July-August’ 2020
Online education is
like a rising tide, it's
going to lift all
boats.
SCHOOL ON ‘ONLINE MODE’
The phrase ’The show must go on ‘ aptly describes the firm belief of our
school that education is a continuous process and it can happen anytime
and anywhere .As students cannot reach to school so we are reaching to
them via online classes. In these difficult times, our teachers have
adapted new styles of teaching methodology and are successfully
imparting education to our students. We yet do not know when schools will
be safe to open physically .Till then e-teaching will be the new way of
teaching. Our students are well engaged in virtual classrooms .Our
teachers have been very innovative and cooperative and they will continue
teaching our students when the school reopens physically .Our school
should run smoothly not hampering learning of our students as it is
difficult to bridge the gap if the continuum breaks. Virtual classes have
been resumed from 1 July 2020.

impact on the mind, heart and soul of the students. On the propitious occasion

praiseworthy verses to stress upon the eminent role played by a teacher in
the life of a student. A mesmerizing dance rendition was also presented by
the students of class VI to VIII to pay reverence to the teachers.

YOUTH DAY
Cleanliness is a mind-set -a positive habit that keeps the body, mind and
environment happy, healthy, simple, neat and delightful. Gandhiji once
remarked “So long as you do not take the broom and the bucket in your hands,
you cannot make your towns and cities clean."He made cleanliness and
sanitation an integral part of the Gandhian way of living. His dream was total
sanitation for all. The Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation organised a
week-long campaign from August 8,2020 to August 15, 2020.The campaign
substantiated the commitment towards building a cleaner & healthier future.
Our adorable GVians gave wings to their imagination and portrayed their ideas
on canvas on the theme 'Gandagi Mukt Bharat' and assured that they would
give a neat and clean India to the 'Father of the Nation' who gave us freedom
and never compromised on cleanliness.
