We are extremely proud of Amogh’s achievements and hope to continue extending our support to assist his future endeavours. 

Now, to quote Amogh, he says, ‘Looking back at my experiences, in all these years at KIS formerly known as RBK has played a vital part in shaping me into what I am today. For the past few years I have actively participated in school debates, dramas and my favourite musicals which gave me a stage to perform and identify my true skills. In fact , it was one of my primary years teachers who identified the talent in me and for that I will always be indebted to the school for providing such wonderful teachers who help many children like me find their true self. Being in this school has helped me increase and improve my oratory skills and has laid a strong foundation for my communication abilities. I would like to thank our respected Principal, the management team, and the esteemed teaching and non-teaching staff for laying a gangway towards my goal in life . Thank you KIS!’

Life at Kanakia International School

The Beatz Crew : The Music Club at Kanakia International School

“The Beatz Crew” is Kanakia International School’s dynamic musical ensemble of talented and passionate learners committed to bring a difference through art. The journey of this talented music ensemble started in March 2020, under the guidance of our school’s  music teacher, Mr. Felix Hug.

The club has performed in events such as ‘VIRTUAL Youth Choir Festival’, ‘Younger than Springtime’ Youth Choir Festival at the St.Andrews auditorium in Bandra, February 2023’s performances at the world renowned ‘Mahindra Blues Festival’ held at the Mehboob Studios, and  November 2023’s spectacular performance at ‘Mahindra Independence Rock Festival’ held at the Bayview Lawns. Besides, in 2023, the Crew’s ongoing collaborative initiative with the ‘Nanhi Kali foundation’ also earned its members an invite to share their journey at the renowned ‘Festival of Hope’, organized by the International Baccalaureate.

The word ‘Interact’ in “Kanakia International Club”stands for ‘International Action’. The motto of the Interact Club is discovering the power of ‘Service above Self’. The main objective of this club is to promote international understanding and by representing numerous schools around the world. This club helps students become global citizens through participation in community service, and by teaching them to value and respect different cultures, opinions, beliefs, etc.

 

In April 2023, 74 students of grades 6-12 from our club had raised 21.54 Lakhs for the Happy School Project initiated by our parent club, Rotary Club of SOBO Mumbai.

The students of KIS(IB) participated in a Campaign with the NGO Cuddles Foundation, to provide Monthly Ration Baskets to children fighting cancer in Maharashtra – 16 students from grades 9-12 were taught crowdfunding skills. They raised a sum of Rs. 5,52,527. This sum will help provide monthly ration baskets for 10 children suffering from Cancer for one entire year. 

Kanakia International School’s Master Talk series presents students with an interesting opportunity to interact with highly successful individuals across different professions. Through this initiative, young minds get a chance to converse with industry experts and masters. The club aims to widen students’ horizons with the help of real-life experiences shared by some of the most motivating and encouraging personalities.
In the past our students have interacted with some of the most famous personalities like Mr. Kapil Dev, Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Mr. Rakesh Maria and Mr. Aaditya Thackeray. 

At Kanakia International School’s Model United Nations (KMUN), the club aims to foster creativity through innovative approaches in organising and executing the event. Our learner’s objective was to ensure that every aspect of KMUN was infused with creativity, from the selection of committee topics to the implementation of advanced technologies. This initiative sought to encourage participants to think critically and creatively about global issues, providing them with a platform to express their unique perspectives and develop innovative solutions.

To further elevate the MUN experience, learners incorporated cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality simulations, interactive voting systems, and digital collaboration tools. These technologies provided a modern twist to traditional MUN activities, making the event more immersive and interactive. By integrating these tools, we aimed to create an environment that not only reflected the realities of contemporary international relations but also prepared students for the technological advancements shaping our world. 

Kanakia International School’s zeal to provide the best to our learners has translated through various endeavours, such as the Kanakia Championship.
Kanakia Championship is an interschool indoor sports championship organised to nurture the spirit of sportsmanship and collaboration in young minds. After completing 2 successful events in the past two years, Kanakia Championship’s arena is ready to witness the biggest sports battles yet again!
