Students of The Gera School shine in the Trinity College London Examination in Speech and Drama

Panaji, September 29, 2021: The Gera School (TGS), one of the most prestigious schools in Goa, recognized by the nationally and internationally accepted Cambridge Board, celebrates their students’ outstanding performance who appeared for the Trinity College London Examination in Speech and Drama. The five students studying in Grade 9 have earned great honor for themselves and the school.

Three out of the five students, namely Omkar Rane, Kabir Gadre, and Ananya Vyas achieved Merit while Lucius Almeida successfully secured a Distinction. Another student, Yohaan Pereira, cleared the examination due to his diligent efforts.

This was most likely the first international digital examination that TGS students have ever taken.

When the students graduate from TGS, they will leave with two international certificates from two different examining bodies.

If they opt for more examinations to challenge them, they will also add to their academic credits. Despite all the setbacks and lockdowns, the five students have done exceedingly well. 

The school, which continually seeks to invest in the overall development of its students, believes that the Trinity College London Examinations work synergistically with their focus on life skills by encouraging students to think and act creatively, communicate effectively, and nurture individual styles of expression.

After this remarkable success, the school will now look to expand the program to other Grades. 

The school also applauded the tireless efforts of Mr. Jurish Nath, a member of Staff who himself is a certified Trainer for the Trinity College Examinations, for training the students very successfully.

About The Gera School

The Gera School, located at Kadamba Plateau, is recognized by the nationally and internationally accepted Cambridge Board.

It is a co-educational day-boarding International school. It commenced in 2018 for Pre-primary and Primary up to the 4th standard and, over time, has expanded up to the 9th grade. (The School will soon be a K – 12 school.) 

The school boasts of world-class infrastructure and facilities in an over-four-acre campus. These include a state-of-the-art auditorium, specially-designed smart classrooms, dedicated rooms for music and the arts, a well-equipped and spacious library for collaborative and independent reading, a range of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, and Science and Computer Laboratories.

Apart from academics, TGS gives a lot of importance to extracurricular activities including drama, music, art, gymnastics, and Martial Arts amongst others.

The Gera School offers an international curriculum of high standards while drawing inspiration from the rich experiences that life in India provides.

The academic curriculum is designed to foster a sense of responsibility, critical thinking and reasoning, global awareness, and civic engagement among the students, thus preparing them to be true citizens of the 21st century.

The teaching is activity and application-based, experiential, interactive, and differentiated (to cater to the different needs of learners). 

The Gera School recognizes that academic proficiency alone is not enough. A school must prepare children for a world that is constantly changing.

What will ensure success are excellent communication skills, collaborative skills, and attributes of creativity and innovativeness, resilience, and perseverance.

Accordingly, the school has a life skills program focusing on relationships and communication, teamwork and project management, and entrepreneurship.

It is to these ends that TGS will work so that every child is led towards self-actualization with a variety of challenging but enjoyable learning experiences in and out of the classroom. The values of trust, quality, customer first, and innovation will continue to guide the School. 

Furthermore, parents of students studying in TGS aspiring to send their children abroad will certainly benefit as the Cambridge certifications are recognized and rated highly all over the world.
