This week GIS Computer Department has initiated ‘The Hour of Code’ programme as a school event to promote love for computer science, and develop computational thinking in students of GIS. Learning to code and programming help to realize the fundamental skills for problem solving in students of all ages. It also teaches them how to think differently about any problem. All the students of grades four and above are participating in a one-hour of coding during the week and upon completing the task, they are awarded with a certificate which will be given at special assembly the following week.

The year's first meeting for the parents was held on Sunday, 15th January 2017. Parents were assembled in the school hall first where the Senior Management (SMT) team was introduced to them along with class teachers  and teachers who teach different subjects. Parents were also briefed about the school data base 'Shriconnect' and 'Parent Web Portal' by the IT Coordinator Mr. Muaz. At this gathering, the school Principal addressed the parents and highlighted on areas such as school cafeteria, activity uniform, parent ID cards, use of parent portal, parking in front of the school, new initiatives and school PTA for 2017.  

After the gathering, all parents met the class teachers in their respective classes where again they were briefed on specific activities regarding academics and co-curricular activities. Before the general meeting ended, class representatives were also selected for the school PTA 2017.
