	Skype with Yewchung International School, Beijing, China Road accidents do happen in countries all over the world but the major factor of Road accidents varies from nation to nation and region to region. In India, lack of Education and awareness plays major role in road mishaps. Besides this there are other factors which are purely related to the design and other mathematical aspects of the road. Students of S.D. Public School worked intensively on the project, “Mathematical Approach to understand Global issues in order to create sustainable environment“. We specifically selected the very concern of our modern society and that is “Road Safety”. A lot of brain storming was done, a variety of approaches were discussed, before proceeding with a final format of studying the issue of roads safety in Japan, China, Europe, America etc. Under this project, did comparative study and listed out the problems related to traffic management and safety measures that could be set up in those areas. They interacted with students and teachers of a partner school in China and shared their work through Skype and e mail exchanges. The students prepared models representing an alternative plan for any problematic road design. As a part of this project, I have also learned various aspects and mathematics behind designing and construction of roads. Overall, it was a very enriching experience for students as well as teachers. - Ajay Marwaha PGT & HOD Mathematics
	British Council International School Award 2018-21 We are delighted to inform you all our parents, students, teachers, supporting staff and other stakeholders that our school has been successful in gaining the British Council International School Award and is accredited for the period 2018-21.

	Injury gives your tears whereas safety cheers Our school had taken up an inter school collaborative project on the Theme "Mathematical Approach to understand global issues in order to create sustainable environment". Under this project, the students of our school made a study of various road designs of our country and compared these designs with the designs of other countries such as UAE, China and Australia etc. After doing the comparative study, students listed out various problems related to road designs, safety measures and the traffic rules and regulations in our country with the help of a power point presentation. Keeping in mind the above problems, our students selected a particular problematic neighbourhood area and worked on that area. They studied about the problems related to traffic in that area and the causes of that traffic problems. Then they gave some suggestive measures to improve the traffic situation in that area and presented their suggestive measures through a model. Our students also interacted with international schools of China and Australia through skype sessions and Email exchange.
	British Council International School Award 2018-21 We started our joyful journey with British Council ISA way back in 2014-15. This is our second opportunity to be associated with them. We came back again because this partnership gave fruitful paybacks in terms of increased global outlook, better equipped teachers and staff members in dealing with growing segregation amongst societies/countries. Our school, developed various action plans to implement international activities in our curriculum throughout the year 2017-2018. The British Council International School Award (ISA) activities helped our school in gaining an outstanding level of interaction and support for nurturing global citizenship in young students as well as enriching teaching and learning processes. We collaborated with overseas schools to create a rich learning experience for our students through use of ICT. This opportunity, came handy and students gained many skills in real context such as problem-solving or communication skills. This project was made possible with the support of school Principal Ms. Anita Sharma and untiring students, parents, teachers and supporting staff of the school who worked tirelessly before and after school hours.

	International Policy of the school Our mission is to empower the young minds with knowledge, reasons, life skills, self-beliefs, ethics and patriotism. We want to be a contented, compassionate, and happy community where each child will eventually become a progressive and sensitive human being. Everyone will be supported, nurtured and inspired to be the very best they can be. For those who are known as magnanimous, the entire world constitutes but a family. Ancient Indian civilization stressed on "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" a Sanskrit phrase which means "the world is one family". The statement is not just about peace and harmony among the societies in the world, but also about a truth that somehow the whole world has to live together like a family. -Promote a sense of global identity. -Appreciate the richness and diverse heritage of the world. -Understand complex international inter-dependencies. -Acknowledge that we are not alone on this planet.
