The Compassion project was a great programme undertaken by the Middle School kindhearted crew. The housekeeping staff along with gardeners & security guards were acknowledged for their service. To make our celebration inclusive and meaningful, tri-colour badges were pinned, snacks were distributed and blessings were sought.

 

Theme: Tri Colour Palm printing and Incredible India (Pre-Primary)

Tri Colour Palm printing activity created awareness about the National Flag among the kindergarten patriots. It also invoked the feeling of patriotism in the young minds.

The students also were made aware of how vivid is the wild life in India. A model was created to make the students understand the ideal and safe environmental conditions for the survival of the animals.

 

Theme: Mahotsav (Middle School VI-VIII)

A simple act of decoration can spread festive patriotism among all is what we witnessed in school today. The much-awaited celebration entails a lot of preparation involving display board decorations, wall decoration with streamers and origami crafts. The idea was to give each part of the school a distinct Independence Day vibe.

‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ stickers were stuck on all 32 buses.

They were given a free and open platform to come forward and speak about the problems they had been facing and the way they chose to cope with it.

 Since we all believe that adolescence is like a delicate glass mug which has to be handled with care, this programme proved to be an enriching session, in which the learners could relate and interact with each other.
