Ryan International School, Rohini - Student Achievements

Ryan International School, Rohini students – Amonjot Singh and Sahil Wadhwa of class XII have brought honour to the school and country by discovering an asteroid in the orbit of Mars. They are the first school students in Asia to discover an Asteroid. This research was conducted in association with the SPACE astronomy club as part of the All India Asteroid Search Campaign. Under the able guidance, vision and inspiration of Founder Chairman Dr. Augustine Francis Pinto and Managing Director Madam Grace Pinto, this achievement of Ryanites adds another feather to their cap.  

 The asteroid 2010 PO24 has been notified by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC), Texas. The students will have the opportunity to name the asteroid which is temporarily designated 2010 PO24. Special software called ASTROMETRICA were given to these two students to analyze these pictures on 3 parameters – graph, their movement and SNR value.

Madam Grace Pinto says "We thank God for gifting our children with such innovative exploring skills as a part of our school environment. Nothing is Impossible. Even "impossible" is "i-m-possible". All our students dream high and as a school, we work towards realizing their dream to a reality."

Ryan International Group of Institutions bags International School Award

It is indeed a prestigious moment for all Ryanites to know that 17 schools across India under the aegis of Ryan International Group of Institutions have been successfully accredited with the British Council International School Award (ISA) for 2008-09.

The ISA is a global platform that provides recognition for teachers and their schools working to instill a global dimension into the learning experience of every child and young people. It is an accreditation scheme run by the British Council for the Department for Children, Schools and Families in the UK. It’s a scheme that recognizes good practice in adding an international dimension to the school curriculum.

Under the ISA, Ryan schools made an annual action plan consisting of 7-8 activities as per the guidelines from the British Council and then implemented it as a part of the curriculum with providing evidence for the same.

The Managing Director of Ryan International Group of Institutions, Madam Grace Pinto also expressed her views as, “ISA is a global platform that gives an exposure to every child to experience global cultures so as to understand and appreciate the differences between varied cultures. This award is just the beginning…..it is a recognition and acknowledgement of the efforts put in by the students and teachers….We hope to continue exchanging pedagogy and ideas with the international links established during this journey.”

The Project Manager (West India) of British Council, Ms.Ruchira Ghosh expressed her experience as; ‘It was interesting to see a large number of schools from the Ryan Group apply for the prestigious International School Award in 2008-9. The dossiers reflected a wide range of international activities and varied approaches to internationalism. The schools that have been successfully awarded the accreditation have demonstrated their commitment to developing international dimension in the curriculum and we would like to encourage them to develop this further in the coming years.

  • Ryan students achieve Co-Pilots license in Canada : Imagine a school student flying an airplane on his/her own!

    We take great pride in announcing the commendable feat of achieving the Airtime Canada Co-Pilots license by 11 young students and 2 instructors of Ryan International Group of Institutions. These groups of 11 students are the youngest school children in India to have gained this international experience in the field of Aviation.

    RIGI believes that it is the responsibility of educational institutions to cater to the growing need of Quality Skill Development Education in India. Therefore, we have initiated efforts to fulfill this need by having established Friendship Institutions across the globe and School District # 42 is one of them located in Vancouver, Canada. We were fortunate to have jointly organized an Aviation and Leadership Camp for 12 to 15 year old Ryan students. We are confident that our initiative will be ably supported by the Government and Aviation Industry.

    The Basic Aviation Skills program was delivered by Pacific Rim Aviation Academy and Air Fun at the Pitt Meadows Airport Canada, in association with the School District # 42. The Program has been running since 1994 and is highly rated for commitment to safety. Instructors are well trained and experienced in Canada and airplanes are maintained to the highest Canadian Standards. For this program Pacific Rim instructors were used & briefed on the content and delivery as per strict guidelines.

    Our two fold objective behind this initiative was to orient students with a hand-on experience of being a pilot and thus opening an avenue to consider Aviation as a possible career option and to enhance their self-confidence and boost their leadership skills.


  • RYAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL,SANPADA : OUR SOLDIERS MARCH TO THE PINNACLES OF GLORY

    Ryan International School, Sanpada reaped an undefined victory on a prestigious research paper entitled “Doors to Diplomacy”. It is often said that “A project done in a cumulative Manner remains in memory for ever”. Our team had strenuously put in their efforts to achieve this target. The entire credit of this project goes to our battalion Mst. Dhwanil Shah, Mst. Abhiraj Darshankar and Ms. Shruti kokate and the team commanders Miss Sheeba Ajay and Miss Rashmi Singh.

    We use metonymy for the term “Soldiers” as it symbolizes “The protectors of the World.” Our students feel that they have the authority to shield this world and make it a better place to live. The problem of child labour is prevailing everywhere in this world. The main objective of our project was to make the people aware about eradicating the evil menace of child labour from our society. Our team was sagacious on this project and held a view that they were THE VIGILS – The Progeny Undefined. In this path of success our team was lead towards a beam of light, we have sincerely put forward the directives in this esteemed paper presentation. The reward of this sublime project was beyond expectation. Our honour lies in receiving GOLD AWARDS sponsored by US State Departm-ent. Our search led us to root cause and general matters concerning Child Labour. Futhering our investigation we had to interact with voluntary organization like “CRY” and many other organizations working for the cause of children. About 150 surveys were conducted, 50 online surveys on net we realized that 179 million children in the six to fourteen age group do not go to school and are engaged in child labour. This was really an eye opener for our investigating team.

    Our aim is to set up a centre named “VATSALYA” which means love and care. We are also focusing on NANOTECHNOLOGY. It is a form of emerging technologies set to change the world. Nanotechnology is the field of applied science and technology covering a broad range of topics. It involves structures, devices and having novel properties and functions due to arrangement of their atoms on the 1 to 100 nanometer scale. A group of four students Mst. Ankit Seal, Mst. Madhusudhan Kale, Mst. Pratik Gupta, Ms. Shweta Chabukswar worked under their coach Miss Madhavi Sarang on this project and received HONOURABLE MENTION AWARD.

    We are grateful to the Chairman Dr Augustine Pinto and Managing Director Madam Grace Pinto for their kind support and goodwill in all our endeavor. Hoping to get involved in more progressive assignments with your blessings. May success be always be there in our path.

  • Ryan Institute for Market Driven Education (RIMDE) had offered WIDE world (Developed at Harvard Graduate school of Education)'s online course on Multiple Intelligences for more than 150 educators of Ryan International group of institutions. The theory of Multiple Intelligence was developed by Prof. Howard Gardner from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a course led by the WIDE World instructors had helped Ryan International teachers to address the needs of their students with different learning styles and strengths.

    This online course comprised of 12 weeks professional development and involved many teachers from institutions all over the world. They worked in school-based teams and joined study groups led by WIDE World coaches from around the world. As in other WIDE World courses, participants in the MI course collaborated with other educators in their school-based teams and completed course assignments that require to apply what they are learning in their classroom settings and discuss/reflect on the outcomes with their teammates and study group colleagues.

    An awareness of the Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory stimulated the teachers to find more ways of helping students in their classes and allowed them to safely explore and learn in many ways. Adults can help students understand and appreciate their strengths, and identify real-world activities that will stimulate more learning.

    It is surely the first time in India that 115 teachers from a single educational group (Ryan) have joined as a combined group to enroll for an online course specially using technology as a tool. The course will develop one's understanding of how Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory fines and describes intelligence, the ways in which Multiple Intelligences theory can support teaching and learning practices, how one can apply MI theory well according to one's goals, and how one can learn effectively in an online environment. The kick-off workshops for the participants was directly conducted by the WIDE consultants in Surat and Delhi on 2nd and 4th February 2008 respectively. The online orientation of the course has begun from 7th February 2008, with participations from approx.200 teachers worldwide from China, Canada, United States, Iran, Nigeria, and Turkey. Our Indian teachers across the nation will be communicating, interacting and sharing ideas with various teachers through their different study groups.

