The whole of

Albert Einstein
YEARBOOK 2018-19
NAVRACHANA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, VADODARA
A message from the
Chairperson
“To develop a complete mind, study the Science of Art, study the Art of Science. Learn
to see and realize that everything connects to everything else.”
Leonardo da Vinci
The years at School are some of the most enjoyable ones in every child's life. The child
makes friends that are often with him for life, learns something new every day, plays
mischief, understands what rewards and what punishes, and how to accept failure
with calmness and introspection and success with delight and empathy. But School
can also be a challenging place – its definitive pedagogy of compulsory subjects can
sometimes be cumbersome for those children with specific talents and with a certain
bent of mind that helps them appreciate the sciences more than the humanities or
vice versa. These children often flower and shine when they leave School and go to
Universities where they can pursue studying and researching what they love most,
and are freed of the 'compulsory subjects'!
However Life continues to throw a number of 'boring, compulsory subjects' at us.
Engineer-entrepreneurs have to balance their books of accounts; artists need to
know how all about anatomy to get that human figure right; doctors must be good
administrators to run their clinics well; being a good chef is a wise mix of having a
discerning tongue, knowledge about nutrition and smart presentation skills; writers
need to keep themselves updated on legal matters related to copyright rules and
regulations. Those who can manage the balancing act well, usually come out on the
top of their professions.
Where do we learn these balancing tricks? Believe it or not --- it's in School. As we
struggle with arithmetic when all we want to do is practice on the drumset or when
we would rather be in the chemistry lab than fiddle around with water colours in the
art class – that's where we unconsciously train ourselves to 'deal' with responsibility --
- what 'must be dealt with', however unpleasant it might be at that time. Our minds
also mature thus and as we grow into youthful adulthood, we can decide when it is ok
to go for a drive with friends and enjoy ourselves, but also to make sure that we work
into the night to finish the last bit of the project work that needs to be submitted in
class the next morning.
School teaches us that in life everything is inter-related. To appreciate what a piece of
work is Man, we need to understand literature, biology, philosophy, physics,
aesthetics, music and the environment.
And that is why teaching STEM is no longer just Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math, but STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math!
Tejal Amin
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity;
and I'm not sure about the universe. - Albert Einstein

A message from the
Principal
th
World Science Day celebrated on November 10 and our very own National Science
th
Day celebrated on Feb 28 underpin the importance and relevance of science in
society and in our daily lives. The celebrations underscore the role science plays in
broadening our understanding of the remarkable, fragile planet we call home, and
our responsibility in making this, our home, more sustainable.
Year Book 2018-19 is an opportunity to celebrate NISVs own journey through the year
in this Area of Knowledge we call Science. Simultaneously, it lauds our very own
budding scientists, their research, contribution and experiential learning in the
process.
Pranshu Dave reached the top thirty, the world over for her three minute video, that
explained the 'Wave-Particle Duality” from Quantum Physics- in the Breakthrough
Junior Challenge. Kairav Shah conducted lab research at the University of Missouri,
Columbi on the development of a Lateral Flow Immunoassay (LFIA) strip to test for
retinopathy in infants using gold nanoparticles to detect a biomarker in urine samples
and presented the findings in a poster summarizing the research at the department of
radiology at the University of Columbia, Missouri, USA. Tejas Sharma has two Trollgen
Studio apps to his name on Google Play. More recently, Abir won the Gold Medal in
the Junior Category at the World Robotics Championship held in China. At NISV, we
hosted the CBSE Regional Science Exhibition which saw over 100 science exhibits on
display from various CBSE schools in the region. Our very own team were among a few
others who represented the Region at the National round in New Delhi. Our teachers
and students have participated in various Community Science Centre and other
events locally and have gained valuable insights for life and learning. The BRAINFEED
EXCELLENCE AWARD that NISV received during the year for STEM Education and
Innovative Practices and the National Green Mentors “Inspiring Climate School
Award” are testimony to a year at NISV that endeavored to give impetus to and focus
on inculcating a Scientific temper in all we do.
Year Book 2018-19 applauds and acknowledges every member of this community
that we call NISV, for participating in this endeavor, hallmarking their achievements,
and creating footprints for the road ahead.
I would like to end with the words of Albert Einstein, “The whole of science is nothing
more than a refinement of everyday thinking.” And so every page of this yearbook is
laced with a quote from some scientist with the hope that these quotes enlighten and
motivate us reach our goals and refine our everyday thinking.

