Business Today's Treasure Hunt stops at Inventure Academy

               

Inventure Academy's Graduating Batch of 2010-11

Many a young mind seeks to pursue its very own dream,

Many a fervent heart yearns to find its unique stream,

To each is the thought of freedom an intoxicating and alluring promise,

Yet the memories of days gone by are not of bondage, but a period that they will sorely miss!

We are on the threshold of igniting a tradition at Inventure Academy, as we prepare to hand over our first batch of Grade 12’s to the world and its many opportunities. The fledglings have grown and are now in readiness to continue their journey through life with newly bestowed independence and hopefully, a heightened sense of responsibility.

We are also felicitating the passage of the Grade 10 batch to their last phase of schooling – and through this, we recognize that they too are grown and worthy of consideration as young adults. In a way, it is a feeling of great pride that we experience today as we witness the coming of age of the saplings that were planted, nurtured and cared for over the past few years.

To the Graduates, I have this to say…

For those of you who will travel far and wide and enter different environments and climates, the questions that are raised about leading the right life and a successful life will remain uppermost. I trust there are creative ways of living in the world, of finding a means of livelihood that nourishes and does not destroy and that makes possible for young people to find their calling with a sense of integrity. Eighteen-year olds the world over are faced with tremendous expectations, from family as well as society. To be able to stand on your own, find yourself before you look for support from without; make it a point to be in company that glorifies your strengths and helps erode your shortcomings; decide upon a value system that defines you and will stand you in good stead no matter what the external influences. Let your identity be evident in your words, your actions and in your interactions with people. At every step, let peace be your umpire.

To excel is to be the best in every way. Ambition to excel is a crucial feature of a leader – and the future belongs to the leader who is willing to take risks and break boundaries.

However, in a competitive world, it is easy to let our focus remain purely on achievement and on moving up the ladder of material success. As Inventurers, your challenge lies in ensuring that you embody the values of excellence, integrity, sensitivity, dynamism, individuality and teamwork while in pursuit of your goals, for these qualities will separate you from the chaff, will make you an asset to any institution, and will take you beyond your dreams.

What lies ahead is bound only by one’s aspirations and by the design of a greater plan in which each of us has a specific role to play. As you bid goodbye to the security of these portals and welcome tomorrow with open arms, it is my sincere wish that each one of your dreams finds fruition. In your success lies ours, in your commitment to excellence lies the key to a life filled with promise, opportunity and growth.

Live life to the fullest, make it happen – Carpe Diem!

Inventure Academy celebrates Ancient Civilisations

Can you name the civilization that used silk as its currency? Were you aware that the Chinese civilization was the first to use paper money? Would you believe that Egyptians used two sticks joined together as a compass to get geographic directions?

Inventure Academy on Saturday celebrated “Ancient Civilizations week” by showcasing the students’ extensive learning on the evolution and history of mankind.

The event which had participation of all students from grade 1 to 5, hence named ‘vertical project’ chose Early Man, Stone Age, Harappa, Mesopotamian, Indus Valley, Ancient China and Egyptian civilizations to showcase.

It involved a month of extensive research, brainstorming for the best of ideas and exploring interesting ways to present it.

“The learning opportunities were many as we learnt everything about the civilization our class was to present, from culture, geography, social practices, inventions to the contribution of each civilizations to mankind,” says Karan Buntval, a grade 5 student, whose class worked on Egyptian civilization.

“Reliving history is impossible but students experienced it through this project by exploring and researching extensively about the theme,” says Sambit Basu, a parent of Grade 1.

“Even the get up of the classrooms, their costumes, and the food they served was woven in the theme for them to roll back time, and my child enjoyed it. The icing on the cake was the cultural program which gave an overview of history of mankind in a very entertaining way,” he adds.

“The learning at Inventure Academy is open ended and dynamic both for the teacher and the taught and the presentations on Ancient Civilizations was just an example,” says Principal of Inventure Academy, Mallika Sen.

Inventure Academy raises Rs 80,000 for Camlin School boy

Inventure Academy students were touched by a recent report in a newspaper daily on Aditya, a grade 10 student of Camlin School suffering from Guillain Barre Syndrome, a rare form of progressive muscle dystrophy.

What was even more unique was the attitude of his friends, who were knocking each door possible to raise funds to save the life of Aditya over their board exams.

“We too wanted to do be of some help to Aditya hence started a fund raising campaign in school under the guidance of our teacher Anuradha mam,” says Anika Desai, Grade 5 student.

For the campaign to be successful, our class put posters on the notice board spreading awareness about Aditya and disease he was suffering from. “We also went to each classroom reminding the students to contribute towards the cause,” says Karan Buntval, also a grade 5 student.

The school successfully raised Rs 83,000 in around a week! The fund raised was handed over to the parents, which eventually went for his treatment.
