Students of DP (Grade 11 and 12) organised the entire show. The band enthralled the audience with its performance on July 12. Grade 9 and 10 had prepared short choreographed dance sequences to conclude the event and it was very well received by the spectators. Anjou maam’s zestful speech to commemorate ten years of the school and the success of the show was very touching. The spectators interviewed unanimously agreed that the band was good and that educational projects that promote joyful learning should be continued. At the end of the show, Sarvodaya International Trust, Gujarat Chapter sold books on Gandhi and Healing with Moltani Matti to raise funds for charity.
Well done students!

RTI article on MGIS

Students of MGIS were the first students who learned to use the Right to Information Act. Several forums and discussions with government officials, journalists, media persons and personalities later, they were ready to fight for issues they believed in. Many of them took a stand for their teachers with the RTI Act (click to read the article link above) and later used RTI to help others in their immediate surroundings.

On Wednesday, the students celebrated Holi with organic colours and water. Students got wet and
pulled their teachers into getting wet and coloured, later they danced to peppy numbers.

In a heartwarming ceremony, MYP 5 results were announced.

Sharmeen Attarwala got 58 (maximum being 63). This is the fourth batch that is graduating from our school and its wonderful to see them blossom the way they have. They have imbibed true values that MGIS stands for.

Its become a custom for the students graduating from MYP to create a short movie about their journey through MGIS representing in their own way, their tribulations, their victories, their moments of joy… Several people were moved to tears watching the movie including Anjou! After the certificate distribution, Mrs. Anita Karwal gave such an honest speech that it was awe inspiring. She said that the school had changed her children’s lives and had returned their childhood back. This in turn had contributed in making her family a happy family. Her words set the mood for celebration and immediately after, the premier of the movie ‘Jab We Won’ made by students of MYP 4 and 5 with leading film maker Mr. Bernard Marescot was screened to a standing ovation by the students who worked hard for it during three months, the teachers present and parents alike. Well done MYP 5, Good Show!
