It's another feather in the cap for the prestigious Coorg Public School (COPS) in Gonicoppa in Kodagu as it has won the International School Award (ISA) instituted by the British Council for its all round achievement this year.
Various activities
The school had organised a plethora of activities with a range of subject areas and collaborative work with partner schools overseas. Annual results have remained outstanding since its inception.
Visitors from the U.S.A, UK, and Thailand had come to the school and several interesting interactive sessions with resource persons from India and abroad were held. Return visits by the COPS students to those countries have made them bolder and instilled tremendous amount of confidence in them, Senior Principal of the COPS, M.D. Nanjunda says
Field trips and nature camps were organised and they had helped students gain experience. Exchanging information on the minute details of even plants in the gardens showed the keenness of the learners. Fashion show, quiz, skits, debates and awareness campaigns were also a part of those activities.
Reporting work
A dossier compiled by the students involving 11 projects such as Fruit World, Famous Monuments, Freedom Fighters, Costumes, Flowers, Snakes, Birds, Dances of the world, Celebrations of National Festivals, Organic Farming across the world and Coffee, reflected the concept of international education that formed the base on which COPS made the grade.
The British Council had adjudged the dossier as the most comprehensive and well structured documentation of the elaborate work. COPS now had the privilege of using the British Council logo on school literature, website and promotional materials.
Aiming globally
Moreover, it will enable it to create an international environment for students to further strengthen their contacts with schools abroad. This prestigious award will be presented to the school in October. Prof. Nanjunda says the efforts of the staff and students had fetched the award and it was a great accomplishment in pursuit of excellence. “The objective of the school is to empower students with global education,” Prof. Nanjunda adds.
