School activity

Houses

The students are divided into four houses from the morning section itself. The Houses are Radhakrishnan, Vivekananda, Tilak and Vidyasagar. The Houses conduct assemblies, take charge over all cleanliness, discipline and decoration of the school, each house is supervised by a House In-charge assisted by a team of teachers.

VIDYASAGAR HOUSE

MOTTO : Humanity and Fraternity

Humanity means compassion, benevolence, brotherly love, fellow feeling for others. It is such a unique quality that makes the human beings different from other creatures. It helps the human beings to give and receive love to others and this is a quality which everyone must imbibe within themselves to rectify the current state of hatred and communalism.

Fraternity means a group of people sharing a common profession or interest. It also includes the friendship and mutual support within a group, the companionship among each and everyone and kinship.

The idol of our house is Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar who has imbibed within himself and followed these principles throughout his life. Students of our Vidyasagar House are instructed to imbibe and inculcate these merits so that they can achieve their desired goal of life.

RADHAKRISHNAN HOUSE

MOTTO : Honesty, Liberty, Equality

Man comprises virtues and vices. When one’s motto is governed by veritable virtues, he becomes an epitome of morality and perfection.

Liberty – Liberty is freedom from the bondage of sin.

“Freedom of thought and actions together, yet founded by a few restrictions is Liberty.”

Honesty – “Good thinking, believing and ability to analyse oneself after commitment leads to the best virtue.”

“Equality is a broad term that relates to every aspect, conditions and approaches of life and means equilibrium among all human beings irrespective of religion, cast, creed and clan. Patron – Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan is the honorable patron of Yellow House from whom we drive the name. We commemorate him on his birthday (5th Sep.) which is also known as Teachers’ Day. This day is enlivened and culturally devoted through the joint efforts of the house members, students and the co-operation of our prestigious institution.

Schools are the initial and absolute media to develop a student’s mind which results in the realisation of his virtues. Here, in our school, we are privileged to develop the virtues of students through house wise cultural and educational activities, that is anticipated to convert the potentiality of the students into actuality.

TILAK HOUSE

MOTTO : Onward with Honour

Life means moving onward keeping pace with the time. Mobility is one of the many attributes of life with honor as a concept of entailing a perceived quality of worthiness and respectability that affects both the social standing and the self evaluation of an individual. A human life becomes meaningful only when it aims at attaining the ultimate truth knowing and identifying the divine power already within oneself and finally becoming complete through all means are essential factors in one’s life.

It is possible through manifestation of moral, spiritual and ethical upliftment of one’s soul capable of shouldering responsibilities towards God, their family, their fellow men and their country. Onward march with Honour towards perfection and progress is depicted in the motto of Tilak House[Green House].

VIVEKANANDA HOUSE

Education is the tool to pass on knowledge, skill, wisdom and school is the roof under which it is delivered. Education enables on individual to appreciate the finer things in life and the beauty of the world. The school is the best place to use those resources.

We need a change from imitation to innovation from uniformity to diversity. Creative thinking of a student is essential to meet the challenges of life. So, education of a child cannot be limited to the cognitive domain. Social living is equally important. While imparting school education we should not forget the holistic vision of education.

Learning to Know.

Learning to Do.

Learning to Live with each other.

Learning to Be.

In our school we have been given a great opportunity to fulfill these aspects. Dividing the children into groups, who in-turn work as a system of network. This networking uplifts a student’s cultural, behavioral, aesthetic and moral development. The different house activities, convert the potentiality of the student into actuality. As house members, our major aim is to provide an environment where students follow their intellectual persistence with a few restrictions as possible. It has always been our motto to exculture and train pupils for specialized role in a formalized way.

“…….. (education) central aim is the building of power of the human mind and spirit….” – Sri Aurobindo

Co- curricular Activities

To generate the healthy competition for all round development of the child throughout the school a rich co-curricular programme of sports, dance, music, art, drama and hobby classes run parallel to the academic curriculum. Inter house and Inter class competitions are conducted in handwriting, debate, Poem- recitation, dance, music, drawing, outdoor & indoor games etc.

Special emphasis is given for attaining excellence in co-curricular activities.

In addition to this, the School has a wing for Scouts and Guides

Games and other co-curricular activities are given preference over other personal activities. Pupils selected to pay their School / Class teams have to attend practice session.

Moral Education

We are fully aware of the important of moral education for the children and it is an inseparable part of the school activities. Every effort is made to develop desirable attitudes and finer qualities of behaviour of the students.
