Dear Dr. Chaudhuri,
Warm Greetings!

Aravind came back home from the field trip today brimming with joy and excitement.
Many many thanks to the PICT team for this trip. It has been a very well-organized and equally well-executed trip. We were very impressed with the WhatsApp group created and the regular updates shared with us. A special mention and thanks to all the staff members who accompanied the children and took such good care of them throughout the trip.
The discipline and attention to detail that our school sticks to is something that never fails to amaze me.
Thank you once again.

Dear Ma’am,

We, parents of Vyom and Shlok learning in G 10 and G 6 respectively, would like to appreciate the well-arranged and managed overnight outstation trips scheduled in December and January.
Would request you to pass on our appreciation to all involved staff members and the Indian Odyssey Team
Our children enjoyed the trips and the overall experience of the trips. Looking forward to many more such trips in the future.

Dear PICT Team,

This mail is to appreciate the whole team for the outdoor trip arranged by the school. My ward Aarav Rathi enjoyed it a lot. It was a great learning avenue for him. The trip was very well planned and arranged. We as parents were receiving timely notifications and pictures from the team.
Looking forward to more such engagements for the kids.

Dear Ma'am,

Today we would really like to appreciate all the efforts put in by you and your team in arranging the overnight trip to Monteria Village. This was his first experience away from family but with the known PICT family which was so filled with excitement and fun that he has all the good things and joyful moments to share with us. Never seen him so cheerfully revisiting the travel memories. All your effort is translating to obvious improvements in our child. The students of this academy can never tell their stories without including the great role you have played in their lives. I want to appreciate the Principal Ma'am and staff for their steadfastness to see the students excel not only academically but also focus on their overall well-being. The recently well-organized overnight trip for Grade 6 to Monteria resort was a perfect example of great project management, be it from requirement gathering, planning, resource alignment, risk analysis, on-field end-to-end support with superb flawless execution along with timely updates to the parents!
Thank you, Principal Ma’am and all PICT teachers/staff for everything you do, we are forever grateful for all the time and effort you put in, for this school to continue getting better. You have added a great memory to our child’s memory bank which he will cherish forever!
Looking forward to having such active engagements with them in the future!

Dear Team,

Another massive highlight of this academic year was the school organized so meticulously. Thank you everyone in the PICT Team for making this a huge success.
Pampa ma'am, Abira ma'am, Alpana Ma'am under your guidance and abiding support this would not have been possible.
A bourne feat accomplished with all learners and parent partners happy.
Truly the only school that thinks from all parameters for all on a balanced scale.
Look forward to another fruitful year as my ward enters middle school in 2023-24.

Respected Ma'am,

I'm the mother of Parv Bang and Neil Bang. They both had gone for their respective field trips, and both had thoroughly enjoyed them. The teachers were kind enough to share numerous pictures of the various activities the children did. I really appreciate the initiative and would like to thank you all for the same.
I hope such trips continue to be a part of the school activities. It would also be great if the children had a sports day annually too.
Thank you once again!

Dear Ma'am,

My daughter Ahaana Tiwari had a wonderful time during the picnic at the Monteria Village Resort.
In my personal opinion, this was a much-needed trip for the kids and the school has done a wonderful job on all fronts along with the vendor -Indian Odyssey.
She also had an episode of vomiting but that was managed well too.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the school and teachers for organizing and executing such a memorable trip and adding such beautiful memories to their lives. Thanking you.

- Anshuma Tiwari
Parent of Grade 6

Respected Pampa Ma'am and Abira Ma'am,

This email is to thank you for the awesome field trip that the school arranged for the learners. All the kids had wide smiles as they came back home.
Since she is back, Swarali only has fond memories to talk about the field trip. Be it the travel, food, their stay, Monteria village, or the DJ night, she only has lovely memories to talk about. Most of the kids are already looking forward to their field trip next year :) The entire trip right from the orientations to their pick-up from school yesterday was very well organized and executed. Also, the educators and staff provided us with photos and updates on the WhatsApp group regularly.
Thank you to the entire staff at PICT, the educators and staff who accompanied them and took good care of all the learners. Please convey our gratitude to the Indian Odyssey team for the entire experience. Looking forward to many more such memories!!!!

Dear Madam,

It is a privilege to have our child go to PICT. It was exemplified by the amount of planning and preparation that had gone into and behind the scenes. More importantly, balancing safety and enjoyment is quite a tightrope and I must acknowledge that this was perfectly balanced by each one of the staff at PICT. There were times when children were quite tired of the unending briefings and there was a lot of commotion in WhatsApp groups expressing angst and displeasure, but with the advantage of hindsight, I would be the first to admit that each act by the school, each diktat and each guideline issued, were singularly responsible to make the trip a safe environment for the learners.
The choice of location and the depth of information given to the learners is also commendable. When Anagha excitedly pointed out that we had skipped Nathmal ki Haveli on our trip earlier, and the details around how its twin architects went about decorating the haveli until the two met, or the Shringar Chowk or the 300 Jalis inside Mehrangarh, it really is a testament to how learning should be conducted in a school. Without rambling further, I would like to end this note with a deep sense of appreciation and also urge you to ignore any snide comments or negative feedback from any quarter because the only thing that I can say with certainty, is that a trip of such a magnitude couldn’t have been possible without a very determined set of folks at the helm providing unwavering direction.

This message is in appreciation for Jr.Kg Frangipani Home teacher Ms. Lalita. I would like to sincerely thank her for her commendable efforts in mentoring the kids. Where in time we had never thought of online schools, teaching pre-primary kids was sure a task. You have not only built an excellent rapport with tiny kids and but have taught in a way that amuses them, Avyukt has had a fun time throughout the year and he used to look forward to the classes.
Once again a big thank you for your valuable support and guidance. Wishing you all the best in all future endeavours.

- Swati Satarkar Parent of Jr.Kg, Frangipani

Dear Pampa Ma'am, Dear Manju Ma'am,

Here's wishing you both and the entire team of educators at PICT Model School a very Happy Teachers Day!!

Dear Teachers - We may not say this as often as we should, but our learners enjoy coming to school because of you. However, in the challenging phase we all have been in for over several months now, the efforts put in by each of you to bring us a school away from school have indeed been phenomenal. Our gratitude.

It's your day today.. We celebrate and cherish the wonderful teacher in each one of you.. Continue the great work you have been doing... Wishing you all many more fulfilling years ahead...

Enjoy your special day, Teachers..:)

Dear PICT Model School Management, Teachers and Staff,

I would like to deeply thank you for all the efforts that you have taken over the last year for the continued benefit of our children's learning.

It has been an extraordinary year to say the least, and everyone has had to adapt. But you as an organization had a much larger responsibility to respond to this change, as you are in a position to influence and impact the lives of so many others, not just yourself and your family. And I must say that this responsibility was pulled off exceptionally well. We highly appreciated it and are forever thankful to you for that.

In the light of the second wave of infections that we're seeing right now, I am all the more thankful for the fact that you asked for parents' consent earlier this year when considering to re-open physical school. I think in deciding to not start physical school we jointly prevented what could have been a very risky proposition for children and staff alike.

Once again, thanks for everything. We wish everyone good health and unending learning.

Warm regards.

Dear Team PICT Model School,

I would like to express a note of sincere gratitude to the entire team of PICT Model School - Respected Director Principal Ma'am, Respected Principal Ma'am,all the Respected Teachers and all the Respected Non-Teaching and Support Staff - for conducting the wonderful ceremony on the occasion of our 75th Independence Day.

The remote learning arrangement during these unprecedented times also gives us parents, and learners' entire family, a unique opportunity to observe and participate in such school events.

We truly appreciate all the effort that went into organizing and successfully conducting such a nice event despite all odds. We applaud your sentiment, spirit and execution.

Thanks and warm regards.

Shilpa and Avinash Agrawal

Respected Team PICT,

Words may seem less but words are all we can use to say Thank you in the current scenario.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks. Saint Ambrose (~337-397), Bishop of Milan.

We, parents of Angad Nanal (G3I) 2020-2021 are reminded of the one question Pampa ma'am had asked us both simultaneously which was 'Why PICT'? during the admission process and today yet again, we have another reason to feel proud, relaxed and accomplished that with the rough roads we have crossed the path of illusion for many.

Pampa ma'am, Manju ma'am, Subha ma'am have always been supportive and encouraging, helping and guiding us towards attaining our goal together as a Team.

The precarious year has gone by and I am happy to mail that Angad has had a communicative and illuminating year with his peers and teachers in all the Online class sessions.

The one cord that struck me as a parent today was that Angad mentioned his happiness at school beginning on 31st, he has got accustomed to the new varied ways and is very excited to meet his Teachers online. His happiness made him clean his cupboard and place his books and arrange stationery with the vigour of a newborn baby kicking for the first time.

