Republic Day at Shigally 2012

shigally — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:17:56 +0000

The farsightedness and visionary statesmanship of our founder leaders found expression in the constitution, the supreme law of the land, which was enforced on 26^th Jan, 1950 under the president ship of Dr. Rajendra Prasad. On 26^th Jan, 2012 SIA organized a school function to mark the eventful day.

This year, the program began ceremoniously with the unfurling of the National Tricolour by our Principal, Mrs. K. Jolly, followed by the rendition of the National Anthem. On this day it was felt, one should prize education for itself, and not for any ultimate benefit which may result from it. The Principal in her address stressed and emphasized on the Board students to wholeheartedly devote themselves for the forthcoming Examination.

Finally the program ended with high tea for all. The staff and the students greeted each other on this special day.

Founders Day 2011

shigally — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:59:23 +0000

The Shigally Hill International Academy once more carried out with full camaraderie its ninth founders day function amid elaborate arrangements that astonished everyone, including its own founding members who have translated into reality their adept vision for a school that is international in its true spirit and ideology and matches par excellence the students requirement and parents ambitions with the needs of this info- revolutionary era.

The Uttarakhand D.G.P (vigilance) Mr. Satyavrat, an IPS officer of the 1976 batch was the chief guest for the occasion, who graced the inaugural function on the 10^th of December 2011, First on the itinerary was a presentation by students on “My Earth My Life”. The purpose of the presentation was to create a greater awareness among all about this beautiful living planet and value of protecting from its degradation. It was understood with utmost ease by each and all and much appreciated too.

Next on the itinerary was staged the world wide renowned ‘Forever Tagore’ – the personal collection of Tagore’s songs from ‘Gitanjali’. The whole concept development and choreography was by Mrs. Sharmila Bhadri an ace Oddissi dancer of National and International repute. The masterpiece dance performance left the audience mesmerized with its special effects. This was an absolute remarkable and awesome performance by the very young girls of SIA. Another major attraction for all the Shigallians parents and staff was the launching of the Annual Magazine, ‘The Shigallian’. It was released by the chief guest of honour Mr. Satyavrat. Being an international School in letter and spirit, two folk dances of Thailand and Nepal were staged by students from these countries to represent the global spirit the School stands for.

Next was a presentation by class twelve students on ‘peace and harmony’. The young girls tirelessly worked to spread awareness among people on pressing issues like domestic violence, corruption, poverty, terrorism and riots, and voiced their innocent desire for peace and harmony in the universe. This was followed by a choir song reflecting the same message titled ‘heal the world’. Finally, the much awaited moment arrived when the school principal / Director Mrs. Manraj Pallan addressed the audience and shared her views on issues related with quality education and how she strongly believes that the spectrum of the curriculum with its depth and range, can be beneficial to the students towards their holistic development only if it is made vibrant and functional which is what the school is always aspiring towards.
