Co-Curricular Activities & Expeditions/Clubs

CO CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Co-curricular activities help students to understand and learn new skills and have enriching experiences. Our school lays emphasis on conducting co-curricular activities & establishing innovative clubs for making our students adapt in these skills.

HOUSE SYSTEM

The house system is a way to promote team spirit and a sense of belonging to the school. Also, this enables the senior students in the school to more systematically provide care and help to their junior schoolmates. The House System provides excellent opportunities for student leadership and peer group support, aided by dedicated staff members, and house captains. It is a remarkable medium for enabling students of different ages to bond together and operate as a cohesive family. The House system helps support and co-ordinate the corporate life of the school and develops the athletic side of school life along with the purely scholastic aspect, and thereby attains the goal of a liberal education, namely “a healthy mind in a healthy body”. The House system provides students with support and encouragement during their academic and co-curricular activities. The system provides an exciting division of the mass of pupils into units wherein each pupil has a rightful place and in which he takes pride. Houses are a common and successful way of building a superb school community and spirit. The houses compete in different sporting, cultural, and academic competitions, and provide an excellent way of meeting people outside one’s own class and age group, all of whom have a common goal and purpose. For a regular and smooth functioning of co-curricular activities and to provide a spur to the competitive spirit, the student of classes III - X are divided into four houses namely:

                          CORBETT                        CREATIVITY & COURAGE

GIR                                    PASSIONATE & ENERGETIC

KAZIRANGA                   WISDOM & LOYAL

PERIYAR                         RENEWAL & TRANQUIL

Each child from 3rd Class onwards will be placed in a House and will continue the same house till class VIII.  Each house will have a House Captain (Class VIII) and a Vice Captain (Class VII) to whom he/she may turn for assistance at any time. Each house will be assigned a house warden, who will head the house and monitor all the academic, co-curricular and intramural activities. Thus, House Warden will to able to monitor their student’s progress and cultivate positive relationships.