This has only been possible with the two-way link shared among us as a school and parent partner.

Subha ma'am's departure and the stepping in of Usha ma'am and Jaimini ma'am has been bittersweet where it has been a wonderful transition and the gap merging happened without any concerns.

Special mention and applause for Pooja ma'am who taught Science in every way that could captivate a 8 to 9 year old child, she was always a step ahead and knew every topic like the back of her hand.

Every teacher, from the class teacher Rama ma'am, Social science teacher Jaya ma'am, Marathi teachers first Madhuri ma'am and then Pratima ma'am, ICT teacher Suprabha ma'am, Math teachers Sheetal ma'am to Yogita ma'am and Science teacher Pooja ma'am never once let a doubt just go by unanswered or always came back with a reasonable explanation. Children who had doubts always stayed back and not once was a child disregarded.

Our Admin staff has been prompt in spite of maybe more work when it comes to the online environment with a very clean crisp smiling attitude and the same can be said for our IT and accounts department. My first-hand experience has been at receiving online help when the system hung up during downloading worksheets and Jaimini ma'am helped me go through the process smoothly which can be tedious when one is doing it online and explaining bit by bit.

Furtados School of Music, Yoga, School vocal music, Bharatnatyam dance introduction to mudras has been a bag of colourful jelly beans and a nice change in the WTRs.

We wish the Library sessions could have been given a few more classes though we enjoyed whatever was in the store and which initiated Angad to begin a book reading club in our society.

There was one really effective session with Rama ma'am during the last test wrapping of the T2 where teacher-guided children to listen to the accurate answers to the questions asked and cleared a few relevant doubts and the remaining 10 minutes were about good thoughts and general letting the children speak their heart out, Rama ma'am beautifully put forth how we all need to gear up for another year of online teaching and children were already missing her as she spoke and she would not be their teacher next year was a thought they prepared for with a heavy heart.

Once again Thank you for all the numerous unrecognized ways school has helped and made it possible for us to express our Gratitude.

We look forward to a solid good next academic year our way with the boost of our Teachers and peers.

Yours Sincerely,
Smita Nanal
Parent of Grade 4 Cygnus

Dear Ma'am and Teachers,

Thank you for all that you have done for our children, and for being their guiding light. We have seen them transform into confident individuals, and a lot of credit for this goes to the wonderful coaching and personal attention provided to them.

Teaching goes much beyond the boundaries of books and knowledge. When our children respectfully call the helping staff as uncle or didi, and appreciate their contributions - we know that the coaching extended to them during school time has contributed to make them better global citizens and cultural ambassadors.

We also acknowledge that the pandemic has posed newer challenges, and admire you for adapting to the new ways of teaching. Guiding a group of enthusiastic kids over an electronic medium is never easy, and that it was achieved oh-so successfully is a testament of your patience and the rehearsals that has gone behind these online sessions.

We wish you and your family the best of health. Thanks again for being there for our kids.
Warm Regards

Respected Director Mam and Principal Mam,

Wishing you in person and all the lovely teachers a very Happy Teachers Day!!

It has been amazing to see the speed at which the teachers have adapted to the new teaching methodology. Awesome indeed, change is the way to life, and the PICT fraternity has been excellent in keeping up the learning pace, in times which were totally unforeseen earlier.

Thanks to the entire team for your relentless efforts!!

Keep going and enjoy your day!!

On the occasion of Teacher's Day, I would like to thank every Teacher and Support staff of PICT School for the commendable work done in this unprecedented time. You have ensured the child's learning isn't impacted by moving to the new Virtual Mode of education at a rapid pace. I am sure this hasn't been very easy and it involved lots of planning, training and learning for teachers, extra hours of work at the expense of personal time to bring an engaging week of learning to the children.

A Teacher plays an important role in molding a child's future. I truly believe teachers are also front line warriors in this COVID fight, as you all are ensuring the future of the country is continuously nurtured and groomed.

Thank You! Stay Safe and Stay Well.

Good evening,
We all would like to thank all the teachers including Manju ma'am and Dr. Pampa ma'am on the occasion of Teachers Day.
Teachers also traditionally known as Guru have always and will always play an extremely important role in every students life, they go out of their way for the sake of their students.
In this COVID 19 situation, the teachers have held many fronts together, being a teacher, a mother, a wife, a daughter and all of this without any house help at home for many months.
We thank all the teachers at the school for their kind support to our children. Thank you very much

Hi Team PICT,
We (both Chaitali and I) parents of Heeya Trivedi (Grade 2 Cygnus), would like to thank the entire PICT team for thoroughly managing the education of all students in the pandemic situation of Covid-19. We really appreciate the complete management starting with planning of course material, online teaching through MS teams, maintaining weekly schedules, preparing educators and the backend team to be on standby for all technical problem solving on such a short span with so much professionalism which has no room for error. We would like to thank all educators for spending quality time with each student, helping them as much as possible and also managing the class discipline to ensure student's success. It has been a wonderful experience for both Heeya as a student and we as parents. We really like to thank the entire PICT team for the same. Please let us know if we as parent partners can do anything for the school and team PICT.

Regards,

Dear Leadership Team,
Wishing you all a very happy Guru Purnima.
On this day, I would like to share my thoughts on the one quality (among many) of our school leadership team that I genuinely admire - Resilience!
Being a parent partner, I can envisage the kind of brickbats, criticisms, skepticism and overall negativity that the leadership team faces on a regular basis. However, I have never "sensed" a dip in the positive energy or a slackening of the dedication/commitment at any given moment in time.
One may argue that the school does get a fair share of plaudits, praises and trust - both silent and vocal - from many quarters. However, given the nature of the human mind to harp on the negativity and take positivity for granted, the ability to bounce back is indeed a formidable feat!
I pray to God; you are given a lot of strength to be able to spread more and more positive energy amongst your learners, educators and your partners!

Thank you for being such exemplary leaders!

It is no ordinary task to be able to "un-learn and re-learn" (@Dr.Chaudhuri, borrowing your words) in order to adapt to the new teaching environment.

Regards
Parent of Grade 4 - PICT Model School

Dear Teachers,
This is regarding online sessions conducted by PICT Model School. Our daughter is attending the same everyday (Rujvi Patil, 2nd INDUS).
We - as parents- are really happy and satisfied about online sessions that are being conducted smoothly every week.
Initially there were hassles/ technical glitches but now it’s becoming easier to manage.
Teachers / educators are putting serious efforts in managing the content for online sessions, also making every session truly interactive (yes, for all the subjects)- this is really appreciable !!
Kids not only learnt to maintain the logbook but are also interested to check (themselves) what topic would be taught in respective classes.

Best wishes for all the good work!!

Best regards,

Dear Teachers and Staff of the PICT Model School,
At the onset, please accept my congratulations for an absolutely seamless transition from real to virtual classrooms. I cannot even fathom the enormous preparations and planning that you all must have done to ensure that our little learners enjoy this new experience.
We are new to PICT. My daughter Avantika joined Grade 1, Orion only this year. As parents we were anxious on the new journey ahead. But we were pleasantly surprised to see the wonderful teachers welcome the little ones and make them their own, even vrtually! For little children, it's so important to hug their teachers and see them in front of their eyes, but the warm smiles that the teacher radiates through the screen have enthralled the little ones. My child already says " Mumma I love my new teachers", she waits for class, wears her uniform with pride and even loved the assessments. All this is kudos to You. It is afterall, the Teacher who brings out the best in her students.
Special mention to Ashwini G Miss, Prachi Miss, Ashwini Survase Miss, Suprabha Miss, Aditi Miss, Sonali Miss and Geetanjali Miss. As women, we have become masters of multitasking, more so with the lockdown and our added responsibilities. That's why a special Kudos to them, it's not easy to do what they do, that too with grace and poise.
We couldn't be happier to be a part of PICT. Thank you so very much for all that you do. Very happy to help as a parent partner wherever you seem appropriate.

