Interactive Session On CCE

Dear all

In an endeavor to bring about the much-needed change in the education policy in India, CBSE has introduced CCE i.e. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation in schools for classes IX and X. This new evaluation system aims at identifying and promoting the hidden talents in the children and hence shifts the focus from 'just' academics to the overall development of a child. Magnificent efforts are required to be put in while bringing about a change. And in our school too, teachers are taking great pains to leave no stones unturned while contributing for a hopefully, successful run of CCE. In a bid to create general and specific awareness for the same among students, certain workshops are being conducted in our school. Vice Principal ma'am, Mrs. Anjali Malik discussed the various aspects of CCE with students of class IX in the workshop. Hence, the school is setting up a dialogue between the students and teachers through such interactive sessions. We really appreciate the efforts of one and all. Let's just hope that everything goes well.

With an intention of introducing and hence discussing this new concept of 'Continuous And Comprehensive Evaluation' for classes IX and X, this interaction between parents and the school's faculty went off quite fruitful.

All the aspects of this newly arrived education policy, namely Scholastic and C0-scholastic, were duly dealt with. A special feature of the event i.e. The Question Answer round, is worth a mention. The very curious parents actively participated and hence contributed towards this cause by asking relevant questions. Feeling the responsibility towards grooming a child into a responsible citizen, parents as well as teachers joined hands and appeared determined to work towards the same. As per the expectations, we are happy to share with you the various links leading to almost all the required documents. In case of further inquiries, do not hesitate to contact us.

Annual Day Celebrations 2009

Dear all

We are back to the pavilion! We hope that you all had a blast(not in terms of crackers!) this festive season.And now, we wish to scribble in the school's diary i.e. on the blog again! Through this post, we intend to acknowledge the magnificent efforts put in by everybody towards making the celebration of Annual Day 2009 truly successful. Events like this cannot happen overnight. Wheels start rolling weeks ago. It takes perseverance and a bird's eye for details.

Scheduled for October 15th, the function commenced at about 5:30 in the evening with a bang. Sh. A.S.Gill, Director General CRPF obliged to be the Chief Guest for the event while Mrs. Manjeet Gill, President CWWA, was the Guest of Honour. Former DGs were also cordially invited to grace the evening with their valuable presence. After a brief conversation with the school's prefectorial board, the guests proceeded to attend the main event.

The beginning of the function was marked by lighting of the lamp ceremony. Then came the choir group in its full glory to sizzle the stage. It was followed by a mesmerizing performance by the very talented instrumentalists of the school. Then the stage was flooded with the tiny tots beautifully performing in their ballet. The audience witnessed a scintillating act on the theme Natural Resources: A mission with a vision and was provoked to think about the plight of depleting natural resources and the uncertainties that our future holds for us.

After the junior ballet, the school presented the guests with saplings as a token of love for them. Then, Principal sir delivered his final speech as the school's head. He had a lot to say to his successors. His words of appreciation and inspiration left everybody brimming with emotions. He, then invited the school's Head Boy and the Head Girl to read out the school's Annual Report. Click here to see the report. Then the Guest of Honour was requested to release this year's edition of the school's magazine Srijun. Prizes were given away to the outstanding student achievers for the session 2008-09. The Vote of Thanks was proposed by the school's Head Girl.

Then came the turn of Senior Ballet- Rashmirathi Karna. Children were all geared up to give it their best shots. The act was based on a very relevant theme. It indirectly addressed the youth of today which feels paralyzed by some invisible factors to realize their full potential. Also, on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, the Head Boy and the Head Girl urged the assemblage to observe a Green Diwali this year and in the years to come to live in harmony with nature. The National Anthem was sung by all to mark an end to the Annual Day's celebrations.

We have just words of praise for all. Everybody was compelled to come out of their comfort zones to accomplish the various tasks assigned. Like everything else, it had to come to an end. Events like this give children a great platform to showcase their talents. We are very optimistic for the celebrations next year. It gets better with each passing year, and that's a great sign !

HAPPY DIWALI

Dear all

The festival of Diwali, the festival of lights has finally arrived. And hence, first and foremost, we wish you all a very, very Happy Diwali. May this Diwali bring lots and lots of happiness to all of you. May this Diwali be the most sparkling and lightening.The sights and sounds filling up your heart with joy and happiness.Let this Diwali burn all your bad times and enter you in good times.

Diwali is a significant festival in Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism, and an official holiday in India. Adherents of these religions light diyas to signify victory of good over the evil within an individual. Diwali is the abbreviation of the Sanskrit word "Deepavali". Deepa meaning light and Avali, meaning a row. It means a row of lights and indeed illumination forms its main attraction.

The story behind Diwali varies from region to region, several significant events associated with it are Return of Rama to Ayodhya and The Killing of Narakasura. Diwali celebrations are spread over five days in India and all over the world. All the days except Diwali are named according to their designation in the Hindu calendar.

While Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning is "the awareness of the inner light".Many Diwali festivals have come and gone. Yet the hearts of the vast majority are as dark as the night of the new moon. The house is lit with lamps, but the heart is full of the darkness of ignorance.The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightning shine? All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme Diwali.

And on this auspicious occasion, E-club urges you all to celebrate a Green Diwali. In the simplest terms, we mean to say, DO NOT burn crackers. By doing so, you are actually saying NO to noise and air pollution and YES to Life! Many of the E-members are also strongly recommending a Diwali which is free from the cacophony of crackers and full of happiness and joy, through their blogs. Sensitize yourself and others towards this noble cause of celebrating Diwali in harmony with nature. That's all we got to put in words. Click here to know more...

Once again, Have a Very Happy, Safe and Green Diwali.

The Curious Case Of Class X Boards !

Hello everyone

HRD Minister Kapil Sibal seems successful in getting the eyebrows of the sane and the sensible people after as sensitive a issue as making Class X Board Exams 'optional'. And we are at it again...inviting your opinions, comments and suggestions on this very curious case that virtually defines each of our lives. Let's start a word-riot in the comments section, exercising our right of Freedom to Speech in free India and form public opinions.

With a motive of igniting and initiating, we blog down some of the pros and cons of 'abolishing' or making Class X Board Exams 'optional' :

Class X Boards should be abolished because -

1. The surmounting tension is intolerable (Parents are often more stressed out than the children and heap their worries and expectations on their children).

2. Presently, only re-tallying of marks is possible. In cases of students having good track records in school, a grievance redressing system (or simply re-checking) is nowhere to be seen.

3. When marks differ in decimals and when one feel cheated for not getting what one wanted despite achieving great results is unfair on his/her part.

4. Assessing a child on the basis of various scales (of the likes of sports/games, music, art, drama etc.) throughout the year will bear better results (after all, not every child born is necessarily a great academician, he/ she ought to be more than just that- beyond the limits of textbooks).

Class X Boards should not be abolished because -

1. It's a sweet nothing, it will simply postpone the fate (Having to sit for Boards in XII for the first time in a grand mix of career dilemma will only fuel to the rising tension!).

2. Without a standard exam, one doesn't know where he/she stands in this ever-increasing and ever-aspiring population that the mainland of India holds.

3. Appearing for these exams are not traumatic, it's coping with the dearth of opportunities, the fear of 'after-life' post poor results and the scarcity of seats that's traumatic.

4. Replacing percentages with percentiles (marks with grades) will not help a child secure a seat in a certain stream. We need more seats than the percentile system.

Our primary goal is to spread the word and to discuss to achieve constructive results. So, we urge you to bounce some ideas around and hence write as relevantly as you can to support the cause.

Curiously looking forward to a healthy debate here...
