Republic day celebrations take place with patriotic fervor and zest in schools as the students learn about India’s political history, freedom struggle and the Constitution as a part of their curriculum. Keeping with the tradition, Presidium Gurgaon celebrated the 70th Republic Day with great enthusiasm. Ammaji Mrs. Raj Rani Gupta, Shri Jagmohan, Ms. Aparna Gupta and other guests joined the students for the celebrations. With great performances, students depicted how the great sons of the motherland fought to attain freedom and made India a sovereign state. The soulful performances inspired and infused everyone with the feeling of patriotism.

In today’s globalised world, technology plays a vital role. Keeping this in mind, Presidium Gurgaon recently introduced a new computer language to the students of grade 8. In an interesting computer session, Presidians learned about the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). Students learned to design attractive web pages using hyperlinks, protocols and other types of tags with the help of HTML. It was a great learning experience for the students.

Presidium Gurgaon believes in the maxim-“Be what you want to be”- and surmises in creating and organizing multifarious activities to nurture the versatility and talents of students in various fields. With an aim to inspire students and to make its mark in the field of education, Presidium Gurgaon recently organised a Techno Fest which was inaugurated by honourable Chairperson of Presidium, Mrs. Sudha Gupta.

‘I cannot say goodbye to those whom I have grown to love, for the memories we have made will last

a lifetime, and will never know a goodbye.’

We bid goodbye to another pertinacious batch of grade 12 as the farewell ceremony brought with it innumerable memories .

The honourable Chairperson of Presidium and Mother’s Pride is an educationist par excellence who believes in the power of ‘being’. With an aim to inspire teachers, Ma’am conducted a motivational and life altering session for the teachers of Presidium Gurgaon on the ‘Power of Being’. Ma’am shared tips on how to build emotional strength through 10 Mantras and 3 Gurumantras and her inspirational thoughts generated a sense of positivity among the teachers. The ‘high on emotions’ seminar made our teachers think about how their feelings and mood affect their lives and impact how they form strong relationships. The powerful mantras helped learn the ways to not let people, situations and circumstances affect them. They learned how to throw away the negativity and have an open mind to life. Towards the end of the seminar, the teachers shared how they felt better equipped to handle situations. The glow of positivity on the faces of the audience indicated how the seminar helped in motivating teachers and making them powerful beings.
