2. MONTESSORI SYSTEM OF EDUCATION

Help me to do it alone.
Maria Montessori was born in Italy, in 1870. She became the first female physician in Italy, upon
her graduation from medical school in 1896. In her medical practice, her clinical observations led
her to analyse how children learn. She concluded that they build themselves from what they find
in their environment. Her scientific observations concluded that children had the ability to
absorb knowledge from their surroundings effortlessly, as well as the interest in manipulating
their inner needs. Montessori's lifelong pursuit of educational reform resulted in promoting the
self creating process of the child.

Dr. MARIA MONTESSORI


(1870-1952)
This heavenly flower never withers

In 1906 Dr. Montessori founded the first Casa dei Bambini - Children's House. In 1915, she
attracted the world's attention with her Glass House school room exhibit. She conducted a series
of teacher training courses in India in 1939. She founded the Montessori centre in London
in1947.

Montessori education is based on a series of genuine discoveries. Montessori education has a


fundamental influence on all modern methods of education directly as well as indirectly.

It focuses attention on the fact that no attempt to solve social and moral problems will
succeed if it concentrates only on man and his activities and not on the whole man. The primary
need of education is to enable children to grow up to be good citizens of tomorrow's world.
Building a full and wholesome world for children is not only an urgent social need, but is also a
developmental imperative.

Children teach themselves. To give a child liberty is not to abandon him to himself.

25
An Introduction

The children in primary classes in the age group of 2½ - 7½ years learn through the Montessori
system of education. It is a five year continuous course based on the psychology of the children.
They learn on their own in a phased manner, using scientific and sophisticated manipulatives.
The learning methodology is through observation and promotes analytical thinking and intense
acquisition of knowledge. The classroom milieu plays a significant role in the educational
attainment of children, promoting inquisitiveness and inclination towards learning. The children
will merge with the formal stream of education from Class III onwards.

The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.

SENIOR MONTESSORI
AN INTRODUCTION

The educational goal of the Montessori Educational System is to develop a global vision in
children.

Cosmic Education, The Great Lessons are introduced to elementary school children to entice
their imagination, critical thinking skills and motivation.

For the children in the age group of 5½ to 7½ years, there is a need for a radically different
approach because the child comes with a new mind and a tremendous power of imagination.

So Dr. Maria Montessori called the path of Elementary Education as Cosmic Education.

In the joy of learning the true child appears.

33
COSMIC EDUCATION

Montessori uses its Five Great Lessons as an introduction to all topics, providing a Big Picture
to demonstrate how the Sciences, Art, History, Language and Geography are interrelated. The
secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be
sown to grow under the heat of the flaming imagination. The essence of Cosmic Education is that
it requires an integration of curriculum like English, Second Language, Mathematics and
Environmental Studies.

transformation of the environment that we
call civilization. The human mind has the
innate ability to learn the order and
structure of a language. The spontaneous
development of the child in learning a
language takes place.

Mathematics

The power of the mathematical mind lies in


its ability to quantify with precision, to
reason through logic and abstract pattern
through observation and imagination, and
translate them to invention through the work
of the hands.

Environmental Studies

Through the Five Great Lessons, children


become aware that the universe evolved over
billions of years, and that it is based on the
law and order through which all the plants,
animals, and the rest of the creation are
maintained. Cosmic education involves the
interlinking of all knowledge and all aspects
of the universe. Dr Maria Montessori saw the
purpose in the activity of these principles a
progressive path towards perfection.

Of all things, love is the most potent

3. VINAYAKA CHATURTHI

Among Gods, Lord Vinayaka is the most favourite to every one of us. The reason is that he is very
simple. His idol can be prepared even with clay or with a very costly metal. Another interesting
fact is that he can be pleased with very simple offerings. The important thing is that it has to be
offered to him with love and devotion. The benevolence of Lord Vinayaka to Humanity is
immeasurable.

Due to the rapid urbanization and the emerging


of nuclear families, the children are deprived of
the true sense of festivals. The school takes the
initiative to celebrate this festival with great
devotion to make the children understand the
importance of the festival. Vinayaka Chaturthi
is celebrated to preserve our culture and
heritage

Sri Vidhya Ganapathi - The Optimal Power

On the day of the festival, the school adorns a


festive look. The school children along with
the Archakar perform the Laksharchana.
Bhajans are sung and Vedachariars are
invited to deliver religious discourses on the
value of the festival.

The love and devotion to the Lord is also


conveyed through various floral and fruit
arrangements offered to the Lord.
Utsavarmoorthy - The Devotional Touch

There's nothing equal to the act of devotion to the OMNIPOTENT

S.S.M.
4. VALUE EDUCATION
Where the vision is one year, cultivate flowers.
Where the vision is ten years, cultivate trees.
Where the vision is eternity, cultivate people.

Values, in the context of Value Education, are


qualities that direct the children towards an
ethical way of life and mould their character.
Earlier, children imbibed values in the joint
family system and social gatherings. They
were a natural part of the child's growth.
Over the time, lifestyle patterns have changed
and resulted in the need for values to be On Our School Your Blessings Lord!
integrated with the school curriculum.

