Community Engagement
Small acts. Big change.
Our Community engagement activity gives students an opportunity to explore academic interests through a real world lens. If a child is intrigued when he or she learns about recycling in school, for example, they can pick up recyclables from local businesses and take them to a local recycling center to see the impact firsthand.

With the theme "Awaken New Depths" for 2024, students, teachers, and parents came together in a harmonious blend of creativity and community spirit.As the first light of dawn graced the horizon, the beach buzzed with excitement and anticipation. Families gathered, equipped with tools and vibrant imaginations, ready to transform the sands into meaningful works of art.
The event began with a brief introduction about the significance of World Ocean Day and the chosen theme. The emphasis on "Awaken New Depths" resonated deeply, encouraging participants to think beyond the surface and explore the profound beauty and mysteries of our oceans.
Teachers and parents worked alongside the students, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration. It was heartwarming to see families bonding over shared goals, learning together, and expressing their collective passion for ocean preservation.

Small Actions, Big Impact
Earth Day, which is observed on April 22nd every year, has a new and colourful theme this year: "Canvas for Change." The purpose of this theme was to draw attention to the effectiveness of teamwork and innovation in solving environmental problems.
This year's World Earth Day event was a huge success since parents and students enthusiastically participated in a community engagement initiative. People of all ages came together for this event, which aimed to inspire action via art and increase awareness of environmental challenges.
The vivid and varied paintings displayed a variety of artistic techniques as well as environmental stewardship ideas. This group artwork served as a metaphor for the cooperation and teamwork required to safeguard the environment. It acted as a symbol of the neighbourhood's dedication to environmental preservation. The finished piece of art was displayed at the entrance of the school as the celebration came to an end. As a token of appreciation for participation, parents were given saplings and frames as gifts. With a revitalized feeling of purpose and dedication to safeguarding the environment for coming generations, the event came to an end.
Visit to Karunyam Home
As we stepped into the premises of Karunyam Home, we were instantly greeted by a wave of colours and vibrancy that could warm anyone's heart. The home, situated on the outskirts of the city, is a testament to the power of love and compassion, and a living example of the incredible impact dedicated individuals can have on the lives of children.
We were take on a tour of the Home to witness the range of rooms dedicated to various artistic pursuits. There's a baking room where the children learn to whip up delicious treats, a music room where they explore the world of melodies and rhythms, a tailoring room where they hone their sewing skills, an art room for painting and crafts, and a well-stocked library. These spaces empower the children to explore their passions and develop valuable skills that will serve them well in the future.
The visit reached its emotional peak when the children of Karunyam Home sang a beautiful, heartfelt song. It was a poignant reminder of the therapeutic and unifying power of music.
A haven where creativity blossoms and children rise.
In conclusion, our visit to the Home left an indelible mark on our hearts. The home's commitment to creating a loving, nurturing, and inspiring environment for children is nothing short of incredible. It serves as a shining example of the positive impact one can make through dedication and passion.
A Place Where Love Learns.

Green Chase Cycle rally
The MIS community kick-started the school year with a powerful pledge—to give back to the world with the same mindfulness and responsibility as we receive from it. To bring this promise to life, students, parents, and staff joined hands for a community awareness cycle rally.​
From tiny 6-year-olds to energetic teens, from enthusiastic parents to dedicated staff, the Milton family rode together for five meaningful kilometers—from Chenganmal Bus Stop to SSN College and back. Their collective mission? To inspire the community, lead by example, and reaffirm their commitment to protecting our planet.​
This Green Chase Rally became more than just a ride—it became a reminder that sustainable living begins with simple actions, and every turn of the wheel can nudge the world toward a greener tomorrow.
Turning Miles Into Meaning.
Green Chase community awareness cycle rally 2023-24 aimed to bring to light how, by embracing sustainable practices, the reduction of humans’ progressively excessive dependence on fossil fuels can help lower our carbon footprint is possible.
Pedal for a Purpose.
We’ve found that when students connect what they’re learning in school to issues that actually matters in real life, they throw themselves into learning. Research also back this up. Studies show that students who give back to the community perform better in school, particularly in subjects such as math, reading, and history. Furthermore, students who participate in community service are also more likely to graduate from high school. Students learn that the work they do can make a real impact in the world. ​
​
By getting involved in community service at a young age, student benefits in a lot of ways like:​
-
Develops an increased sense of social responsibility – a global view of society and a heart for ‘giving back’ and helping others
-
Provides an opportunity to apply academic learning to real-life events.
-
Builds relationships and ‘social connectedness’ and exposes students to diversity and multiculturalism.
-
Improves lifelong communication, interpersonal, and critical thinking skills.
-
Helps students find their passions and interests