A message
from the
Editor
To say that the past year was the most thrilling one of my life would be an understatement. The
year was a celebration of the heights that NISV reached; the new horizons we pursued as students.
From on-stage drama to competing with many schools in sports to emerging champions in
competitions; every milestone was worthy of appreciation and warmed our hearts.
Hosting events like NIMUN 8 and 9, Concert, and various other occasions nudged me out of the
shell I had created for myself. The highlight was getting the chance to lead the school press for
NIMUN 8 as well as NIMUN 9. Compiling the newsletter for the NIMUN conference and getting to
interact with personalities I could only aspire to be, has definitely been a memory I will cherish
always.
Now, the year comes to a close the editorial team is proud to bring to you this edition of the NISV
Yearbook. It is our hope that you take pleasure in reading it as memories of another eventful year
unravel through these pages, leaving you wistful, yet satisfied, at the same time.
The year 2018-19 was a melting pot of memories which will be cherished for years to come.

Coordinator’s Messages
The IBDP team believes in what Robert Maynard Hutchins, an American educational philosopher says
"Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle
their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible."
Some of the highlights of IBDP 2018-19 student- led events, where they excelled , were Navrachana
International Model United Nations conference- 9, Teacher's Day celebration and The School funfair
“Fiesta de Melodia.”
Jyoti Nagar
IB DP Coordinator
This year, three IBDP students, along with 4 CBSE students, escorted by Ms. Jyoti Nagar went to ISSR,
Sweden on a student Exchange Programme.
The year 2018-19 has been a momentous year. The IGCSE results are a testimony to the dedication of
the students and the relentless efforts of the teachers. The MYP section has become competent in E-
learning through the use of tablets and Managebac software to connect teachers, students and
parents online for sharing teaching resources, assessments and report cards.
The students' engagement with Service as Action activities, the MYP Conclave and the interdisciplinary
activities, has given them the much needed impetus to hone their ATL skills.
Usha Singh
IB MYP Coordinator
Pre-Primary and Primary section lay the foundation stone in the all-round development process of a
child's growth. We at NISV always strive to make the learning process joyful and work towards providing
students with the skills and the knowledge required to meet the challenges in the future.
The New Year began with the hustle and bustle of settling down and the arrival of new faces .The PYP staff
took their positions with reviewed vigour and enthusiasm to provide the young minds with the best
possible environment and techniques of learning.
Viraaj Jhaveri
IB PYP Coordinator
The only distracting element was the excessive heat …but…The Show Must Go On !!
Our motto “Enlightening, Empowering and Educating” is our guiding force that kept all of us committed
to the programme and helped us execute all our units with utmost zeal providing opportunities for
students to exchange , explore and learn.
At NISV we open doors to new ideas and diversity, thus empowering students to learn from each other
and making them lifelong learners.
The good thing about science is that
it's true whether or not you believe in it. - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Assit. IB PYP Coordinator
Learning is the process of constantly updating in an ever changing world. The first five years experiences
the most rapid changes of life and are critical in a child's development. . Learning at our school is based on
the fundamental principles of life; providing opportunities for children to develop the various traits of the
IBPYP Leaner Profile. In the PYP years we have always tried to provide the best possible environment for
children, keeping them busy with learning activities and also ensuring that learning is a great lot of fun.
Students have participated whole heartedly in a number of events and learning engagements which have
helped them blossom into confident, expressive individuals with the ability to think for themselves and
come up with solutions. A number of show and tell activities, presentations, group work, skits, dances, art
activities, project displays, games and various celebrations have enhanced the elements of creativity and
enthusiasm in their journey of learning.
Another bustling year has gone by. New faces brought new challenges. New ideas and perspectives were
realized to fulfil requirements of the instructional process. Initially, the mind was clouded with pressing
questions around catching students' attention, making them focus, channelizing their energy, and
sensitizing them. My anxiety was laid to rest when I learnt that this group of jovial and determined
students decided to help an ailing staff member. Needless to say, my team had achieved their objective. I
was touched by this gesture, the warmth of which will be felt for years to come.
Vijayalakshmi Nair
CBSE HS Coordinator
“Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic
parents with high expectations”
At NISV, our approaches to learning is child centric, encouraging activity based learning and inculcating a
scientific temperament, to adopt and accomodate new changes. In our curriculum the student is the
primary focus and each child is involved in the learning process. We are constantly improving on our
teaching methodology, so that it turns learning into a combination of classroom study, research and
scientific discovery.
Anagha Pathak
CBSE Coordinator
While academic excellence is our major thrust, the school is also devoted to prepare the students for life
through' Happiness Classes' once a week, groom them to face the challenges of tomorrow and become
mindful through mediation, regular counselling sessions, career guidance and encourage them to be
socially relevant.
We constantly endeavour to always live up to this ideology and inculcate this practice into everything we
do, with the aim that we will be able to ensure that the children grow to their full potential, while
constantly being groomed to pass out as men and women of calibre, competent enough to bear all
responsibilities in all walks of life.
I am confident that the NISVians will make themselves stronger day by day, adding a new leaf to the
grandeur of the school.
You cannot teach a man anything;
you can only help him discover it in himself. - Galileo

Learning is the process of constantly updating in an ever-changing world. All our academic, co-curricular
and extra-curricular activities during the academic year 2018-19, were aimed at the future focussed
education to equip our students with skills and knowledge for life and inspire them to be contributing
citizens.
At NISV we believe that a calm mind and the right attitude is the key to success. This year along with
regular assembly and classroom meditation sessions, we introduced heartfulness meditation.

(Grades 4-6)
The year 2018-19 was a strenuous and marvelous year both in terms of academics and co-curricular
activities. The teachers worked diligently to ensure compliance with educational standards, school and
student performance and accountability. We assessed student performances to determine the ways in
which instructional approaches need to be changed or modified. We along with our counsellors
established systems and procedures to achieve a productive learning environment while responding to
learners need. The teachers and students put in great efforts to make the class presentations successful.

IT Coordinator
As we continue in this era of technology, in the IT department, we have been taking steps towards
polishing our skills and providing reliable, available and secure IT resources for our students, faculty and
staff. With the construction of additional spaces in the third floor of our main building, we worked in our
pilot project to provide a WIFI environment, which has given us a stable and strong infrastructure to satisfy
the needs of the 21st century education where internet is required and see the feasibility for the whole
building to have the same infrastructure. We also are very satisfied with the introduction of an (Enterprise
resource planning) ERP software that is giving us a robust and stable infrastructure to manage our critical
data, and I am sure most of you have enjoyed receiving circulars, messages and even paying fees from the
comfort of your mobile devices. As always, we are planning, assessing and getting ready for the new
academic year that will bring its own challenges, but we look forward to them and the solutions that we
will find on the way.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Engaging in Sports activities each week helps improve focus on school work, as well as helps the students
lead happier, healthier lives. Here are four reasons why students should be involved in structured, before
/after-school physical activities. Academic Performance, Fitness Habits, Mental and Emotional Benefits,
Development of Specific Skills.
In year 2018-19, we tried to ensure that each child get these four benefits by involving themselves in
School physical activities.
Rajgopalan G.
Sports Coordinator
The aim in the year gone by was to reduce paper usage. Most of the school records are converted to e-
records through a new software “Vidyalaya” including the filling of online admission forms for the new
admissions for the upcoming year. The school got award for “Environment Awareness Among
Youngsters” and SOCLEEN “Excellence Award” in Inter-school Cleanliness Competition. The school has
also initiated revamping and construction work in the school hostel.

"I never dreamed about success, I worked for it."
A veritable 'coming-of-age' chapter inked, is what the last academic year has been for the English
department! Our students, across the spectrum, left memorable imprints, in myriad ways, across
diverse fora in School, the State, Nationally and Internationally. Underpinning their stellar
achievements lies the steadfast and consecrated promotion of academic outreach programmes,
which the teachers persevere to sustain . The excellent examination results further testify to the
department's concerted effort.
A rich corpus of teaching resources enhance pedagogical practices and professional enrichment.

Sometimes the pathway dictates that the process comes down to hard work, rather than inspiration,
but teaching is all about the rapport between a teacher and a pupil, more than anything else.
Teaching English language, after all, is about a fruitful engagement in getting children to
conceptualize, understand, relate, connect and apply their language abilities in the spoken and
written context relevant to the need of the hour.
Our team of English teachers have been facilitating and guiding students for all IHAs, State level and
National Level competitions which include debates, elocutions and a volley of writing activities
across. This team of supportive professionals have extended their unflinching support and set high
standards, enabling the learners to hone their language skills.

