Co-curricular activities
True education is training the body, the mind and the
soul. Aiming towards excellence in sports, the school
provides its students a multitude of opportunities to
choose a sport of their choice. Professional instructors
and coaches train our children in a range of sporting
activities like football, basketball, cricket, table
tennis, judo and athletics.
Creative forms of expression serve as nourishment for
the soul. Music enriches the soul and symbolises the
language of love. Students may choose to learn the guitar,
drums or the keyboard as part of their creative co-curricular
activities. They could also choose activities like pottery
and carpentry, speech and drama, graphic art and public
speaking. Those who are inclined towards the performing
arts are encouraged to take up theatre or jazz dancing.
All these activities are conducted under the guidance
of trained experts.
The creative writing classes of the
school are designed to encourage students to express
their thoughts and ideas creatively. The objective being,
to exploit the creative and aesthetic features of language
in them.
Debating is encouraged as an integral part of co-curricular
activities. The ABMUN (Aditya Birla Model United Nations)
is an annual feature. Gifted students are identified
and encouraged to attend summer camps organised by the
SIG.
Community service is also an important part of the all-round
development of the students. To widen perspectives and
to encourage the spirit of international mindedness
there are class assemblies and presentations whereby
global issues are taken up, researched, discussed and
presented.
Knowledge based education influences
the brain and value based education influences the heart.
The life skill programme is welded into the curriculum.
It helps children imbibe universal values like fearlessness,
purity of mind, patriotism and truth. Discussions on
life management skills, improving the power of concentration
and self confidence are held during these classes. Insights
into our rich culture and national heritage are also
provided to our pupils through celebration of festivals.
Yoga forms an integral part of the curriculum. The inclusion
is aimed not only at improving the physical fitness
of our pupils but also at enhancing their concentration
and alertness.
