We are proud to share that Sree Saradha of Class 10 has achieved a remarkable milestone by being selected to participate in ‘Prerana’, an experiential learning program organized by the Central Government of India.

This prestigious initiative is specially designed for students from Classes IX to XII and focuses on important areas like heritage, innovation, leadership, and the development of 21st-century skills.

Sree Saradha was chosen from among students across three southern districts. She successfully cleared three challenging preliminary rounds that included showcasing her talents and attending personal interviews.

She attended the one-week residential program held at Vadnagar, Ahmedabad – the very town where our Honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, had his early education. She was accompanied by our dedicated staff member, Mrs. Sneha.

The core themes of the program were:

#Who am I?

#What is our history and cultural heritage?

#What can I do for my country?

The program included various enriching activities such as:

Yoga and mindfulness sessions

Thematic workshops

Indigenous games and creative activities

Visits to historical and archaeological sites

Cultural exchange and interaction with students from other states

Sree Saradha had the opportunity to explore important heritage sites like the Godhra Sun Temple, Hatkeshwar Temple, and art museums. She also learned about the diverse cultures of fellow participants from different parts of India.

At the end of the program, all students wrote heartfelt letters to the Honourable Prime Minister, sharing their experiences and learnings.

This was a golden opportunity for Sree Saradha, and we are truly proud of her dedication and achievement. Her journey will surely inspire many more students to aim high and contribute meaningfully to the nation.

On June 30, our school came alive with joy and cultural vibrance as we hosted a heartfelt Thanksgiving Celebration in honour of our cherished bond with MillHill School, London. This special occasion marked the culmination of a ten-day exchange program, during which we welcomed six students and three staff members from MillHill into our community, forging lasting friendships and deepening educational ties.

The celebration was graced by eminent guests – Dr. Ramakrishnan, Chief of Aravind Eye Hospitals, Mrs. Saradha Ramakrishnan, and Dr. Meenakshi, Chief Medical Officer, Aravind Eye Hospitals, whose presence added significance to the event.

In a beautiful embrace of Indian tradition, the Millhillians attended the event in vibrant Indian attire, symbolizing their appreciation and respect for our culture.

A standout moment was the joint performance of a Tamil song by poet Bharati, sung harmoniously by the Millhillians and our choir—an inspiring reflection of cultural unity.

From the energetic Pinnal Kollattam to a spectacular portrayal of the Five Land Types of Ancient Tamil Nadu, each performance was a visual delight. Stunning backdrops, ornate costumes, and evocative choreography left the audience in awe, earning multiple standing ovations.

Adding to the energy of the day was a lively guest performance by the MillHill staff and students, which turned into a joyous celebration as the audience joined in to dance along.

Our Bond with Millhill School, London.

One of the most treasured traditions at Sri Jayendra Golden Jubilee School is our enriching partnership with Millhill School, London. Every June, we are delighted to host a group of their Lower Sixth Form students—equivalent to our XII Standard—who bring with them a vibrant blend of knowledge, culture, and creativity.

This year, on June 22 we welcomed a delegation of nine guests, including three dedicated teachers and six enthusiastic students. Their arrival was warmly celebrated with a soulful welcome song by our students during the morning assembly, setting the tone for ten days filled with dynamic learning and cultural exchange.

Throughout their stay, our campus buzzed with engaging sessions in conversational English, drama, music, and art. It was heartwarming to see both sets of students learning from one another—ours honing their English fluency and confidence, while our guests immersed themselves in Indian music and traditions.

A special highlight was the contribution of Ms. Claire, Head of the Geography Department at Millhill, who conducted highly interactive geography classes using modern technology. Our students even undertook a project on energy resources, which Millhill students will soon complete as part of a comparative study across continents.

Mr. Victor, the team leader, conducted insightful workshops for our teachers, focusing on smart and effective teaching methodologies. These sessions were deeply appreciated and will surely have a lasting impact on our teaching practices.

Beyond the classroom, our guests thoroughly enjoyed exploring the vibrant spirit of South India. From shopping local crafts to relishing traditional cuisine, and visiting picturesque spots like Kanyakumari, Thotti Palam, local waterfalls, and the serene Ambasamudiram river belt, they experienced the warmth and beauty of our homeland.

This exchange continues to be a beautiful blend of education and cultural appreciation, strengthening global friendships and inspiring young minds on both sides. We look forward to many more such joyful collaborations in the years to come!
