School Picnic to Sanjeevaya Park (11/1/13)

Picnics give the needed relaxation after busy work. Sanjeevayya Park offered a beautiful landscape for the pleasure excursion on 11.1.12. It was a perfect picnic with every class carrying a picnic basket and a blanket to sit or recline on. Outdoor games, potluck and the scenic beauty of the venue contributed a lot of entertainment to the entire school.  The delight of children said it all, that they had a perfect outing with their friends, teachers and Principal and enjoyed their travel by school buses equally well.

Student Counseling Session (9/1/13)

A student counseling session was organized in Orchids for boys and girls of the senior classes separately on the 9^th of January. Mr. Guru Nadkarni emphasized that moral values are quite essential in our lives and education without values remains meaningless. It is very important to have our goals set and be focused in life. A clear purpose enables us to work hard for it with determination. Essential values of life never change with the change of time and they go into making a good human being. To become one is the ultimate goal of life. Being respectful to parents and elders, confiding in them and following their advice always gives a right direction in life. Adolescent age is very susceptible to peer pressure which forms a bad influence on the tender minds, distracting their attention from the desired.  Individuality must be safe-guarded even in a group and the company we keep has to be rightly chosen. Being thankful and satisfied and learning not to take anything for granted makes us appreciate and value the things that we are blessed with. Contentment is the source of happiness.

The counseling was very interesting with presentation and storytelling leaving an indelible message.
