Spic Macay Event

Posted on by
Study Hall Educational Foundation in association with SPIC MACAY organized a Sufi recital by the famous Padma Shri  Dr. Bharti Bandhu to promote harmony and peace in today’s discordant society through soulful Sufi music.
He mesmerized the audience by striking a chord with the students and teachers alike with the tuneful hymns of Sant Kabir and Rahim. The mellifluous renditions captivated the audience who were in a state of trance. The program began with the rendition of ‘Mann laaga mero yaar fakeeri  mein’ and culminated with ‘Chhap tilak sab chheeni tohse naina milake’.  The program was a huge success and the audience was mesmerized by the group and demanded an encore.

Sufism is a mystical and ascetic Islam practiced by tens of millions of Muslims. Known as ‘Tasawwuf’ in the Muslim world, in the West it is often erroneously thought of as a separate sect. It was a truly divine experience for all of us when Sufism lifted our spirits up and helped us connect in a larger than life way.

Craft Mela organized by Study Hall Junior School

Posted on by

There was a riot of colours on the grounds of Study Hall on 20th February, 2019 as the Junior School organized the Craft Mela.

It was indeed delightful to see the children’s enthusiasm as they sat together in groups to churn out the most vibrant craft items with their nimble fingers.

Keeping in mind the three R’s (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) the young ones made all possible efforts to bring out the ‘ best from the waste’.

It was an exhibition with a difference.  The visitors were greatly impressed to watch the children in the process of making the craft items instead of merely displaying the finished products.  Very confidently, the children also explained the entire process to the parents, leaving them awe-struck.

Dosti too was a part of the Craft Mela where they displayed the craft items prepared by them. These were highly appreciated by the parents.

We are proud to mention that many parents donated generously and the proceeds from the Mela will now be handed over to GyanSetu. This move has also helped to build empathy in our children. The spirit of teamwork was clearly evident as the children happily engaged in creative pursuits.

The table above shows the amount of water saved by our team in one month

In this project, we inserted bottles filled with pebbles and sand in the cisterns of our school. It uses the displacement method, by which less water is flushed, which is saving around 2O percent of water usage. Within three months only we saved approximately 67,080 liters of water.  By this method, we are not only preventing water wastage but also reducing the water carbon footprint.
