Gift Wrapping Compeitition (14/12/12)

The festive season always reminds us of gifts and wrapping them ourselves gives them a special touch. On 14/12/12 gift wrapping competition was conducted at Orchids-The International School, Hyderabad for classes I to V. Students showed enthusiasm and participated actively in wrapping up gifts using colourful wrappers and ribbons. They did not stick to the conventional way of wrapping a gift, instead creatively wrapped the gift in various shapes.

They fare well in GESE

The students of Orchids have been appearing for GESE – Graded Examinations in Spoken English conducted by Trinity College, London, in association with Orient Blackswan, India, for many years. It has become a matter of routine for the students of Orchids to expect GESE in the month of Nov/Dec, to have one-to-one conversation with the native, English-speaking examiner, to experience success and gain confidence.

The examinees take pleasure in progressing through levels appropriate to their individual abilities, appearing for GESE, which definitely helps them to improve their communicative skills. Eleven students appeared for the levels I-IX of GESE on 27.11.12 in Fitjee World School. The examiner was Ms Jill Coch from London.

The school feels proud that all of them have secured good grades, Distinction/Merit.
