AN ENVIRONMENT DAY INITIATIVE
Creating awareness for the need for protecting our environment is of great relevance in today's world. In recognition of the world environment day the high school students took on the roads creating awareness on the need to preserve, protect and nurture the nature and environment. The students carried placards and marched towards the HMT Ground in R.T.Nagar to join an event conducted by the Department of Education. As part of the event the children were keen to hear from the Member of Parliament Mr. Sadananda Gowda and also the environmentalist Saalumarada Thimmakka.
CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY
The importance and relevance of Yoga has been very much discussed today. Today in different parts of the world people practice this art and have it a part of their lives. It has very much to do with health, fitness and the mind. To bring its relevance and importance among student, SUKRUPA joined the rest of the world in celebrating Yoga day. The children were taught various Yoga asana’s and with great enthusiasm they were able to perform them. Students were educated about its importance and the need to make it a part of their everyday life.
SUKRUPA KABBADI TEAM
Sports is always so very important for children and it provides them physical ability and skills. We at SUKRUPA encourage students to take active participation in Sports. In the last few months we have successfully been able to provide Kabbadi trainings and practice sessions for both girl and boys. The children have taken part in several Taluk level sports competitions and have won many tournaments. We look forward to taking the children to the next level in Kabbadi and encourage more and more students to take part in it.
SPELL BEE
The high school students participated in a Spell Bee competition held by Regency Public School Vidyaranyapura, Bangalore. The objective of the event was to improve vocabulary and English usage among the children. The event aimed at enhancing children's ability to learn concepts by building competency thus increasing their individual abilities. Our students from SUKRUPA participated with character and confidence and with great enthusiasm. It was a first time experience and participating in the competition gave them a good exposure to enhance their spelling and vocabulary skill set.
A VISIT BY VLOCITY
Mr. Ram Reddy and Mr. Dominic Lau Quan from Vlocity had an interactive session with the children about internet based computing. The children were keen to know about how their company works on cloud soft wares transforming the various kinds of businesses.
STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS
DEMOCRACY BEGINS AT SCHOOL....
A student council is where children learn to experience democracy, take responsibilities, voice their ideas, solve problems and take leadership. For the first time we have introduced the Student Council at SUKRUPA to enable student’s participation in the school board and administration. The students were excited to take part in being elected as a student council member and experience all about elections and voting. The teachers enabled the students understanding about elections and its importance in our country. It was a whole process that took place where the children went on canvasing with posters and symbols, booths and ballot papers were introduced and elections were conducted. The elections were conducted by the students with the assistance of the teachers. The elected school captains took oath to be honest, humble and contribute to the welfare of the school.
PHOTO AND VIDEO JOURNALISM
The Photo-Video Journalism program supported by Fidelity National Financial India has been a successful one. The children have been able to learn the complete process of making a video. Right from pre-production of research, creating the story board, then the production which involves the handling the camera, shooting, voice over and finally the post production of editing the video. Through the process of making the video the children were able to understand the importance of planning, team work and co-operation. The students worked in two groups and were able to create stories on socially relevant topics. One was on water conservation and the other one was on recycling. We look forward to enriching the children’s ideas and creativity through this program.
