Save Soil! An Initiative by the youth!!!!

On the 12th of April, 2022 an awareness program of global concern ‘Soil Extinction’ was conducted by Mr. Vamsi, Mr. Bharghav and their team in the school auditorium as a part of the “Save Soil” movement. This included a video of Sadhguru, who briefly described the situation. He also mentioned that the problem is mainly due to the extinction of soil microbes (the helpers of the farmers). We must also remember that if plants suffer, we suffer next. Also, the food shortage might even result in civil wars all over the country. The fact that there is only 40-50 years of agricultural soil left on the planet , saddened all of us. The program recommends policy changes, educating the farmers about the excessive usage of pesticides and fertilizers to save soil. The gravity of situation made all the students put on their thinking caps and they used their voice to write a letter to the Prime Minister highlighting the same. The auditorium full of students gyrated to the “Soil Song” while some swayed rhythmically with placards in their hands! It was a wake up call for all of us to do something about saving the soil or else we are surely heading for a disaster.

LEADERSHIP TALK- An entrepreneurship Program

EDUCATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP can and should connect and HPSR strives at recognizing the entrepreneurial spirit of students to thrive through their natural talent.

He is the Managing Director Commercial, VIRCHOW BIOTECH, Hyderabad and served as a Member of the Advisory Board of Social Impact, Hyderabad.
Dr Nandigala started his address with a focus on ‘FAILURE’ to be deemed as a stepping stone to SUCCESS. A motivational video of Michael Jordon’s journey through his career opened the minds of the students attending the session ranging from class 8-11 to accept the fact that failure should be perceived as a learning lesson.
Dr Hemanth introduced the various phases of entrepreneurship as The Startup, Buildup and the Cruise phase. He highlighted the fact that the entrepreneur has to seek the help of talented and experienced people in the Buildup phase.
Dr Nandigala concluded his address aptly with the lines of Robert Frost’s – ‘The Road Not Taken ‘. Having taken risks himself, going out of typical norms and boundaries of Education, he provided students with authentic experiences urging them to take charge of their passion and learning.

HPSR YOUNGPRENEURS -2020-21
PRIZE DISTRIBUTION CEREMONY
8th OCTOBER 2021

HPSR Youngpreneurs 2020-21, one of the most exciting and coveted event, has been launched and conducted as part of the entrepreneurship program. Students of HPSR were mentored, guided and motivated by experienced entrepreneurs who were part of the Alumni of The Hyderabad Public School ,Ramanthapur.
As we all know, education is the driving force behind every country’s economy, directly or indirectly. The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur has adopted modern innovative methods and courses for education. In this regard, The HPSR, have started making students work in groups to solve problems, learn online and integrate science with arts. But it is noticed even then; students graduating lack the advanced skills and innovative thinking to work through the modern day challenges in the workplace. Thus, entrepreneurship, the capacity to not only start companies, but also to think creatively and ambitiously, is very important to be included in school curriculum.
Entrepreneurship education aids students from all socioeconomic backgrounds to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills. It creates opportunities, ensures social justice, instills confidence and stimulates the economy. Entrepreneurship education is a lifelong learning process, starting as early as elementary school and progressing through all levels of education, including adult education.
Introducing young kids to entrepreneurship develops their initiative and helps them to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake and to act in a socially responsible way.
In this context, Dr S Narasimha Reddy, Principal, The Hyderabad Public School Ramanthapur, under his visionary leadership introduced the subject entrepreneurship in the Class 11. The Alumni Association of The HPSR and The TIE Hyderabad has professionally given intensive coaching to the students. HPSR Youngpreneurs began on March 20th 2021 and culminated with a grand finale on May 2nd 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the prize distribution event was postponed and scheduled on 8th October 2021. Parents, teachers and the students gathered at the assembly hall with great excitement and enthusiasm on this day at 10 am.

We rejoice that there is an institution like the United Nations, for it is the symbol and hope of the new world of light dawning beyond the clouds

We owe it to ourselves to find out why the light does not spread and disperse the darkness……..S.RadhaKrishnan.

MUN is a great start to become a great leader and a change- maker. It is a platform to grow as a person of strong convictions, to master social and emotional intelligence, and to experience and apply learning to life.

Samuel Johnson said – Self Confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.’ MUN instills in our youngsters, some dynamic and some nervous delegates, the obligation to be passionate about world events and be convinced to speak and negotiate the truth with an undivided mind.

The fun and entertainment of public speaking exercise and the bonding with other members of Model United Nations is an experience that never goes away.

MODEL EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Harsha Manchella of grade XI participated in the Model European Parliament under the ‘Connected Europe programme’ , a part of the MOVE series supported by AFS Germany and the Mercator Foundation .

The event was held from the 13th of November to 29th of November 2020 . Harsha had the unparalleled opportunity of representing the Identity and Democracy party from the Austrian constituency.
The event exposed the structural and functional aspects of the European Union to Harsha, who was piqued by the sheer diplomatic environment around him, on top of being the only non-European attendee of the event. Harsha passionately raised questions and steered discussions on topics ranging from Climate Change to refugee policy. More importantly, Harsha recalls the event of being an insight into the differences between the Indian and European method of parliamentary functioning. The vision of AFS and its events is not merely cultural exchanges, but helping equip the students with the requisite exposure of the social, economic and political labyrinth surrounding them, which would eventually become their institutions to administer and govern.

