EDUCATION
A school magazine cannot be created in a day.
What began as an idea gradually became a shared effort. It took shape through countless conversations, careful revisions, moments of inspiration, and the collective commitment of those who believed this magazine was worth creating. The voices of our students gave it purpose, filling these pages with stories, poems, artwork, and reflections that capture the spirit of our community.
I have seen the care that went into every page, and I am grateful to everyone who helped bring it together. My sincere appreciation goes to the team behind this publication for transforming an ambitious idea into something meaningful. To our students who wrote, sketched, photographed, reflected, or simply chose to share a piece of themselves-thank you.
More than a record of a year gone by, this magazine captures the moments we often Imove past too quickly. It reminds us that every voice matters and that every contribution helps shape the story of our school.

Student Editors
A strong foundation is the greatest gift we can offer a child. It is in these early years that confidence takes root, imagination flourishes, and a lifelong love for learning begins to bloom. Every smile of achievement, every new word spoken, every friendship formed, and every obstacle overcome becomes part of the story that shapes a child's future. As educators and families walk this journey together, we are not simply teaching lessons for today—we are nurturing curious minds, caring hearts, and capable individuals who will grow into the innovators, leaders, and changemakers of tomorrow.

Five cows lived in a little forest. They ate fresh grass in a large green meadow. They were kind friends. They decided to do everything together, so the lions couldn't attack them for food.
One day, the five cows fought and each one started to eat grass in a different place.
The lions decided to seize the opportunity and killed them one by one.

Once we had a pet cat named Chelsea. We got her on my brother's birthday. She was a Turkish Angora with white fur and yellow eyes. Her tail always stands up. She was very friendly. I used to feed her, put makeup on her. When I used to draw, she always rubs her head on me. One day while playing, 1 hugged her; she suddenly scratched on my face. Then my father gave her to his friend. We were very sad. Also 1 got lot of injection. After 2 years, we got a message from my father's friend that our Chelsea delivered 5 kittens. We asked for one of her kittens. That's "Leo". Again we got a pet cat.
Once upon a time there were three cousin sisters named after Wardah, Sumayya and Razan. They were best friends, but the only problem was that they all were in different places. sumayya and Razan were in Saudi Arabia but in different places. And Wardah lived in UAE.THey all meet in India during their summer vacation. But Sumayya doesn't come often because she has 5 siblings and the ticket price will be high. The last time they called through the phone, they danced to their favourite songs. While they were dancing, Wardah's laptop charge went off. She was presenting the song. "oh! Now we can't call again" said Wardah. Thats when wardah had an Idea. She told her cousins that she might not be able to join the call again. She plugged her laptop for charge and after an hour she heard a 'ding'! Sound. It was her laptop. And it was ready for the next call. And a happy ending.
Hey friends, be smart and work hard. Don't just call your parents.
Progress, not perfection, is the Journey.

Saying No Flora was always the one who said "yes" to everyone. She helped, shared, & never refused anyone, even when she was tired.
One day, she had an important exam the next morning. Her friend asked for help with something like notes. Flora wanted to say "yes" like always, but she stopped & said, "Sorry I can't - today I need to study".
She felt bad & nervous at first, but nothing unpleasant happened. But that's good that her friend understood. Flora realised something important that - its okay to say "No" & need not to be a people pleaser. And if the person in front doesn't understand then its not right, - you shouldn't blindly trust or help because its clear that they are using you when they need.
Yes!

Friends:
A source of life.
The Cambridge Dictionary defines "friend" as "a person who you know well and like, but who is not usually a member of your family." It's neat, precise, tidy, and the clinical definition. It's also full of holes.
To anyone who has truly lived, a friend is a lot more than a mere social acquaintance. There comes a point in your life where friendship passes through a transforming machine and becomes something entirely new and primal. And suddenly, it's not just about hobbies anymore. Your friends become your anchor, your place of retreat, your will to endure. They become the family you choose, they step into sacred places blood relations cannot fill. Everything gets too loud, and you find yourself closing every other matter unrelated to them.
A friend-a true one-is whom you can drop the armour with, drop the guard, and lower the walls. With them, there's no "I'm fine." You can be messy, incomplete, or dirty-and most importantly, be yourself with them. They're aware of you- sometimes more than you are of yourself. They know your deepest secrets, your darkest ones, those quirks you don't unleash around anybody else, and your harshest insecurities. They know everything, yet they still look at you with a protective, reassuring flare in their eyes that's impossible to ignore.
Life sometimes is impossible to get through. You fall, and you keep on falling, and the world looks away, passes by, but they don't. They won't. They reach for you, hold your hand, and try to pull you back up. It may not happen at first, but they won't let go till you make it back up and stand on the ground, chin held high. In a way, they keep us alive, keep us sane when they're also trying to.
They're the keepers of our resilience, the foundation of our confidence, a part of our soul.

I started playing chess when I I was 6 years old, and now I know how to play it very well. My father taught me how to play chess, and after four years of practice, I learned the game and won some matches against him.
Now, I am teaching chess to my mother, brother, and others. One day, I played chess with my father. I won two or three games, and my father won two games.

Work hard each day, don't delay, Keep your focus all the way; Try again when you fall, Stand up strong and give your all. Success comes slow, step by step, With effort, patience, and full prep;
Dreams come true, it's clear and true, When hard work shines in all you do.

