The Pre-Primary children of our school had a frolicking time on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd February on the school grounds – it was ‘Rock Sports Day’ for them. Experiencing this kind of sport in the school campus itself was a thrill for the children.

The Rocksporter volunteers led the children into different camp sports – Rock climbing, Burma Bridge walking, Magical Maze, Hop Scotch, Commando Net, Lazer Beam, Commando Crawl, Hamster Wheel, Double Rope Bridge. It was the works!!

The candy floss and popcorn machines too had a busy day to feed the children. They enjoyed the sandwiches made by their teachers as well. This was indeed a unique experience for the little ones who had a fun-filled day!

Savitribai Phule Celebration

Savitribai Phule Celebration

On Tuesday 3rd January, our school celebrated the birth anniversary of Savitribai Phule. The assembly that day was conducted with prayers for the girl child’s right to education and women’s empowerment. In honour of Savitribai, a video was shown on her life. One of the student gave a speech on her and dressed like her too.

The students were given information about Savitribai – She was known as India’s ‘first female teacher’. Noticing the plight of women in our country, she was determined to change it for the better. She pioneered the education of women and backward class communities in our country. Along with her husband Jyotirao Phule, she started a school for girls in Pune.

Enlightened by this knowledge about her, the students realized the importance of education and to value it.
