HT School organised an interaction with parents on April 30 at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), Sector-126, NOIDA and on May 13 at KNMA, Saket. The event, titled Parents’ Connect, intends to showcase and provide in-depth information to the parent ecosystem, on all the HT School properties proposed for the year, and how students can participate in these programs for their overall personality and skill development. School principals were asked to nominate a lead member, from the school PTA, who can actively dispense information about the properties among the parent community for the benefit of the students.
At the event, properties lined up for the year were unveiled to an audience of enthusiastic parents who were impressed by the proposed set of events. This was followed by a guided tour of the art museum organised by KNMA Noida where the collection titled ‘Inner Life of Things: Around Anatomies and Armatures’ were on display. At KNMA Saket, three different collections were on display.
Parents then interacted with each other over high tea and shared their excitement over the different kind of new-age properties that were shared through the presentation. Subsequently, two activities to encourage creativity were organised by the KNMA staff where attendees were given raw materials like clay and wire to make art on-the-spot. With their child-like enthusiasm, parents dug deep into their activities and did not hesitate to get their hands dirty.
Over a 100 people from 50 schools including members of the PTA and teacher coordinators participated in the event.
“This is the first time I attended such an event and I am glad I did so because I learnt a lot about new-age activities such as Hackathon and Ecothon. It is great that HT School decided to reach out to parents themselves because often we do not have enough information but that gap was also bridged through this activity. I also enjoyed visiting the collection on display at the museum,” said Samir Kumar Sinha, PTA member, DPS, Greater Noida.
“I am delighted to be here and the properties unveiled by HT School are excellent. Students will gain exposure to various activities through these properties and HT is doing a great job,” said Sandhyashree Sarkar, teacher, Laxman Public School, Hauz Khas.
