Alpine International Senior Secondary School started in April, 1986, is managed by Rajeshwari Kala Mandir Society and is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi. Situated on the outskirts of the city on the Ferozepore Road, the school is spread over an area 12120 sq. yards with lush green grounds, well-maintained building, fully equipped labs, library and computers with modern facilities. The school has an approximate strength of about 1530 students. The school aims at developing intellectual humanities, commerce and sciences.

The school totally believes in the fact that only a healthy body is the foundation of healthy mind and nation. Therefore, it lays due emphasis on nursery section which provides full facilities to all the tiny tots. The building is fully airconditioned and stress is given on creativity and proper upbringing of all students.

Students have achieved a lot in academics. The students has shown good results in matric examination having various students in the merit list. This will be the first batch appearing for senior secondary. It is another feather in the cap of the school that it is providing free education to 160 students. Not only this, we entertain spastic students to study in this institute and feel that they are also human beings who must be given a chance to live in society with us.

For free education we have been assured by Mayor of Ludhiana, Mr Nahar Singh Gill, that land would be allotted near Shrepur. If this promise is fulfilled, then 100% free education will be given to the downtrodden and they would also feel proud that they are also part of society, and they can also become leaders of the nation.

Apart from academics, due emphasis is laid on sports also. Many students have won laurels in different sports activities.

We are proud of having the state and national-level players in various games. In the recent Table Tennis Cluster XII championship held in the states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, students won many prizes.

A small sapling a few years ago has nurtured itself into a big tree with its branches providing shade to all segments of society.

This all has been possible under the guidance of able and dynamic Principal, Mrs Rajeshwari Dhir, and her cohesive unit of dedicated staff members.

‘Right deeds always lead to the right path’

Rajeshwari DhirBRICK by brick, Mrs Rajeshwari Dhir saw the school grow from two rooms to the present imposing building, from three students to 1200 students. At times, suddenly the teachers would leave her and she would have to manage two to three classes all by herself. She says that she never got upset as she knew that God was with her. Her ‘mantra’ for success has been ‘treating the students, teachers and other people with love , compassion and understanding’.

  • On discipline

Discipline begins with self which acts as inertia in the realm of success. Discipline cannot be taught by inculcating the fear of punishment but it needs to be imbibed in the students by grooming them in becoming a better human being. It is not only the Principal who is solely responsible for discipline, but it is a cohesive teamwork of parents, teachers and society. The best discipline in the child can be imbibed at home. In the assembly daily input of one thought on the discipline is given to the student. The best way to be in discipline is learning from one’s mistake. Love and reasoning can solve all disciplinary problems. I believe in giving positive strokes to students and even a garrulous and defiant students changes for the better.

  • Religion

Religion includes the basic ethical and moral values among the students. The school following the principles of religion being secular has got ‘naman’ book having different prayers of all religions. These are conducted on different days during the assembly.

  • Education

It is infinite and subtle. Education is elevating and exalting of intelligence and spiritual powers. Spreading and imparting education is the most noble service to mankind. However, it is not only delivering what has been mentioned in text and the syllabus but going beyond it. The teacher has a key role as the teacher has always to be a student all her life and keep her curiosity alive to be able to reach the students’ level. Education should aim at developing intellectual curiosity and at the personal growth of child inculcating a sense of competence, social consciousness and a strong sense of moral integrity. The teachers must be fully aware of their role in moulding the child’s character. — AA

Poems by students

Pollution


Saanchi Arora, class IX

Smoke, smoke, smoke

is let out of the vehicles

choke, choke, choke

goes in our auricles ventricles.

Toot, toot, toot

more buses, cars, trucks

noise, noise, noise

that I can’t hear myself.

Dirty, dirty, dirty

that I can’t even drink water

look, look, look

at the increasing pollution,

stop, stop, stop

because it is a serious problem

Divya Kapoor

My school

My school is a temple

teaches are its God

Alpine is its name

it has great fame.

My school is very big and great

everybody in it believes in fate.

Our ground is very beautiful

on seeing it, everyone feels cheerful.

Teachers give us education, like a treasure

but we think it as way of pleasure.

The building is built in white

it gives us light.

Our teachers give us lot of homework

May god bless ‘Almamater’

Sahil Rajpal

Life is a cake

Life is a cake

which needs the icing of

laughter

Life is rain

that welcomes a rainbow thereafter.

Life is a baby

which needs to be nurtured carefully.

Life is a blessing of God

which needs to be accepted thankfully.

Life is a blackpaper

which needs to be filled with colours.

Life is a story

which is full of humour.

Life is a result of a cause

which can be imagined as a pause.

Life is full of happiness

when it is shared.

Amit Kumar

My mother

Mother Oh! Mother!

she take cares of me,

when I hurt my knee!

She gets up early,

Her hair is curly

My mother helps the needy,

she is never greedy!

My mother is very beautiful.

For me she is very careful!

My mother is very nice,

She prepares the noodles and rice!

She is very wise and wonderful,

she is always there!

When I am alone and,

wait some time to care!

She is the best!

Impressive function marks Sacred Heart annual day
Our Correspondent

Ludhiana, December 1
An impressive programme marked the Annual Function of Sacred Heart Convent Senior Secondary School last evening. The huge stage was well decorated. The highlight of the function was a play in English titled “Love Triumphs.” The story represented the love of King of Persia for a Jewish woman. Following the conquest of Babylon, the King of Persia hosts a banquet for his people at which he requests the presence of his wife, Vashti. As she refuses the King’s demand, Ashasuerus disowns her and goes in search of a suitable wife. In his harem, he meets Esther who immediately captivates him with her charm and beauty. Unaware of her Jewish heritage, King falls in love with her. She saves King’s life from treacherous people who plan to poison him with the help of her cousin Mordecai.

Haman, whom the King makes his right hand man, plans a genocide of 10,000 Jews as he is very jealous of Mordeci and wants him dead. Since he gets the King’s seal, he orders the genocide. Disturbed at her entire race being wiped out, Esther reveals her true origin and asks the king to step in and save the innocent people. She tells him how Haman had misused his trust and ordered the extermination of Jews. The sets of the Persian court were grand and fabulous. The costumes were gorgeous and fitted the characters. The acting of the main characters was superb. The huge stage was extended on both sides to accommodate more students. Music too was appropriate.
