qualities that will not only help them in achieving their goals, but also bring glory of success to our school academy. Awards are a way to encourage good behaviour and inculcate competitive spirit. Our respected Chairperson Mrs.Sudha Gupta felicitated the students in mainly six

categories, viz. academics, distinction in sports and arts, for participating in school exhibitions, debates and other social events. The aim was to recognize that extra talent of our students other than academics and motivate them to shine in their respective fields. Sudha Ma’am was immensely proud of the students who are waving the flag of Presidium in every field, everywhere.

To inculcate the leadership qualities in the students and to give them a feel of functioning of the

administrative body, a school prefectorial board was formed after scrutinous interviewing and selection. In order to scale the heights and reach the Pinnacle of success, Presidium always strives to inculcate a sense of responsibility and commitment among the students with their heads held high, ready to shoulder responsibilities as leaders. A spirit of unity and dynamism filled the air as the Grand Ceremony commenced with the Lighting of the auspicious Lamp of Knowledge followed by the Prayer to almighty. The Investiture Ceremony is a solemn occasion wherein all the young students are well prepared to don the mantle of leadership and responsibility while carrying it out with utmost dedication. The head boy and head girl shared their experiences and gratitude to the teachers and management in their speech. 

Kargil Vijay Diwas marks the victory of the Indian forces over Pakistan in the hills of Kargil and the success of India’s Operation Vijay in 1999. Presidium celebrated Kargil Vijay Diwas to remember India’s war victory and to pay a tribute to Kargil Martyrs who are a symbol of courage and sacrifice for safeguarding the borders of the Country. The students of Grade 7 conducted the morning assembly in a very well-coordinated manner. They sang patriotic songs and filled the entire atmosphere with patriotism. The entire staff along with the students also paid homage to the soldiers of Kargil by lighting candles and observing a 2 minutes silence.

We at Presidium believe in hands on experience, for which we give the kids the exposure to inculcate a strong base through various activities and teaching learning material. Recently, the students of grade 1 had a glimpse of the theme- Home where they were made to understand the need and importance of shelter/homes for humans as well as animals, and how their houses protect and help them to be safe. Apart from that, we also conducted a wonderful session on  'one body, many parts'. 3D shapes were used by the teachers to make the session more lively. They tried to create awareness among the children that different parts of our body have different functions and we should take care of them regularly. 

Guru Purnima is a day when the Guru or the teacher is worshipped for the work they have done for their disciples. We hosted a special assembly on this occasion where our tiny tots highlighted the significance of Guru Purnima.The program started with the shloka “Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwar”. A powerpoint presentation along with some videos on the life of the great gurus was shown. Students also performed a musical ballet to showcase the role of gurus in fostering excellence and shaping the minds and characters of the young people in their charge.The event was thus truly significant in making each staff member feel special for her/his role in ensuring the all-round development and well-being of their pupils. 

Stories have always been part and parcel of childhood. They hold a very special place in the tender hearts of kids and fond memories of listening to stories is deeply interwoven in our souls. Stories arouse imagination and creativity, which in turn leads to happiness, joy, thrill and excitement. We at Presidium believe in creating such opportunities for our kids so that learning with fun happens. Our collaborative curriculum helps them blossom. We narrated a story where kids enjoyed listening to it with special effects and also learned a lot about animals and their virtues. It was indeed a fun filled day where not only kids but teachers also enjoyed thoroughly.

Children love to play with colours and keeping this in mind, an Intra class Colouring Competition was organised for the students of grades Nursery and Prep. Judgement criterion for the competition was neatness and usage of colours. Students thoroughly enjoyed dabbling with bright and beautiful colours and made the pictures come alive. Working with their pencil and colours, unleashing their creative thoughts and ideas on the Drawing Sheets, the competition turned out to be a platform to bring together budding artists to showcase their talent.

School reopening is always a blend of many emotions and feelings. Moreover, returning to school holds lots of excitement in tender hearts of kids. Thus, it is of utmost importance that this day must unfold surprises and should be full of gestures which can welcome kids with warmth, love and care.To make this day more memorable for our little ones, we at Presidium planned various fun filled and child centric activities. Children were welcomed in a traditional way with a tilak and were showered with flowers. Children enjoyed outdoor activities like hoopla ring activity and balls in the basket. The Presidians enjoyed dancing on the beats of songs and getting pictures clicked in different selfie frames️ made by our talented teachers at a special welcome party. It was a wonderful day where teachers and children spent beautiful moments of love and togetherness.
