Tomoe Gakuen - Rishona Chopra

A unique school it is,
A bright shine it has,
No rules for studying or going in the pool, It was truly so cool!

The headmaster was a musician, And he had great ambitions! He wanted students to learn with passion and fun, He let the play in the gardens and run!

I wish I too went to this school,
There truly would be no strict rules!
They let students learn at their pace,
So that they learnt with grace.

They visited a hot spring at such a young age,
It kept them so engaged.
 It is such a unique place,
It was something to embrace!

I wish I studied there,
But I too have a lot of fun here!

My Tantrums As A Child - Gaurangi Rastogi

 My childhood was a colourful one. Full of life, fun and tantrums. Whenever I talk about my childhood to my family, they say, “Beta, you were so fussy about anything you wanted.” 

I still remember one of them: a fuss about a dress! 

Really on a dress! 

I was 5 and very passionate about Disney princesses; my favourite was Cinderella. I wanted a dress like hers, which was unavailable in my hometown. So, I told my Papa to ask my aunt and bring it whenever she visited me. I did not eat anything for weeks when she got the dress. I rejoiced and kept it for my next birthday. For years, I just kept procrastinating about wearing the dress. It’s just kept in my closet and has fungus on it. 

There are many stories like this in my life, but this story made me realise that there is a reason behind our parent’s deeds.

Tomoe Gakuen - Anvesha Rana

I wish I were a student at Tomoe, 
so free and yet so connected, 
I could have met the headmaster, 
and made friends with Totto-Chan. 

If I were a student at Tomoe, 
I would have visited the Hot Spring, 
while enjoying the new bling. 

The Souvenir photo would have cracked me up, 
and the Oops boy would have been a fun hub, 
I really wish I were at Tomoe, 
for it would be so lively. 

If I were at Tomoe,
I would have learnt Eurythmics, 
Though it would be funny to be so Rhythmical. 

I do wish I were at Tomoe, 
but I already have my own right here, 
which is My Good School!

Hot Springs - Rishona Chopra

A hot spring is a spring of naturally hot water, typically heated by subterranean volcanic activity. The Blue Lagoon (Iceland) is the most famous hot spring in the world. Yes, there are hot springs in India - such as Manikaran.

Having trips to hot springs is a fascinating thing. You can do several things like -
- Relaxation
- Swim
Most of all, you have a natural spa with just you around!

I have never been to a hot spring before, but I wish I could have a trip to a hot spring. Maybe our school could take us to a hot spring!

Eurythmics - Rishona Chopra


Eurythmics is the art of rhythmic education. We can listen to a song, but very few can relate to the beats and rhythm. Once you do that, mastering dance and music is like taking candy from a baby with hard work and dedication.

Rhythmic education makes the body and mind equally developed in harmony and peace.
At Tomoe, the headmaster has added Eurythmics as a subject in his school. He teaches students to change their body steps with the beats. It increases focus too.

When I was learning the piano, my piano teacher sang a song, and I had to play the beats with one key. Now, I understand he was teaching me Eurythmics. I am grateful to him for teaching me what I know today.

Having eyes but not seeing beauty; having ears, but no hearing music; having minds but not perceiving truth; having heart that are never moved and therefore never set on fire are the things to fear of.

Children could be taught to hear and feel music in their minds rather than just with their ears; how to make them feel music as a thing of movement rather than a dull, lifeless subject; how to awaken a child’s sensitivity.

Poem on Humility - Arav Agarwal


Humility comes from simplicity;
It teaches us equality. 

Humility strengthens connectivity;
Fills our life with positivity.
 
Kindness, Compassion, Gratitude
Are humble person’s attitude.
 
Treat each other with respect and dignity
And always practice the value of humility.

Billabong School Song - Arav Agarwal

Totto-chan's School Song helped me connect with my school's song, Billabong High International School, Thane. I love my school song and am happy to share it with everyone.

Billabong High is a fun place to be

To learn to have fun, there's a lot to see.

As you grow up and go to a higher class

And recap what you have done

And soon you'll pass

It's an exciting place for children

And they look forward to going there

Not only do they get an education, but,

They get individual love and care.

You will be a proud graduate

And one day, you will say

I went to Billabong High and see what I am today.

I went to Billabong High and see what I am today.

I went to Billabong High and see what I am today.
