The Maker Movement began in the early 2000’s and has taken off in education over the last decade.
MakerSpaces promote creativity, design thinking and problem solving by giving students a place
where they take charge of the making. Stonehill students hone their skills in Design classes, and can
extend their learning by bringing those skills to the makerspace.
M1 – M3 Design classes tested out the Makerspace.
Primary students use the Makerspace during the STEM Club ASA.
The Stonehill Makerspace is stocked with physical building tools, robotics, and electronics equipment
and is used during ASAs, and open during lunch breaks for students to come in, explore, and create.
Students can follow guides to learn new tools, complete guided challenges, or take complete charge
and create whatever their imagination comes up with.
For his personal project, P8 student Krish, led PYP teachers in an exploration of Makey Makeys.
We can’t wait to see Stonehill Students make the Makerspace their own!

P1 Share Their Learning
P1 worked on an animal project in the last unit of inquiry. We recycled some of the junk during our
new unit of inquiry to make our animals. Some of us used cardboard boxes, cardboard rolls, plastic
yoghurt containers and plastic lids to make our constructions.

IBDP Examinations
The IB DP examinations commence this afternoon at 12:30pm. On behalf of entire Stonehill
community, I would like to extend our best wishes for the examinations. The examinations will end
on Friday, 18th May.
Graduation Ceremony
The D2 Graduation Ceremony will take place on Saturday, 26th May at the school from 6:30pm
onwards. This event is by invitation only.
MYP eAssessments
The MYP eAssessments for M5 start on Monday, 7th May and continue until Friday, 18th May. Mr.
Jitendra Pandey has shared all relevant details with students and parents. Most of the examinations
are scheduled for the afternoon session; students will have normal classes during their other
periods.
Semester 2 Examinations
The M1 – M4 examinations are scheduled for 31st May, 1st and 4th June. The D1 examinations will
be held from 30th May to 5th June.
End of Year Student Council Dance
We are fast approaching that time of the year when the Student Council organises the end of year
dance. The dance has been traditionally organised soon after the final IB exams of the Diploma
students, in order for the D2s to partake in this event as well.

This year the Secondary dance is being held on Friday, 18th May. The venue is at Embassy BLVD club
and it is from 7:30 – 10:30pm. The theme for the dance is ‘Red Carpet’. There will be ten
chaperones, represented by teachers and parents, at the dance.
Tickets for the dance are priced at INR 2500/- and will be sold in school by the Student Council. The
cost of the tickets includes venue charges, soft drinks, starters and a sumptuous dinner. Except for
boarding students, the drop to and pick up from the venue will be the responsibility of parents.
Please note that this is a Stonehill sponsored event, all school rules apply and guests are not
permitted. All parents should have received the consent forms for the dance – please ensure that the
form is filled, as students who do not have this will not be allowed to attend.
Please note – Boarding closes from 4:00pm Thursday, 14th June
Boarding House rooms need to be vacated fully during the Summer Break for maintenance.
It is hard to believe that we are fast approaching the end of this academic year. In fact, for many of
our boarders, the academic challenges this year are rapidly approaching. On the academic front, we
have reached a pivotal period for D2 students as they prepare for their final IB exams which begin
this week. We wish them best of luck!
Best regards,
Glen Johnson
