Communication Credo is one of the foundations of FIITJEE Global Schools for transforming our young minds into an engaging, dominant, and charismatic personality. In the gamut of “Art of Communication”, Public Speaking is among the most desired – but least attempted – skill to earn recognition in social and professional lives.

We have taken it upon ourselves to create a platform for the aspiring student community to learn, prepare and perform on stage so that they stand for eloquent discourse. Consequently, our initiative tedc was born with a lot of planning and analysis.

The Program made its debut on 21st May 2022 at the school’s Auditorium – Pratibha Manch at FGS Vengambakkam, Chennai wherein quite aspirants from various schools participated. Their enthusiasm for the opportunity was worth to notice. They also received key guidance from our communication teachers on the essential elements of preparation and delivery of the speech on stage with an impact. Finally, the participants took the stage in turn and turned-out effective deliveries bringing forth the learnings they obtained earlier.

Encouraged by the opening salvo of approval, we staged the next event of tedc at our sprawling School campus at Vellore with renewed commitment. Enthusiastic students of the region marched in on the day of the event, 5th June 2022 in large numbers. The program progressed on the standardized format as the participants enjoyed the expert inputs on public speaking and then proceeded to practice and perform with telling effect to the elation of their parents present in the audience. To judge this event senior faculties from the communication and English department from Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore honored us with their grand presence.

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, as a part of “The Starshot Project has an ambitious attempt to send solar sails to the closest star at one-quarter of the speed of light in 20 years”. With our current technology, it would take around 40,000 years to reach there. James Cameron is investing in a project called “Planetary Resources”, a company that uses robotic ships to mine gold and precious minerals from asteroids. So, it is a wonderful period in the timeline of humankind’s existence to be a part of space technological innovations and advancements. Our vision is to prepare the children, future-ready.

We, at Skyward Astronomy club, are working with an objective to guide students who are interested in Astronomy and thereby attempting to create more scientists in the field who would represent India at a global scale and broaden the spectrum of the field through their humble contribution.

05th Achievement From Routine Nearby Field Trips to Experiential educational Expedition

Experiential Learning at FGS

Learning has many facets. Knowledge, Understanding, Experience, and Reflection are a few of them. While knowledge of facts is a necessary step for learning, it cannot be the only step. In our common experience, while speaking to thousands of students, we have learned in most places of education, that knowledge of facts is considered to be the epitome of learning. The focus is primarily on scoring marks in examinations. However, unless a student understands, experiences, and reflects they cannot assimilate the knowledge they have acquired through the rote learning method.

At FIITJEE Global School, we value the real understanding of the subjects by the students. We want our students to learn fundamentally with a strong conceptual understanding. In our classes, our teachers ensure that the students are not mechanically taught but are prodded to think and ask questions. We at FGS also ensure that every student is taken through the cycle of Learn, Practice, Tests, and Analysis which strengthens their fundamental understanding. However, we do not limit ourselves over here. To make learning more experiential, we regularly organize educational expeditions. One recently concluded was at HAL and the Science and Technology Museum in Bangalore.

The uniqueness of this expedition lies in its blend of learning and fun. The choice of places to visit was chosen to ensure that it can generate interest and nudge the philosopher inside each student by forcing them to wonder about the vastness and beauty of science. Unlike most school trips, which become mere sightseeing tours, the FGS educational trip to Bangalore was an eventful experience of learning new things.

147 Students of classes VI to XI participated in this trip. They were accompanied by 16 teachers. Among them were 8 Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Astronomy & Robotics teachers who had relevant knowledge about places chosen for a visit. While planning the expedition, we were mindful of choosing teachers with science and technology backgrounds. Similarly, extra care was taken to choose the transport. Student comfort had always been our priority is evident from our airconditioned classrooms and buses as we believe that a conducive environment aids learning. With a similar line of thought, we did not want our students to get tired because of the journey, hence we chose the best multi-axle luxury buses. The stay of the students was arranged at Fortune Park -JP Celestial, a four-star hotel. We are sure very few schools will be as mindful as we are about the comfort and safety of our students.

The first stop of our visit was at the Science and Technology Museum. The Museum is divided into different segments of Engineering, Space-Science, Biotechnology, Sound & Music, Fun-science, etc. The relevant teachers guided them through the exhibits, explaining them in detail. The students learned a lot of new things, a few of them were how an engine works, what is the difference between a four-stroke and two-stroke engine, the difference between a diesel engine and a petrol engine, how a thermal power station, hydel power station, and nuclear power station works, what are different parts of an engine, what is a centrifugal speed governor, how optical illusions are created, how biotechnology can used to reduce food shortage, how human races are different genetically, etc.

