Theme: “Unmasking the Appeal – Tobacco Kills: Be Smart, Don’t Start”
Date: 29th May 2025
Venue: Scottish High International School
Each year, millions of lives are lost to tobacco use—lives that could have been saved. On 29th May 2025, just a day before the school closed for summer break, Scottish High International School came together to observe World No Tobacco Day with purpose and passion.
The theme, “Unmasking the Appeal – Tobacco Kills: Be Smart, Don’t Start,” resonated strongly with our students and teachers and staff, especially in an age where the tobacco industry continues to target young minds through clever marketing and flavored products that are addictive.
The day began with a powerful gesture—our Health Champions visited classrooms from Grades IX to XII, where they initiated conversations around tobacco use and led students in taking a heartfelt pledge to say no to all forms of tobacco. The message was simple but strong: Don’t get trapped by the tactics of the tobacco industry, peer pressure or curiosity. Choose health. Choose life.
This was followed by a wide range of student-led activities that were both informative and moving. Students designed posters and digital creatives that captured the harsh truths of tobacco addiction. Others worked in teams to produce audio-visual presentations, spreading awareness in a format that was both relatable and impactful.
One of the most stirring moments of the day came when a group of students performed a short drama, illustrating the suffering of families affected by tobacco use. Their performance portrayed not just the physical toll, but also the emotional and financial struggles—especially of those who are passive smokers. The silence in the classrooms said it all; the message had struck a chord.
Beyond performances, the most valuable moments were perhaps the ones that happened in classrooms. Teachers facilitated open discussions around how tobacco remains one of the leading causes of preventable deaths globally. Students talked about how the tobacco industry subtly targets the youth and why it’s important to resist these influences. There was a clear takeaway: awareness is the first step to prevention.
They also discussed the importance of supporting family members and friends who want to quit. Quitting is not easy, but with the right help—be it counseling, medication, or simply someone to talk to—it is possible.
In his message, Principal Dr. Sanjay Sachdeva praised the commitment and creativity of the students. He encouraged everyone to extend their awareness campaigns beyond the school walls, making use of social media to reach a wider audience. He emphasized the importance of spreading awareness and urged the students to become change-makers in their communities.
In Conclusion World No Tobacco Day at Scottish High was more than just an event—it was a reminder of the power young people hold to influence change. Through stories, creativity, and heartfelt conversations, our students showed that they are not just aware—they are ready to take action.
Because every step counts, and every voice matters in the journey toward a healthier, tobacco- free world.

The Modern Foreign Languages Department organized a vibrant Inter-Clan Spell Bee competition in French, German, and Spanish on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. The event was designed to foster a love for languages, encourage multilingualism, and broaden the cultural horizons of our learners. Participants were Grade 7 learners, each studying one of the three languages. They approached the competition with enthusiasm and a strong desire to showcase their linguistic skills. The competition offered them an opportunity to expand their vocabulary in areas such as salutations, everyday objects, animals, numbers, and more. Learners worked on perfecting their pronunciation and spelling in their chosen language.
The Spell Bee competition was structured into three rounds: Translation Round in which participants translated words from the target language into English, Reverse Translation Round in which participants translated words from English into the target language and Picture Identification Round in which participants identified images and named them in the target language.
The selection of words presented a varying degree of difficulty, challenging learners to push their limits. The atmosphere was electric as learners eagerly competed, demonstrating their growing proficiency in their chosen language.
The competition concluded with the results being announced by one of the judges. The event was not only a test of language skills but also an opportunity for learners to become more open-minded, internationally aware, and to develop a growth mindset.
Overall, the Spell Bee was a resounding success, celebrating linguistic diversity and promoting cross-cultural understanding in an engaging and interactive way. The event was a testament to the power of language learning in opening up new horizons and fostering global citizenship among our learners.

Scottish High celebrated The French National Day on 13th July 2018. Witnessing a passionate participation of students from Std. VI to XII, all sporting French Flags, the celebration displayed the Highlanders’ wide acceptance and appreciation of the new culture. It was breathtaking to be an audience to such expanded and fluid demonstration of knowledge by the students, with their picture-perfect rendition of songs and dances. A special Quiz followed with the drama ‘The Little Red Riding Hood’ which the students acted in French made it all evident ‘the French connection’ that keeps these students glued to this beautiful language.
A proud moment for Scottish High as Special Olympics Bharat athletes from all across the country assembled at the premise of the school! Pulsating with the hustle and bustle of the athletes, the preparatory camp brought together around 400 athletes and 129 coaches, cut across 27 states of India.
A mock drill that endeavoured to simulate World Summer Games 2019, the camp unfolded a screening test of physical fitness for all the athletes and participants. Integrating various sports disciplines like Aquatics, Basketball, Golf, Handball et al, the camp was up-and-coming in equipping all the athletes with expertise and training and also in providing them momentum to look forward and see themselves as medal contenders in the World Summer Games, slated to be held in Abu Dhabi in 2019.
At Home’- A session meant to welcome the new parents to the evolving family of Scottish High, once again greeted them with all fervor and warmth. The new fleet of parents were taken through a round of presentations, followed with the introduction of all staff members of Scottish High fraternity.