    Mrs. Grace Pinto, the Managing Director of Ryan International group exclaims, "We render all the due credit for our success to God and RIMDE for their efforts in availing the professional development services of WIDE World at Harvard Graduate School of Education in developing our teachers on the critical theory of Multiple Intelligence. We are confident that our efforts will enhance our teachers to the world of interactive learning and teaching. This course is just a small seed which is being sowed between our respective institutions and will soon cater to lot of mutual initiatives in the days to come. Very soon, we aim to develop several Ryan International Group of Institutions faculty as WIDE World coaches within our institutions."

    This initiative has been forwarded as a unique claim to the "Limca Book of Records'' for being the largest online group of teachers from a single educational group to ever join an ONLINE teacher education course through Internet from India.

  • A Leap towards quality education : In an age where fierce compe¬tition over academic excellence is laying grounds to deteriorate the quality of ed¬ucation, Ryan International School, Gore¬gaon has proved it otherwise when it was adjudged the top ranking school in the state and 16th best in the country in a re¬cently released survey conducted by Ed¬ucation World- IMRB (Indian Market Re¬search Bureau).

    The felicitation ceremony involved a panel discussion on 'Nurturing the Fu-ture Leaders', which was addressed by Jitender Balakrishnan, deputy manag-ing director, IDBI Bank Ltd, Charles As¬sisi, business editor, Times of India, Anil Singhvi, markets editor, CNBC Awaaz and Dilip Thakore, editor, Education World. The focus of the discussion mod¬erated by George Koshy, CNN-IBN re-volved around several aspects concern¬ing upgradation and excellence of edu-cation, which emphasized on the need of a synergy between the corporate, acade¬mia and media for an effective education system for future generation students.

    The host of the programme, Ryan In¬ternational Group of schools, spear-headed by Dr Augustine Pinto said, "It is our vision to be a premier global educa¬tional institution and provide all round development qualities in all our students. This ranking is a proof of our efforts in this direction."

    While Thakore pointed out at the alarming statistics of education in India, he remarked, "Corporate organisations need to pitch in and interact or form train¬ing centres within educational institu¬tions to supplement teachers' training programmes and curriculum develop¬ment." To this, Balakrishnan responded, "We need to introspect our education sys¬tem deeply and rethink on the existent policies and corresponding needs of the society. We need to have institutions that offer a professional cutting edge to our students to make them global citizens and at the same time, plan to reach out at the rural levels. "

    When a parent from the audience raised her concerns on the dearth of ex-perienced and well-trained teachers due to poor salaries, Thakore replied, "The only solution here is to increase our spending on education, so that we can hire qualified teachers for our students and retain them too." He also envisioned ways to take education topmost on the national agenda.

    Charles Assisi opined that media can playa critical role in the overall devel-opment of students and is equally re¬sponsible for shaping their career goals. He also responded to the reservation is¬sue saying, "Affirmative reservation will only help to bring the deprived sections of the society to mainstream education." While Anil Singhvi pointed out that an increasing number of parents burden their students by expecting them to ex¬cel in academics, he also urged them "to identify a child's potential, his/her area of interest and further encourage them to do what they are best at." Koshy rein¬stated that establishing a positive syner¬gy among corporate organizations, aca¬demia, media and government would leave a promising mark behind for oth¬ers to take the cue and follow.

    Dr Augustine Pinto made a valuable point, "It is very easy to play the blame game or point a finger at what is not be¬ing done. Instead, each one of us should be proactive and implement the 'each one teach one' programme that we intend to take forward from this year." The thought provoking session ended on a promising note that where there is a confident will, there is a definite way.

Now since nine years and innumerable ventures later once again these children have proved that there is no stopping them as they have returned victorious from the 9th ICSQCC Convention which was held at Srilanka with a bag full of awards and the Over All Championship Trophy for their excellent case study presentations. Also winning the 1st prizes for Debate, Skit, Poster and Slogan and Collage Competitions proved that the talents of these multifaceted Ryanites are not confined to a single area.

    The convention was an excellent opportunity for these children to learn and grow as they had a chance to meet and compete against delegates from all over the world.

    These achievers give the credit for their success to their Chairman Sir Dr.Augustine Pinto and Managing Director Madam Grace Pinto who are their mentors and have inspired them to explore new vistas and provided them with the opportunities to experiment and achieve new goals.