It is our duty and responsibility to preserve


and cherish those Values and Dharmas and
pass on this great legacy to the next
generation. Value is cultivated right from the
Montessori level. It is inculcated through
moral stories, Sloka recitation and singing
Bhajans and Discourses. It is a part of the
School curriculum and is valued more than
Thy praise by our words and voice teaching the bread winning subjects.

The culture of the nation resides in the heart


and soul of its people.

Character is very much a matter of health, it is


higher than intellect.

Hold our hands, Precious God, Lead us on

Values summarize the wisdom by which the society organises and disciplines itself

6. Patriotism

Where the mind is without fear and head is held high


Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls……
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore

A man's country is not a certain area of land of


mountains, rivers and woods, but it is a
Principle and Patriotism is loyalty to that
Principle.

Bharath - the name itself sounds majestic. India


has been the land of martyrs who have
embraced the gallows for their ideals. Every
drop of these martyrs blood has been shed to
preserve the culture and heritage of our
country. Our Students are taught to follow the
path of these martyrs and to be accountable for
their work, the value most needed for
Democracy to work in the right sense.
Our Mother Land

Patriotism is the emotion by which a nation governs itself

46
S.S.M.

Tiranga – Flying high to inspire

The Tiranga our national flag has been the inspiration to our students.

The saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our students learn to be


indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work.

The white in the centre denotes the light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. Our moral
instruction classes are a small step towards it.

The green shows our relation to soil, and the plant life on which all our lives depend. The
students learn to respect mother earth, and the mantra of reuse, recycle, reduce is being
followed.

The Ashoka wheel in the centre of the white is the


wheel of Law and Dharma. The wheel which
denotes motion represents dynamism of a peaceful
change in the Nation. The children are taught not
to resist the change but to move on and go forward
and achieve prosperity with the help of Satya
and Dharma.

The students are inculcated with an unconditional


devoted love for our Motherland and to defend our
country. National festivals are celebrated with
patriotism and great fervour, motivating them to be
The Symbol of Satya and Dharma
loyal to the country.

A true patriot is one who laughs when the country laughs and mourns when the country mourns

47
Charity begins at home

Our future citizens - the young soldiers, are on a mission towards better India. Yes, the
S.S.M. children are in the field to empower themselves and to bring great laurels to
our country, to make India a secular place in the modern World, where the young people come
together breaking the old boundaries of religion and caste. It is here where the new
nation is being constructed which will one day make the entire world bow down to our
Motherland.

7. Computer Education

Throughout the human history, people have been trying to find a way of how to make their work
easier and how to equip their tools, instruments or machines with functions that could imitate
the human brain. The development of the modern day computer is the result of advances in
technologies and man's need to progress.

Today's learners - Tomorrow's Inventors

Computers have become the integral part of our life, helping and aiding man in all fields of
knowledge.

The internet is yet another marvel in the world of technology. It opens up new vistas of
knowledge.

Education is the process of living through a continuous reconstruction of experiences

49
Computers have lots of memory but no imagination

The school realises the important role played by the computer in human life and hence has
made it compulsory in the curriculum from Montessori Classes. The infrastructure and
the methodology of teaching empowers the students to meet the challenges of the world of
technology.

8. SPORTS AND GAMES

Providing good physical education ensures good health of a student. Health is Wealth - Good
health of a man can achieve wealth, happiness, fame and in fact, anything in this world. Our body
helps us to attain all our dreams and goals.

Alert students

Physical Education, as curriculum, includes training in the development and care of the human
body and maintaining physical fitness. The athletics and various other physical activities
improve the overall psycho-motor skills and agility of the students. Our sports complex,
situated at Perungalathur, in a vast area of 15 acres of land, is equipped with all facilities to
play and conduct Indoor and Outdoor games including track and field events.

Physical fitness is not only one of the


most important keys to a healthy
body, it is also the basis of dynamic
and creative intellectual activity.

Participating is more important than winning

51
The students are divided into four Houses at Junior and Senior levels respectively, in order to
develop competitive and team spirit and also to develop the talents of individuals.

Juniors – Classes VI to VIII Seniors – Classes IX to XII


Jasmine Ganga
Red Rose Yamuna
Lotus Krishna
Sun Flower Godavari

Volunteers from each house are entrusted with


the responsibility to man the gates according to
the duty roster and perform reception and
despatch duties. The students must attend to all
activities of the school - both physical and
intellectual on all days and on all occasions, as
entrusted to them from time to time.

Future Ronaldos

Separate teams are formed for each game for the interested students, both at junior and senior
levels and are given intensive coaching during out of period hours. These classes are
conducted separately for boys and girls, thrice a week upto 6.30 p.m. These teams represent the
school in all the interschool and zonal matches and tournaments. Enrolment will be made every
year at Class VI only - of course a few new entrants in higher classes are enrolled, as an exception.

