There is always some buzz in the PYP foyer when our students find an opportunity to discover and learn outside the four walls of the classroom.
There is always some buzz in the PYP foyer when our students find an opportunity to discover and learn outside the four walls of the classroom. A field trip to the Safari Park Gazipur was one such moment where our learners from KG, Gr 1, 2, and 3 & 5 learned about the rules and regulations of the park and information about the animals and their dwellings.
A walk through the butterfly and the bird sanctuary, and the bus safari tour to see the Royal Bengal Tiger, lions, buffalos, giraffes, white tigers, deer, bears, and many more animals roaming freely in their natural habitat was a treat to the eyes. Our learners witnessed the life cycle of a butterfly as they saw larvae and pupae in real. They were in awe of these fierce animals and loved seeing them up close.
A picnic lunch in the park & seeing the white tiger and the Royal Bengal tiger running in front of the Safari Bus was the highlight of the day! A small museum with a few preserved birds, animals, and reptiles were unique to our students.
The objective of visiting the Safari Park and reflecting upon learning, and tuning into the units was an incredible learning experience. The learners left the park with a newfound appreciation for wildlife and the importance of preserving their terrain. They can now talk about peace and conflict in nature.
We like to thank our teachers, Ms Sifat, Ms Roana, Ms Priyangshu, Ms Surovi, Ms Faria and Ms Mumtaz, Ms Ayesha and Mr Shiful, and two of our nannies, Ms Meem and Ms Shamima for making the trip a memorable one for our young learners.
At Pledge Harbor, we encourage students to participate in activities that help build character and develop leadership skills in an outdoor environment.

The most anticipated tournament of Pledge Harbor International School kicked off in style on the 11th of November, 2016. The tournament was inaugurated by Mr. David Hasanat, Chairman of Viyellatex Group, and Ms. Kaniz Zareen, Chairperson of Pledge Harbor International School; the matches were soon underway. In the junior division, the young panthers won all three of their matches, booking their places in the semis alongside DPS. In the other group, South Breeze finished as champions and ITHS came second. The young panthers lost to ITHS in a very close encounter, after conceding only one goal; the match ended with display of nerve-wracking late drama. South Breeze proceeded as the other finalists after they were victors on penalties against DPS. Turkish Hope was crowned champions after defeating the Breezers 4-0. In the senior division, Pledge Harbor played DPS in the opening match, where the panthers dominated the mustangs as it ended 3-1. Despite a 1-0 loss against BIT, the Panthers cruised past Wordbridge and Capstone school, topping the group with flying colors; DPS ended up being the runners up. The other group also boasted a lot of competition, with ITHS finishing runners up behind Scholastica School Mirpur. However, ITHS dominated the semis against Pledge Harbor in a one-sided match, while DPS being the other finalists as the mustangs eased past Scholastica. The final also looked a very one sided match, where the athletic lads Turkish Hope thrashed DPS 4-0 yet again.

Despite their losses, the panthers fought hard till the very end; this was only a
lesson to be learned from. Some of the teams stayed overnight in Pledge Harbor’s dormitories and guest houses, enjoying the 27 – acre lush green campus and the state of the art facilities. All in all, the tournament was very well organized and exciting and managed – credits due to the organizers, volunteers and the support staff.