To widen the horizons and foster global-mindedness in the students, the department of Modern
Foreign Languages extends learning beyond classroom. Students showcase their knowledge and
proficiency in school assemblies and various cultural festivals celebrated in the school. Like every
year, German learners got the opportunity to attend various workshops during German Days at NISV.
Two students won the scholarship from Goethe Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan to attend a 3 weeks'
youth course in Germany. We joined hands with a French school 'Lycee Sainte –Anne' in Brest (France)
for the students exchange program. 15 students from France visited us in December 2018 and our 15

The academic year 2018-19 has been a yet another landmark year in the field of language education
at NISV. Our academic year's endeavor was to facilitate the Hindi language teaching-learning process
a more dynamic and engaging one. We have also made a very productive and effective use of digital
learning aids to further enhance the students's vocabulary building skills and language proficiency.
Flip-classrooms have proved to be highly fruitful and interesting for students. The Department of
Hindi was thriving with activities like Hindi Super Speller, Hindi Diwas celebrations, National and
Cultural festival celebrations and class assemblies. Lastly, I appreciate my team of dynamic and highly
creative teachers for their relentless efforts and enthusiasm in making all the events a great success.

House
of
Nurturers
The year 2018-19, exhibited an all new
Nurturers in terms of work ethics. The drama
competition is an honorable mention that
delineated a story of team work, frustration
and creative differences amongst the team.
Nevertheless, the Nurturers put their heads
together to exhibit an exceptional
performance. However, the annual 'Sports
Day' truly showed the colors of the house.
Fierce competition alongside acts of
sportsmanship, led to a phenomenal title
race.
House
of
Inquirers
The House of Inquirers has demonstrated a
strong team spirit and an indomitable will to
win throughout the year. We won the
championship for lawn tennis. Another
feather in our cap was winning the Inter-house
Drama competition. It was gratifying to see the
students competing in right earnest. There
were a few disappointments and a few joyful
moments, yet we forged our way through, to
the end, and savoured every moment of the
exercise.

The main purpose of a team is to have a

Seekers as a strong team left not a single stone
unturned in their joint effort, and bagged the
“Best House Trophy” as well as the “Champion
House Trophy” for the academic year 2018-19.
Heartiest Congratulations to the entire Seekers
team for their commendable achievements!
What I believe is that “Every child is unique and a
great performer. If everyone in the team is
moving forward together, then success takes
care of itself and that is what gives us strength
and confidence to work towards our goals and
achievements”. Life full of bright opportunities
and lots of success in waiting is sure to tint their
future endeavors.
House of Venturers
The Venturers have been a very creative and dynamic
house this year with Shree Patel and Shivam Patel
leading them. From the unexpectedly commendable
performance in the march past during the sports day
showcasing unity, perseverance and team-spirit, to the
collaboration and innovative thinking during the
bulletin board decoration, they have truly grown
together as a group. Exchanging and expressing
interesting ideas during debates and speeches, and
planning an entire theatrical production during the
house activity – with script writing, stage decoration
and performances – they inspired themselves to take
on the challenges, and solve them, learning important
life skills together in the process.

their learning and enhanced their knowledge during the academic year 2018-
19. They got various opportunities and hand-on experiences through POI units
to showcase their talent and developed thinking, social and communication
skills in their early years. It was a big achievement for them reading and framing
sentences using three letter words and sight words. Also, holding the pencil for
the first time, making different patterns & numbers, writing letters, taking part
in Annual concert, world animal day, Group dance and Sport day was an
amazing experience for the children to grow and develop their motor skills. We
felt like understanding each student better and better, as we progressed in the

The year flew by with a group of highly motivated and caring students, whose
enthusiasm for learning and thirst for knowledge made the year and enriching
experience for both the students as well as the teachers. They participated
whole heartedly and enjoyed themselves during all the activities, academic or
extra-curricular. In all of these learning engagements they developed their
social as well as communication skills. They built their profiles of being
inquirers, principled, caring and balanced, thereby inquiring, nurturing,
seeking and venturing into the unknown with zeal.

The adjective that best describes this class of Grade 1 is affectionate. Each
student exhibited his/her caring attitude through small actions such as
listening attentively and taking criticism constructively to bring about a positive
change in them. They enlivened each unit of inquiry with their curiosity and
quest for knowledge. Their enthusiasm for learning never waned, be it the field
trips that we undertook or the two day outbound trip to Camp Dilly. I wish them
to bloom into truly international minded individuals who will help to create a
better and more peaceful world.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a teacher has been watching you
grow over the course of the year. You all have blossomed into young scholars;
and I am so proud of you all. Letters and sounds soon become words that
invited you into the world of reading and writing, giving your strong voices to
express yourselves. You grew as individuals too, exploring your independence
and what it means to be a kind and caring student, classmate and friend. As you
venture off, I hope that you will take what you have learned at the Harbour, and
apply it towards your schoolwork, your friendships, and any other situations
that you may encounter.
All the Best!!

