Eating well is a form of self-respect!

It’s the nutritional choices that our children make every day, which will determine how healthy they will be in the long run. To create awareness among the children and sensitize them towards keeping fit through healthy food, a slogan writing competition was organized at Presidium, Gurgaon. Enthusiastic and confident to participate in this competition, the young Presidians brought various interesting and nutritious food from home for display. They came up with quite innovative slogans after knowledgeable discussions with their teachers. Many interesting and educational facts were discovered, such as:

1. We should ensure that we eat slowly.

2. We should involve ourselves in food shopping and preparing meals with our mothers.

3. We should not eat meals or snacks while watching TV.

4. We should drink more water while eating.

5. We should eat less meals outside the home.

The effort and thought process of our 'leaders of tomorrow' was worth all the appreciation and accolades!

They drew beautifully and also colored the pictures. They shared as what are their favorite food items and what are the food items they don't like to eat.They were excited to share their thoughts and got a sense of confidence when they were appreciated and acknowledged by their teachers and friends.

Teachers play a major role in making their students responsible citizens of tomorrow and good human beings!

 

It is impossible to imagine our lives without teachers. To show acknowledgement and recognition for the hard work put in by teachers towards our students’ development, Teacher’s Day was gloriously celebrated at Presidium, Gurgaon. Students, who had been preparing for the grand day for more than a week, organized a great show dedicated to their teachers. The day buzzed with excitement and smiles all around. Anchors commenced the program by bringing everyone’s attention to the immense importance of teachers. The programme included dance, skit and song performed by the students. It was truly a proud day for the teachers to bask in the love and attention they received from their students.

Presidium Model United Nations, commonly known as PMUN 2017 is an extremely innovative and cutting-edge way to provide a dynamic platform to sensitize students towards the critical global issues. This year, the theme 'sustainable development' made this grand event even more important for the students participating in the event. Our excellent students from Presidium Gurgaon proactively participated in PMUN and served as the front runners who will engage in debates and discussions while confronting the pressing challenges faced by the world and drafting resolutions in response to them.

Excellence is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends!

A time-honoured academic tradition, the Academic Excellence Awards was recently celebrated by Presidium Gurgaon with awe-inspiring grandeur and solemnity within the school campus. Graced by our school's honourable chairperson, Mrs. Sudha Gupta, Ammaji, Mr. Vikas Chawla and other dignitaries, the ceremony acknowledged and appreciated the academic achievements and 100% attendance of the young Presidians. It was made even more special with the benign presence of the proud parents of the awardees. While addressing the august gathering, Sudha Ma’am congratulated the young achievers and applauded their hard work, whose academic contributions had made it possible for the school to reach the pinnacle of success. She also congratulated the parents and teachers for working cohesively towards holistic development of the students.

Acknowledged with trophies and certificates, the recipients felt proud and their parents were exuberant. Some key highlights of the event were a wonderful dance performance on devotional 'Sarasvati Chalisa' and the soulful singing of our young singers. Encouraging the 'leaders of tomorrow' to set new goals for themselves and awakening a new hope and insight in their hearts, the event was a huge hit.

"The fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world!"

This statement of Charles Malik, former President of UN General Assembly, beautifully highlights the significant role of women in society. History is filled with examples of women’s continuous contribution to social, economic and cultural spheres.  Women have fought against all odds to emerge as world changers. Sharing the same view, the Grade 3 Presidians of Gurgaon recently conducted an assembly on the topic 'woman empowerment'. They started the assembly by sharing that the woman is an important pillar of society as she has the power to create, nurture and transform.

An inspiring video 'The Invisible Woman' was screened during the assembly. Children depicted mesmerizing role play to convey the message - 'educate a woman and you educate her family; educate a girl and change the world'. A wonderful dance performance was presented by little Presidians to show the gratitude towards womanhood. Some parents voluntarily shared their success stories to motivate children with their inspirational words. The day was indeed a well-deserved tribute to the womankind, who only is bestowed upon the capability of playing multiple roles such as mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and a professional.

Full of patriotic fervour and boundless love for their motherland, the Presidians from Gurgaon recently celebrater Independence Day. They dedicated this glorious day to the national heroes, without whom breathing in the ethos of patriotism wouldn't have been possible. It was an immensely gratifying day for all.

The blessed festival of Janmashtami was recently celebrated with great zeal and pomp by the students at Presidium, Gurgaon. Hundreds of cute and naughty 'Kanhas’ came down from Playgroup and Nursery to celebrate the festival of Janmashtami. Playing flute, having a bowl of butter and sharing laughter with friends, the fun clad event consisted of several entertaining competitions and games, which apparently showered innumerable gifts for kids who were beautifully dressed in Lord Krishna’s attire for the fancy dress. They made and wore Peacock feather head-gears and decorated matkas and flutes beautifully. The Pre-primary wing was decorated colourfully with Jhankis depicting the birth of Lord Krishna and Krishna Jhoola. The most interesting show of the day was 'Natkhat Kanha', where the students had to choose the naughtiest and the most active disguised Lord Krishna. It appeared as if Presidium school turned into Gokul for a short while, where Lord Krishna had spent his childhood.

Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas!

 

To trigger such creativity in our budding artists, Presidium Gurgaon recently organized a Rakhi Making Activity. Making the best of this opportunity to display their ingenious talent in the field of art and craft, the young leaders came ready with decorative material as per their creativity and imagination. The students got thoroughly engaged in the activity and came up with beautiful Rakhis as a result. Some students also shared the importance of Rakshabandhan to develop better sensitivity towards this pious festival that celebrates the love between a brother and sister. Overall, the event was a great success, wherein the kids showcased their creative side and also got to know the traditional magnitude of the festival.