Warm Regards,
Kalyani Balashanker
Parent of Grade 1 - Orion

Good morning,
Just wanted to let you know how pleased as a parent I am with the efforts teachers of this class are putting in the online classes. This is an unprecedented situation and we all are dealing with multiple challenges at home and at work. The patience it requires to handle little ones is enormous and the situation only becomes more demanding when everyone is remote . All the teachers have shown immense skills in this area. I have never heard them getting irritated and they handle all their queries with politeness. Connectivity issues ( on both ends ) make their task even more difficult. I have also seen them promoting laughers / lighter moments and making sure kids are engaged and enjoying the new experience. I know online classes are not an ideal way of learning but what you and teachers are doing given the situation deserves a big applause .
Please pass my thanks to the teachers of Meherit's class.
Thanks
Madhumeet Singh
Parent of Grade 4 Indus

Dear Teachers,
Wanted to convey our gratitude to the entire PICT Team who equipped and upskilled themselves to take care of the regular classes for the children.
I can assure you that what you all are doing is incredible and definitely not easy.
Managing and setting up a routine, building up the online classes needs a lot of effort.
I am mesmerized by the way the teachers show their patience and happiness in dealing with the children and confidence in the subject. It's superb !!!
Though the lockdown phase is over, now will be the testing time when people will come out and no. of cases will shoot up. Similar to the situation of Spanish Flew back in 1918, so urge everyone in the PICT Family to stay home and venture out only when necessary. Every life matters.
Once again thank you so much for the amazing job each one of you are doing. Extremely proud of all of you.
Best wishes !!!
Thanks and regards,

Dear Principal Ma’am, There are no words to appreciate someone whose words empower children to chase their dreams. Akshat completes his 4th year in school and we wish to say thank you to everyone for making impact and memorable year of learning. Jimmy Miss, is been truly a great teacher and even better HRT. She has accommodated Akshat’s racing schedule, helped him with missed classes and has always given patient hearing. Akshat has enjoyed going to school largely because of her. We never had any generic issues and or complaints about School. However, whenever we wanted to share anything, Trupti Miss is been our sounding board. She has listened and implemented each and every suggestion, specific to Akshat or to all children in general. We always look forward to meet her and share our thoughts. Principal Ma’am, you have been really kind to spend time on understanding Akshat’s sport and proudly share his achievements in all forums. A big thank you to Director Ma’am for keeping constant watch and tab on Akshat’s progress, both academic and sports. You have build exceptional team of professionals and we are extremely proud of our School. On behalf of Akshat, we promise you more accolades, podiums and trophies this year.

Respected Principal Madam, Coordinator madam, Teachers and PICT School Staff,

Hope you all are doing well. This is a thank you note, particularly for your continuous and very clear weekly communication emails.
Just in case you might be wondering how parent partners might be receiving these emails, we just thought of letting you know that we are truly amazed and impressed with the amount of efforts and pains you have taken to come up with such finely crafted study material and online learning opportunities. There is a plethora of learning resources today and it is so difficult to pinpoint the exact ones delivering strong value add to our children, and you have done a splendid job. Congratulations and thank you once again.
Vidhi (our daughter) is regularly working on weekly worksheets, and also attended the Furtados session as well as the Plezmo workshop. I also sent a thank you note to Ms. Nishigandha at Plezmo, for her energy and for the pains she has taken to explain basic concepts to all children. Vidhi is also intermittently going through Mindspark lessons and quizzes and enjoys Mindspark offerings a lot, all thanks to you!
It is also remarkable that among so many subjects and different learning methods, you have continued to ensure that the total efforts do not exceed a normal work week.
Wishing safety and wellness to all of you and your families.
Regards,
Jay Sheth, Avani Sheth (Vidhi's parents)

Dear Principal Ma'am,
I hope this email finds you well. I am father of Atharv Kaklij (Grade II - Indus). With heavy heart we would like to discontinue Atharv's admission as we are moving back to UK as I am unable to find suitable position as of now. We are feeling very unfortunate that we couldn't continue Atharv's education in PICT Model School. The school is right up to the standards of the best schools in UK. In future, if we decide to come back to India, PICT Model School would be the one we would be looking for. Around one year ago, we decided to move back to India and we settled on PICT Model School as a school for Atharv on recommendations from our friends and family. After one year, we are glad that we decided to choose PICT Model School and very thankful that PICT Model School accepted Atharv as a learner. Over the period of this one year, we have noticed significant growth in Atharv's overall development. He has enjoyed every-bit of his school time from learning academics to learning Yoga, vocal music, visual arts. Beginning of the day with "Aum" ("ॐ") was the best feature we liked as parents. We are also thankful to all the staff members who have taken extra efforts for Atharv. Here we would like to thank to Maushi from Bus route No 21 for greeting the learners with happy face and ensuring safety of the learners. We would also like to thank to his class teacher Amruta Kulkarni Ma'am and other Grade II teachers for helping him to grow. It goes without saying that all the hard-work of teaching and support staff is a real reflection of the school ethos and management team (Director, Principal and Coaches). Special thanks to Subha ma'am for all the help and support she provided from the day we fill the application form and throughout the year. Please pass on our sincere thanks to Director Ma'am as well. We cannot thank you enough for all the help and support you provided and we wish all the best to the School.
Thanks and Regards,
Manish Kaklij

PICT Management.
Good Morning,
We are parents of Dhairya Trivedi, Class 6 Topaz.
We want to take your few moments to share a word of appreciation.
PICT management and Teachers are showing great dedication and putting great efforts to keep learners going with their education. To come up with an idea of online classes using Microsoft Teams is a very wise move on very perfect time.
We also want to acknowledge training PICT has provided each educator to conduct the online classes and the way they are managing learners during the class. PICT also has provided a very neat and accurate timeline along with materials like Handouts and Practice Sheet for learners.
We understand that subjects like Performing and Visual Arts, Physical Education are very challenging to convert into an Online Classes. Teachers are doing an exceptional job to share this knowledge with learners in very interesting ways.
As a result, online classes not only provide education to learners but also setting a very good example regarding how to utilize new edge technologies in a very effective and beneficial way.
We wish you to keep up with innovative ideas in the field of education and stay safe.
Thanks and Regards,
Gayatri and Samip Trivedi.

Hi,
“To complain, many gather but just a handful to appreciate!” This is to extend our sincere thanks to all the efforts put in by each one of your staff. It was overwhelming to see so many curious minds at work yesterday. Truly showed the amazing hard work put in by the teachers. The staff really was on their toes helping out each and every kid and also greeting us with a smile. Managing an institution which has delivered the best by taking our feedback each time and also improvised on many things ain’t an easy job. I truly appreciate all your work and am grateful. I also understand how it might feel to bear the brickbats from differently thinking individuals but the number to support you all is way more than that! Each experience makes us feel happier to be associated with PICT Model School.

Hello Mam,
My ward Devansh Waghmare is in Grade 2 Pegasus. I am writing to express my sincere thanks to all the teachers and support staff members of PICT Model School, for the Grand Science Mela. We are so impressed to see such curiosity, creativity, intelligence and knowledge of all young minds. We can see how much effort, encouragement and support is given to each child of the school. The kids were so enthusiastic and confident to present their projects and were well aware of the subject. I am very pleased to see the progress of my ward over these two years. A huge thank you to the teachers for all the hard work and guidance. My best wishes to PICT Model School for future endeavours!

Hello Madam,
This email is a note of thanks to the school for conducting the science mela. It was a grand success! The 8th grade kids did an amazing job and explained the concepts with expertise. While the little 1st graders and 2nd graders held their fort with confidence. I must say it was a little tough for them to stand in the sun but they didn't wilt. They showed everyone that they can withstand many things. More than anything such events give the kids exposure to speaking and presenting themselves before others.

Dear Madam,
We could not write our feedback in the register at the Science Mela as there was a long queue ahead of us at the feedback desk, hence sending over email. The Science Mela was an absolute pleasure to attend. The complexity of the topics, the quality of the models, and the enthusiasm with which the children were presenting were all very heart- warming. Thanks to the school for all the efforts you took to make this event happen. We were especially impressed with the clarity of concepts that higher grade children exhibited. It will make us proud to see our daughter growing up to be like the older children we saw there who were confidently presenting their complex topics and innovative models.

Respected Team PICT,
As our Diwali vacation comes to an end, we would like to applaud the entire Team for a wonderful term 1 for Grade 2 section. It has been fantastic growth in all aspects and to name a few vital ones from introduction to E tech solutions, new cafeteria facilities,introduction to 'Anapana', the creative angle in 'Indradhanush' which gave children an unique experience, parents given an opportunity to view the periodic test 1 answer papers and mention their comments as a feedback,availing nestling hourly services during PTM, market day which was an absolute delight with extreme hard work from all and many more that were the high lights of change being the only constant thing. I had the pleasure of meeting Pampa ma'am after a very long gap when I visited school for meeting with other subject teachers and it felt as warm as the first day that we met her for admission. For a parent to have a free mind where all concerns are addressed correctly is necessary and it has been always done very well the entire time throughout the term which makes it stress free and a feeling of positivism that passes all along. Looking forward to new ideas like Bricsmath,inter school art festival,grade 2 preparedness for next year transition, HOTS learning from term 2 and many others to come along the coming term. Thank you for giving us a concrete platform of integrated approach towards learning.

Respected Pampa Mam, Manju Mam,
We, parents of Sai Vedant Grade 2 Indus, are delighted to let you know that Vedant won this year's competition in the Grade 1 & 2 category. Chinmaya Mission had announced the final round's result on their website. Mam, last year when we put little Vedant in your hands, you promised us a holistic development of the child. True to your promise, we do see his growth not just in academics, but in many areas like speaking skills, presentation skills etc. We believe all these aspects collectively have helped Vedant achieve today. We are grateful to you for having introduced us to this competition. Looking forward to more enriching learning experiences.

Hi, My daughter missed school for nearly 2 weeks in June due to an unplanned knee surgery she underwent. Just when the school started. Wasn't an easy thing for our daughter to resume and get comfortable at any place apart from her home. We also were in two minds before asking her to resume. But the day I met Ms Subha and discussed everything, I was assured that we needn’t have any doubts in mind. Day 1 of school - my daughter had a warm welcome by Ms. Subha and a female attendant who escorted her till the class. Every teacher was informed beforehand and each one took great care. Kaavya was more than happy when she returned home. No pressure on her was put to cope up,complete her work etc. rather, every soul in PICT Model School encouraged her at every step.It does mean a lot! She is still in the recovery phase but happy and stress free to attend school. I am sure the care will continue. A big heartfelt thanks to everyone at Pict Model School !!

Respected Mam, Thank you so much for involving us parents also in your yoga day celebrations.The ancient art of Yogasana performed by Grade-8 and Grade-6 learners was simply awesome. We really appreciate the amount of efforts the teachers along with the children would have taken to make the event so successful. We feel blessed that our kids are part of such an institution where along with studies equal attention is paid towards such activities for their overall well-being.

Dear Respected Director Principal Ma'am, New beginnings are on the neave (rock solid foundation) of a fantastic ending. As our new academic year restarts in June 2019, we would like to sincerely Thank you and the entire staff of PICT Model School who have given us the constant reassurance and pride of selecting a wonderful institution for our child. Grade 1 has been a complete new page in our lives with learning at each stage imbibing character of a more focused and responsible student in our son - Angad Nanal. Angad began having his own opinions and learnt to discuss how he thought about different topics ranging from class room lessons to extra curricular activities. A special mention for Ms Shruti Hirawat teacher ,Ms Richa Awasthi teacher and Ms Asha Nitish teacher who have been Grade 1 Orion class teachers for the academic year of 2018-2019. They were all exceptional role models and we got to see a new confidence surface in Angad as the months went by. Not one assessment paper was missed by them as we received each paper timely thus enabling us to understand and believe in the consistent learning and philosophy of our school. Thank you to Ms Neeta Dalvi teacher as she encouraged Angad to understand and like what he learnt in Marathi language. Marathi is our mother tongue and being fluent in speaking and understanding the language was easy however learning to write in the Marathi script took an entire 1st term after which there was no looking back in how much Angad began enjoying the given assessment papers, poems and conversations in class time. We, at home did not begin any lessons of our own as exploring through the eyes of a classroom is our belief. Our Performing Arts section comprising of Ms Akshaya teacher ,Ms Apurva teacher ,Ms Aditi teacher gave us an innovative concept to dwell on in the form of 'Gaana Tirangi', a musical experience through the pages of various songs in many languages. Ms Rajshree Nirphale, our Visual Arts teacher was another important helping hand who taught Angad how wonderful symmetrical drawing can be, this is one feature he remembers most of her classes. The world of yoga and gymnastics was an extra curricular activity enjoyed by Angad. Our Sports teacher,Ms Sridevi Jagdale has always been encouraging. Ms Anagha Gorhe teacher introduced Computers and it has been a strong field of interest all through the year. Library rules and respect for books is another head start that we at home too inculcate and it was more of an extended team member with Ms Monica Saha teacher who shared the same views as us. Our maushis and security staff have always been polite and helpful which has been a good experience specially when Angad has been hurt and we got all the necessary support from the gate till the class room. A very close Thank you to all the staff members who always replied to our mails from the accounts section or Ms Aishwarya ma'am who resolved any parent portal issues and our very own first point of contact Ms Usha Thapa ma'am and Ms Subha Rameshkumar ma'am who are ever ready to find answers and let us know to any queries. Cafeteria food has been healthy, innovative,fresh and warm and we are glad to opt for it this year too. We have enjoyed the idea of 'Travelogue' introduced by Ms Manju Surendran ma'am and have had great fun in living 'the fun' we visualized when the concept came to us by school mail. We are enjoying our ongoing vacations and look forward to another year with you and our PICT team. Thanking you.

"At the end of the academic year 2018-2019, I , parent of Suhani Iyer, Grade 3 Cygnus would like to take this opportunity to appreciate PICT Model school for all efforts taken educators and Principal Madam. Last year I have taken admission for my daughter in the school and can definitely mention I can see remarkable change in her. She now takes responsibilities for her own studies and practice work. She has become completely independent. Also would like to appreciate reciprocal method of revising the portion before exams that definately helps kids to become more responsible and develop confidence in them. This is also helping parent to relieve exam pressure, if any. I really thank all staff members, educators and Principal for taking care of each and every aspect required in the school. I am very Happy that I took decision to change school for my daughter and take admission in PICT Model school."

Dear Ma'am, My son 'Hitesh Khetarpal' studies in Junior KG-BlueBells and would like to thank the PICT staff (the Principal, teachers - Ms. Bharati, Ms. Priyanka and all Maushis) for putting in constant efforts towards the development of Hitesh. I can actually see a major development in him - be it his liking for going to school, be it listening to my instructions, be it talking about his favorite teachers (Ms. Bharati and Ms.Priyanka), be it his interpersonal skills, be it talking about new concepts being introduced or the vocab he is using at home (offcourse learning from his teachers). I would really like to thank all of you for making Hitesh believe in himself and taking him to the next level. Thank you.

Hi, I maybe a bit late in sending this email across but trust me it still has the same intensity with which I wanted to thank each and every one of you who contributed to the wonderful concert on the 22nd of December,2018. I was glued to each performance of every little kid and couldn’t stop feeling proud of the discipline everyone followed on stage and off stage.The credit goes to the principal madam,teachers and the entire staff who taught them all of it. We are really happy to be associated with you all and have deep trust in every soul contributing towards making our kids confident and disciplined! Thank you so much!!

Respected Ma'am, Thanks for your kind note, I am delighted to receive the same. Firstly, many thanks for the opportunity in conducting this workshop where I tried to show the Digital evolution towards betterment of our society. It gave me immense pleasure to conduct the session for our learners and will look forward to share the knowledge. As the famous quote states, "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think" - Socrates. Appreciate the level of details covered in your note and student's well-articulated blog, it fulfills the very purpose of connecting with learners, imparting right knowledge and ignite positive thinking. Perhaps, I got equally astounded with the enthusiasm, curiosity & intellect exhibited by the learners. The questions raised and inquisitiveness is inspiring and commendable. Even, upon arrival the initial briefing and setup was quite well taken care by Ms. Trupti, Ms. Sophia and supporting staff. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the open and insightful discussion with you over the coffee. Needless to mention, that the PICT family is nurturing & transforming with your initiatives and leadership. Hence, I too can vouch to reaffirm 'Yes, the future is exciting'. Best wishes for all your efforts in this year. I will be glad to help and support PICT family in any ways. Thank you once again.

Dear Principal Mam, This email is to wish congratulations to the winning team of grade 2 and grade 3 of PICT model school who picked up the SHAPE Super Cup 2018 Inter School Football Cup. It was creditable to see how the coaches miss Sridevi and Sajid Sir have groomed the tiny kids of our school so well.Hats off to their training skills.It was such a pleasure to see them keep calm during the matches and guide our players. Not to forget parents of PICT model school who came to cheer our teams.Also commendable to see grand mothers of Shibani Gupte and Rushil Chati to be there at the grounds to cheer our teams! I want to say that the kids showed immense stamina when they played their finals at 10pm . Also thanks to admin mam to be present at the venue . Lastly I would like to congratulate Master Rushil Chati and Master Ranvir Patil of grade 2 and grade 3 respectively to pick up the trophy for best players. Wonderful strategy and training has been given to the PICT model school football team by our coaches. Sharing a few snaps with you.

Respected madam, I am extremely grateful to the entire team of PICT to give me an opportunity to interact with the tiny tots of Pre Primary Section today at PICT Model School. It gave me immense pleasure and helped me see myself through the eyes of young ones. It was indeed a pleasure to see them bombarding me with questions which I believe is due to their exposure they are getting in PICT. The ignition is already on... soon they will imagine and innovate....This is the message which I got at the end of the session. Will be more than happy to be of any help to conduct sessions and interactions to the best of my knowledge in future too. My daughter was equally excited to know about the session and was constantly asking me about how the tiny tots reacted to seeing a doctor in classroom. So we both mother and daughter were equally excited. Thanks to Dr. Pampa Ma'am for considering me for this session. Special mention to Trupti Ma'am and all the teachers and staff of Sr.Kg who had helped me in all possible ways.

