Anglophiles O Level English 2014 Class - March Activities

This is to welcome you all who had joined this class this February, 2014. This is really a very happy occasion for all of us that in the last 3 weeks we had gone through some truly "other-than-ordinary" sessions. I will briefly recount some of the things so that we are able to recollect these later.
  1. First, we had this session on 8th March, 2014 where 2 Professors from an American College attended a meeting session with our seniors. In that meeting, which lasted for about 2 and a half hours - we had a good exposure about what the students are doing. Yes the young students sat outside - with some difficulty of course - sunlight and a little heat. We were able to get through the who time in a moderately tolerable way. Those who attended the day - Thank You Everyone. 
  2. Next Friday, on 14th March, two of our senior students came and gave a talk on general items that ranged from how to deal with school and academic pressures to how to handle your personal issues. It was a closed-door meeting between the seniors and juniors and I had later received some very encouraging mails about the POSITIVE impact of such meetings. 
  3. The next Friday, 21st March, two other seniors shared their own experiences about how to improve a student's extra-curricular activities. It was something very NEW to most of our students. We mostly talked about how to get involved with various organizations and take part in OLYMPIADS. Although the whole concepts were new to the young members of our class - I expect that you make your own plan for such Future Engagements through your participation in Olympiads, Science Fairs, Environmental Challenges etc.
