SAI Gifted Programme 2026–27 Concludes with Confidence, Creativity and Self-Discovery

The SAI Gifted Programme 2026–27 at SAI International Residential School successfully concluded on August 8, 2026, marking the culmination of an enriching journey of confidence building, communication, creativity, leadership, and self-discovery for the participating students. Conducted by Hiera Fathman and Jacob Keeley, the programme provided students with an engaging and experiential learning environment that encouraged them to explore the art of effective communication, voice learning, stagecraft, public speaking, leadership, and expressive performance. Throughout the programme, students participated enthusiastically in vocal warm-ups, tongue twisters, stage-position exercises, team challenges, script-based activities, presentations, and reflective storytelling sessions, transforming each interaction into an opportunity for personal and collaborative growth. The concluding session, themed “No Acting, Please,” focused on the importance of authenticity, personal expression, and meaningful communication. Students presented their ideas, collaborated through script-based pair activities, and engaged in reflective sharing around the theme, “If I Could Talk to Someone Who Is No Longer in My Life.” The thoughtful activity created a space for empathy, emotional expression, confidence, and genuine human connection, allowing students to communicate their thoughts with honesty and depth. Throughout the programme, the enthusiasm and active participation of the students created a vibrant learning environment. Beyond strengthening public speaking and presentation abilities, the activities encouraged active listening, collaboration, creativity, self-expression, and self-confidence. The programme also enabled students to discover their individual voices while developing the skills needed to communicate ideas with greater clarity and purpose. The successful culmination of the SAI Gifted Programme 2026–27 reflects SIRS's continued commitment to nurturing gifted learners through innovative, globally inspired, and student-centred learning experiences. By bringing together communication, creativity, performance, and leadership, the programme empowered young learners to become confident communicators, thoughtful leaders, and compassionate individuals, ready to make a meaningful difference in the world around them.
