MYTHOCUTION: The students of classes XI & XII were given an opportunity to develop confidence and put forth their views in a clear and concise manner by speaking on any one of the topics given below.

• Dussehra – Symbol of Victory of Virtue over Sin
Dussehra illumination/festivities will ignite COVID-19 cases in the country. But don’t you think it is because of the greed of man that today the mankind itself is bearing the wrath of nature through natural disasters and such a Pandemic?
• Though Covid -19 has been a dampener for most of the festivities this year but as hundreds of years ago, victory was attained over evil, therefore, we are hopeful that in this era too, we will achieve freedom from this dreadful disease soon.
• In contemporary times, there seems to be an air of gloom, due to an all -pervading communal atmosphere, gender-based violence and the pandemic. While the current paranoia is difficult to overcome, perhaps inspiration could be drawn from the victories of Durga and Rama over Mahishasura and Ravana.
• How about burning an effigy of #MeToo along with Ravana?

The presentations by the students helped in reconnect to their culture and traditions.

Queen's Convent join hands to save sparrows

A Sparrow Nest Making workshop was conducted in Queen Convent Delhi, Sec-25 on 30 August 2017 by a renowned environmentalist, Rakesh Khatri. He believes that artificial nests made of eco-friendly material such as coconut fibre, jute thread and bamboo sticks can help sparrows sustain themselves in cities. “Small birds such as Sparrows, are vanishing from cities because of increasing urbanization. Since we are encroaching on their natural habitat, we need to create alternative spaces for them. Hanging artificial nests to welcome them into our lives is one way”, Khatri said.

The students were not only taught how to make artificial nests but were also made aware of the depletion of the number of the aerial species family, day by day. They were also sensitized to the efforts that they can take at their small levels which will reap benefit in the long run.

This activity was a novel one. Till now the students had only been informed of the decrease in the number of Sparrows. But now they have been taught the way to make nests which would encourage this small bird to renew its relationship with humans. This activity instilled in the students love and respect for nature and its creatures. The activity was very interesting and useful.