Dear Ma'am, I would like to share our great experience with PICT Model school for our twins Samar and Kiara Gupta studying in Nursery Frangipani. Please pass on the thanks to everyone mentioned in the mail. Dear Dr. Pampa Chaudhuri Ma’am and the entire School Staff of PICT Model School, I cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful care and love shown to our twins: Samar and Kiara Gupta studying in Nursery. I would like to specifically thank Mitranjali Miss and Clarett Miss for the fabulous job they have been doing with such tiny tots. They are playing the role of children’s mother, friend and guide when the children are away from home and making sure they are well cared of. I would also like to share that my twins have learnt our National Anthem (Jana Gana Mana) in such a short span of time (5 weeks) and it is amazing to hear them sing it. They sing the anthem full day and enjoy doing so. Whoever has heard them sing are so pleasantly surprised and it is making me feel so proud. They are learning new things each day and talk about it excitedly when they come home. Our twins look forward to the Friday Happy hour when something special is arranged for them (we too look forward to it). I would like to appreciate the security staff at the gates and helping staff of ladies who ensure that our children are picked and dropped with utmost care and love. It was never so quick, simple and easy to drop and pick children from the school. Finally, I would like to say that choosing PICT Model school was a great decision and I am very happy and confident about it.

Respected Dr. Pampa Chaudhuri Madam and the entire School Staff, Can’t believe it’s already one year that Sanvi and Trisha are at PICT Model school and now have completed 1 month of their academic year as well. I can’t thank you all enough for making such a wonderful learning experience in the first year of the school. Having come from US, and never attended any school in India before, we and the girls were very anxious. But believe me, in no time the girls not only got comfortable but started enjoying the school-may it be studies, sports, programs, functions or numerous fun activities at school. They always used to be back home with all the smiles. Adjusting to a different studying style and environment was another challenge(which we had thought earlier), but thanks to all the teachers, honestly it never got challenging. The girls studied everything on their own, with the help of the teachers ONLY. It never became a burden for them even during the exam time. And the results proved it all, they both passed with flying colors. (We were or will never be overly worried/concerned about the marks though, the girls being happy and enjoying their school is all that matters to us.) The true testimonial came in when we heard the girls telling their friends back in US that we have less Home work here than in US, who used to question them with obvious curiosity "You must be having lot of studies and home work there right???" One more aspect worth mentioning is that, I have never seen more passionate teachers for the extra-curricular activities at school. May it be Art, Dance or Sports teachers, they are equally dedicated and motivating as that of the Academic teachers. It's great to see a perfect blend of work/studies and play. This will not only help in the learners overall development but will make them well-equipped for tomorrow to face the outside world with self-reliance and confidence. Not to forget the nutritious and delicious meals that are served in the cafeteria. The girls simply love the variety of food that is offered without realizing that its in-turn a perfect balanced diet. Again I appreciate and thank Dr. Pampa Chaudhuri, Ms. Shilpa, Ms. Shruti and Ms. Payal and the entire school staff for laying a strong foundation to their academic stint and having a seamless transition to a new chapter in their life. Looking forward to the wonderful years at PICT ahead!!

Respected Ma'am, Thank you for these wonderful 3 weeks and 1 more to go, from us. Special mention of appreciation for the security staff at the gates and the helping staff of ladies who are extremely vigilant and caring. Morning drops are relatively easier and pickups are getting better with the security staff of gentlemen and helping staff of ladies always alert and without wasting any time helping to get each child either to the car or the parent waiting in line. Usha ma'am ever smiling and trying her best to answer any questions her way, I think it was very thoughtful of Shubha ma'am to return my call when she said she would call me back. I wish I had got the names of the security n helping staff to mention but they are so focused whenever I have seen them that I have not asked them their names but a Thank you every time or a good morning hopefully makes them feel as nice as they make us feel. Thank you again, we are very secured and leave for our vacation with smiling faces

Heartiest Congratulations to Ms.Sophia Rasundram, Ms.Nivita Michael and Ms.Anupama Nair on having qualified as Speaking Skills Examiner from Cambridge. Also, congratulations to PICT Model School for being chosen as the venue for the first Cambridge English Examiners - orientation programme. I am sure it must have been a great experience. I am happy to share with you that my son, Aadit Munje, VI Emerald, has now settled in the new school environment. I am happy to see the changes in him with respect to his studying style. Even though he is very independent in all other things, when it came to studies he was inclined to do it ONLY with me or his dad. However, now he tells me that he would like to do his homework by himself and I should only guide him where ever necessary. He also discusses at length about the things being taught in school, his teachers, old and new friends, group activities, group discussions etc. Although he still misses his friends at INS, he is now happy to be at PICT. Sincere thanks to the PICT Team! Looking forward to a great year ahead!

Respected ma'am, It was indeed a great pleasure throughout the academic year 2017-2018. As a parent I would definitely say that PICT Model School has delivered all that has been promised during the time of admission(maybe even more). My daughter also has only sweet memories of her grade 1 journey at PICT School. From assessment papers to happy hours, PICT has given both the child and the parent a unique and new experience which as a child probably I never got. With less academic pressure but more exposure, and excellent infrastructure, PICT School has created its own uniqueness in the field of education. There is no doubt that PICT Model school will be among one of the best schools in near future. The school has always been receptive to the parents' concern throughout the year, and I definitely understand how difficult it is to implement so many requests and changes. But yet the school has tried its best. I would definitely like to mention the commendable job done by respected principal madam at this point. With a smile on her face she has always addressed the kids as well as parents, responding to our mails even on Sunday's! I am sure PICT can touch heights under her guidance and leadership. Hope that we have a wonderful journey in coming years too.

Dear Principal M'aam, Thanks for the memorable year at the School. We and Swarali (Grade 1) have enjoyed it and really look forward to another exciting year. Also, a big thumbs up for the assessment papers throughout the year. The Papers have been so outstanding in terms of application of the mind. The questions sometimes make me think as well, something which I didn't do in my schooling days. Me and my husband are both happy to see the assessment papers. I understand sometimes learners lose marks because of the tricky questions, but that really doesn't matter to me as long as Swarali applies the knowledge she gains. I have had only positive things to say about the school since we met you last year. Thank you!!!!! Look forward to another year !!!!!!

Dear Principal Ma'am, Hello, I am sharing few snaps of the Space Exhibition at Shivaji English School, Saswad; Where our child Mandar Kolhatkar(Grade 3, Orion) represented our School as a volunteer to explain exhibits namely, Cassini Spacecraft to Saturn which also included Huygen Probe to Titan. He was the youngest volunteer to share this responsibilty with students from other schools who were from higher secondary grades. We sincerely thank you for your strong support in helping us to develop Mandar's co-curricular and extra-curricular interests.

We are happy to receive your warm Welcome and would like to take this opportunity to include special thank you to every one who made our child feel comfortable and safe just like his current pre school. Thank you Pranjal ma'am as when I had visited PICT 2 years back you were as informative as when we met you in August 2017. Most of our questions were answered by the website and rest by You so it was really assuring. Usha ma'am you were our point of contact via phone and always courteous, the admin department is the main crux of a good establishment so you gained our trust by correct information always. We met a few teachers yesterday who unknowingly were observed by my son as he was trying to search a comfort zone with them. Music teacher Ms.Akshaya, Shilpa teacher, Trupti teacher each one was very informative and open to any new questions asked. My son saw the school for the first time and enjoyed the tour given and explained by our music teacher. Trupti teacher came back with the refund information so that all parents were made aware thereby showing transparency. Shilpa teacher explained all the fundamentals of academics crystal clear. Thank you to the maushis from support staff who escorted us to the washrooms as we were still wondering which corner turns where in the magnificent spacious building. Rajoshree teacher thank you for offering warm food which was so necessary for the children and us too. It gave my husband and me an instant feeling of good simple clean food and we requested our form back to place a tick mark on food from school section. Lastly, it was a pleasure meeting Principal ma'am for us where we enjoyed our interaction which was more like an exchange of ideas, goals towards a better future with PICT Model school and its entire team for years to come.

It was indeed a great pleasure to attend the Grand Parents day at my grandson Rushil's school on 18th July 2017. A well structure and organized programme was performed so meticulously by the young ones, appropriately themed for the occasion brought a greater delight to us and all the grandparents . Needless to say that the credit goes to the Principal mam ,teachers and the Staff for their innovative way, instilling the cultural values among their students. Impressed with the infrastructure already in place what is undergoing,one can visualize the focus laid on the foundation of all round development of the budding minds of the little ones! Thank you for this wonderful event!

