Greetings from Suncity School!

"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."- Stephen Hawkins

The multiple intelligences theory is an efficient teaching practice that considers the evolving characteristics of students while acknowledging their individualism. When students work on skills that use different parts of the brain, it not only maximizes learning but galvanizes them to achieve a multi-faceted personality.

Multiple intelligences form an integral part of teaching learning practices at Suncity School and when they are integrated with SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals, given by the UN) along with Design Thinking and Innovation, (DT&I) enhances their credibility and gives a multi-dimensional learning approach to each child.

With this background we are pleased to invite you to be a part of :  ‘Multiple Intelligences and me’  (MI-me 2026), our annual interschool event, to be held on Friday, 20th November 2026. This is the thirteenth year of the event which gives children a platform to create, communicate, collaborate and be compassionate as they deliberate all aspects of life.

The event has been designed keeping in sync with Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences. The widely recognized intelligences namely- interpersonal, intrapersonal, spatial and naturalistic intelligences besides logical, linguistic, kinesthetic and musical intelligences are found in all human beings and it becomes vital to focus on all the intelligences for developing a holistic personality.

A novel event, this competition has an array of specially designed activities, based on the eight intelligences, that each participant will be expected to participate in, to emerge the ‘MI-me’ ACE champion. A concerted effort has been made to add the SDGs to the championship. Design Thinking was included a few years ago as a path to creativity and innovation.

Participation can also be for individual categories. These participants however will not be eligible for the MI –me ACE championship trophy.

The theme for the championship will be Dharohar- prakriti, the buzz word for the academic session 2026-27.

The event will be judged by an eminent panel of judges across the various intelligences.

We look forward to the participation of your esteemed organization in this celebration of learning.

 

Suncity School will feel privileged to have your talented students participate in the event.

The event coordinators are

1. Ms. Kavita Malviya- Head mistress- CCA (9899054091)
