Title: Books that Build Futures: Highlanders Spark a Wave of Change -‘Har Haath Kitaab 3.0’
In a heartfelt effort to promote literacy and sustainability, the Senior School Highlanders of Scottish High International School, in collaboration with NGO Inchpaper—a proud partner of Mission LiFE (Ministry of Environment & Climate Change, Govt. of India)—successfully carried out the ‘Har Haath Kitaab 3.0’ initiative for the third year in a row.
With enthusiastic participation, our students collected 12 boxes of books—including storybooks, notebooks, and textbooks—carefully sorted and handed over for distribution to government schools, libraries, and underprivileged children. These books represent more than paper; they are tools of empowerment, education, and hope.
This meaningful initiative supports SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production, aligning with our commitment to both education and the environment. In 2025 alone, this drive helped reuse nearly 200 kgs of paper, saved 3 trees, conserved 5000 litres of water, and prevented 0.08 metric tonnes of CO₂e emissions.
As we celebrate World Environment Day, we applaud our Highlanders for driving real change—Books in every hand for a brighter future .
Celebrating World Environment Day – A Step Closer to Nature Just before closing of the school for summer vacations, to mark the occasion of World Environment Day, students at Scottish High International School decided to celebrate the day by taking a solemn pledge to protect the environment. They committed themselves to reducing plastic use, conserving natural resources, planting more trees, and inspiring others to adopt sustainable habits. This collective promise set a thoughtful and purposeful tone for the day.
The celebrations continued with a refreshing Nature Walk across the school campus. Students explored the vibrant flora and fauna around them, becoming familiar with various medicinal and indigenous plants such as Neem, Tulsi, Aloe Vera, Amla, Mint, Lemongrass, Curry Patta, Belpatra, Moringa, and more. Teachers and the green brigade of the school explained the ecological and health benefits of these species, encouraging students to connect with nature more deeply.
In their classrooms, students engaged in a range of environment-focused activities. These included interactive quizzes, Powerpoint presentation sessions, and meaningful discussions around this year’s global theme – “Beat Plastic Pollution.” The activities fostered awareness and critical thinking about the environmental crisis caused by plastic waste and empowered them to act as mindful guardians of the Earth.

Theme: “Unmasking the Appeal – Tobacco Kills: Be Smart, Don’t Start” Date: 29th May 2025 Venue: Scottish High International School
Each year, millions of lives are lost to tobacco use—lives that could have been saved. On 29th May 2025, just a day before the school closed for summer break, Scottish High International School came together to observe World No Tobacco Day with purpose and passion.
The theme, “Unmasking the Appeal – Tobacco Kills: Be Smart, Don’t Start,” resonated strongly with our students and teachers and staff, especially in an age where the tobacco industry continues to target young minds through clever marketing and flavored products that are addictive.
The day began with a powerful gesture—our Health Champions visited classrooms from Grades IX to XII, where they initiated conversations around tobacco use and led students in taking a heartfelt pledge to say no to all forms of tobacco. The message was simple but strong: Don’t get trapped by the tactics of the tobacco industry, peer pressure or curiosity. Choose health. Choose life.
This was followed by a wide range of student-led activities that were both informative and moving. Students designed posters and digital creatives that captured the harsh truths of tobacco addiction. Others worked in teams to produce audio-visual presentations, spreading awareness in a format that was both relatable and impactful.
One of the most stirring moments of the day came when a group of students performed a short drama, illustrating the suffering of families affected by tobacco use. Their performance portrayed not just the physical toll, but also the emotional and financial struggles—especially of those who are passive smokers. The silence in the classrooms said it all; the message had struck a chord.
Beyond performances, the most valuable moments were perhaps the ones that happened in classrooms. Teachers facilitated open discussions around how tobacco remains one of the leading causes of preventable deaths globally. Students talked about how the tobacco industry subtly targets the youth and why it’s important to resist these influences. There was a clear takeaway: awareness is the first step to prevention.
They also discussed the importance of supporting family members and friends who want to quit. Quitting is not easy, but with the right help—be it counseling, medication, or simply someone to talk to—it is possible.
In his message, Principal Dr. Sanjay Sachdeva praised the commitment and creativity of the students. He encouraged everyone to extend their awareness campaigns beyond the school walls, making use of social media to reach a wider audience. He emphasized the importance of spreading awareness and urged the students to become change-makers in their communities.
In Conclusion World No Tobacco Day at Scottish High was more than just an event—it was a reminder of the power young people hold to influence change. Through stories, creativity, and heartfelt conversations, our students showed that they are not just aware—they are ready to take action.
Because every step counts, and every voice matters in the journey toward a healthier, tobacco- free world.

Scottish High celebrated The French National Day on 13th July 2018. Witnessing a passionate participation of students from Std. VI to XII, all sporting French Flags, the celebration displayed the Highlanders’ wide acceptance and appreciation of the new culture. It was breathtaking to be an audience to such expanded and fluid demonstration of knowledge by the students, with their picture-perfect rendition of songs and dances. A special Quiz followed with the drama ‘The Little Red Riding Hood’ which the students acted in French made it all evident ‘the French connection’ that keeps these students glued to this beautiful language.
A proud moment for Scottish High as Special Olympics Bharat athletes from all across the country assembled at the premise of the school! Pulsating with the hustle and bustle of the athletes, the preparatory camp brought together around 400 athletes and 129 coaches, cut across 27 states of India.
A mock drill that endeavoured to simulate World Summer Games 2019, the camp unfolded a screening test of physical fitness for all the athletes and participants. Integrating various sports disciplines like Aquatics, Basketball, Golf, Handball et al, the camp was up-and-coming in equipping all the athletes with expertise and training and also in providing them momentum to look forward and see themselves as medal contenders in the World Summer Games, slated to be held in Abu Dhabi in 2019.
At Home’- A session meant to welcome the new parents to the evolving family of Scottish High, once again greeted them with all fervor and warmth. The new fleet of parents were taken through a round of presentations, followed with the introduction of all staff members of Scottish High fraternity.
