Students
all set to step into shoes of leaders Chandigarh, August 10 Using entertainment as a medium, “India Week”, as the name suggests, would showcase everything synonymous with the country to educate the students through participation. The programme will see students of nursery to class VI giving presentations. The grand finale on August 29 will have a procession of tableaux of all states. “We are observing this week to keep children well-versed with their past and alive to the spirit of India. It will not only break the monotony of school work but also ensure that children learn from this blend of history, geography and general knowledge,” says the Principal, Ms Sunita
Tanwar. With teachers helping out in this exercise, students have their hands full as they rehearse their parts in the show. While the tiny tots from nursery will be seen in traditional attires of different states, those from the kindergarten are all set to step into the shoes of great leaders. Imitating great legends, past and present, from different fields will be students of classes I and II, while learning about India for students of Classes III and IV will come by way of quiz and
postermaking. Students of classes V and VI will imitate great Indian leaders by presenting great speeches by them. While all this will be held on separate days, the last day will see everything coming together. “This will be a collective effort of all classes to reinforce all that they will have learnt during the week. It will also be a lesson in working together,” says Ms
Tanwar. |

HAMARA SCHOOL
Bridging the gap between imagination and reality, words and deeds, promises and performance - that is exactly what Shivalik Public School believes in. Since the time of inception, the immense service that the school has rendered to the students community, is
noteworthy. SPS, aims to generate an environment where students endeavour to ensure stability, happiness, discipline and become a caring community. The emphasis is on the balanced and integrated adults who are physically, mentally and spiritually mature enough to handle and face the vicissitudes of life with optimism, courage and fortitude. The knowledge explosion demands continuous upgradation of facilities, skills and training. To support the academic network of schools and to uplift the standard of instruction according to the present scenario, Shivalik Institute of Education and Research has been conceptualised. This is another leap to make our students a face in the crowd, generating a highly language rich environment and access to latest Information Technology. The idea is to let children be in the pursuit of knowledge and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. Shri D.S. Bedi, the Director-Principal of Shivalik Institutions is a well known visionary in the field of education and has been the guiding beacon and motivating force in turning these institutions into ideal oases of education and development. With its motto “Victory With Determination”, the school has been providing unique education to children. There is hardly any domain of education where the school has not played a significant role. Our students have been disciplined, bright and hardworking individuals who have not only excelled in the academic field but have also brought laurels to the school in literary, cultural and sports activities. The goal of students can only be achieved by their active participation and serious commitment. Hence great emphasis is lead on co curricular activities. Opportunities are provided to the students to participate actively in various activities. To enhance the creativity of the students, the Art & Craft section plays an important role. Students are taught to develop their skills by the way of making Origamy, thumb painting, coin painting, mask making, etc. The school creates a euphoria of activities to channelise the energy of the students who in turn steer the school to a glorious sublime horizon. |

They must adopt & adapt to the latest technologies themselves and positively contribute to the teaching learning process. Teacher has to play a multi-dimensional role of a friend, guide and a facilitator. On tuitions:
