The Heritage School, Rohini

Celebrating World Environment Day 2026 | Plantation Drive

As part of the nationwide “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiative, staff of The Heritage School, Rohini came together to plant saplings and reaffirm their commitment to a greener, healthier future.

Through this plantation drive, we took a meaningful step towards climate action while honouring the nurturing spirit of mothers and Mother Earth.

Every tree planted today is a promise for tomorrow.

Our Grade 3 learners turned into young problem-solvers and innovators!

Before going for the summer vacations, the children began wondering — “Who will water our kitchen garden when we are away?” Instead of waiting for adults to solve the problem, they decided to create their own solution: a drip irrigation system!

The journey began with thoughtful discussions, brainstorming, and sketching blueprints. The students carefully planned their ideas, created models using simple materials, tested them, improved them, and finally installed the systems in their kitchen garden.

Through this hands-on project, the children explored teamwork, design thinking, observation, and sustainable ways of caring for plants. Watching their ideas come to life made them realise that even small innovations can make a big difference.

Our Junior Program teachers recently gathered for a professional development session on “Discovering Learning Differences & Reconciling Learner Profiles” designed not to instruct but to invite reflection.

Led by Dr. Geetika Kapoor, consultant school psychologist, the session asked our teachers to sit with curiosity, question assumptions, and see every learner with fresh eyes.

Through immersive activities and honest conversations around neurodiversity and inclusion, our teachers didn’t just attend a session; they became learners themselves.

Inclusion isn’t a policy we implement; instead, it’s a practice we return to, with intention and humility, keeping our learners always at the centre.

The 15th Heritage Intra MUN concluded recently at The Heritage School, Rohini.

Since 2012, the Heritage Intra MUN has been a student institution — a space where Heritage students first learn what it means to hold a position, defend it under pressure, and engage honestly with a view they disagree with. This XV edition carried that spirit forward.

The two-day conference was inaugurated by the Principal, Ms. Yakshi Gulati, whose address set the tone for the structured, student-led diplomacy that followed.

Five committees. Five demanding questions.

1) Directorate of Enforcement (ED) — tackling terror financing, hawala networks, and the limits of FEMA and PMLA in the age of cryptocurrency.
2) All India Political Parties Meet (AIPPM) — revisiting the 1975 Allahabad High Court verdict and the collision between judicial authority and democratic mandate.
3) Ibadat Khana — debating Akbar’s Sulh-i-Kul and whether religious pluralism strengthens or fractures an empire.
4) United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) — examining how trade, debt, and infrastructure diplomacy have quietly replaced conquest as the tools of global power.
5) Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL) — deliberating on the sustainability of UNRWA and the future of over 5,26,000 Palestinian refugee students.

Running alongside the committees, the International Press team published The Imperial Ledger, a two-edition conference newsletter capturing every session through journalism, cartoons, photography, and poetry. The team brought a distinct editorial voice to an already remarkable conference.

We are proud of all the delegates who walked into this edition and even prouder of the legacy they walked out carrying.

ExperientialLearning

Beat the Heat—Summer arrived in our classrooms, and our children made the most of it.

As the season turned warm, our Grade 1 and Grade 2 children didn’t just read about staying cool; they lived it.

Grade 2 children designed vibrant posters on staying cool and shared them with their Grade 1 buddies, turning knowledge into an act of care. Together, both classes celebrated a Summer Fruit Day discovering that healthy eating can be genuinely joyful.

Grade 1 children prepared sattu, a traditional Indian drink that has cooled generations of summers, connecting classroom learning with culture and everyday wisdom.

The deeper lesson in all of this: When children engage with the world around them, when they design, prepare, taste, and teach, they develop something no worksheet can measure. Curiosity that reaches outward. Confidence that comes from doing. Understanding that sticks.

We at The Heritage School believe that experiential learning is not an activity added on top of the curriculum but learning woven into life itself.

From a tiny seed to a living sprout, our grade 2 learners, witnessing growth firsthand.

Last week, our young explorers sowed rajma seeds, watched them sprout, and then extended their curiosity to barley, wheat, and mustard seeds, discovering that every seed carries its own story of growth.

But the learning didn’t stop at observation. Children prepared their own sprout salad from green pulses, connecting what they saw in science to what they ate at the table. A moment where knowledge became nourishment.

At Heritage, experiential learning isn’t an add-on. It is how we believe children truly understand the world, through their hands, their senses, and their own wonder.

What our young scientists took away:
— How germination works, seed to sprout
— That different seeds grow differently
— The link between healthy food and how it grows
— That curiosity, patience, and observation are the tools of a learner

Grade X Students Explore the World Beyond the Classroom at TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) Gram, Gurugram

Students of Grade X recently visited , Gurugram and came back with more than notes. They came back with perspective.

From solar-powered architecture and root-zone water treatment to tissue culture labs and vermicomposting units, every corner of the campus turned a textbook concept into something they could see, touch, and inquire about.

This wasn’t a field trip. It was science made visible and sustainability made real.

At The Heritage School, Rohini, we believe the most lasting lessons happen when learning steps outside the classroom and meets the world it’s meant to serve.
