HAMARA SCHOOL
Nankana Sahib Public School was started as an English medium co-educational school on July 17, 1978, in the campus of Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College by the Nankana Sahib Education Trust under the initiative of Mr Kishan Singh Gill, Director, with the aim of providing quality basic education on public school lines to rural children so that they could compete with urban children for entry into professional colleges and public services. Children of Defence personnel, Central Government employees and other persons holding transferable jobs are admitted on a priority basis. The school was well received from the very beginning by people of nearby rural areas and within a few years has earned a reputation comparable with that of the best public schools of the city. It has proved a boon for villages near Ludhiana. The school was shifted to its own huge campus spread on 15 acres in 1981. The aim of the school is allround development of students, to equip them to achieve their cherished place in life with distinction and enable them to follow the ideas of service to the ‘nation and humanity’. The school has a sacred mission to provide quality education and create an engineering aptitude among the students. The school was affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, in 1985 and provides education in medical, non-medical, commerce and arts upto the senior secondary level. The school has got vast play grounds, well-equipped laboratories and a computer room. The school library is well-equipped with books on all subjects and languages. Recently an ultra-modern auditorium with a capacity to seat around 1500 persons has been set up in the school. The school has shown tremendous progress in the field of sporting and extra-curricular competitions. The school’s sports teams (boys and girls) have played at district and state level and have been selected for national tournaments. Volleyball team of the school stood first in the Punjab School Zone Tournament and basketball team (girls) stood second in this tournament and stood first at the district level. Handball team (girls) also stood first in a zonal level tournament. The teaching staff is well qualified, dedicated and devoted. The school is managed by the Nankana Sahib Education Trust headed by the president, SGPC, Mr Kirpal Singh Badungar, and the vice-president, Mr Surjit Singh. The Principal Mrs Parminder Kaur Sekhon, tells these words to her teachers for school’s progress. Oh! Teachers if you run Your students will walk If you walk, your students will stand If you stand , your students will sit, If you sit, your students will sleep If you sleep, your students will die.

‘To be good in thought, word and deed is
Discipline begins with self and with an Army background she feels that ‘discipline is your religion’. The first major point to success is discipline. It is a coordinated effort of parents, teachers and students. Since in the first four years of grants, 50 per cent intelligence is developed, the correct discipline can be imbibed in child at home.In the assembly, daily input of one thought on discipline and ‘value system’ is given to the students.
Education begins in mother’s womb. Abhimanyu’s learning in her mother’s womb is not a mythology but a reality. Mothers are the first and best teachers but these days every one has given up this responsibility. Even the lower kindergarten students are sent for tuitions. Since this school has almost all the students coming from rural background, the teachers have to work extra hard. The CBSE syllabus is well integrated as the studies are linked. In south states no one complained that the syllabai was tough.The syllabus does provide room for creativity as it all depends on teacher to make her lessons interesting. 8On religion Though I think religion is personal, but the school follows Sikh religion. So, I have set up a small gurdwara on the school premises. Guru Granth Sahib was brought from Gurdwara Alamgir so that the value system can be taught through the tenets of gurus. To pass in, divinity test has become compulsory for promotion to the next class. The students have to learn ardas and ‘Chaupai Sahib’. But still secular nature of religion is followed. Important days of other religions and national festivals are celebrated. — AA  |

FOR Ms Parminder Kaur Sekhon, who joined Nankana Sahib Public School as Principal in June, 2002, it was like homecoming. Thirteen years ago she had taught in the school for two years and then moved to South India as her husband was posted there. Ms Sekhon did a
Montessori Course and found that to be good primary teachers, one has to be Montessori trained. Being in charge of five schools in Trivandrum, Ms Sekhon has clarity of thought and futuristic vision and required experience to make the school a name to reckon with. Her dynamism, her foresight, her new ideas that have been implemented in last few months have already made a difference to the school. To achieve her aim she is going to target three areas; academics, discipline and cleanliness.
