This past month we have been inspired by the number of students who will go out of their comfort zone to access greater learning and be true IB Learner Risk Takers. Many students have been voted numerous times by different teachers in recognition of how they have the ability to face challenges and share new ideas.

Invitation to a photo exhibition - Vignettes of the Asiatic Lion
Dhruv Anant Wadkar, Grade 11 student of our school will be displaying his photographic works of the Asiatic Lion on November 10-14, 2015 at The Art Space@Suntec. The display titled “Vignettes of the Asiatic Lion” will have approximately 50 photographs capturing his work over two years in Sasan Gir, Gujarat in India. As you may be aware, Gir Sanctuary is the only abode to the Asiatic lion in the world and is also celebrating 50 years of existence. As Singapore has named the lion its national animal, we feel it is fitting timing of his efforts in Singapore’s Golden Year.
Dhruv has been taking pictures in the wild since the age of 7. This is his third exhibition; his first was held at the
Indira Gandhi National Center for the Arts, in New Delhi, India, along with 32 other prominent photographers; and the second with his solo works of the tigers at Ranthambore National Park was held in Hyderabad, India. His photographs of the Indian Tiger were also included in the 2013 WWF calendar. http://www.teensfortigers.com/home.html
In 2010, he was selected as the teenage Brand Ambassador of The Wild Life Savers Society and Earth Matters
Foundation. He completed his school project last year on ‘Parks of Singapore,’ which is available online here:
