A considerable part of a person’s success depends on one of the educational institutions he/she has been a part of. It builds them in different ways to be the person they were destined to be.

I entered the school in Standard 4 when the school caught me in awe of the size and structure. Slowly and steadily, I made a small place for myself in this vast world. It was all great when we encountered the chance to shift to IGCSE in Standard 7. We were officially part of the “First Batch” of IGCSE. A bunch of 30 students with no clue of what we were going to experience. But it was our teachers who gave us the most support in understanding the curriculum while themselves finding out about it at the same time. The kind of dedication our teachers had towards us was enviable. From creating live background music for poetry to learning advanced Office skills, we learnt much more than the other students. Becoming the first batch from the school to attend a Model United Nations was a great learning experience. I want to thank the Principal and my teachers for being the universe of knowledge for us to learn from and the wall of support for us to fall back on. I did leave school with smiles and hopes of a bright future, but I made sure to look back and visit the most beautiful institution of my growing up years. And each time I visit, there is a perpetual smile on my face.

11 years later, I still thank the school and the wonderful teachers for giving me the life skills that helped me accomplish so much in my student life and now in my professional life.This is Akshada Shetty, an alumnus of RBKIS 2012 batch.

These invaluable experiences allowed me to develop crucial life skills, fostering resilience, teamwork, and creativity.

I graduated from AS/A Levels in 2018. Currently at an acting conservatory in Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York. I have completed my B.S in TV and Video production, after which I worked as a News Director for a year. Whenever I’m faced with an obstacle, I find myself looking back at my time in school for answers, because I feel I’ve learned to overcome them before having to face them. The practical integration of the subject matter in books is what lured me into AS/A levels. I felt free to express the concepts and systems in the way I truly understood it and that to me opened new doors to learning and growing as a person. The teachers I was blessed with, truly became major foundations aiding my growth as a person ready to step in the real world. Looking back, RBKIS really did feel like my 2nd home and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
