TEACHERS DAY PRIMARY

Yesterday, Tuesday the 4th September 2012 the Primary section had their Teachers' Day celebrations. It was a wonderful program planned and executed by a number of parents who were involved with the initiative of Mr. & Mrs. Sumeet Gupta the President of the Primary PTA.

It was indeed a day to be remembered by the teachers with the setting and backdrop really very well done by parents themselves.

The items by the boys were indeed excellent with the dances, music and choreography that was in sync with the rhythm and the music. Congrats to all the parents who gave so much of their time to train and prepare the program for the teachers.

The teachers had a ball of a time enjoying the songs, dance and the skit that had a number of jokes concerning the classroom.

One went out with a spirit of appreciation and thanks for all the work done as a Teacher. It was indeed a wonderful moment for a teacher as it gave them a breath of fresh air and the desire to go on teaching.

Thank you parents for your cooperation and help and for putting up a beautiful show for the teachers. God bless you!

CULTURAL DAY STANDARD III

On Saturday, 25th August 2012, the III standard had their Cultural Day and the theme for the evening was 'Media and Entertainment' The two teachers who trained the lads, Mrs. Rosalin Ambrose and Mrs. Marina Corda, did an excellent job together with a number of parents who helped with their time.

These little lads did some serious thinking putting before the crowd questions such as: 'How the media is affecting them as individuals and as a society!' 

They also spoke about the facts of the use of mobiles and the dangers involved.

They enacted a play which highlighted the pros and cons of Media and Entertainment in our day to day lives leaving each one of us with a beautiful message.

The song by Bob Marley 'One Love One Heart' set the mood and the tone of the Cultural day.

Congrats little ones for this beautiful message.

IX A CLASS ASSEMBLY

This morning Wednesday 22 August 2012, the IX A students took us through the life of Vikram, a young lad who lost out on his childhood as he had to work to support his family. He also missed out on school as he did not have to time to go to school, working to have a square meal a day.

The Compere informed us that India is a country of contrasts! While it has 53 billionaires, it also has an estimated 17 million child labourers. The country is home to some of the tip 10 rich in the world, but it also homes almost 3 million children living on the streets.

The IX standard students made us aware of the situation of the marginalized and poor child and gave us sufficient food for thought, not just to think but to do something about the situation and work towards making the life or a single child worthwhile.

Those of us who go to school and are taken care of by our parents are the fortunate lot who should be grateful for all that we receive. It is not enough that we are comfortable and complacent about our own living we need to do something for the less fortunate. What can we do?

Like Declan in the play, we could assist one child towards his/her education and sponsor a child in whatever way we can.

Thank you IX standard students for your thought provoking presentation…let our thoughts lead us and spur us on to action.