Please accept our deep gratitude for the superbly conducted grandparents day yesterday. Shibani' grandparents were in awe of the school and the faculty and were all gaga over the highly efficient management of the event. It sure was a special moment for all her grandparents to have been invited to their granddaughter' school which has a "huge campus, classy and efficient classrooms, super library, so many computer...and above all the courteous teachers and the staff" (verbatim grandparents). As parents, our sincerely and heartfelt thanks to all the teachers, principal, helpers, other staff, all others who took efforts and our 'citizens of the future', to have arranged this event which (am sure) will be cherished by the grandparents. Needless to mention all grandparents must be looking forward for another opportunity to be 'back to school'. Congratulations and thank you to all.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING RISHABH'S PICTURES. It gave us an insight about his activities at the day care. As parents, it was very comforting. We both are really happy with his overall development as a toddler. He has started conversing in English now, enjoys drawing and painting too at home. Great work by all of you. Keep it up!

" We are glad with the ease and comfort which our child feels at the school.. we were sceptical as how Pavit would adjust to this environment but he readily absorbed it as his routine. He is a happy kid when he has to go to school . He looks forward to each new day. He loves his school and we are happy we took the decision of enrolling him to PICT MODEL SCHOOL.. We thank you mam for such a good atmosphere that our child is in and all the teachers, staff members, administrative staff and the support staff who are taking such good care of our kids away from home. Apart from this the safety that is maintained by the bus transportation staff is commendable. The staff and the teachers do not hand over the kid without the Escort Cards even to us parents. we believe completely that our children are in safe hands. Looking forward to the session from June. Thanks "

" It was great experience while we visit PICT Model School First time. I appreciate your response during admission process and all details have explained to us with transparency. Overall it's great experience.... In just 2 weeks, My both sons Shanay and Shaarav are very happy with PICT school because they are learning lot of new things with well-designed curriculum focusing on practical examples mixed with fun activities making the learning at PICT very interesting. "

" When the school started, we were little anxious for Aaravya settling down in a completely new environment. But to our surprise these 4 weeks went completely smooth and this transitions was too comfortable, not as expected from him. But everyday when we saw him returning all happy and excited we were happy too. This mail is in reference to all the sincere efforts taken by the entire team of PICT in settling the kids and there anxious parents too. We would like to thank you all for these brilliant four weeks of excitement, fun and encouragement. We all are looking forward to the fun filled summer holidays and a new session to begin with. "

As stated earlier as well in my mails to Pampa Ma'am, the question papers are really very challenging and application based. We really like the way some questions are framed. For both of us, marks are not really significant. It is the concept learning and its application that is important. We were very pleased to see that Swarali knew most of the concepts well in all her subjects. Thanks to all her educators for their efforts. Also, we both are really happy with the progress Swarali has made in her Second Language Marathi. A big thank you to Miss Madhuri for her efforts. We see a huge progress in Swarali as regards her reading and writing skills in Marathi.

In the beginning of this academic year, you had requested us (parents) for our feedback regarding the "Anapana" practice. After almost 4 months, I felt the need to share my observations. Firstly, my deepest gratitude for introducing the concept to the young minds. I sincerely feel that, this is the need of the hour! Being an adult, witnessing and experiencing this fast paced and over-stimulated world around us, I can’t agree more that practices which calm the mind are an absolute necessity! I read a lot of articles about the practice and the benefits are numerous - physical, mental and emotional. I would like to narrate two incidents, which will speak for themselves about the effect of "Anapana" practice in our lives. We had been to a restaurant last month for breakfast on one of the weekends. It was taking a little longer than usual for the food to be served and my children were getting very restless. Restlessness in very young kids (1-4 years of age) is pardonable but it’s not taken kindly in 8-year olds! I was trying to engage my son (8 years old), when I came up with this idea to do "Anapana" practice out there. So we sat still and did the entire practice (with my son giving the instructions and following it). This brought about calmness in the scene and positivity too! A few weeks back, I was feeling completely stressed out at the end of the day and was "losing" it (if I may use the slang). I dropped all my work and went to my son's room. I sat down in front of him and requested him to instruct me for the "Anapana" practice. He readily agreed. It was indeed calming and I felt better. He felt good too that he could help calm me down. The objective of asking him instruct me was to show him that if practiced in situations (other than school) it will help calm him down. I don’t think I need to elaborate any more. Thanks once again!

Dear Team PICT,
Many wonders watched is what I experienced on Saturday, 25th January 2020 at the PICT Science Mela.
Every grade had different topics and an advancement in topics were similar depending on each grade's strength.
The fact that the entire event was on one level and one entry with one exit made it easier to access and view the presentations in glory.
The amazing human mind of children could read their charts from anaerial view which was like reading from a reflection, children knew answers to questions asked, confidence brimming up high and each child enjoying the presence of parents and friends all around.
It was a truly delightful experience to watch the levels of interest that team PICT must have worked on with the sections rising from rockets and different transports of grade 1, Islands, Deserts, Mountains, Ocean of grade 2, fabrics and cultural significance, 2 D, 3 D math projects of grades3 and 4, how to know a place by grids on a map of grade 5, a cap to help blind people cross over and recycle plastic machine of grades 6 and 7,oscillation, pendulum, the use of Lego pieces wired so artistically and sounds personified in grade 8 to name a few that have stayed in my mind.
Teachers appreciate your efforts as you watched over children and encouraged them, stood in the sun with children and reminded them tohave some water.
Well spent morning indeed

Dear Mam,
I would like to give my feedback on Science Mela held on 25th Jan 2019.
We were happy to see the budding scientist side of the kids. The topic chosen were one among the daily challenges that we face whether it was about plastic, or no parking zone, or water purification, or generating electricity. It was impressive to see the learners providing the solution and they very well explained it also, which indicated that they had really worked on the topic.
At the same time, I would not like to miss the projects done by Class 1 and2 students. The basic concepts that they have demonstrated through the models indicated that with what ease they had learnt that topic.
A very big thanks to the teachers and school who have made learning anexperience to the learners.

Dear Madam,
I am extremely impressed and satisfied with the 3 events that took place recently this month:
1. Science Mela was excellent where teachers had groomed the children very well and the experiments helped the kids to understand the concepts better. As parents, we loved this event.
2. The annual day ‘Tatva’ performance of 1st Feb 4:30 - 6:30pm: It was so beautifully designed, each and every performance was so well carved to communicate the essence of good schooling. The song "Na Kato Mujhe Dukhta Hai" brought tears to our eyes, at the same time the beautiful Bharatanatyam dancers awed us with their dance, the school song was so warm welcome and complete event was so timely and perfectly executed.
3. The school trip was very well executed and educational too. We loved the way school trip report was asked to be submitted for this educational trip. The questions were thought provoking at the same time linked to their syllabus. What better way to teach the kids with live examples? Hats off to teachers for thinking out of the box.
All in all we want to thank the school for:
1. Strong teacher, student and parent discipline. Please don't compromise it as this discipline is a foundation for life.
2. Importance to punctuality.
3. Tireless efforts to make students independent.
Please keep up the right attitude and focus. You are 100% on right track and only these principles can lead a school to success.
Finally proud of you all. Keep going. God bless the teachers, staff, students, kakas and maushis and our dear principals.

Dear Ma’am

Good Wishes!!

First and foremost sorry for the delayed mail .We have reached Canada and took a few days to feel at ease here.

I wanted to write this email for the teachers of my child Aradhana Pendharkar.We have taken a break to encash the opportunity Aradhanas father has on-site but with a heavy heart as Aradhana misses her school dearly here.

We wanted to extend our sincere gratitude and love to all the teachers of PICT who have been associated with Aradhana since Nursery . Aditi miss, Vandana miss , Smita miss , Kanchan miss , Monica miss and Rajmeet miss and her current Grade One teachers , each and everyone of you have left a positive impact on Aradhana’s developing personality and she remembers and cherishes all the lovely moments with each one of you dear teachers. All of you have been incredible in each and every way . I want you all to know the efforts you all put in are extremely respected , admired and appreciated by parents like us. We are obliged and grateful eternally for your efforts and strength for our children. Nothing in this world can match a teacher’s vigour and passion to make a child’s life better.

Teachers are second mothers and for Aradhana it is 100 % true . For her school means PICT, because for children school means teacher and teachers means you all for us.

Words do fall short when we try to express our deep feelings and the same is the case with me. My child has been extremely lucky to have each one of you as her mentor and you all have become the love of life now, the inseparable personalities which she will always carry with her .

A great thank you to the Nestling Head and Principal Ma’am for great support and assurance for the future . Thank you so much Usha ma’am for your lovely warmth and impromptu responses. Also, it is just a break for a year or two, Aradhana should be back with her original love PICT for academic session 2023-2024 .

