Happy Earth Day
22 April, 2023
Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22nd, and it's a day to celebrate our planet and think about the impact our actions have on the environment. Climate change is a critical issue that we all need to address, and one way we can do that is by being mindful of our environmental behavior both at home and in school.
First, let's talk about the things we can do at home to help reduce climate change. One of the biggest things we can do is to conserve energy. This means turning off lights and electronics when we're not using them, using energy-efficient appliances, and turning down the heat or air conditioning when we're not home. We can also reduce our carbon footprint by walking, biking, or taking public transportation instead of driving a car.
Another way we can help is by conserving water. This means taking shorter showers, fixing leaky faucets, and not leaving the tap running when we're brushing our teeth or washing dishes. We can also reduce our waste by recycling, composting, and using reusable bags, containers, and water bottles.
Now let's talk about how we can be more environmentally conscious at school. One thing we can do is to reduce paper waste. This means using both sides of the paper when we write or draw, and recycling paper instead of throwing it away. We can also conserve energy by turning off lights and electronics when we're not using them and unplugging chargers when they're not in use.
Another way we can help is by being mindful of our water usage. This means not leaving the tap running when we're washing our hands or using the bathroom, and reporting any leaks or other problems to school staff. We can also reduce waste by using reusable containers, water bottles, and utensils instead of disposable ones.
In addition to these individual actions, we can also work together to make our school more environmentally friendly. This could mean starting a school garden, organizing a recycling program, or advocating for policies that support sustainability.
By being mindful of our environmental behavior at home and in school, we can make a big difference in reducing climate change. We all have a responsibility to take care of our planet, and Earth Day is a great reminder of that. So let's celebrate our planet and commit to making positive changes for a better future.

Why are Holidays Important?
7 April, 2023
Universally, there have been modifications to schools’ curricula and the question of whether holidays should be reduced, taken away or on the flipside, retained.
As an educational institution that prioritizes your wellbeing, our position is that holidays should be retained.
This is because as Dr. Corey Gonzalez, a prominent psychologist said in his interview at KGET news, ‘When there is too much hyper arousal, we need to shut off our brain’.
What this simply means is that there is a crucial need for you as a student to relax your brain to make a pleasurable, yet productive use of your holidays.
In fact, later in this guide, we will share with you the importance of why you are given holidays as a student, so that you can maximize your holiday as a student and be in your best creative frame of mind.
Speaking of creativity, Dr. Gonzales, also said something else in the interview that might interest you, especially, if you are one who likes being innovative and having fun at the same time. (I mean, who doesn’t?)
He shared that in order for you to enhance your prefrontal cortex (the front part of your brain) and be creative, you need to sleep well, work out often, and do what you enjoy.
For this reason, make sure that during the holiday you:
Spend quality time with your family:
Doing this will help you bond with your parents/guardian and your siblings.
Improve on your social life:
Aristotle, the iconic philosopher said, ‘man is zoon politikon’ (that is man is a political or social animal).
What this means is that as a human, your default nature is to socialize with others.
This is why you get excited when you meet an old friend, or you are chatting with a family member you are close to.
But this should be done moderately and with your guardian’s permission.
Lastly, go out with family.
It could be to eat out, or see a movie at a theater or travel to see a relative.
Doing this will increase your level of exposure, help you get more interesting experiences and the ecstasy and fun will greatly improve your mental health.
Now, why are holidays so important?
Importance of School Holidays
To Improve your Mental and Physical Health
Holidays are an avenue to take a halt from the intense academic session. In school you are engaged in various academic and extracurricular activities.
While you are not to stop studying and learning, holidays give you time to enjoy your hobbies and research has shown that doing what you love helps improve your mental health. The good news is, when your mental health is at the optimal level, physically you will stay healthy too.
Enough Time to Catch up
As a student, holidays give you ample time to catch up on subjects you need to study more and topics you need to understand.
You also have time to do your holiday assignments, read those books you have longing to read and equally time to eat well and ‘gain weight for the new session’.
Finally, as you are having fun and relaxing, which is important, ensure you are not lazing around, don’t stop studying and ensure you get enough sleep.

Parents' Inclusiveness in Children's Education
19 September, 2022
We love to use this opportunity to warmly welcome everyone in the Greenland community back for a new session as well as welcome new members: teachers, learners, and the support team. This is going to be an awesome year.
Breaks and vacations are convenient, especially for future professionals like our learners who recognize the importance of perseverance, hard work, and ethical behavior in society.
We genuinely hope you had a wonderful summer. For those of you who participated in the summer school program, we are confident you gained valuable knowledge. This new session should be exciting, thrilling, fun, and full of bountiful learning opportunities.
To our newly admitted learners, you are especially welcome to our prestigious institution. You are here to study more than just didacticism; you will be learning social skills, technological know-how, talent development, and success-driven ideals. When these pieces are put together, they will help you reach your full potential and become the best version of yourselves to prepare you for a dynamic future.
Many thanks to our tireless parents, who have gone above and beyond to assist us in maintaining the efficiency of this school.
The statement made by Bob Keeshan that "Parents are the ultimate role models for children" is true. Every deed, word, and movement has an impact. A parent's impact on a kid is greater than that of any other individual or outside entity. That is why we encourage parents to actively and consistently participate in their children's educational journey.
As an educational institution, we are dedicated to instilling good values and forming people's lives, but whether or not this is feasible is completely up to you (dear parents).
Your steadfast support is essential to the educational growth of your ward, and this support includes abiding by the school's policies, providing the necessary equipment, and upholding the standards set by the school even inside your homes.This speeds up the ascent to the target height we want learners to achieve. And in order for us to quickly reach this height, you (our beloved parents) must assist by reprimanding your child in both words and actions.
Carl Jung, a well-known school psychiatrist, once said, "Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his discourse." This statement provides insight into what it takes to discipline a child. Admonishing children and giving them control of their academic program is effective and definitely makes a difference. Our efforts alone won't be enough to ensure the learner's academic and interpersonal success; you must actively contribute to their achievement. This can only be accomplished by paying close attention to your ward's essential needs and being flexible and adaptable to our system since every new and innovative suggestion we make is for the benefit of every student.
We sincerely hope that every child is fully prepared intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically, and while we appreciate your contributions thus far, we kindly ask that you continue.
