Message From Principal
Dear Parents and Students,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our school website.
As Principal I am hugely impressed by the commitment of the management and the staff for providing excellent all-round education for our students. As a team working together, we strongly promote academic achievement among our students.
A word to dear parents
A parent can be instrumental in the child's growth -----
Parents' involvement in their children’s education is absolutely essential to their eventual success. Not the size of the school, the number of science labs, the size of library or how many great teachers there are! But none is as significant as the effect parents can have.
Here are some determining guidelines:-
- Be on the lookout for common signs of stress such as trouble in sleeping, change of mood, loss of appetite, skin ailments, and stomach upset.
- Be patient, controlled and calm in the run up to examinations. Anxiety is infectious.
- Make sure there is place available at home where the student can work alone.
- Make it clear that your son or daughter is valued for reasons entirely unconnected with academic progress.
- Praise commitment as well as success. Show interest in their achievements outside school work also.
- Avoid offering rewards such as money, clothes, bikes and cars. Young people may feel that they are being manipulated and it might stop them developing interest in the subject for its own mistake. So let’s join hands and make a difference!
What parents should do:-
- Ensure good family environment.
- Regular monitoring of children is essential.
- Appreciation and encouragement
- Follow a patient approach.
- Encourage him at every step and monitor his progress not only as a critic but by patting and occasional hugs and motivational suggestions.
- Identify their positive traits and appreciate them. The synonym of parenting is patience. As a councillor parents need a high degree of patience especially when dealing with adolescents because this is the age of considerable stress for a child.
- A patient hearing of the child's viewpoint helps in encouraging his creativity which as often has lost in cut throat competition.
- Allowing children to develop in natural way is sure to have a long lasting impact. So allow them to experiment in their own way but within a logical framework.
- The secret of success, is an “I CAN” attitude. Let them talk freely on their likes and dislikes once in a while. Sit with them and prepare their achievement’s list. Even if it contains only few items at present, it will motivate them to achieve more and more.
MISTAKES ARE THE STEPPING STONES TO LEARNING!
- “All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes”
- Some of us regret our mistakes every moment of everyday, but smart people learn from their mistakes. But then, wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Learning from mistakes is the best way to self-education.
EXTINCTION OF FIRST HAND EXPERIANCE IN SCHOOL GOING CHILDREN IN TODAYS WORLD
When children are allowed to play freely their first choice is to flee to the nearest wild/open place whether it is a big tree or bushy area in the yard nearby.
They spend bulk of their recreation time outdoor using sidewalls, streets, playground, park, greenways and other places.
Children today are much different. They are having few opportunities for outdoor free play and regular contact with the natural world.
Their physical boundaries are shrunk. A culture of fear is prevailing and parents are afraid of their children’s safety.
Children’s lives have become structured and scheduled by adults, who hold the mistaken belief that this sport or that lesson will make their children more successful as adults.
The culture of playing outside is gone and children’s everyday life has shifted to the indoors.
As a result, children’s opportunities for direct contact with nature is vanishing or we can call it imprisonment. Not only children’s playing environment is changed but their time of playing has also decreased.
The importance of children’s interaction with nature.
It is well known fact that the natural environment has profound effect on the wellbeing of adults, including better psychological wellbeing. The finding indicates that children who are in contact with nature score higher on tests of concentration and self-discipline.
Children who play regularly in natural environments show more advanced motor fitness, including coordination, balance and agility, and they are sick less often.
Exposure to natural environments improves children’s cognitive development by improving their awareness, reasoning and observational skills.
Outdoor environment is important for children’s development of independence and autonomy.
Children can benefit significantly by maximising both the informal play and formal learning opportunities that natural schoolyard offers children. When natural schoolyards are also integrated with the full curriculum, they enhance both children’s academics and environmental education.
I hope you enjoy your visit to the website