Each one of them was unique.
Some were so quiet, some were born leaders,
Some loved singing; For some, dance was a passion,
Some would flatter you with their charming talks,
Some would shower you with unconditional love.
They were like uncut diamonds. I don't know what they will become in future
but I do wish that they don't lose their innocence and goodness.

Believing that 'The teacher is no longer the gatekeeper of all knowledge', my
role switched to guide, assistant, and enabler of student potential. My efforts
were directed towards supporting and guiding students. This year a bunch of
bubbly, cute and hardworking students, amazed me with their inquisitiveness
and communication skills. They were extremely enthusiastic and super risktakers.
They kept me on my toes and challenged me with their ideas,
inventions which further motivated me to use more innovative and challenging
ideas and strategies of teaching and facilitating within the grade room. I wish
them all the very best for their endeavour and wish that they continue their
journey further with the same enthusiasm and zest.

“Education is not to reform the students or amuse them or to make them
expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame
their intellects and teach them to think straight, if possible.” The student
group of Grade 3B, Year 2018-19, was so full of energy and positivity that each
activity and each challenge, whether academic or extracurricular, was taken up
with great enthusiasm and vigour. They enjoyed the moments of fun and
laughter, also overcoming all the difficulties, however big or small, they faced.
The resolve to keep on going ahead on the path of achieving the different goals
remained unshaken. Thus team building and cooperation along with being
empathetic was the flavour of the class throughout the year that bonded the
students together.

these students learn and grow in this year. They all were amazing and open
minded with unique skills and abilities. They all blossomed into young scholars
and responsible students, I was so proud to see them perform and display their
understanding of our program during the IB PYP Exhibition. Letters and Sounds
became words that invited them into the world of reading and writing, giving
them strong voices to express themselves. They grew as individuals exploring
their independence and became kind and caring students, classmates &

they have acquired in PYP and apply the same in future in their daily lives.
Congratulations on their achievements and best wishes for their future

Someone said “While we teach our students all about life, our students teach
us what life is all about”. This is exactly what I felt being grade tutor for my
grade 5B students . A strong – minded class, it had its quota of pranksters,
humorists, academicians and absent minded dreamers. When we think of that
energetic bunch of students, that instant reflection brings a smile which lights
up my face and heart. Individually , they were highly original children, but each
one of them was generous and always ready to help their peers who
sometimes needed a little hand holding thus binding the entire class in a single
unit. Together we tried to weave dreams and move on with our learning
experiences both within the four walls as well as outside the classroom. And
one fine day , they were ready to graduate to a higher class. Here's wishing
them all the best from the bottom of my heart and finally to conclude, I 'll like
to quote this for my students “Go the extra Mile , it's never crowded .”

It was a whirlwind year which went by like a breeze. The students were very
loving and I as their grade tutor loved being with them and mentoring them.
The famous philosopher Bertrand Russel has said, 'When you want to teach
children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little,
giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and
solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant
thoughts from the beginning.' I'm glad that I could incorporate all this in my
gem of a class.

I'm not the only one who feels unsure about their new class – and think more

collaboration between the teacher and her students.
Forming a covalent bond with this new class, was a challenge. This class of
2018-19 was a group of curious, intelligent and highly reactive elements.
However, on the whole I was delighted with my class. They were kind, funny,
thoughtful and creative also. Eager to learn, their questions kept me on my toes
but were generally perceptive and interesting. Their kindness to each other,
and to me, was special.

It had been a splendid year with grade 11 B where every success became a
cause to celebrate and every set back an opportunity to reflect for
improvement. Over this past year, they have become an amazingly unique and
talented group of young adults with immense potential for a bright and fruitful
future. Mentoring and facilitating my class has provided immense gratification

The Class of 2019 holds a special place in our hearts as we have journeyed
together for yet another year rising to every challenge along the way!
The success of our students is the result of their hard work, perseverance,
learning from failure and their insatiable longing for perfection. Their ability to
discipline themselves, set clear goals and then work toward them is the
hallmark of their excellence.
Students, as you step out of the portals of the school, let A. A, Milne's words
resonate with you, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem
and smarter than you think .”

