A Week of Learning, Awareness & Inspiration!
Another exciting week at The Fabindia School comes to a close!
The week of 20th to 25th July was filled with learning, reflection, awareness, and inspiration. While our students geared up for their Unit Test 1 examinations through focused revision and preparation, they also had the opportunity to participate in enriching experiences beyond the classroom.
From an important awareness session on drug abuse and substance addiction to an inspiring Mathematics Workshop, our students explored valuable lessons that will stay with them well beyond their textbooks. It was truly a week that reminded us that education is not just about learning facts—it is about becoming aware, thinking deeply, and growing as individuals.
Ashoka University Seminar Report
A career guidance seminar was organized in our school for the students of Classes XI and XII by the representatives of Ashoka University. The main purpose of the seminar was to give students information about the university, the courses it offers, the admission process, scholarships, and campus life.
The speakers explained the different subjects and academic opportunities available at the university simply and interestingly. They also shared that Ashoka University offers more than 300 courses across different fields, giving students the freedom to explore their interests. The admission process, eligibility criteria, and scholarship opportunities were explained clearly, making it easier for everyone to understand.
The most engaging part of the seminar was the question-and-answer session. Students asked several questions, and each question was answered patiently and in detail. This helped clear many doubts and gave students a better understanding of the university.
Overall, the seminar was very informative and beneficial for all the students. It provided useful guidance about higher education and encouraged students to explore different academic opportunities for their future.
Pre-Primary Report
This Saturday was a fruitful and meaningful day for our little youngsters as we planned a special theme on "Care of Belongings." After conducting the classroom activities and the morning assembly, we realized that it was one of the most essential themes for our toddlers.
Through various engaging activities, the children learned how to recognise their belongings and understood why it is important to take care of them. They were introduced to everyday items such as their pencils, erasers, water bottles, and tiffin boxes, while also learning to value and care for their most precious treasures—their family and friends.
The teachers guided the children to identify, respect, and take responsibility for both their belongings and their relationships, helping them develop a sense of care, responsibility, gratitude, and kindness from an early age.
Preparing for Unit Test 1
As the Unit Test 1 examinations began on 25th July, the week was dedicated to revision and academic preparation across the school.
Students revisited important concepts, practised key topics, clarified their doubts, and worked towards strengthening their understanding of the subjects covered during the term. Teachers supported students through focused revision sessions and guided them in identifying areas that needed additional attention.
The revision week encouraged students to approach their examinations with confidence, discipline, and a positive mindset.
We wish all our students the very best for their examinations!
Believe in yourself. Prepare well. Give your best!
Transformative Tuesdays: Say No to Drugs
On Tuesday, 21st July, our students from Grades 8 to 12 had the privilege of attending an insightful awareness session conducted by Hon'ble Additional District Judge Mr. Satyendra Prakash Chotiyaa.
The session was organised under "Transformative Tuesdays," a literacy initiative of the Government of Rajasthan, and focused on the highly important topics of Drug Awareness and Substance Abuse.
Mr. Chotiyaa sensitised students about the harmful effects of drugs and substance abuse and highlighted how such habits can adversely affect an individual's health, education, relationships, family, and future.
The session encouraged our young learners to make responsible choices, understand the consequences of harmful habits, and develop the confidence to stay away from negative influences.
The interaction was not merely about awareness—it was about empowering young minds to make informed decisions and become responsible citizens.
The message was clear: Your future is precious. Protect it.
We sincerely appreciate this meaningful initiative that helps our students become more aware, responsible, and prepared to face the challenges of life.
Mathematics Comes Alive!
Our students of Classes 9 to 12 had an incredible opportunity to participate in a stimulating two-day Mathematics Workshop conducted by Dr. Saugata Ghosh.
Dr. Ghosh is a physicist by training and mathematician by practice. He currently spearheads the Mathematics section of the Creative School of Maths and Music, an organisation conceived in 2009 with the vision of nurturing and inspiring young mathematicians..
But what made the workshop truly special?
Dr. Ghosh did much more than talk about Mathematics. He inspired students to think differently, question deeply, remain curious, and approach problems with confidence.
Through engaging interactions and his own personal experiences, he motivated students to understand the true value of education and encouraged them to believe in their abilities.
His journey and experiences served as a powerful reminder that success is built through curiosity, perseverance, learning, and the courage to keep exploring.
The workshop left our students inspired and motivated to look at Mathematics from a fresh perspective.
It reminded us that Mathematics is not simply a subject of numbers and formulas—it is a language of logic, creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Saugata Ghosh for inspiring our students and making their learning journey more meaningful!
Interview with Saugata Ghosh Maths professor
(Reporter as RP, SGH as Saugata Ghosh)
RP- What are your qualifications?
SGH- I completed my B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. After my Ph.D., I worked as a Post-Doctoral Researcher (PRL), Ahmedabad. I have also been associated with BITS Pilani, Université Paris-Saclay (France), and ICTP, Italy, for research and academic work. In addition, I have authored a book and have been associated with CSMM. Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in teaching and research in mathematics.
RP- Could you tell us about your journey into the field of Mathematics?
SGH- I believe that almost everything in this world can be explained through mathematics and equations. This idea fascinated me from a young age and inspired me to study mathematics deeply. It was my curiosity and interest, not just marks, that motivated me to choose this field.
RP- What were some of the biggest challenges you faced during your academic journey, and how did you overcome them?
SGH- Since I studied abroad, I faced many challenges. Some people judged me because I was Indian and even made comments about my skin colour. Instead of letting these experiences discourage me, I worked hard, stayed confident, and proved myself through my dedication and academic performance.
RP- What inspired you to choose Mathematics as your career?
SGH- Life brings both acceptance and rejection. I faced many rejections, but I never gave up. I continued learning and improving myself. My passion for mathematics kept me motivated, and that inspired me to make it my career.
RP- Why do you think fewer students are choosing Mathematics today, and what can we do to make it more interesting?
SGH- It all depends on our interest and mindset. Mathematics is not difficult if we approach it positively. For example, playing video games can either waste time or become a learning opportunity if someone studies game development and creates games. Similarly, mathematics becomes interesting when we understand its practical uses and develop curiosity.
RP- What has been the most memorable moment of your teaching career?
SGH- One of my most memorable experiences was being one of the youngest professors in my college. I always try to teach with respect and make learning enjoyable. At the end of every class, I challenge students to ask me any question. If I cannot answer it, I promise to bring a gift for that student. This keeps students curious, engaged, and excited to learn.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
This week at The Fabindia School beautifully demonstrated that learning takes many forms.
📚 Revision taught us the value of preparation.
⚖️ Drug awareness taught us the importance of responsible choices.
➗ Mathematics taught us to think, question, and explore.
🌱 Inspiration reminded us to believe in ourselves.
As we move forward, we continue to create opportunities for our students to **learn, think, question, discover, and grow**—preparing them not only for examinations but also for the bigger journey of life. 🌍✨
Rainy season
Rainy season is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. It comes after the hot summer and brings cool and pleasant weather; dark clouds fill the sky, and rain falls on the fields, trees, and roads. The whole environment becomes fresh, green, and full of life. Farmers get happy because rain helps their crops to grow well. The rainy season is very important as it provides water for drinking, farming, and other daily needs. Children enjoy playing in the rain with umbrellas and raincoats; people also like to eat hot snacks and watch the rainfall. However, we should be careful not to get wet for too long and always keep our surroundings clean. The rainy season is truly a wonderful gift to nature.