And , my biggest expression of fondness , respect and love for Pampa ma’am, for me you mean the definition of Education Ma’am and I am fortunate to have my daughter and for sure my second one on the way to be under your wings .

See you soon . Have great health and year ahead.

Your faithfully
Mohini Pendharkar

Dear PICT team,

This mail is due for a while but as they say it is never too late.

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank the entire PICT team for the wonderful job they are doing in making sure that our kids grow up as fine human beings. Special thanks to 9th grade teachers, be it the calm demeanour of Veda Ma’am or Dhiman Sir who is always prompting kids to ask enough questions and “why” everything. My apologies as I am not able to put all the names but our sincere thanks to all the teachers.

As new parent partners in the new school, despite the excellent reputation of the school, we had our share of apprehensions. After the first couple of months, we can very confidently say that this school is one the best(if not the best).

Right from the security to “maushi’s” and “kaka’s”, all the support staff, teachers and the best parent relationships team(I know I keep calling for various queries but you are always helpful). And all this is not possible without able guidance and leadership-by-example as displayed by Principal and Director-Principal.

Please do pass on our thanks to the entire team and I am sure that this experience will only move upwards.

To the new north.

Best Regards,

Mayank and Ruchi Dwivedi
Proud parent partners

Respected Pampa Ma'am, Abira Ma'am and all the faculties of PICT Model School

We, parents of Sachit Pattanaik, are extremely proud of his class 12th results where he secured 84.6% and was also a merit holder.
Sachit has shown remarkable progress from his previous CBSE class 10th result and this would not have been possible without the dedication, support, and guidance of all his teachers. Our heartfelt gratitude to each one of them. The personalized attention, constant follow up, constructive feedback during PTMs, understanding his limitations and helping him overcome, all put together, made him a confident individual.

Pampa Ma’am, thanks to you for your visionary leadership which has created an environment where students are encouraged to strive for excellence.

Abira Ma’am, your steadfast guidance and commitment to maintaining high educational standards have been instrumental in shaping Sachit's academic journey. Your continuous inspiring words and faith in Sachit has made him a confident individual. Your emphasis on holistic development has ensured that not only should he excel academically but also has made him aware about his health, values of integrity, respecting others and perseverance.

The collaborative effort of the entire school has undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping his character and future. We are proud to be a part of the PICT Model School family and will cherish all the memories which we had with PICT for the last 5 years.

Dear Madam,

As this academic year is coming to an end, I, Mirayah Venkat's mother, would like to express my gratitude to all her teachers, helpers and the other respected staff members at PICT Nestling.

I would like to begin, by saying a big thank you to Miss Shaoli Niyogi, for setting such an amazing example for all the learners. Mirayah tells me how you conduct yourself, talk and also tells me everything about her interaction with you. She tries to walk and talk like you, when she is at home because she admires you. I am saying this very honestly and not out of flattery. You have taught all the learners so well and I am sure they will carry these good learnings from you, as they would venture into Grade 1 very soon.

During the Covid 19 pandemic, we, just like most the other parents, were extremely worried about Mirayah's schooling, how she would adapt to a new environment away from home, new teachers, friends and all the other members in school. I clearly remember, on the first day of school, she was extremely scared of being 'unsafe' at any place other than home. The pandemic caused a lot of fear and a sense of insecurity within the minds of young children, like Mirayah. With the love and support showered upon her by her amazing teachers, Miss Yogita, Miss Rajmeet and Miss Aditi, she immediately started loving school. She looks forward to a new school day, every day. I would like to highlight how much she talks about her dearest teachers all day. She tells me all the conversations and fun she has with her teachers. She loves you all so much, I am actually short of words to express the same. Her day begins and ends with the stories of her teachers and friends. Thank you dear Yogita Miss, Rajmeet Miss and Aditi Miss for teaching our little girl to read and write so well, count numbers and learn important life skills from you. You have taught her very well and made her ready for the next step. We, her parents, really appreciate your patience and efforts of making the learners understand each concept so well. You have made learning a fun process which is why Mirayah loves to attend school so much. You, as her teachers, make sure she feels safe and comfortable in her classroom, cafeteria and other places in the campus. I also admire how the teachers and helpers take care of the learners while they eat at the cafeteria.


During the PTM, Mirayah's mother teachers, answer all our queries politely and are so responsive and helpful to us. All of you are extremely sweet, dedicated and nice teachers and we too enjoy our interaction with you all when we visit the campus. We will surely miss seeing your cheerful faces during the Nestling parent pick up when Grade 1 begins.

Mirayah is very sad to leave behind her senior kg bluebell classroom and will miss her dear Yogita Miss, Rajmeet Miss and Aditi Miss very very much. She is very sensitive and gets sad when she thinks of her classroom without her known teachers. We are getting her prepared and excited for Grade 1 and everything new that comes with it.

The parent orientation conducted by Miss Shaoli was really great and helped us understand all the information about Grade 1. We are sure Mirayah will learn to enjoy Grade 1 at PICT Model School. Last but not the least, a big thank you to all the Maushis and helpers at school for helping out Mirayah at every step. She tells us how polite and sweet they all are.

We appreciate everything that the school has to offer to the learners, and hope to continue this warm parent-teacher and parent-school relationship for many years to come.

Thank you once again from Mirayah and us, her parents, for everything you have done for her at PICT Nestling.

Warm Regards
Chaitrali Sardesai Venkat Shashank Venkat

Respected Pampa Ma'am, Manju Ma'am & Shubha Ma'am,
It's been two and a half years since our Daughter Miss. Shubhangi Das is a part of your prestigious institute and as a Parent Partner, we too are happy to be a part of the same. The recent email that we have received had a wonderful saying about " Alice in Wonderland ". Even we wish the same however, in reality, we can only pray and adapt to the new normal way of life.

Last couple of months, we have been closely monitoring and supporting our child's online classes as it's a new experience for her all together. We have noticed the way Educators are explaining the lessons and making it a point to ensure that all the learners are able to understand. The online assessment was very well conducted and executed. We appreciate the effort and patience of the Educators. During this lockdown, PICT and its Management is trying all possible ways to provide adequate study materials and taking regular online classes for the learners so they are not lacking behind. Yoga, VA, PA, VM and HRT are also integral part of their regular studies.

We are fortunate to be a part of PICT School and would like to say BIG THANKS to all Educators, Staff Members and Support Staff who are involved in creating and delivering such a wonderful experience for the learners.
We wish all the best for its future endeavours.

With regards,
Aloka & Subrata
Parents of Grade 5 Indus

Respected Ma'am,

Our child, Anaya Dwivedi, is in Nursery Zinnia. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the superb efforts of both class teachers, Janavi Ma'am and Smruti Ma'am.

Anaya is a child who is very particular about small things and takes time to adjust. She was given the space she needed to feel comfortable, and now she is extremely happy to go to school every day.

To sum it up in Anaya’s own words: "Meri teachers bahut acchi," which means everything to us. As parents, hearing this means a lot.

Additionally, the weekly communications are always clear and concise, making it easy to track and follow the progress.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the teachers and staff for their dedicated efforts.

Thank you,

Megha and Deepak

Respected Principal Madam,

This is regarding Nachiket's performance in the CBSE Grade 10 Board examination.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all his teachers, you and Pampa Madam for all the help and support that was extended.

We have always felt that he has got the best academic atmosphere from the day he joined PICT in 6th grade.

We genuinely believe that the guidance and opportunities Nachiket got in PICT has helped him to achieve this performance of his.

Thanks and Regards

Nachiket's parents

Dear Principal ma'am,
Greetings!

We hope this email finds you well. We are writing to express our deep gratitude to you and the teachers who have taught Tejal Joshi ( XII Commerce) during academic year just concluded. We are very happy that Tejal scored beyond our expectations in her board exams, and we firmly believe that this remarkable achievement is due to the consistent hard work, discipline and dedication of the school's administration and teachers.

The guidance, support, and encouragement provided by all teachers have been instrumental in shaping her academic success. It is truly heartwarming to see how the teachers have gone above and beyond to ensure that each student reaches their full potential. Their unwavering commitment to excellence and their genuine care for the students have made a significant difference in Tejal's results.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and all the teachers. Our special thanks to Tejal's class teacher Dilraj ma'am for her personal attention and instilling confidence in Tejal.

Thank you once again for your outstanding efforts and for making this academic year a memorable and successful one for Tejal. Wishing PICT school astounding success ahead!!!

Warm regards,

Dear Principal and entire PICT Team,

I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks for all the diligence and dedication with which entire PICT Team has worked throughout the year for 10th graders.

The entire staff has not just carried out their duty but outperformed with their unwavering commitment. It was overwhelming to see teachers standing at the exam centre making sure all kids have reached and taking care of them like guardians.

