Dharav High School, Gurugram, hosted a vibrant Reading Retreat for children aged three to ten, celebrating storytelling as a powerful pathway to learning and growth. The initiative reinforced the school’s commitment to nurturing creativity, curiosity and shared experiences beyond the classroom.

Over 100 children and their parents participated in the day-long retreat, which featured storytelling corners, playful word games and musical activities designed to spark imagination, encourage self-expression and demonstrate the joy of reading as a shared family experience.

“Storytelling is the stepping stone to give wings to the imagination of little ones, helping them shape a greater future for themselves and the community. It instils a habit of original thinking and paves the way for meaningful learning,” said principal Ritu Jawa.

Parents also highlighted the role of storytelling in their own lives, noting how the practice strengthens character, bonds families and fosters teamwork.

Led by chairperson Devyani Jaipuria and director Aditi Misra, Dharav High School continues to weave storytelling into education, aiming to inspire creativity, nurture empathy and instil values that empower students to grow into curious and compassionate individuals ready for a dynamic world.
