      <title>Message from the COO – 2026 Outlook</title>
      <link>https://news.owis.org/global-schools/message-from-the-coo-2026-outlook</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As we begin 2026, we are reminded of a world in transition. From environmental challenges and technological advances to social and economic shifts, the pace of change is unprecedented. In this dynamic landscape, our schools have an important role to play: preparing students to navigate complexity, think critically, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the wider world.This year, our focus is on combining innovation with responsibility. Emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, offer exciting opportunities to link learning with sustainability. By equipping our students with future-ready skills and environmental awareness, we are preparing them not only for green careers but also for meaningful participation in a sustainable global economy. Our goal is to give students the tools and mindset to solve challenges and create positive impact in their communities.What inspires me most is the collective energy across our campuses. Sustainability comes alive through student-led initiatives, community projects, global forums, and campus actions. Each initiative, large or small, reflects the belief that change begins with awareness and grows through action. Students across our schools are taking part in service learning weeks, community events, donation drives, recycling campaigns, urban farming projects, and awareness activities. Every contribution matters and strengthens our shared culture of responsibility.Teachers are central to this effort. Through the Eco Forum, they connect, share best practices, and inspire each other across campuses. This collaboration ensures sustainability education remains innovative and impactful. We are also excited about our upcoming Global Excellence Day and Mock COP event, GED-MCOP, which will showcase student leadership and engagement in sustainability on a global scale.In 2026, we will continue to build momentum by deepening collaboration, amplifying student voice, and aligning initiatives with global sustainability goals. Our vision goes beyond creating environmentally responsible schools. We aim to nurture responsible citizens who lead with purpose, empathy, and integrity.I encourage everyone in our community—educators, students, parents, and partners—to actively participate in this journey. Together, we can turn awareness into action, and intention into impact. By embracing responsibility in its many forms, we can ensure that our collective efforts today contribute to a brighter, more resilient, and equitable tomorrow. ]]></description>

      <title>Exploring Our Green Friends: Wittians Learn About Nature Through Experience</title>
      <link>https://news.owis.org/global-schools/exploring-our-green-friends-wittians-learn-about-nature-through-experience</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Learning about the environment becomes truly meaningful when children can see, touch, and experience it for themselves. In an engaging and immersive activity, students explored the topic “Our Green Friends” by stepping outside the classroom and into the natural world around them. This hands-on approach transformed a simple revision lesson into an exciting opportunity to observe, discover, and connect with nature.As the students ventured outdoors, they were welcomed by a vibrant environment filled with plants, flowers, and greenery. The activity encouraged them to slow down, observe closely, and interact with their surroundings. Instead of relying solely on textbook illustrations, they experienced real-life examples, making learning both enjoyable and impactful.A key highlight of the session was the opportunity for students to observe plants up close. They examined leaves of different shapes and sizes, noticed the textures of stems, and admired the colours and patterns of flowers. By gently touching and exploring these natural elements, children engaged their senses, which helped them understand concepts more deeply and retain information better.The activity also focused on helping students identify and differentiate the various parts of a plant. With guidance from their teachers, they learned about roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, and understood the role each part plays in a plant’s growth and survival. Through simple questioning and observation, students were encouraged to think critically and share their findings, strengthening both their knowledge and communication skills.In addition to identifying plant parts, students explored different types of plants found in their surroundings. They observed small plants, shrubs, and tall trees, learning to distinguish between them based on their characteristics. This real-world exposure made it easier for them to grasp these concepts, which can often seem abstract when taught only through books.Beyond academic understanding, the activity helped instil a sense of appreciation and respect for nature. Students began to realise the importance of plants in everyday life—how they provide oxygen, food, shade, and contribute to a healthier environment. Such experiences play a vital role in shaping environmentally aware individuals who understand the value of preserving nature.The enthusiasm and curiosity displayed by the students were truly remarkable. They eagerly shared their observations, asked questions, and engaged in discussions with their peers. Learning became an active and joyful process, where children were not just absorbing information but experiencing it firsthand.This outdoor session also highlighted the importance of experiential learning in early education. By connecting classroom lessons with real-life experiences, students develop a deeper understanding of concepts and build a lasting interest in learning. Activities like these encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, all of which are essential for holistic development.Teachers played a crucial role in facilitating this experience, guiding students with thoughtful prompts and ensuring that learning objectives were met in an engaging manner. Their support helped create an environment where children felt confident to explore, question, and learn independently.In conclusion, revisiting “Our Green Friends” through an outdoor activity proved to be both effective and enjoyable. It reinforced classroom learning while encouraging students to connect with the natural world in a meaningful way. By stepping outside and engaging directly with nature, children not only strengthened their understanding but also developed a genuine appreciation for the environment—an important step towards becoming responsible and conscious individuals.]]></description>

      <title>Wittians Explore Money Concepts Through Playful Learning</title>
      <link>https://news.owis.org/global-schools/wittians-explore-money-concepts-through-playful-learning</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At Witty International School, learning is brought to life through engaging, hands-on experiences that help children connect classroom concepts with the real world. One such enriching activity recently conducted was the Toy Shop Role Play, where young learners stepped into the shoes of shopkeepers and customers. This interactive exercise not only sparked imagination and creativity but also strengthened their understanding of basic mathematical concepts in a practical and enjoyable way.The classroom was transformed into a vibrant toy shop, complete with colourful items, price tags, and play money. Students eagerly participated, taking turns to play different roles. As shopkeepers, they arranged toys, labelled prices, and interacted with their “customers” in a polite and organised manner. As customers, they selected items, calculated costs, and made payments using pretend currency. This immersive environment created a sense of excitement and curiosity, encouraging every child to participate actively.Through this role play, students were introduced to the fundamental concept of money in a manner that felt natural and meaningful. Instead of merely solving sums on paper, they applied addition to calculate the total cost of items they wished to purchase. For instance, if a child selected two toys with different prices, they had to add the amounts to determine how much money was required. This practical application helped them understand the relevance of addition in everyday life.Equally important was the introduction to subtraction, particularly while calculating the return amount or change. When a customer paid more than the actual cost, the shopkeeper had to subtract the total price from the amount received and return the correct balance. This exercise enhanced their numerical accuracy and built confidence in handling simple financial transactions.Beyond mathematics, the activity also nurtured essential life skills. Communication played a key role, as students practised speaking politely, asking questions, and responding appropriately. Phrases such as “How can I help you?”, “That will be five rupees,” and “Here is your change” became part of their vocabulary, promoting both language development and social etiquette.The Toy Shop Role Play also encouraged teamwork and cooperation. Students observed one another, shared ideas, and learned to wait for their turn. They developed patience and respect while engaging in group interactions. Moreover, the activity fostered problem-solving skills, as children figured out how to manage transactions, correct mistakes, and ensure smooth exchanges.Teachers played a guiding role throughout the session, gently assisting students when needed and ensuring that learning objectives were met. They created a supportive environment where children felt comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and learning from them. By blending play with structured learning, educators ensured that the experience was both enjoyable and educational.Such experiential learning activities are an integral part of the school’s approach to education. They go beyond textbooks, helping students build a deeper understanding of concepts while developing confidence and independence. The Toy Shop Role Play is a wonderful example of how simple classroom activities can leave a lasting impact on young minds.In conclusion, the activity proved to be a delightful and effective way to introduce children to the concept of money while reinforcing addition and subtraction skills. It demonstrated that learning can be both fun and meaningful when children are given the opportunity to explore, interact, and apply their knowledge in real-life scenarios.]]></description>
