House System

Mother Teresa

Helen Keller

Sarojini Naidu

Florence Nightingale

“Great Personalities leave greatest mark in one’s life”

Personalities like Florence Nightingale, Helen Keller, Mother Teresa and Sarojini Naidu are the role models in our lives. They all together in unison perceive togetherness, love, humanity, courage, determination, etc.

Thus, in order to inculcate all such values in our students and to make them humane, the school has divided the students in four houses namely Florence Nightingale (Selflessness), Helen Keller (Determination), Mother Teresa (Kindness) and Sarojini Naidu (Integrity).

Each house has four house coordinators and wardens to guide the students. To foster a spirit of leadership, co-operation, mutual understanding, tolerance and self- reliance various inter house activities are organized to build up team spirit. Besides this, the students are initiated into community service and social work. The House system gives opportunities to students to face the challenges of Inter-house competitions as well as competitions organized by various other reputed schools.

Various activities such as dramatics, quiz, group competitions, singing, etc are organized not only to tap the talents of the students but to give them a wider horizon to grow.

The four houses are vested with the responsibility of carrying out the co-curricular activities smoothly in the school. Be it the Intra School functions, inter/intra class and inter- house competitions, conducting the assemblies, ensuring proper uniform, etc.

Moreover, the entire disciplinary rules of the school are based on the house system.

Student Council is one of the most important disciplinary body working under the house system. Selection of the head girls, vice head girls, house captains and prefects are the accountability of the house coordinators.

Christmas Celebrations 2021

Whose heart doth hold the Christmas glow
Hath little need of Mistletoe;
Who bears a smiling grace of mien
Need waste no time on wreaths of green;
Whose lips have words of comfort spread
Needs not the holly-berries red—
His very presence scatters wide
The spirit of the Christmastide.

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...and so
May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love.

And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

Report on Dussehra Celebrations

Dussehra- is the festival of victory of good over evil. According to Hindu mythology, it is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Lord Rama over the demon Ravana. This festival teaches us that truth and righteousness always win. Therefore, to help inculcate these values in our students, a virtual celebration was organized through various activities conducted on Thursday, 22 October 2020.

LET’S BURN THE RAAVANA INSIDE US: The students of classes I to XII were asked to introspect and try to find out that one feeling, habit or trait in each of themselves, which they think is not right. Then they were encouraged to promise themselves that on this Dusshera, they will discard it and burn it along with burning effigy of demon Raavana. The students then shared their thoughts with the rest of the class through the Class Whatsapp groups.

THE EPIC TALES: The students of classes I & II were shown an animated Story on Ramayana, with the teacher narrating it simultaneously for better understanding of the children.

THE SAGA OF THE PAST: The students of class III were asked to recite a poem on the theme ‘Victory of Good over Evil’. While reciting the poems, most of the students used beautiful props to make their presentation more interesting.

THE DIVINE DRAMA: The students of class IV were asked to pick up any one character from the Ramayana and dramatize it or speak a few lines. The students dressed up as the characters of the great saga namely-Dashratha, Kaikayee, Rama, Laxmana, Sita, Raavana and Hanuman.

CULTURAL INTEGRATION: India is a land of varied cultures and the same festival is celebrated in different ways across regions and states. Therefore, to make the students respect this cultural diversity of our country, the students were taken on a virtual trip in which they were shown the celebration of Dussehra in different cities/states like Delhi, Punjab, Kota, Mysore, Kullu, Durga Puja of Kolkata, Kerala and Navratri (Garba) of Gujarat. This was followed by an open discussion in which the students spoke about their observation of the different celebrations, what they liked about them and how they are different from the way it is done in their city.

KATHAKARITA: The students of class VI narrated stories from the Ramayana based on the values

A friend in need is a friend indeed / Vipda mein saath de wahi sachcha mitr
Unity is Strength/ ekta mein bal hai
Pride is the reason for destruction/ pride comes before a fall/ Ghamand vinash ka karan hai

RAHO NA YOUN MAUN, BATAO MAIN HOON KAUN: The students of classes VII & VIII presented dialogues based on a particular character from the Ramayana without revealing the name of the character. The rest of the class identified and named the character being presented

EPIC-QUIZ QUIZ BASED ON RAMAYANA: The students of Classes IX & X were shown four short stories from the Ramayana. This was followed by a quiz in the form of Goggle form which was given to the students to ascertain their level of understanding and knowledge about the epic – Ramayana.

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
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.

Report on Art Integrated Learning Course on DIKSHA App

Platform: DIKSHA

Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is a teaching – learning model based on learning ‘ through the arts’. This course focuses on enabling the learner to learn and practice AIL in teaching – learning of his/ her subjects. It also implies adopting an art integrated curriculum where art becomes the basis of classroom learning.

As the focus is always holistic development of a child- means domains of cognitive, psychomotor and affective work together for the child. This is the main objective of Art integration with the curriculum wherein, multidisciplinary approach can be developed, thereby, resulting in joyful and experiential learning.

To support the concept, varied examples of different activities are given in the module. This helped us in understanding, how different subjects can be placed in relation to each other. Many more such activities can be formulated by integrating art across classes and subjects for the benefits of the students. This will surely help in clarifying difficult and abstract concepts with ease and will foster a sense of appreciation and expression through different forms of art.

AIL involves working on all the three domains of holistic development simultaneously, which fulfills the pedagogical need of competency – based learning and the outcomes. It is a cross – curricular pedagogical approach, where the learners are proactively engaged in the creative inquiry process.

This online course on Health and Well Being was successfully completed by all the staff members of our school.

The following stereotypes were highlighted through this presentation:-

As a child, boys get toys like trucks, guns and super heroes while the girls are given dolls and cooking sets.
This conditioning manipulates young minds into believing that they must act within their “given place” in the society.
Allow boys to express their emotions, encourage them to be expressive. Involve them in activities like gardening and cooking.
Expose girls to role models of women in business, especially those outside the stereotype, like doctors, scientists and leaders.
These role models will help girls to see themselves in professions outside the normal stereotypes.

Report on Awakened Citizen Programme

"Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man.”

The Awakened Citizen Programme is a unique value education programme for children of the secondary level which aims to manifest moral values in each and every citizen of the country. The programme is a powerful media to harness the infinite potential within an individual. The aim of the Programme is to empower students, make them think and take independent decisions and develop as enlightened citizens. The two days workshop to this new approach to value education under the ‘Awakened Citizen Program’ conducted by Ramakrishna Mission was attended by Ms. Y.S. Neetu and Ms. Mamta Sharma at Ramakrishna Mission Asharam, Karol Bagh on 11 and 12 May 2018. They were trained to impart the programme at the school level as facilitators and guide the students to explore the power within.

Day One began with an introduction to the ‘Awakened Citizen Program’. The central theme of the Awakened Citizen Program was possibilities with three-fold vision – Universal Possibilities, Knowledge Possibilities and Physical Possibilities that are at the disposal of every child but need to be tapped. During the training session, the resource persons, with the help of Power Point Presentation, emphasized on the infinite potential in every individual which can be manifested as excellence in every walk of life. The content and teaching methodology of the Programme were based on extensive research and explained very well by the Resource Persons. The session was very interactive and inspiring and gave an insight into effective facilitation practices.

On Day Two, teachers were divided into groups of three and four and were given various topics. Ample time was given for discussion within the group, mock presentation and then the final presentation with the help of a Power Point Presentation. It turned out to be very interesting as it evoked a wonderful response from the teachers. Discussions, counter questions, all these helped the teachers to have a better understanding of the programme and also how to conduct the sessions effectively in their own classes and to make such sessions fruitful for students.
