High School Muse-ical with 200 students!

A high school musical with two hundred adolescents??? What were we getting ourselves into!!?? Well for starters dollops of enthusiasm, heaps of energy and an outpouring of ideas (much contrary to what we expected)! Through this process we have encouraged the children to experiment, encouraged them to enjoy and tonight, we encourage them to excel!

If this production started out as a blank canvas, the painting you will see on stage today has been plotted, painted and perfected by each child bringing their own special colour to it. And to make sure not a single stroke was out of place, they have been ably and patiently guided by their extremely talented teachers. But what's an artist without a patron? The management of the school has painstakingly provided time, space and the required resources to ensure that this painting will have a special place on the wall and we hope in your hearts!

This journey, has been a truly Magically one!

Inventure Academy presents Muse-ical Magic

My sisters and I

Dear passer by, please wait,
Listen to our story, before it is too late,
Me and my sisters, you call us lakes,
Witnesses to progress in human fate,

Our connections severed by mounts of concrete.
Poisoned by wastes of human existence,
are silently dying.
Our friends, the birds, fishes and insects
Centuries of close bonding
dying with us.
A mass mourning?

Small groups work tirelessly
fearing for us.
A peep into their field books
Documenting our doom?

Dear city dweller,
Can you reverse this sorrowful tale?
then…..
you have to claim us as your own,
keep us in your thoughts,
your stories to your children,
your future missions and songs of change,
and…
Give our city a happy ending.

Inventure Academy makes Best Film at BICFF

Inventure Academy won the award for the ‘Best Film’ under the Children’s produced film category of Bangalore International Children’s Film Festival (BICFF) 2010 on Thursday.

The competition titled `Make a film in 48 hours’ was organized by Ryan International School, Kundalahali and was open for around 20 schools in the city. The topic for the film revolved around Action for Green- with an aim of younger generation understanding the emission of green house gases, the main cause for global warming and there were 17 films which competed for the award.

Parthiv Shah and Akshay Bhamidipati who represented Inventure Academy, made a short documentary on `Life with Oxygen Masks’. `` There were four topics to choose from and we chose this as it seemed most challenging to us,” says Parthiv, a student of Grade 8 of Inventure Academy, who is all smiles after hearing the news.

The film is around 5 minute long and begins with showing life in 2020 where kids are leading a life with oxygen masks. In the flashback, we are shown the damage that vehicular pollution and industrial waste has already done to our environment.

``Message of our movie was to stop wasting more time in bringing about the `Change’ we so often talk about, and instead mobilize each other to working towards green world. Or else we have to be ready for our future generations to survive only with help of oxygen masks,’’ states Akshay, also a student of Grade 8 at Inventure Academy.

Inventure Academy, Head of School, Nooraine Fazal, says, ``I am delighted that the Inventurers took the opportunity provided by the Bangalore International Children Film Festival to develop and showcase their learning as movie makers and environmentalists.’’

``The win, is of course icing on the cake! Where our students had no specific preparation for the event, Inventure Academy in partnership with our parent body provides a very nurturing environment for students to identify, and develop their talents, and pursue excellence in their chosen fields,’’ she adds.

Inventure Academy Annual Awards Day

Success is not coming first in the race but giving your best no matter what place. The true spirit behind these lines authored by our student was celebrated on, the 5th Annual Awards day of Inventure Academy held on March 28.

It was also a day for students to showcase their multi-talents on stage be it dance, play, or music in front of the cheering audience comprising of parents, teachers and peers.

Our guests of honor on the occasion were Associate Director of Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) Professor N Balakrishnan and CMD of Prestige group, Irfan Razack, who inspired children with their speech on need for holistic knowledge to be a future ready.

The event started at around 4pm with Professor Balakrishnan, Mr Razack along with CEO and Head of Inventure Academy, Nooraine Fazal lighting the candle of knowledge. Professor Balakrishnan inspired the students, parents and teachers alike by his speech on significance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) where there would be growing need for people with holistic knowledge more than specialists in a field or two. Recalling his young days, Professor Balakrishnan, said, “While 30 years ago, when I joined IISc, a computer had a main memory of just 32 kb, today even a pen drive can carry 320 gigabytes!.”

One of the founders of the world’s largest digital library, Professor Balakrishnan, emphasized the need for integrated education, where there are no borders in acquiring knowledge from subjects of science, engineering, social science or arts. He congratulated Inventure Academy for having nurtured inventive thinking in five years of its formation and also the parents for having chosen this school.

Irfan Razack, also the Chairman and co-founder of Inventure Academy, underlined the changing face of Indian education and the need for freedom of space for young minds to think, grow and excel as individuals and as human beings.

Nooraine Fazal, proudly presented the `harvests’ of the academic year 2009-10 and the audience cheered as much to Inventure excelling in academics, with 100 percent of IGCSE students scoring distinction or merit and Titan Genius kids APJ Abdul Kalam Awards National Awards for Maths, as they did for the school being overall champions of Multiple Intelligence Xplored, an inter-school competition, for the third consecutive year.

Later the students who displayed winning attitudes in varied fields of academics, sports, culture were felicitated by an Inventure Academy cap and badges on their the guests followed by a colorful cultural evening.