One afternoon, I found an old paintbrush in my attic. It looked ordinary, but when I painted a butterfly, it suddenly came to life and flew around my room. Excited, I painted a small tree, and it grew right in front of me. I spent the whole afternoon creating amazing things with the magic paintbrush.
Before sunset, the paintbrush began to glow. A note appeared saying, "Use this gift wisely and help others." I smiled and promised I would.
The next morning, the paintbrush was gone, but I will never forget my magical adventure.
Moral: Special gifts should be used to help others and do good things.
Every Student Can Relate!

1. What happens before the class starts?
Every student suddenly becomes super active two minutes before class. Someone is still eating breakfast while another person is searching for headphones. One student keeps saying, “Can you hear me?" even before the teacher joins. Another student pretends the camera is broken because they just woke up. The quiet students secretly hope the teacher forgets attendance. Meanwhile, one brave student reminds everyone about homework and instantly becomes the most hated. Finally, the teacher joins, and everybody acts calm like they were ready the whole time.
2. What happens when the internet slows down or goes off? The internet always chooses the worst moment to stop working. Suddenly, every student freezes on screen with funny faces. Some students quickly type, “Ma'am, your voice is breaking,” even though everyone knows it is their own internet. One student disappears completely and returns ten minutes later acting confused. Another student uses the internet problem as an excuse to avoid answering questions. The teacher keeps repeating the same sentence five times because nobody can hear clearly. Everyone becomes silent while waiting for the connection to return. When the internet finally works again, the whole class feels like survivors of a disaster movie.
3. How students prepare before returning cameras on? Turning on the camera is a very serious mission for students. First, they check their hair like they are preparing for a movie scene. Then they move random clothes and snacks out of the background. Some students change from pajamas into a proper shirt in only thirty seconds. Others test different camera angles to look “natural.” One student always pretends the camera is loading slowly. Another student suddenly cleans the room because the teacher might notice the mess. After all the preparation, the camera finally turns on for only two minutes before turning off again.
4. What happens while in class?
Online classes are full of unexpected moments. One student accidentally unmutes and everyone hears loud family conversations. Another student answers confidently but gives the completely wrong answer. The teacher says, "Any questions?” and the whole class becomes silent like a ghost town. Meanwhile, someone is secretly eating chips near the microphone. One student is actually studying while others are daydreaming about lunch. Suddenly, a pet cat or little sibling appears on camera and becomes more popular than the lesson. By the end of class, everyone is tired but still says, "Bye teacher!” with fake energy before leaving instantly.
5. What happens when friends say, “We'll leave in five minutes"?
This sentence is almost never true. First, everyone says they are ready to go. Then one friend suddenly remembers they need water, snacks, or a charger. Another person disappears to change clothes for the third time. Someone spends ten minutes choosing the perfect playlist for the trip. Meanwhile, the others stand near the door getting more impatient every second. One friend keeps shouting, “Hurry up!" while also not being ready. In the end, the group leaves thirty minutes later and acts like nothing happened

Riddle time!
1. I am always in front of you but can never be seen, what am I?
2. The more you share me, the less you have. What am I?
3. What can run but never walks, has a bed but never sleeps, & has a mouth but never talks.
4. The person who make it, doesn't need it. The person who buy it, doesn't use it.
The person who uses it, doesn't know that. What is it?

IMPLEMENTATION
A four-day professional development training programme conducted by the Pearson team was held in Chennai from 15th to 18th June 2026. The programme focused on deepening participants' understanding of the Pearson International Primary and Lower Secondary curriculum while exploring effective teaching and learning practices that support student success.
The training covered a wide range of topics, including assessment practices, critical thinking, active learning strategies, and the effective use of Pearson's ActiveLearn platform. Through interactive discussions and practical activities, participants examined approaches that encourage greater student engagement and deeper learning.
Particularly insightful was the session on Maths Mastery, which focused on developing conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning, and a growth mindset in learners. The session on Introduction to Teaching EAL Students explored the challenges both teachers and students face when teaching and learning English in a non-native English-speaking classroom and offered practical strategies for overcoming them. The session on classroom management further highlighted proactive approaches that promote positive learning behaviours and productive learning environments.
The programme offered valuable professional learning and provided fresh perspectives that will continue to inform and strengthen classroom practice at MAGE.
Every Sunday, MAGE studnts in Dubai come together for Active Sundays, a unique feature of our hybrid learning model. Held at indoor venues or the beach, these weekly sessions include sports, games, fitness activities, and team-building experiences that encourage healthy living, strengthen friendships, and foster a strong sense of community. Active Sunday transforms weekends into opportunities to connect, stay active, and learn beyond the classroom.
Our two-day retreat at a serene resort in Kottakkal was a refreshing opportunity for teachers to relax, reconnect, and grow together beyond the classroom.
The programme featured an inspiring session on Work-Life Balance by Ms. Anjan, who shared practical strategies for maintaining personal well-being while managing professional responsibilities. Her interactive session encouraged teachers to reflect, recharge, and embrace healthier work habits.
The retreat also included a variety of fun games, team-building activities, and engaging challenges that strengthened collaboration, boosted morale, and created many memorable moments filled with laughter and camaraderie. A special highlight of the programme was the Certificate Distribution Ceremony, where teachers who had successfully completed one year of dedicated service were recognised and appreciated for their commitment and valuable contributions to the school community.
The retreat concluded with renewed energy, stronger bonds, and a shared sense of appreciation, leaving everyone inspired
