SPECIAL ASSEMBLY

GALLERY

Dear Parents,

Greetings of the season!

It is that time of the year when we sit back and reflect on our actions which could be

improved, improvised and bettered. There is always scope for improvement in all we do so

with the an eye for improvement we make new year resolutions but those resolutions

take a back seat after a few days. Let us make some practical, doable and achievable

resolutions which bear fruits of value addition for all stakeholders. I would like to make

learning more practical, hands on, collaborative and experiential project based. The

purpose is to bring about a change subtly but steadily and make the learners experiential

learners instead of training them rote memorization. Change is the only permanent thing

and we need to go on and blend with the world where humongous transition is on way to

bring about a practical, vocational and concept learning on the students platter. If we do

not move with the change time will crush us. The need of education is not to churn out

literate individuals but individuals who can face the world in adversity and come out

victorious as they would have been trained to face failures and manage success. A skill or

hobby must be acquired by every student in the area of his/her interest and encouraged

to pursue it. The student must be encouraged to hold responsibility for his actions and

decisions. There is a paradigm shift in the way we practice education which should be a

learning process of acquiring values, discipline, skills and their own experiences. Learning

by self experiences is the biggest teacher. So let us allow our students to ponder, think,

meditate, initiate and question. Our endeavor must be to provide them a 360 degree

learning environment of self-expression and evaluation. Every child must be encouraged

to read, invest in books this will take them a long way.

Wishing you all Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
