The team from our school, comprising teachers and students, will visit the school Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Faversham, Kent,UK, as part of the Programme For Educational And Cultural Exchange(PEACE).

 NEWS PAPER IN EDUCATION (NIE)

The NIE Programme was conducted for the students of VI to X under the auspices of The Hindu and Times of India.

SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Only a life lived in the service to others is worth living.  As a noble gesture to instil the value of kindness towards fellow beings, the students of std V were taken to Sneha Sadanam, an Old age Home in Tripunithura.They distributed provisions collected from the students of std 4 and 5. Learning materials were distributed to a few needy students staying in our locality. Our students and staff donated clothes and blankets to  Adivasi Village at Wayanad.

PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)

No school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children's best interests. The PTA is functioning effectively under the able guidance of the PTA president Smt. Greeshma Udayan. We are obliged to them for their relentless support and guidance in all our endeavours.

The activities undertaken by them were

1. PTA distributed payasam to all students, teaching and non teaching staff of the school on the occasion of Onam

2. PTA sponsored the prizes given to the toppers in Anarghasangamam- Merit Evening 2022.

3. PTA sponsored jerseys  for the school athletic team.

4. PTA was kind enough to sponsor the amount of third AC (up and down) for the Kho Kho team who had gone to the National Kho Kho Championship in Punjab.

5. We are grateful to our PTA for sponsoring the prizes worth Rs 10000 for the Annual Day.

 

ALUMNI

 

No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the bond of those who are thoroughly aware of each other’s worth. One thing that makes an institution great is the friendships and memories created in the portals of the school. The Alumni Meet was held on 11 December 2022. Ex-students from across the batches were present. Around 200 alumni members participated. A friendly football match was also organised. The alumni have sponsored sports equipment to our school.

 

Innovation is the change that unlocks new values which leads to success. We continue to strive towards innovation and for that the latest practices in the field of education are being continuously incorporated.

This report is much more than a statement of the school’s activities and achievements in the last academic year. It is a reflection of the school ethos, an expression of the conviction and faith with which we pursue our goals and the very spirit with which we at present work.

At this juncture, I thank the Chairman, Director, Education and Research Wing,  the other members of the management committee, SMC and  the PTA whose prompt assistance and cooperation, encourage us to take this institution to greater heights. Let me place on record my deep appreciation to the untiring efforts of the committed team, the teaching and non-teaching staff of our school for discharging their duties in the best possible way. We are grateful to all the parents for their unswerving faith in us in transforming their children into responsible global citizens.

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain

An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind,

but many beautiful scenes are to be observed

from each new vintage point.

Thank you
