BLS World School hosted its inaugural Interschool Sports tournament, "Conquest," in 2022. Since then, the school has been continuously enhancing the event by incorporating new elements each year to improve the overall experience.
Football initially dominated the participation in "Conquest" at BLS World School, being the only game played in its early years. However, the event has since expanded to include Badminton, Table Tennis, and Athletics. Over time, Conquest has grown in popularity and now aims to welcome even more schools to participate in its events.
Confluence is a distinctive blend of creatively competitive interschool events centered around the concept of knowledge challenges, established in 2022. Hosted proudly by BLS World School, this event encompasses classic quizzing, debates, and creative writing. In classic quizzing, the emphasis extends beyond merely knowing the correct answers to appreciating the paths taken to arrive at them, fostering a deeper understanding and critical thinking among participants. The debate segment highlights the power of spoken words, focusing on skills in gentle persuasion and speaking with conviction—essential tools for effective communication. Meanwhile, the creative writing component offers an open-ended platform for students to engage in self-reflection and express their critical thinking abilities through written words. Confluence not only provides a stage for showcasing diverse talents but also nurtures a holistic development approach that values both knowledge acquisition and creative expression.
The BLSWS Model United Nations is widely regarded as one of the most engaging educational exercises for students. By assuming the role of a nation's UN representative, participants develop open-mindedness and learn to present their perspectives with sensitivity, passion, care, and tact. This simulation fosters the attributes of a global citizen by encouraging students to understand diverse viewpoints and engage in diplomatic dialogue. What distinguishes BLSWSMUN from other simulations is its inclusion of an expert panel discussion on a global issue that forms the distinct theme each year. This unique feature provides students with insights from leading experts, enriching their understanding and sparking more informed debates. The inaugural edition in 2024 is already drawing student delegates from across India, including both national and international schools, promising a diverse and dynamic exchange of ideas that will further enhance the educational experience for all participants involved.
Converse is an annual critical thinking performance project that delves into significant events in world history, offering a unique approach that transcends traditional theatrical boundaries. Unlike conventional plays that often emphasize conclusions, Converse takes on a collaborative nature, co-creating performance pieces with students to examine the intricate intersections between theatre and art installation. This innovative project seeks to investigate the concept of "and," exploring both the conjunction and disjunction of lived experiences and the multifaceted reality conveyed through syllables. By engaging participants in this creative exploration, Converse challenges them to think critically about historical narratives while blurring the lines between different forms of artistic expression. The result is a dynamic performance that not only educates but also invites audiences to reflect on how history and personal experiences intertwine, creating a richer understanding of our collective past and present.
