A unique speciality of our school is the International partnership that we have developed with MILL HILL SCHOOL in LONDON.
This partnership has brought about positive and fruitful changes in our teaching approaches and classroom organizations.
The Students exchange program provides plenty of opportunities for meaningful interactions between the students of MILL HILL & SRI JAYENDRA. This stands as an example to realize the value of true friendship to bring out peace and harmony.
The interactive sessions creates confidence in students and they become more secure in knowledge that, they can live anywhere in the world, make friends with anyone, be welcomed and loved anywhere.
This year is the 19th year of our International partnership with MILLHILL SCHOOL, London.
Interactive sessions
A batch of 12 students and 3 staff reached here on 23rd of June. With bubbling excitement our students of class 4 to 7 attended the English classes of the Mill Hill Students. The Millhillians were so kind and concern to our students and taught them through various rhymes, puzzles, games and other activities.
Experiencing our culture
They loved and experienced our culture here with interest. Every evening the Millhillians had music session with our Music staff and Choir children. They learnt dance with our students. They also enjoyed the Priory basket ball tournament, an inter school basket ball tournament organized in our school basket ball ground during their presence here.
They loved shopping in our town shops and our school staff accompanied them happily to Courtallam waterfall, Nellaippar temple and other places. During weekends they went to Kodaikkanal and Kanyakumari. We also arranged a Mehandi session for them in the school.
