admin — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:18:51 +0000

Our Highlanders, faces glowing under fairy lights, whispering secrets as they become Secret Santas for the beaming kids at Pure Hearts NGO!
With wishlists clutched like magic scrolls, they raced through shops for just-the-right toys and treats, taped ribbons with clumsy fingers and contagious giggles, then tumbled into a whirlwind day of crushing hugs, off-key carols, goofy games, and laughter that echoed like bells—igniting tiny dreams that flicker warm and bright for years!
One small act of kindness, a lifetime of joy. That’s Highlanders’ holiday heart.

Healing Hands: Scottish High Brings Care and Wellness to Udaan School

admin — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 07:05:58 +0000

Scottish High International School organized a Free Medical Camp on 22nd February 2025 at Udaan School, run by the NGO We Care Foundation in Sector 57.

Led by Dr. Vandana Parti and the school’s medical team, the initiative aimed to provide essential healthcare services to underprivileged students, offering free medical checkups and medicines.

A team of Grade XII students volunteered enthusiastically, assisting in registration, checking vitals, and spreading awareness about nutrition. As anaemia, fatigue, and body pain were common concerns, students educated beneficiaries on iron-rich diets, emphasizing leafy greens, lentils, sprouts, and citrus fruits for better iron absorption.

The camp addressed various health concerns like malnutrition, respiratory issues, and skin disorders, with further guidance for eye checkups and specialized treatments. Beyond providing medical aid, this initiative nurtured a spirit of compassion and social responsibility, leaving a lasting impact on both students and the community.

HIGHLANDERS CAMPAIGN TO SAVE ARAVALLIS

admin — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 08:49:12 +0000

Highlander Green Warriors have joined hands with the student representatives of many schools in Delhi and the NCR region and visited the Prime Minister’s Office, Environment Minister’s Office, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and Haryana and Rajasthan Chief Ministers’ Offices to give their petition to support the ‘Aravalli Bachao Campaign’ for the threat that ‘NCR Draft Regional Plan 2041’ poses to the entire ecosystem and the quality of life of everyone living in the NCR area.

Earlier the entire Scottish High Community signed a petition to remove the environmental dilutions from the NCR Draft Plan 2041. In their petition, the Green Warriors highlighted that the implementation of the new NCR Draft Regional Plan 2041 will threaten the quality of life of millions of people living in the 25 districts of the 4 NCR states as this draft plan excludes the terms ‘Aravallis’, ‘Forest Areas’, ‘Natural Conservation Zone’. It has also removed tributaries, floodplains of rivers and waterbodies not created by acts of nature and other natural areas not recognized in revenue records or notified under central or state acts etc.

They handed over the petition which was signed by more than 12000 students and 900 teachers and requested the authorities asking them to remove the environment and ecosystem-related dilutions in the NCR Draft Regional Plan 2041.

If this draft plan is implemented the way it is, it will take away protection for most of our natural ecosystems and will open them for commercialisation in 25 districts across the 4 NCR states of Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

While talking to the Highlanders, the Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Mr Hardeep Singh Puri, ensured that he will consider their request and suggestions given by the environmentalists and will invite the students for a workshop to strengthen the environmental and ecological aspects of Aravallis.

Students are planning to give the petition to the Chief Ministers of UP and Delhi as well as to the top bureaucrats to register objections to this draft plan and give suggestions to them to increase the forest cover of Aravallis.

Eco Warriors of Scottish High – Celebrating the true spirit of Independence by Going Native

On the occasion of the 75th Amrit Utsav of Indian Independence, Class XI-DP of Scottish High International School, in collaboration with the NGO, ‘IAmGurgaon’, visited the Aravalli OxyVan to revive and restore the area which is spread over 180 acres at the Faridabad Gurugram road near khushboo Chowk. In a specially arranged drive for the tree plantation, the students gained the valuable experience of learning about a vast array of plant species, and gaining knowledge about the plants and trees native to the Aravali environment, some examples of which included Arna, Barna, Bistendu, Dhudhi, Dhak, Goya Khair, Jhinjheri, Goondi, Gangeti, Mithi Jaal, Adulsa, etc. They expressed their admiration and care for the natural environment, each of them playing their part to help to reforest our Gurugram by planting various native saplings and aiding against deforestation and the drive to decrease air pollution levels. Each of the environmentalists there clearly had much passion for their cause and helped the students learn the proper manner of planting trees, to ensure the maximum chances of a plant surviving and hopefully, becoming a self-sustaining tree. Overall, it was an enriching experience for the students enhancing their environmental knowledge, as well as putting them in the unique position of being able to benefit their local community by dedicating a few hours of their time. The School Director Mrs Sudha Goyal praised the students and motivated them further to plant the saplings in their neighbourhood areas also and nurture them till the time they become self-sustained.
