

of Ram Charit Manas electronically. This

reinforced the values and traditions of

Indian culture and enlightened them

about the origin of these holy places.

They visited Assi Ghat, (one of the

several ghats of the Ganges), wherein,

they witnessed the spectacular Ganga

Aarti and Chanting of Mantras, thereby

elucidating the culture and heritage of

Indian legends and mythological

stories. At the Bharat Kala Sangrahalay

(Indian Art Museum), Asia's largest

University Museum, students visited

among other exhibits: the Sculptures

and Medieval Art Pieces tracing back

to the 1st Century, Artefacts of the

Indian Textile Industry, the Coins
