KAS celebrates ‘Culture’ KAS celebrated culture in a three day event organized here at school. ‘The Culture Fest’ was a great way for us to know about the cultures here at KAS. The culture fest was held from January 18th to 20th. Various activities were held everyday. On the 18th, we had activities like mehendi, rangoli, and face painting organized. Although mehendi and rangoli are a part of the Indian culture, it was a great medium for the blending of cultures.

involved in the Lippan art which hails from the land of Kutch. On the last day of the festival students couldn’t curtail their excitement, as they dressed in their traditional outfits for the entire school day.

On the other hand face painting was a fun way for students to express the meaning of culture. On the 19th, we had a Dance and Art workshop. Students learned about the Assamese Bamboo Dance which is common to both Indian and Thai cultures. In the Art workshop students learned the techniques

Back to School At the beginning of January, the winter break ended and students started returning to school after a long vacation, bringing back laughter and joy to the school campus. Teachers started new units while students told tales of their break. It surely feels good to be back. ~ Rithchate Sirimangklanurak

The day ended with the Talent show. A lovely way to end the festival. Students participated with enthusiasm. This was an experience for students to know each other.

plays etc. Few of the students also tried being radio jockeys by auditioning at the Fever 104 FM Radio Booth. Indulgence ands on experience has changed the perspective of art amongst the students.

Art Festival has inspired the students to step outside and express themselves through art and its various forms. ~ Kapil Joshi

Kas’ians get a Mascott

The Red Panda

Students at school have finally got a school mascot. They had the opportunity of picking a mascot for themselves. There were various contenders such as the turtle, the peacock, the tiger etc but the final winner was the ‘Red Panda’. Students were thrilled as most of them had voted for it. Mr. Scavo our visual art teacher is working on the design. For those of you who don’t now about the ‘Red Panda’, well it is an

animal found in the Himalayas. It lives in the high altitude forests and is basically a herbivorous.

Weekends at KAS Filled with creative activities, sporting events, outside excursions and much more, weekends at KAS are never a downer. Making our way to the cafeteria for a late breakfast, is a perfect time to mingle and catch up with everyone. Some days it's trekking in and around Khandala and watching the beautiful scenery; on other days it's art and craft or fun filled games on the soccer field, and of course a little relaxation never hurt anybody. Weekends at KAS are definitely a blast! ~ Musau Lwakila

On the 29th of January, a small group of fellow KAS’ians gathered bright and early and headed to Pune, to represent our school by participating in the International Pune Marathon! It was great to share our love for the run along with so many other people. It was a day filled with excitement, pride and of course a lot of sweat. A special thanks to our Coach for training us every day and pushing us to do our best, and to all the teachers who came along. KAS certainly can't wait to participate in the next one! ~ Musau Lwakila

D.E.A.R time at school

D.E.A.R

Service ‘Yellow isn't a colour,

at KAS it symbolizes Service. During the MYP programme, the students continue to progress in their academics as well as in community service. Through our service programs we help the community in school and also the society outside school.

D.E.A.R., also known as "Drop Everything And Read," is the time allocated for all the students and staff at KAS to read. During this time, no work is supposed to be done except reading. D.E.A.R. happens every Wednesday from 8.05am until 8.15am.

This month we went to Rajmachi Garden to clean the surrounding areas. We have also started individual service, through which we continue our service around the campus, helping our Kas’ian community. A week ago, few students from our school, went to ‘Balgram School’, in Lonavala. The students at KAS will be going there over the next few weeks and organizing various fun activities for them.

Personal Project: In this world there is no project that can be as fulfilling than the project that is close to your heart and the one that can have a positive impact on you and the world around you. Students at the Kohinoor American School, got an opportunity to do a 'personal project’. The students worked on this project over an eight month period as a part of their International Baccalaureate

program. The fifteen MYP5 students picked a range of topics from language and literature to programming. The personal project coordinator Mr. Paul and other teachers, supported the students to accomplish their goals. When the students were interviewed about what they thought about the personal project, most of them said that they got to explore different aspects of their topics and step outside their comfort zone.

One of the students; Musau Lawakila said, "The personal project was a great experience as well as an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, be creative and create something new!" This shows us that the students felt connected to their project as they got to know their strengths and weaknesses. ~ Sakshi Chordiya