It is said that - 'Adventures are forever.' The journey of being the grade tutor of
XII A was definitely adventurous right through. Understanding the students and
nurturing them with sensitivity, politeness, discipline and gratitude was indeed
a challenging task in itself. The learning, that was extracted, has been
immensely enriching and energizing. Hope that these young lights not only
kindle the flame of goodness and knowledge in them but also spread it
wherever they go.

The moment I walked into grade 12 B, a sea of curious, mischievous, beaming

adopted their role as responsible seniors, making a difference by setting their
differences aside and sticking together to the finish line. They completed the
final lap of school journey with great achievements and beautiful

In Retrospect
Navrachana International has given me the best sixteen years of my life with the most talented and supportive teachers and staff. With
that it has also helped me fixate my path towards success. It has taught how to never give up and to keep pushing as hard as I can.
Furthermore it has given friendships that will last a lifetime. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you every single person, whether it be
teachers, coordinators and staff members, who made this journey extremely fruitful and enriching.
AASHNA PANDYA, NISV, IB
“Entering the School's portico, I was awestruck by the sheer size of the grounds beyond, reflective of the larger horizons that lay in store.
As a hesitant and shy 9th Grader, I strove to prove my mettle in both academic and sporting fields, at the same time extremely eager to
make new friends. The numerous opportunities helped boost my confidence, simultaneously nurturing my perseverance, resilience and
leadership abilities. Initially wary and wide-eyed, I was soon engulfed in the warmth of the atmosphere, allowing me to blossom. Never
penalised for making mistakes, I was constantly encouraged to learn from them. As I set out on the journey of self-discovery, I started
asserting my beliefs, rather than shying away. This Institution has helped me come into my own, inspiring me to unravel myself and
discover unchartered dimensions, beyond a high-spirited girl obsessed with reading and everything Harry Potter. For all this and more, I
shall forever be grateful to all my mentors and friends.”
KRITHI GANESH, NISV, IB
"This journey has been an incredible one. I've been able to experience so much within these two years. From leading Seekers House as
one of its Captains to white water rafting and bungee jumping at Rishikesh to planning the Funfair and so much more to countless nights
of gruelling study in preparation for the exams. Being apart of the IBDP batch of 2019 has been an amazing experience for me."
JASH ASHER , NISV, IB
It was a wet monsoon day when I first walked the marble pathways of school. Six years later, on an overcast afternoon, I stand on the
same orange marble, bidding goodbye. Much has changed during these years. Faces are now friendly, voices recognised. Even the road
to school has been fixed. At NISV, school was about much more than studies. It was about those precious ten minutes of soccer after
lunch, those last minute group dances for all types of occasions, the daily renditions of the school song on the keyboard for morning
assemblies, the unflattering videos for subject presentations, and a plethora of other activities that have forged the bonds and
memories that will stay with me forever.
Regards,
KAIRAV SHAH, NISV, IB
'This school has taught me several important lessons, including those of confidence, sportsmanship, friendship, and most significantly,
the creation of memories. The past 7 years have given me a platform to build my future, think globally and have made me a better version
of myself, ready for whatever obstacles life has in store for me in the near future. Moreover, I can say that I will always have a special place
for NISV in my heart and I will always cherish these beautiful recollections of my time in school.'
SAMIKSHA PATANGE, NISV, IB
These 15 years at NISV have offered me valuable friendships, unforgettable memories and a platform to build my future and shape my
character. I still remember being the little girl with nervous butterflies in her tummy, walking through the colourful and exuberant
corridors of the school, wondering what the next few years would bring. Little did I know that the last time I would be walking these
corridors, I'd be immersed in nostalgia, thinking about all the laughter, lessons, and stories shared there. I've also seen the school grow
and evolve with me, the auditorium turning into classes, a whole new floor rising. I will miss the smell of Seema ma'am's food wafting
through the corridors, relaxing under the neem tree and many more such precious memories I've made in NISV. I have become stronger,
more independent and fearless, all thanks to the teachers and opportunities that NISV has blessed me with.

