ANNUAL REPORT 2010 – 11

Let me offer my humble pranams to Poojya Gurudev and I would like to submit the annual report of the ongoing academic year 2010-11. Proudly speaking about our board exams as usual there is 100% result.  Our first ICSE batch appeared for the board examination last year .  out of 30 students 16 secured distinction and 14 students  passed in first class.  Arya A Topped with 87% mark. 

                                 This academic year was flagged off on 2^nd June2010.  Activity oriented curriculum has been followed  in the K G section  since 2005.  it is based on 123 skills.  Each day the K G students begin their activities with special assembly and each child is being given a chance to prove their abilities in the assembly.  To inculcate the importance of fruits we celebrated fruits day on     16-08-10.  As part of the nature walk, they visited balasram on 10-11-2010.

                                 Overall development of the students has always been the prime objective of the school and with  this in mind various co curricular activities are being planned.  The students are divided into four houses – Ganga, Yamuna, Krishna and Kaveri.  Monthly each house takes turn for keeping discipline, punctuality , cleanliness, assemblies and other programmes.  The evaluation was done by the principal and the best house on duty was the Yamuna House.

                                 The next priority is being given for the academic excellence.  Regular assessments, class tests and terminal examinations help to identify the weak spots of a child and remedial classes also being arranged for the weak students.  In the beginning of the academic year itself , an academic council – which include the   principal and the head of the departments has been constituted with an objective to co – ordinate all the curricular and co – curricular activities.  Teachers were exposed to workshops and seminars organized by various  publishers.

 Best Practices

• Everyday K.G section begins with an assembly & do Brain Gym exercise
• To improve General Knowledge everyday class teacher writes a G.K question & answer on the news corner of the board. It will remain in the board till evening. Students keep a separate notebook to record & the knowledge is tested twice in a year  .
• Remedial teaching for the weak students.
• Housewise assembly.

 I am submitting this in the lotus feet of poojya  Gurudev  Swami Chnmayananda. 

Thank you

Hari ! Om !!
