School Trips
Students from each grade have the opportunity to go for educational and fun trips within the city and also outside it.
Students from grade 4 onwards undertake outstation trips every year. Besides the huge learning that students carry back from the great outdoors, they develop a close bond with teachers and friends.
Circle time
Circle Time activities act as team building exercises that enhance the self esteem of the children. The teacher acts as the facilitator during the class. Each child is encouraged to speak and voice his/her views while the others learn the importance of listening. The skills promoted are looking, speaking, listening, thinking and concentrating. It creates a positive atmosphere in the class and also develops a sense of belonging.
Discovery Hour
An hour of observing, experimenting and learning through, as the name suggests-discovering! Activities that promote these skills with an element of fun are incorporated into the time table. After giving the instructions, the teacher acts as the facilitator while the children work and draw conclusions independently or as a team.