NISV , a place where sports and academics run hand to hand ! Really grateful to have studied under such good faculty and the exposure I
got from there couldn't be compared to any other ! I also had a great time playing football over there ! Thank you everyone for making it
the best years of my life !
SHIVAM PATEL, NISV , CBSE
Six years of the exciting and enriching journey came to an end with memories of our teachers, who gave us the strength and time to stand
on our legs, to, the great friends who never left us in a trouble whatsoever, engraved in my heart forever. From a shy and introvert boy, I
have grown up to be a responsible young man. Even though I will be studying in Navrachana University, which is not more than 100 m
from the school, I admit to start missing it even when two weeks are left for the university to start. And for the selfless dedication from
our teachers, there is only one way to repay it: By excelling in our lives with our capabilities, and making them feel proud that we were
once their students. I am taking a bag full of memories that I will cherish every day of my life.
Thank You NISV.
JISHU GUCCHAIT, NISV, CBSE
I've been in this school for almost a decade. I have passed my teen and tween years roaming in the corridors of NISV. Growing together
was taught to me. Over time in school, friends became family, and teachers became mentors. School events didn't remain just events,
they became celebrations. We had a morning quiz from Jeeval about what we had last night, we had sleepless night thanks to our
journals, and we had life skills from all our class teacher after every trouble we caused. I remember the fights we had for small reasons,
the troubles we got into, the laughter we shared during lunch time, all of it is just a mere memory but one day we all will sit down and
recall them, and tears will roll down towards the smile on our lips. But what I will remember the most is the guts it took to ask
Vijayalakshmi Ma'am about anything.
ISHANI RAI, NISV, CBSE
2 years. 2 years of waking up at 5 am playing soccer in the morning and as the first bell of 7:30 am rings running through the same
corridors to reach the class before the grade tutor. 2 years of unthinking laughter, the joy of going for the MPE and also the pain of
projects and term exams. The fastest 2 years of my life. A new classroom, new friends and a new board. These years have molded and
shaped me into what I am today. We all knew one day we must part, but still we continued to live our lives- From minding the school in the
assemblies to troubling teachers with our projects, we have done it all.And now that these wondrous 2 years have finally come to an end,
I wish time would freeze and take me back to the first day of grade 11 for me live them again. The beautiful memories have carved a
monument of trust, respect and friendship not in my mind but in my heart. Bidding Adieu, Batch of 2019.
SHUBHAM SALUNKE, NISV, CBSE
"As it says empowerment, educating and enlightenment. I joined Nisv in grade 9 since then it has become and eternal part of my life.
Through the years Nisv has made me stand confident and a better version of myself. From teachers day to organizing the Valedictory it
was a very hands on experience at a minute level. I will miss conducting the lunch prayers, my teachers and my peers who have supported
me in highs and lows. There are thousands of memories attached to various corridors and the library. It was and will be hard to say good
bye. Until then, Nisv Keep flying high!"
PREET PARIKH , NISV ,CBSE
Life at school just flew by so quick and I wish I could go right at the beginning to see it all again. Navrachana, you make us believe in
ourselves. You've watched us grow through our laughs and tears. I will miss you the most at every stage in my life. Thank you for giving me
the opportunity for all those unforgettable moments. We will meet you every summer and winter break now!
JINAY H SHAH, NISV, CBSE
I don't know how to describe this beautiful journey in such a short writeup.Navrachana gave me my best days and the best family to be a
part of, it taught me “be bold, be courageous, be yourself” and here I am as a mature individual ready to be a part of the real world, all
thanks to my parents and the navrachana family who made me realise that without hardwork there is no success. School days will be
cherished forever

"It's mind bogglingly intimidating as to how to encapsulate all that I feel about NISV into the domain of language. NISV has been almost a
decade of my life. And it indeed has been a momentous span of years for me. Starting from my first year in NISV when I joined in 5th, I was
bestowed the post of Junior Perfect. I was immensely surprised since it was my first year at NISV, and it was a powerful milestone in my
life. Since that day I came to enjoy and cherish the inclusive and wam spirit of the NISV community. I was also privileged to be made
House Prefect and Cultural Affairs Captain and take up the responsibility to work for school and the students along with leading them
ahead. NISV has made me who I am. It has fostered in me the ideals of empathy and compassion, passion for learning, and promoting the
core of ethos of life. It has given me a platform to display my interests and talents. NISV has been the foremost institution of my life in all
respects, and I don't believe that any other organisation will ever come remotely close to the amount of respect and adoration I have for
it.
VASUDEV PATHAK. NISV, CBSE
15 years ago when I walk down the memory lane, I find a young girl with lots of hope and desires enter the school gate. NISV has moulded
this girl to a confident and a disciplined woman. Over the years, the teachers have taught me how to face the world and guided me on my
way to achieve my goals. I thank NISV for letting me be me and widening my horizons to not only academics but self growth. I feel
honoured to have spent the best years of my life in this school which made me realize my potential, capabilities and of course having the
best of lunches on Wednesdays.
NATASHA PATEL, NISV, CBSE
s I move into a completely different phase of my life,it makes me nostalgic thinking about the 15 years of my life at NISV,the place that
became my home,away from home.It will always be the place where I would want to run back to and embrace every single day all over
againt.But,above all,I would miss the teachers and the amazing friends I made throughout these years I spent at school.It gives me
immense happiness and pleasure to have been a part of NISV,learning to nurture,inquire,seek and venture.
HELLY PATEL, NISV, CBSE
NISV,is always going to be my pillar of strength like it has been for 15 years of my school life. It gives me pride to have had spent some

