Raipur: At a time when education extends far beyond textbooks, N.H. Goel World School continues to empower young minds with life skills that shape confident, creative, and compassionate individuals. Strengthening its commitment to holistic education, the school proudly enters the fourth successful year of its collaboration with Helen O’Grady International, the world’s largest Developmental Speech & Drama Academy, during the Academic Session 2026–27.
The internationally acclaimed Helen O’Grady Developmental Drama Programme has become an integral part of the school’s learning ecosystem, transforming classrooms into vibrant spaces where imagination thrives, confidence blossoms, and communication comes alive. Through captivating role plays, storytelling, improvisation, creative movement, drama games, and group performances, students develop the essential qualities of Creativity, Confidence, Communication, and Character—the four pillars of the programme.
Conducted by trained and certified Helen O’Grady educators, the sessions follow a globally recognized curriculum designed to help every child discover and express their unique potential. Every learner’s progress is carefully monitored through regular assessments, ensuring personalised attention and continuous development. Upon successful completion of the programme, students are awarded internationally recognised Achievement Certificates, celebrating their remarkable journey of self-expression and personal growth.
Recognising the importance of parental involvement, the programme begins with a comprehensive orientation session that introduces parents to the philosophy and long-term benefits of Developmental Drama. Throughout the year, students are given opportunities to perform on stage, enabling them to overcome stage fear, enhance public speaking skills, strengthen teamwork, and build self-confidence before live audiences.
The Academic Session 2025–26 marked a significant milestone as N.H. Goel World School and Helen O’Grady International celebrated three successful years of an enriching partnership. To commemorate this achievement, students who successfully completed three years in the programme were proudly honoured with Silver Medals, recognising their dedication, perseverance, and outstanding growth.
Expressing his delight, Director Administration Mr. S. K. Tomar said, “Education is not only about academic excellence but also about developing confident personalities who can communicate, lead, and inspire. Our collaboration with Helen O’Grady International reflects our commitment to preparing students with life skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.”
Principal Dr. Awinash Pandey remarked, “The Helen O’Grady programme has transformed the way our children express themselves. It nurtures creativity, confidence, empathy, and effective communication, empowering every learner to face the future with courage and conviction. We are delighted to continue this remarkable journey into its fourth year.”
The Helen O’Grady Developmental Drama Programme at N.H. Goel World School is being efficiently coordinated under the guidance of Programme In-charge Ms. Divya Aggarwal, whose dedicated efforts have played a significant role in the successful implementation and growth of the programme.
