Learning becomes profound when it is visible, and transformational when it is shared.
This ideology, deeply embedded in the vision of Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School, was brought to life through the Academic Fest - Learning Unbound, Edition IX Chapter 2024-2025, on March 01, 2025.
The event was spearheaded and conceptualised by the In-house Learning and Development Centre ‘The Learning Space’ under the motivational leadership of Madam Soumya Gulati, Deputy Director (Academic Development and Innovation), Blue Bells Group of Schools.

The student-centric age-appropriate of our school ensures holistic development of the child and instils concepts and make the students life-long learners. The thematic transdisciplinary approach and its seamless progression across grades were showcased through creatively designed display boards.
This year’s theme, ‘Governing Ourselves: Journey of Learning from Curiosity to Discovery’ was thoughtfully integrated into different subjects like languages, Math and EVS, encouraging students to engage with the concepts of self-governance, responsibility, and leadership. The theme extended to IT, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Physical Education, making learning more meaningful. From interactive exhibits to hands-on experiences, every aspect of the event was designed to spark curiosity and inspire discovery.
A key highlight was the Governance Wheel, symbolizing the core principles of leadership, responsibility, and decision-making.