I am today.
PARAM PATEL, NISV, CBSE
Never just a school, but the corridors of my childhood, the wings that gave flight to my fantasies, NISV will always have the most special
place in my heart. I am More than honoured to have spent 15 years at NISV; it has given me the confidence and courage to take up new
challenges and millions of learning experiences - the relationship with my teachers and their faith in me being my strength through out, it
has given me friends that I now call family and last but definitely not the least food that still makes my stomach growl at sharp 11:50.
JEEVAL BANGERA, NISV, CBSE
I still remember how a 4 year old child entered into this glorious school with a water bottle around her neck and a kerchief on her collar
with tears in her eyes, ardently wanting to go back to home. But now as I go to college, every single morning I crave going back to school.
My Home. It would be difficult not to start my day off by walking through those magnificent halls, peeping out of the window during
classes, yearning to gush out in the break time and meet my friends. As I stepped out of my hometown, I found myself between hundreds
of people trying to make their mark. It was NISV, it's teachers and students who taught me how to believe in myself and be confident
about who I am. THANK YOU!
I miss waiting for Wednesday Lunches and doing silly things for that one extra Mendu Vada. Organising events like the Funfair and the
Valedictory will always be the most cherished moments of my life. Once a NISVian always a NISVian. Cheers to NISV.

Life at Boarding
The Academic year 2018-19 began with 54 Boarders. Life in NISV Boarding is full of happening events through the entire year which
engages the children productively at all times. At NISV we believe in nurturing the children in our charge into sensible, disciplined and
responsible youngsters. All boarders were placed into 4 different teams for various competitive activities and games, which contributed
to the social and emotional well-being of our students.
Life in a Boarding is an orderly one to keep our boarders charged and on their toes always. Ramatgamatma' with the underprivileged
children from the neighbouring village communities, a Movie show on Saturdays, dedicated IT time, Personality Development & Life Skill
sessions, Friday Evening Games and Monthly Outings are some eagerly awaited activities. Apart from this, Birthday celebrations, the
Boarders yearly outbound trip and participating in the exciting Vadodara Marathon, with the added attraction of a festive buffet lunch in
a good hotel are added attractions.
Their presence in Soccer, Basketball, Swimming, Handball, Cricket and the school Annual sports program is commendable, earning many
accolades and awards. Their memorable on-stage performances also merit acknowledgement.
Each year has its share of beautiful memories. As we leave this year behind, we look forward to the new year in anticipation of another
fulfilling year at the NISV Boarding.

attended by student delegates from
schools across India. A vibrant academic
cocurricular activity, it witnessed vigorous
debates on real life international affairs to
consider possible solutions benefitting
the global community. The congruence of
our motto, ' In Pursuit Of a Humane
World' with the sentiment, “We are a
world in pieces and we need to be a world
in peace,” voiced by Mr. Antonio Guterres,
Secretary General of the UN, was
established.
“The best brains of the nations may be found on the
last benches of the classrooms.” - Dr. Kalam

imagination. Through the exuberant story
–telling of Vikram and Betal, Tenali Rama,
Gulliver's Travel, The Blue Jackal , Aladdin
and his magic lamp and the Ramayana,
the tiny-tots cast a powerful spell on the
audience. The sugar-sparkle smiles on the
faces of the audience said it all!

The PYP exhibition on “ Pollution” under

primary to middle school. With a pledge
to make NISV noise-free and to spread
awareness about noise-pollution, the
students observed a 'No-Honking Zone' at
school and displayed posters at strategic
points in the city. What better way to
explore the multiple perspectives on this
issue than through models and
experiments to show the adverse effects
of pollution.
