ANNUAL EVENTS

Parents Day for Junior School

All the students of Junior School (up to Class V) present for the parents, programmes that are evolved around issues that are in direct relation to the child and his/her experience.

Sports Day for Junior School Children

Students from Junior school participate in the sports activity on this day. The emphasis is on discovering one's skill and potential and putting to use the various kinaesthetic skills learnt during the games, rather than on participating competitively. There is no prize giving ceremony.

Sports Day for Middle and Senior School Children

Students from classes five to twelve participate on the mass drill and events on this day. The emphasis is on encouraging students to explore their sense of body movement and rhythm and to find ways of excelling in sport without the competitive edge. There is no prize giving, or victory stand involved on this day.

Field Trips

Different classes go on field trips to chosen locations. Valuable skills are learned, and relationships built, through these experiences. Students are expected to participate in these as in any other class activity; these are not considered "extra", but rather than essential part of the curriculum. Parents are requested to supervise packing, which is best done by the children, but instead to carefully supervise so that necessary items are remembered and unnecessary items are not included. When students label and pack their own supplies and equipment, they have more of a sense of what they are taking and how to keep track of their things. Students must not bring expensive articles, food items of any description and music systems (other things like games, chewing gum, cameras etc.) on such trips. The school must be informed of any special medication that the student is under. This needs to be packed along with clear instructions.

Special Weekly Assemblies

Every Wednesday, students of middle and senior school present before the student and teacher body, plays, project presentations, quizzes, and other creative activities. Once a month, the teachers and students participate in an Open House, where school-related issues are discussed. Artists of repute also are invited to present a lecture demonstration.

Special Assembly on February 17th

This assembly is organised in remembrance of the death anniversary of J.Krishnamurti. It is both a solemn and reflective occasion in which parents, students, teachers and special invitees participate.

Festival of Drama and Dialogue

This is a four day event involving the senior most students of the school and students from other schools within the city and outside. The Dialogue is an important component of this festival and follows the three days of plays presented by various schools.

Symposium

The symposium grew out of a deeply felt need for non-competitive, yet meaningful interaction between the school and other schools in the city. This annual event was envisioned as a forum for students of different schools to engage on issues of social and contemporary relevance. It provides a platform for students to enquire, discuss, raise questions and voice their opinions. Students also interact and share insights with special invitees, who are people involved in specific fields.

Basketball League Tournament

The tournament is an endeavour to redefine competition in sports. Two other schools with mixed teams participate. The matches are held over three days, followed by a dialogue to address issues connected to sports.
