Focusing on holistic development of child
Anee’s School has carved a niche for itself, since its inception in October, 2002. Spread over an area of 4,250 sq yards in Sector 69, Mohali, the school building has a child friendly ambience.
Under the guidance of the director of the school, Mr Aneet Goel, the Aggarwal Education Trust promoted the institution to impart quality education for the holistic development of the child. At present, running classes from playway to fifth, it has been the management's endeavour to provide the best of education to the students. Qualities like discipline, cooperation, initiative, tolerance and diligence are inculcated in the students. With a team of qualified, trained and experienced faculty, we believe in giving personal attention to each child. The school has a teacher-taught ratio of 1:10. Assistant teachers are attached to class teachers, along with maids, to cater to the needs of pre-primary children. The school curriculum follows the CBSE pattern. It is a Cambridge YLE school, which gives the students an access to an international certification in language skills. The school building houses beautifully designated classrooms, a computer room, infirmary, toy room, library, multipurpose hall, and a music room. Computer education is compulsory from nursery upwards. The school provides an atmosphere conducive to a healthy emotional, intellectual and physical growth of the child. A multipurpose hall, equipped with a television set, facilitates children to watch educational programmes. Extra-curricular activities and a well-planned house system form an integral part of our curriculum. There are facilities like karate, yoga, badminton and other outdoor activities too. To assess the performance of the child, frequent parent-teacher interaction sessions are held. Educational and nature trips are organised besides regular health check-ups. Interns of the AIESEC, an international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential, held a month-long workshop where the students were apprised of various international cultures. Each child is treated as an individual and given the opportunity to participate in various activities such as drama, recitation, debate, etc. Even a tiny tot of two years is encouraged to take to the stage. A section for special children is also taken care off. Our psychologist looks after these hyperactive children and also those with development problems like autism. Children facing problems are also counselled. Anee’s School is leaving no stone unturned in its mission to provide facilities for a healthy physical, emotional and academic growth of the child.

I
have a dream and my purpose is to make it come true. I see the young hearts of Anee’s School as the stars of my dream. I want these little ones to blossom into beautiful flowers rather than burden their tender hearts. Child leaves in the school a strengthened memory, because it is the only aspect of his intellectual abilities that we are testing.
I believe that we need a change, the system needs a change. Thus, we have tried to be harbingers of this change. School need to be a place where children should love to go. The books should not be the source of knowledge only, but the banks of knowledge to give each child an opportunity to become an Einstein or a Newton. The school not only empowers the students to take on the challenges of everyday life but also to widen their horizons to enable them move in the right direction and make their minds strong enough to handle all types of stress and strains in their lives. Children of these days are surrounded by pressures of expectation, competitions and failure and the pressure from parents and peers. With the transition of joint families to nucleus ones, imparting knowledge of our culture and tradition to the child, which he earlier got from their grandparents, has become the responsibility of the school. For this, all festivals are celebrated in the school to instil moral values in the students. In today’s fast-changing world the role and importance of education has changed. We impart education to the children in natural way of life. Apart from academics character building, personality development and confidence are the main areas of focus. If the foundation is strong it can support any kind of building. For this lots of activities are organised to give chance to each student to flourish. We have an aim of creating responsible, confident and dutiful citizens, who will have the capacity to serve the nation and our society in multifarious ways.

Impressive presentations at TFT-Fest
Chandigarh, November 22 It was inaugurated by Justice BC Rajput at the Tagore theatre on Sunday. The annual event organised under the aegis of the Theatre for Theatre group is supported by the Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Academy, NZCC,CITCO and the Department of Cultural Affairs, Haryana, will present six plays. The event will be transformed into a month long theatrical bonanza by 2012 claims Director Sudesh Sharma fully supported by directors Umesh Kant and Julfiqar Ali. ‘‘Power corrupts and powerful corrupt others and the chain reaction goes on to pollute the social and political environment’’, this was the theme and exploring the paradoxes of order and the dialectics of social dynamics was the essence of ‘Ek Aur Dronacharya’, that was staged on the second day of TFT-fest. A classic creation of late Shanker Sesh flourished under the directorial signature of the shiromani director, Umesh Kant. The potent play is a synthesis of the existential truths concerning human nature as the inner conscientious self of protagonist Professor Arvind, holding on to his professional ethics, is pitted against the external pressures depicted through the soul of former colleague, Vimlendu. The play operating at the mythological and real levels brings into sharp focus the hypocrisy, double standards and perfidy faced by an honest teacher. Yogesh Arora portraying the alter ego excelled along with the accomplished Sachin Sharma, Abha and Bhavana. Sandeep Chatterjee, Bishwaji Sen. Narinder and Ranjan gave brilliant support to make the performance a memorable one. The chief guest V.K Sood honoured the artists on the occasion. Earlier the festival commenced with the staging of legendary playwright Balwant Gargi’s classic play ‘Loha kutt’ depicting the predicament of woman in the male dominated society. Though written and staged during the pre-Partition days the thematic essence of the play is relevant for all times to come and the directorial elegance of Safdar Hashmi award winner, Sudesh Sharma had made the presentation a soul searching and thought provoking exercise for the audience. The actors, especially Bhavna, Anita Shabdeesh and Gopal Upmannyu brought out the subtle characters with understanding, verve and intellect to enliven the element of conflict and bigotry throughout the play. Parveen Jaggi and Vinod Pawar articulated chiaroscuro effects and music respectively. |
