The Newsletter of Venkateshwar International School, Sector -10, Dwarka

Our PathfindersKeeping in pace with the modern era and still remaining rooted in the pillars of intrinsic values is the ultimate challenge of today’s education. We have endeavoured to leave no stone unturned to provide optimum facilities and opportunities for the realization of the potential of every student in which ever field they aspire to blossom. Our firm belief in persistence, perseverance, honesty and the benign blessings of Lord Venkateshwar gives us the strength and courage to face new horizons and soar higher and higher in the skies of success.

In today’s self-centered, restless and materialistic society, there is an urgent and grave need to re-look at life in its purest form of undiluted love, peace and bliss.My endeavour at V.I.S is to introduce the students to the deeper and real meaning of life in today’s age of cut-throat competition and to instill life skills in students to face the harsh challenges of the world outside so that they- ... don’t feel lonely in a crowd ... have the courage to stand up for their convictions, even if alone... realize that character is more important than

personality and ... remain emotionally calm when taking crucial

decisions

April - October 2015

Teachers, Parents, Friends... we all can make a difference in the lives of people we interact with. Let us commit oursleves to leave a positive impact on the minds of our children.

Director - Mrinalini Kaura

Chairman -Sri Rajpal

From the Director’s Desk...

The mantra of our School is to initiate holistic development. Great educationists and saints have advocated that unfurling the latent, inherent talents of an individual and harnessing it to enhance the mental, physical and emotional quotient of a child is the need of the hour. We tirelessly strive to fulfill the dreams and aspirations of every child to grow and reach out for the stars.

Vice Chairman - Mr. Kamal Solanki

VIS has been ranked 2nd in West Delhi by

Times of India School Survey 2015

VIS offers world-class infrastructure, unmatched academic environment, innovative teaching techniques, dedicated personalized care and opportunities for a lifetime of learning. The school believes in broadening horizons, encouraging out of the box thinking and problem solving skills, right at the initial years. We motivate students to dream and aspire for the very best in the world and be the agents of change and progress in the years to come.

With the foresight into the skills required for the world of tomorrow, the ambience of VIS is focussed towards moulding all rounders, multi-taskers, trendsetters, go-getters, well groomed personalities with a vision. In brief, be LEADERS in whatever they do.

I have been given the unique opportunity to guide, motivate and mentor the children to become academically better students, better sons and daughters, better sports persons, better musicians, better dancers, better artists and most importantly BETTER HUMAN BEINGS. Partnership of parents with the school in following this mantra is most significant to make this journey in school beautiful and poignant.Together let’s make the difference.

02

The actual fulfillment of education is the holistic development of an individual traversing body, mind and soul. In the era of Globalisation and development, the young generation should be mentally strong and socially responsible too. And this is what we constantly endeavour to achieve in VIS through a strong value education programme. We firm-ly believe that education should help cultivate true human beings with sound ethical and moral values which will help them find solutions to the challenges of life.

Comprehensive character building education programme coupled with motivational workshops and activities held regularly in the school aim towards sensitizing the young minds in the best possible man-ner. Thus, we strive to create an exemplary teaching learning environ-ment which nurtures the child and echoes the powerful thoughts of Swami Vivekananda, “the end of all education, all training, should be man-making.” “Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man”. VIS will constantly strive in the pursuit of this noble thought.

Visit to the NGO - UTTHAN

The ‘Conserve My Planet’ Program puts students in the driver’s seat, helping them understand how they can make changes today that will help everyone tomorrow. They learnt how to minimize energy use, hence empowering them to make the changes necessary to be energy smart in the schools.During the very first session of ‘Conserve My Campus’ organised by the ‘Schneider Electric,’ a number of influencing presentations were shown to the children followed by a small ‘thumb print’ activity and words of inspiration from the organising authorities of Schneider Electric.Around 70 students from the school, the green ambassadors, were first shown inspiring videos as to teach them the importance of energy conservation and how they can contribute to a ‘better tomorrow.’ The first video showcased ‘In Diya’ which is a innovative product initiative taken by Schneider so as to provide energy savers and lights in the villages of India. The second video showcased how we can help save energy at an individual level- by switching off appliances when not in use, keeping a regular check on the metre, spreading awareness about this nation-wide issue, etc.This was an enriching experience for all the green ambassadors and their active participation very clearly depicted their enthusiasm and excitement towards Saving the Planet Earth.

On 19 August 2015, students of the School visited a NGO – Utthan,which support and educate children who were found doing child labour. It is located in the narrow congested lanes of Old Delhi. After beingwelcomed warmly by the teachers and children the manager Ms Charu Sethi told us how this NGO was set up. She also brought to light, a shocking revelation on Drug Abuse. “Drug abuse is the hidden root cause for most cases of child labour in such areas.” After setting up the NGO it wasnoticed that a lot of children who came for tuition or other classes were school dropouts. The concerned team did case studies on such children and their families. In

the end, it was concluded that 60%-70% of the children had dropped out of school because their fathers were addicted to drugs and they used to beat their mothers. Due to all the tensions in the family, the childrenhad to leave school.Afterthis, their mothers forced them to work as domestic helps, cleaners or sweepers to earn the livelihood.

Design For Change is an award winning global movement led by the children to bring about a change in the society headed by Rahul Bose (an actor and activist). The program also enhances confidence and self-belief among children. Students move from a mindset of “CAN I?” to “I CAN”. People in Delhi nowadays just aren’t fit and healthy anymore. When we turn the pages of newspaper, we come across many cases of illnesses, deaths and many more mishaps due to dengue, malaria etc. So we the students and teachers of Venkateshwar International School (VIS), Sec-10, Dwarka, Delhi sat together to think about the sensitive issue of cleanliness and health that the people of lower income group faces. At VIS, we created a next-to-perfect plan to start our drive towards “safe and clean” environment for the under privileged people and following activities were undertaken.• CleanedtheareaofManglapuriSadhNagar–IIincludingthedrains and picked up the garbage as well.• VisitedtheMCDofficeandupdatedtheinformation.• Providedfreemedicalcamptotheresidentsfortwodayswiththe help of doctors.• PerformedNukkadNataktospreadtheawarenessofliving healthy and fit life.• Distributedbasicnecessitieslikeodomos,repellantcreams, biscuits, Horlicks, tooth paste, bursh & medicines etc. to poor and needy.

On March 20, 2015, one of my dreams accidently came true when I met with thelegendaryastronautSunitaWilliams–apersonholdingrecordssuchasthemaximum space walk time by a woman and rewards like the prestigious Padma Bhushan. Being a woman of incessant experience, her thoughts and ideas worked as a portion of motivation for our hearts and souls. Sunita was a soft-spoken and gentlewoman who satisfied our queries with the greatest patience. We asked various questions pertaining to our interests and social topics like women empowerment. I also made Mrs. Williams reflect upon her love for India. Her responses were a source of encouragement for all of us. This session was concluded by her exit from the auditorium but indeed, her presence inspired many students to take up astronomy as their future profession.

Awareness on Drug AbuseOn Monday, 23 March 2015, Dr. Rajiv Sharma, consultant psychiatrist from AIIMS conducted a workshop for students of class XII on the topic, ‘Drug Abuse’. Dr. Rajiv specializes in de-addiction. His sole purpose of conducting the workshop was to sensitize the students about the issues related to drugs. He talked about the peer pressure and the ‘gateway’ drug that eventually turns a person into an addict. The workshop was extremely informative and enlightening. It enlisted a lot of famous personalities

who cure drug addicts and had become successful only because they could quit and say ‘No’ to drugs. Students listened with complete attention as they could connect with Dr. Rajiv quite effectively. The workshop was highly interactive and successful.

A sanctuary where we indulge in knowledge, And thrive under our mentors’ tutelage,

The mentors who leave no stone unturned, To help us excel in what we learn.

Our School is a building with tomorrow inside,It instills in us a sense of grandeur and pride.

Childhood memories are fragmentary without school,We discover friends’ even more precious than a jewel.

Where we learn to stand out, our minds nourishedTo lend a hand to others, our souls enriched.

Where creativity blossoms into a new creationCulminating in this century’s modernization.

‘What are dreams’ you ask?A visionary scheme or a perplex task

An anticipated state of happiness under a mask,The glow of success in which we wish to bask.

The dream to achieve milestones countless.To ascertain that nothing halts our progress,

To live a life where we never feel blue,This,my friends, is the place where dreams come true.

-by Khushi Jain and Sheya Basak Class XII
