Election Campaigning - The Future Leaders

June 2016

It is indeed a pleasure to present the rst edition of our e-

newsletter to you. The year 2015-16 was a rewarding

educational journey and we have set new paradigms for

the current year. The Scholastic year commenced with

events like over-night science camps, parent orientation

program and Investiture Ceremony.

We also introduced value based education. Value

education aims at revisiting values and making everyone

aware of the eroding values and participating in the

cause of nation building by contributing in moulding the

future generations.

We strive to sensitize our students to the needs of the

community and also to inculcate moral values which

enables them to become good human beings. Parents

Orientation was arranged for all the classes to provide an

insight about the school curriculum and the system of the

school. We recognise the important contribution that

parents play in the student's success. Investiture

Ceremony was also organized and Students Council was

formed to enable the students understand about

delegating authority and getting work done by others.

“A good leader takes a lile more than his share

of the blame, a lile less than his share of credit.”
