“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin

An educational field trip was organised by J.H. Tarapore School for the students of Std XI on 8th May 2025 to Dorabji Auto, located in Adityapur. The objective of the visit was to provide students with practical exposure to the manufacturing processes involved in producing iron items.

Upon arrival, the students were warmly welcomed by the technical staff, who gave a detailed overview of the production stages. The visit commenced with the shearing process, where large metal sheets are cut into smaller, manageable pieces. This was followed by blanking, a technique used to punch specific shapes from the sheets, and piercing, which involves creating holes in the metal.

Next, the students observed the bending process, where metal sheets are shaped into curves or angles based on design requirements. The highlight of the visit was the welding section, where both manual and robotic welding techniques were demonstrated. The students were particularly fascinated by the precision and efficiency of the robotic arms.

The final part of the tour focused on surface treatment, conducted in three stages. First, the metal surfaces are cleaned using sandblasting or chemical washing. Then, a protective coating – such as primer or paint – is applied to prevent corrosion. Lastly, a finishing process is carried out, including polishing and quality checks to ensure both durability and aesthetic appeal.

Throughout the visit, students were encouraged to ask questions, and each process was explained clearly through live demonstrations. The session concluded with refreshments, allowing the students to interact and reflect on their learning.

The trip was a resounding success and greatly enhanced the students’ understanding of industrial processes. It fostered appreciation for the skills and technology involved in metal manufacturing.

On 1st of May, the school premises were filled with joy and gratitude as we celebrated May Day. The program began with the lighting of the lamp, followed by a series of captivating performances by our students.

The highlight of the event was the hilarious play “Illiteracy: A Curse” performed by our students, which conveyed a powerful message. The dance performance by Class IX students stole the show. The didis and bhaiyas mesmerized everyone with their energetic dance and song.

As a token of appreciation, the school presented gifts to all the sub staff. The students from Class VIII and IX contributed for this day, expressing their gratitude for the hard work.

Our Director, Mrs. Rubina Bodhanwala and Principal, Mrs. Lata Sharat praised the dedication and efforts of all the substaff, thanking them for their contributions. The event fostered a sense of appreciation and respect among our students for the hardworking substaff who support our school.

Today, our school conducted a successful mock drill as guided by the instructions by the Government authorities, to ensure preparedness in case of emergencies.

The students were shown the videos floated by the Government to spread awareness about the mock drill .The drill was  designed to simulate a hostile attack and assess how well civil defense forces can minimize casualties and damage during such emergencies. It also prepares students for crisis situations. The mock drill reinforced our commitment to safety and preparedness. We’re proud of our school community for working together to ensure a safe and secure environment.

“Fire safety is everyone’s fight — awareness today can prevent tragedy tomorrow.”

In observance of Fire Service Week, and under the theme “Unite to Ignite, a Fire Safe India,” J.H Tarapore School had the honor of hosting an On-site Fire Safety Awareness Session organized by SAFE in collaboration with the Tata Steel Fire Brigade.

LITTLE SIPS OF SUMMER

The tiny tots of the Nursery and Kindergarten departments had a fun-filled and exciting day as they geared up to make refreshing lemonade. They eagerly squeezed fresh lemons, mixed the juice with sugar and water, and happily stirred it all together. Their favourite part was tasting the lemonade and watching their friends smile with every sip!

Beyond the fun, the children also learned important lessons about teamwork, sharing, and caring for one another. This activity was part of a new initiative launched by the school – “PRAYAS – Our Little Acts of Kindness.”

As part of this initiative, the teachers set up a charming lemonade stand, and the students enthusiastically served lemonade to the van drivers, auto drivers, didis and bhaiyas who work tirelessly for us every day.