We were relatively new admission as Palash entered in 9th STD but in no time, it feels close association. I am so grateful to be part PICT!!

With that said, the day and time has come for kids to do their best now. I wish entire PICT Team great success for the board examination.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My son Arnav Ghare is appearing for his 10th class Board exams from today.

It was stressful today making sure he was taking everything that he needed to take, anxiety about reaching on time and he being comfortable during the exam.

We were very touched with the fact that PICT teachers were waiting and were greeting students as they came, reassuring them and also giving quick tips before students entered the exam premises.

We really appreciate this extra effort taken by the school and we are very grateful to the Principal, Teachers, and Staff of PICT Model School.

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Dhanashree Ghare
Parent of Grade 6 & 10 (2025-2026)

Dear Teachers,

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful drama and the grand culmination presented by the Jr. KG learners of the Helen O’Grady Drama classes. Watching the children perform with such confidence, expression, and joy was truly delightful and memorable.

Handling even a single child at home can be challenging, and yet the teachers and Helen O’Grady team manages 25 - 30 young learners with so much patience, care, and dedication. Training them so efficiently, nurturing their creativity, and bringing out their hidden talents is truly commendable. It is definitely not an easy task.

Though these young learners may not fully understand today the lessons they are learning today, the confidence, communication skills, and values you are instilling in them will stay with them forever. They may not realize it now, or even thank you in words, but the impact of your efforts will always be a part of their lives.

On behalf of Riza we sincerely thank each and every teacher of the Helen O’Grady team for your hard work, passion, and commitment. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate everything you do.

With gratitude and respect,

Thank you, teachers.

Dear Principal Ma’am,

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the Bharatnatyam teacher for her wonderful guidance during the recent Performance Day.

Watching my child perform with such confidence, grace, and beautiful expressions was truly a proud moment for us. The performance clearly reflected her dedication, patience, and commitment towards nurturing each student.

We are grateful to the school for encouraging classical arts and for having such a passionate teacher guiding our children.

Warm regards,

Dear Abira Ma’am,

Good morning. I hope you are doing well.

I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you and the entire team for the stupendous display of exhibits on 24th January 2026. Every subject showcased enthusiastic students who were eager to explain their work, confidently sharing the depth of effort and learning behind each exhibit.

Time felt far too short, and I truly wished I could have spent the entire day moving from stall to stall. The teachers were vigilant throughout and managed every small detail with great care including thoughtfully making space for parents whenever a stall became crowded.

As a parent partner, it was an immensely proud and emotional experience from witnessing the spark in the students’ eyes to observing how seamlessly responsibilities were passed on when one student grew tired and another stepped in. It was truly beautiful to watch teamwork and ownership in action.

The Harry Potter theme in Languages, German cities, Formula racing, causes of distress and solutions in German cities, the German skits, the powerful Hindi play by the girls’ team, the sound of the conch shell in the Art section with music vibrations and sand dancing on drums, experiments on soil pH, mysteries of monuments in Social Science, and the many fascinating Science exhibits — all of this was absolutely mesmerizing. I feel fortunate to have witnessed such a rich and diverse learning experience.

Thank you once again for such a meaningful and well-spent morning and afternoon. A big shout-out to all teams and leaders for the dedication, passion, and commitment you bring into nurturing the students.

Wishing you a wonderful day ahead.

Best Regards,
Smita Nanal
Parent of Grade 8 (2025-2026)

Dear Educators,

Sincerely wanted to say thank you for all the efforts that Team PICT takes for all our kids.

We always tend to highlight the negatives and forget to focus on the positives.

Am attaching a picture of my daughter’s random scribbling endeavour from last night. The picture speaks volumes and she is in Nursery!

Big shout out to the educators and the team.

Sincerely,
Dr Sheetal Gogate
Parent of Nursery (2025-2026)

I wanted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful work that you do every single day for our children. You have been extremely supportive, empathetic and dedicated towards child growth and well being.

Thank you for handling Avyaan with such patience and empathy, even during his difficult days when I had to go out for office work. You truly understand his emotions, and it shows in the way you guide him, reassure him, and help him settle. Your spot-on feedback has always helped us understand his progress clearly, and the way you support him through challenges has made a big difference in his confidence.

I deeply value your genuine concern, the extra effort you put in, and the warmth with which you care for him. We are truly grateful to have such dedicated and compassionate teachers for our child.

Thank you, Jignasha Miss and Aditi Miss.

Warm regards,
Swati Walia

Greetings of the day!

This communication is to express our heartfelt gratitude towards Sangeeta Miss for taking care of our child's water intake.

During his school hours, he hardly drinks water which has been impacting his overall wellness, and we told almost all HRTs of all grades till now to ask Samarth to have water if possible.

So, Sangeeta Miss understood our concern and has been kind enough to remind Samarth to drink water. She has been doing this in spite of the fact that it does not come under her core KRAs.

This is a truly touching gesture for us. We appreciate her kindness and concern towards our ward's wellness.

Thanking her again and requesting management to convey our appreciation to her.

Thanks and regards,
Adv. Ritu Raj Sharma
Parent of Grade 4 (2025-2026)

To the Respected Director Principal Ma’am, Principal Ma’am, Teachers, and the Non-Teaching & Support Staff of PICT Model School,

We would like to convey our heartfelt gratitude to the entire PICT Model School family for the care, guidance, and dedication extended to our son, Swaraj Pawar (Class IV – Indus) throughout this academic year.

We feel truly blessed that Swaraj became a part of PICT this year, and we are overjoyed to see him flourishing far beyond our expectations. We firmly believe that this success is the outcome of the school’s consistent efforts, discipline, and commitment to excellence.

From the very first day, our experience with PICT has been remarkable. We deeply appreciate Alpana Ma’am for her constant support during the admission process, making it smooth and seamless. The inspiring address by Abira Ma’am during the parent orientation left a lasting impression on us, and our interaction with Pampa Ma’am was equally enriching and fruitful. These early experiences reaffirmed our belief that PICT is not just a school but a nurturing environment dedicated to shaping well-rounded individuals.

Academically, the school’s emphasis on learning by doing has had a profound impact. Students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and apply concepts in practical ways rather than relying on rote memorization. Teachers show genuine interest in each child’s growth, provide timely feedback, involve parents actively, and ensure that learning extends far beyond textbooks.

Swaraj often tells us, “Getting admission to PICT was my dream, and now it means everything to me. I love my school!” Hearing this fills us with immense joy and gratitude as parents.

We have observed remarkable changes in Swaraj academically, behaviourally, and personally. He has developed a genuine curiosity for learning, applies concepts in his daily life, and independently explores new topics. This transformation has been possible only because of the dedication, guidance, and encouragement from his teachers, who consistently go above and beyond to help every child realize their full potential.

A special note of thanks to Nupur Ma’am for her personal attention, patience in addressing Swaraj’s doubts, and for instilling confidence in him. Even small milestones, like Swaraj now happily enjoying meals at the school cafeteria, have brought us great joy.

Thank you once again for your outstanding efforts in making Swaraj’s journey at PICT both meaningful and memorable. We wholeheartedly wish PICT Model School continued growth and success in the years ahead.

With warm regards,

Rajendra & Swati Pawar
Parent of Grade 4 (2025-2026)

Dear Teachers,

I wanted to extend heartfelt appreciation to the entire teaching staff for their incredible dedication and hard work.

Please convey our thanks and congratulations to all the teachers. They deserve full credit for the success of students, and we deeply value their role in shaping the future of our children.

Thank you to Miss Aditi, Miss Joey and Ritu Ma’am for nurturing self-belief and enthusiasm in students and truly empowering them to step into the future.

Request you to convey a special note of thanks to Shamika Miss for her excellent teaching and guidance in Sanskrit. Her efforts made a significant difference, and Kanak got 100% in Sanskrit.

Warm regards,

Mugdha Kulkarni
Parent of Grade 10 (2024-2025)

Respected Abira Ma'am and Pampa Ma'am,

Hope this email finds you well.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent academic year in Grade 9.

The structured curriculum, consistent guidance, and encouragement provided by the teachers has been outstanding. Special mention to Swarali's HRT Jolly Ma'am for her huge efforts. What we especially appreciate is her patience and the personal counselling and guidance she provided to Swarali. Her support and guidance beyond academics has surely made an impact on Swarali. We are truly grateful for her efforts and commitment.

Abira Ma'am, thank you so much for the clarity that you gave in the orientation session for Grade 10. The session was extremely well-structured, informative, and reassuring.

Lastly, please convey our heartfelt thanks to all the subject teachers and staff members, driver kaka's, Mavshis and the cafeteria staff for all their efforts.

Thanks,

Advocate Harshada Nijsure
