Community Outreach
Service that is regular rather than ceremonial — and outreach to other schools through the teacher training centre and the material we publish.
We are careful about how service is taught. A once-a-year photograph with a donation is not community work; a commitment a child keeps for a term is. Outreach here is planned by grade, and children are expected to be able to explain who they helped and why it was needed.
Neighbourhood work
Cleanliness and segregation drives in the surrounding lanes, plantation work on the campus edge, and awareness campaigns the children design and run themselves.
Sharing what we teach
Our teacher training centre runs sessions for teachers from other schools, and our faculty-written English series, science worksheets and history readers are used by two other schools.
Helping other children
Senior children run reading and mathematics help for juniors, and collection drives for books, stationery and warm clothing at fixed points in the year.
Families and elders
Visits to an elders’ home with a prepared programme, and support for families in the neighbourhood at times of need.
Recorded on the report card
Work education and community service are graded descriptively in the co-scholastic section of the report card, with a comment on what the child actually did.
Come and see the school on an ordinary day — call the office and we will keep someone free to walk you around.