Our second stop was at the Lalbagh botanical garden. The rains could not dampen the spirits of the students and the teachers. The biology teachers took a lead here and guided the students through different plants, their characteristics, and parts of a flower and got the student acquainted with some uncommon plants. The Latin names were so flying air that for some time we felt like we are back in history.

The last stop of our trip was at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) convention center and museum. It was like a walkthrough of the history of the Indian aviation industry. The students learned about the special role played by HAL in shaping the aviation sector of the Indian air force. The sight of real fighter jets was enough to boost our adrenaline levels. Life-size models of the aeroplanes and helicopters made by the HAL were real inspirations for the students. The teachers were proactive to explain to the students how airplanes fly, the student became familiar with the difference in the aerodynamics of an aeroplane and a helicopter, and the teachers explained to the students about PSLV and GSLV and their heat shield, rocket launches, etc.

The return journey was loaded with fun, indelible memories, and loads of learning!

07th Achievement From Once a week Sports/Game Period to True Sports training at School

FIITJEE Global School’s philosophy embodies sports as a mechanism not merely to keep ourselves fit but to teach us self-discipline and to lead us to conscientious character building, as we believe “Sports creates character, builds character, and reveals character.” Equal importance is given to Yoga and Meditation, as it is the basis for a great life that has been gifted to the world by our ancient tradition.

In pursuit of this ideology, our Department of Health & Physical Education encourages students to take up at least one sport as a mandatory discipline through our sports club apart from the regular physical education class. It is with a view to ascending the chosen field to an advanced and professional altitude of National and International repute. Besides several routine games, Basketball, Volleyball, throw ball, Tennis, and Cricket are given special thrust.

At FIITJEE Global School, unlike regular schools, sports are not given just a period or two in a week but almost 6 periods are allocated for sports and games. Out if 6, 4 periods are for selected sports club’s coaching/training, so that the students gain special expertise in the game.

Sports imbibe the noble qualities of camaraderie, humility, sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership and resolution of differences & obstacles. Besides, students also learn how to apply these athletic skills throughout their life. Side by side due care is taken to ensure age-appropriate Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation practices are administered to the students for overall physical and mental fitness and development of high SQ. They are sharp-witted and vibrant to deal with challenging situations with equanimity.

Kidus Optimus wing of FIITJEE Global School helps every child participate and love going to School

Making every child comfortable to talk and express.

We Let every child be comfortable to open up his/her thoughts. Observations are made by making notes on how the child acts at school and at home. Important Information about the child is gathered from parents, to make the classroom an engaging and comfortable place for him/her.

Bringing all their interests to school.

Most of the kids fear school environment because they fear new place. If their interests are brought to the class, they will find the class to be a familiar and happy place to spend time. For example, if a child is fascinated by car toys, we let them bring collection in to share with the class. There could be many opportunities for them to talk or answer questions about their favourites. Having their favourite things in class helps them melt their shyness.

Giving them responsibilities at school to feel confident.

Young toddlers feel more confident and happier when they are given some responsibilities that they are comfortable with. They take it very seriously and work towards it with support of parents and teachers.

09th Achievement Hello Teacher App developed by Students

FIITJEE Global School launches “Hello Teacher” App

During Covid, there were ample solutions available for making Online classes and assignment sharing easy and secure. If one solution had some advantages then other had some better ones. Still there were certain issues faced by teachers and parents which were not noticed by developers. Some of the concerns like

Forwarding the assignments in WhatsApp groups. The issue of individual privacy remained unresolved. Though the school decorum was managed by the teachers, but they couldn’t control the messaging by participants.
Assignment submitted by students were seen by all.
Phone numbers of the parents getting leaked was another important concern which was leading to a high chance of receiving junk calls, messages, etc.

Keeping the attitude to solve specifically this problem, FIITJEE Global School, on 5th September 2021, gifted all the students and teachers of India an android app named ‘Hello Teacher’ solely developed by the teachers of Coding Castle – an inhouse coding club of FIITJEE Global School which made a lasting impact in the lives of the teachers, students, and parent.

‘Hello Teacher’ is an advanced communication app like WhatsApp with modifications suitably for teachers and students. When the teacher posts an assignment in the group the same cannot be forwarded outside. When students submit their responses, other students will not be able to see them and get influenced by them. Each group has a unique code and is available only to the teachers. Students can join the group once the code is shared by the teacher. As far as the privacy of the parent’s mobile number is concerned, it remains unrevealed apart from the teacher.

Teachers can download this app from the Google Play Store and register as Teachers with their school domain e-mail (e.g. yourname@yourschool.com) if the school is already registered otherwise use the ‘Add School’ option provided in the app. Students can also download this app on their android phones and register as a student using their Mobile Numbers.
