“Appreciation is a wonderful thing:
It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” Voltaire
It is important to appreciate the journey that is taken to
reach a destination as it provides encouragement and motivation to move on . We
firmly believe in this and our students therefore are lauded for their efforts,
their hard work and not just excellence. This week five
middle school students were awarded certificate of appreciation for exemplary
work in different areas by Dr. Advani.
These certificates are awarded after students receive ten credits for
their hard work or excellence in different areas of learning.
Middle School
students completed the presentation of their Assemblies. They did it
effectively and their theme was well thought and appropriate. Each assembly planned
sent out a message of requirement of
developing essential skills. Form 8
presented on ‘Importance of Change’ ,Form 7 students spoke on essentials of
being an ‘Inquirer’ and Form 6 addressed
skills of ‘Self-management ‘.
Five of our students have gone to Pathways Aravalli to participate in Junior Round Square Conference. Round Square is a worldwide association of more than 70 member schools on five continents, of which 20 are in India. These schools share a commitment, beyond academic excellence, to personal development and responsibility through service, challenge, adventure and international understanding. This is one of the steps that we take to provide varied learning experience to our students.
Middle School students also visited ‘Goonj’ this week and
will launch their Goonj campaign as a part of community service, as done in the
previous academic year.
All of these
experiences , create a love for learning among the students since learning is
no longer confined to textbooks or even the school building.