AFS:Virtual Effect + Global Citizenship Education Workshop
Be the Change Maker

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. While human progress is inevitable, it is essential that our actions and methods touch each and every individual around us, ensuring that the collective contribution of society is not hindered. While each one of us had our own perception of this target, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) workshop, organised by the AFS was an astonishing and mind-altering event for the participating students which condensed the question of universal change into a more coherent solution, permeating one’s minds and getting synthesized with our own previous knowledge of the goal. The current pandemic exposed us to the immense need for global citizenship, and this workshop perfectly encapsulated the idea, helping link the road ahead of us in terms of bringing a change with the current problems plaguing our world now. Now, we understand that Change making is all about working for betterment and being able to influence others to do the same.

World Read Aloud Day

Ruskin Bond said,” Books are man’s best friends and are more than the king’s treasure”.
So, it is important to read books, breathe books and feel books.

Unfortunately, reading habit is dying down as the world has adopted technology at a fast pace. But nothing can beat the feel of a book in your hand while reading sitting on your settee. A ‘Kindle’ cannot substitute the book.

Armchair traveling can make one’s life very interesting. You go around the world without spending anything with an added advantage of gaining knowledge and wisdom.

Today to commemorate World Read Aloud Day, I urge the young and the old alike to Read, Read and Read.

DEAR – Drop, Everything and Read Aloud should be the motto.

Reading habit can make you a happier and a wholesome person.

‘Chai and Chat’: A Glimpse into the Future with AI

On the 31st of July 2023, the kindergarten stage was transformed into an intimate setting for ‘Chai and Chat’, an informal leadership talk aimed at the budding minds of classes 11 and 12.

Conducted between 3 to 4 pm, the event witnessed Mr. Chelle Haren, a proud alumnus of HPSR’s 2010 batch,  leading an enlightening discussion on the topic ‘Future with AI’. The atmosphere was electric, with students brimming with curiosity about the vast world of Artificial Intelligence.

Throughout the talk, the students exhibited a desire to understand the myriad uses and importance of AI in our ever-evolving technological landscape. Their questions reflected concerns of the modern age – how to stay safe in a digital realm dominated by AI, what are the dos and don’ts when interacting with such technology, and what our coexistence with AI might look like in the coming years.

Mr. Haren emphasized the dual role of AI in the future. On one hand, AI can effortlessly execute mundane tasks, speeding up processes. On the other hand, this automation underscores the dire need for the present generation to remain innovative. “The future with AI will be safe and prosperous only when people embrace their creativity and innovation,” he remarked.

The takeaway from this engaging session was clear: While AI will undeniably play a significant role in sculpting our future, human ingenuity and creativity remain irreplaceable.

In the shadow of the setting sun, as the stage was cleared and students dispersed, the echoes of a future harmoniously entwined with AI resonated, marking the success of yet another enriching ‘Chai and Chat’ session.

Yuva Yukta G 20 Summit: Young Minds, Global Solutions

On August 29th and 30th, The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur, was abuzz with the fervor of diplomacy, discussions, and dynamic solutions. The Yuva Yukta G 20 summit, an interschool competition that brought together nine schools, served as a breeding ground for fresh ideas, passionate debates, and budding diplomats.

Mirroring the format of the real G20 summits, each participating school nominated ‘sherpas’ – representatives responsible for guiding discussions on the school’s behalf. These sherpas delved deep into the pressing issues of our times. The dialogues they fostered were a testament to their preparation, insight, and commitment.

A standout feature of the summit was the draft resolutions presented by the students. Moving beyond mere theoretical discussions, the students took a deep dive, proposing practical solutions to global problems.

The summit was more than just a competition; it was an experiential learning platform. Students grappled with real-world problems, understood the complexities of international diplomacy, and learned the art of negotiation and compromise.

As the curtains came down on the Yuva Yukta G 20 summit, there was a palpable sense of achievement, pride, and optimism. It was evident that such events play a crucial role in shaping the worldview of students and empowering them to be the change-makers of tomorrow.

The Hyderabad Public School , Ramanthapur celebrates the birth anniversary of Vikram Sarabhai

On the occasion of the 104th birth anniversary of Prof. Vikram Sarabhai, the visionary behind the Indian space program, ISRO organized a special outreach program at The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur. The event aimed at inspiring the young minds of today with the wonders of space science and the achievements of ISRO.

The session was led by Mr. Srinivas Rao, who captivated the students’ attention with a detailed chronicle of ISRO’s journey, starting with its humble beginnings at Thumba in 1963, where India’s first rocket was launched. Through multimedia presentations and engaging narratives, he provided insights into the intricate processes behind the recently launched Chandrayaan-III mission.

The students were also treated to a unique Water Rocket Launch demonstration by the team from the National Remote Sensing Centre. The awe-inspiring demonstration offered them a hands-on perspective into rocketry principles.

A significant highlight of the event was the “Space On Wheels” bus, an innovative initiative designed to give students a real-life experience of how satellites function and play a pivotal role in modern communication. This interactive session equipped the students with a better understanding of the practical applications of satellite technology.

An interactive Q&A session was held, wherein the students posed their queries, and Mr. Rao challenged their attention to detail and thinking prowess with intriguing space-related questions.

Concluding the session,  the students  were left with a poignant thought: “The sky is NOT the limit; space is the limit, which is limitless.” It served as a reminder that human potential is boundless, and the quest for knowledge should never cease.

The event served as a fitting tribute to Prof. Vikram Sarabhai, fostering a spirit of curiosity and encouraging the next generation of scientists, engineers, and space enthusiasts.
