The Robotics program has been an integral part of the standard curriculum for Cambridge students from Grade 1 to Grade 8.

A primary advantage of embracing robotics education lies in its capacity to ignite curiosity and interest among students. Robotics offers a tangible and interactive learning milieu, affording students a direct exposure to the practical application of STEM principles. Through the act of constructing and programming robots, students attain a profound comprehension of diverse disciplines while cultivating an ardor for knowledge.

Furthermore, robotics education cultivates critical skills highly coveted in the contemporary world. Pupils develop adeptness in critical thinking as they scrutinize problems, dissecting them into more manageable components, and conceiving efficacious resolutions. They acquire the art of troubleshooting and debugging, refining their acumen in problem-solving and fostering resilience in the face of adversities.

Ingrained in robotics education is also the ethos of teamwork and collaboration. Many robotics endeavors necessitate collaborative efforts, thereby fostering proficient communication, cooperation, and the aptitude to allocate tasks effectively amongst team members. These competencies bear paramount significance in the professional realm, where collaborative ventures and interdisciplinary problem-solving find increasing appreciation.

These are Science and Mathematics kits which are given to the students of Grades 1 to 5, to have hands-on experience with experiments and Practical study of scientific and mathematical concepts. Students thoroughly enjoy doing experiments with these kits.

THE MAGIC OF GOOD MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE:

Choosing the right fork may seem trivial, but etiquette is the art of gracious living, encompassing ethics and honor.

In the pursuit of nurturing essential values in young minds, KENNEDY HIGH the global school offers etiquette classes for grade 1 and 2 learners. 

These classes play a pivotal role in cultivating social skills among our students, inspiring them to excel in social interactions such as greeting each other, dining out and appropriate ways to communicate and behave in a social situation. Etiquette classes aid in fostering a positive attitude, healthy self-esteem, confidence, good communication skills, strong friendships, understanding and appreciating cultural diversity, while inculcating respect for others.

KENNEDY HIGH the global school organized healthy growing up and menstrual hygiene and awareness session in the school for the girl students of grade 6, 7 and 8 from Cambridge and for girl students of class VI, VII and VIII from CBSE, using videos, PowerPoint presentation, case studies and subsequent discussions. These sessions were conducted by the school Counsellor in the first week of July as part of health and well-being.

The objective was to educate girls about menstrual hygiene practices and promote a healthy approach to growing up while enhancing life skills, self-awareness, empathy, problem- solving and effective communication. Students watched the video “hello periods” and reflected on the healthy practices during menstruation and adolescence, understanding menstruation, managing menstrual pain and the importance of regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep during menstruation.

Additionally, proper disposal of menstrual products like sanitary pads in an environment friendly manner, and the importance of maintaining personal hygiene during menstrual periods, was discussed. Students were guided to approach trusted adults, teachers and the in- house nurse and counselor for emergencies.

These sessions provided valuable information to empower girls in managing their menstrual health with confidence and understanding. Students were guided to be culturally sensitive while identifying myths and misconceptions with an open mind to reduce the stigma attached with menstruation and to live a happy and healthy life.

Effective communication is vital in all aspects of life. The ability to communicate effectively and fluently increases a child’s self-esteem and confidence. At KENNEDY HIGH the global school, we have understood the need of the hour and have incorporated comprehensive English Communication and Language Proficiency Labs to cater to this need. The communication lab at KENNEDY HIGH the global school is a state-of-the art facility with a digital classroom and provides the right ambience for the ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking that is crucial for any communication training program. Soft skills, body language, voice intonation, modulation, gestures, and tips for effective public speaking are part of this interactive English Proficiency Program. The classes, held on a weekly basis, provide every opportunity for the students to explore their limits of imagination, creativity, vocabulary, and hone their communication skills. The goal is to make them think in English language, remove the mother-tongue influence and give them the ability to present themselves effectively with the style, sharpness, clarity, and ease that comes naturally to a native English Speaker.

Soft skills, multiple intelligences, and emotional intelligences are some of the core concepts that make the framework of the activities conducted in the Personality Development Lab. Students are exposed to various facts of their personality. Through interactive modules, they get an opportunity to collaborate, think independently, learn to follow social etiquette, and emerge as responsible and articulate student leaders.