Those students joining these teams are


supplied with sports garments and provided
with evening tiffin and they should continue
in the team till they leave the school at Class
XII level. The school transport students will
be commuted after the class hours.

Swimming is a life art. It commences from a first


few strokes in the shallows to the competitive
swimming for a race. It is the best physical
activity.

Swimming can not only save oneself but can also


give confidence to save others during disasters
like flood, ship wreck, etc.,
Children ! we've not forgotten you.

10. PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

Personality development complements the knowledge acquired through education. A good

personality expresses the good knowledge acquired and hence, avenues have been made

available to students to imbibe in themselves traits like oratory, leadership quality, expressing

ideas with confidence, effective interaction, ability to convince, etc.

Throughout the year, workshops, seminars, speeches, etc. are conducted. Eminent speakers are

invited from time to time to speak on student-related topics. Mock seminars and workshops are

held in the soft skill classes, where the students take active participation. The students are

trained in groups to make presentations.

Students are encouraged to make Power Point presentations too on various social topics.

EDUCATION WITHOUT EXPERIENCE AND EXPOSURE IS INCOMPLETE

The children and youth of today are the first generation to have access to new technological

equipments such as computers, cell phones, etc., which were deprived to their parents.

In this rapid changing world, our children need better training to succeed in today's competitive

times. Only the fittest can survive. Soft skills are living skills or abilities for adaptive and

positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of

everyday life.

Training students in various soft skills is integrated into the curriculum. Students are provided

with enough opportunities to acquire additional strategies for coping with future life transitions.

Positive attitude nurtures creativity and helps in team building

57
Soft skills or the Life Skills are graded according to the following modules:

PRIMARY LEVEL

üPersonal hygiene/ health/ physical fitness


üSelf - awareness
üTelephone etiquette
üSafety
üMotor skills/sensory skills / character building
üThinking skills

Each module consists of various Power Point presentations, individual and group activities,
role plays and worksheets for the overall personality development.

Confidence building identifies talent, ensures equity and facilitates excellence

58
S.S.M.
11. COUNSELLING

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover
who you are.

Counselling offers understanding, a feeling of being listened to, valued and accepted in a
non-judgemental way and to know that each child is unique and special and no one else is like
him.

The aim of counselling is to relate to the students in a supportive and purposeful manner and
assist them in the task of finding their own way forward.

We observe the student in a class, provide consultation to teachers and parents so as to develop a
plan, to address the behavioural issues and then work together to implement the plan.

Students approach us with issues like academic difficulties, behavioural problems, conflict with
friends, anger, life transition and change, self-esteem, family issues and other feelings that cause
discomfort. Depending upon the nature of the issue, we formulate ways to make them face and
cope with life.

Techniques such as anger management, behaviour modification, relaxation and study


techniques are adopted to help the students. Individual / group counselling is given on important
issues.

Counselling also helps the students to understand themselves and give a new perspective to their
whole outlook and attitude towards themselves as well as the others.

Guidance counsellors help students in making educational and personal decisions about
career opportunities.

The four stages of sucess are Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing

59
12. Field Trip

Seeing is Learning - Travelling is Experiencing

Education is multi-faceted and is not contained to the classroom. With the aim to give the
children wholesome education, children are exposed to real-life situations through various
processes, among which, travelling is also one. Children from JM2 to Class XII are taken on short
Field Trips. The places of visit are selected relevant to their syllabus. Based on their importance
and feasibility, a plan is chalked out before the academic year starts.

Children of today are restricted to classrooms, T.V. and Computers. They hardly have any
knowledge of Nature or the processes that are involved in raising a crop or making a product.
Hence, the field trips include agricultural farms, factories, production units and also places of
knowledge like museums, botanical gardens, etc.

Learning made interesting

Children immensely enjoy these field trips, as they break from the monotony of the classroom
and get more opportunities for better interaction. Behavioural change such as conducting
themselves in public places, enquiring politely, observation, concentration, etc., are also
observed towards the end of these trips.

On the days of the field trips, which will be informed to the Parents/Students in advance,
Students should bring their lunch/snacks and water bottles from home.

Curiosity is an instinct of infinite scope

13. EDUCATIONAL TOUR

We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the by-paths and untrodden depths of the
wilderness and travel, explore and tell the world the glories of our journey .

S.S.M. Educational tours aid to remove the


cobwebs of everyday routine life. It helps
the students to rejuvenate themselves.
The aim of the tours is not only relaxation
and rest but also to learn about other
places, people and their cultural heritage
expressed in art, music, literature,
folklore, etc.
Effective escort for Students

It forges new friendship amongst students. It aids them to develop individuality, adaptation to
various circumstances, sharing and caring with their peers.

Knowledge and skills gained during the tour is an invaluable practical academic experience.
Students learn to make decisions and act accordingly in the right manner.

Annual educational tour for students of


Classes VI to XII is part of the curriculum.
The tour will educate the students to
understand the real life environment and
motivate them for their overall personality
development.

The experience of togetherness

Travel has a way of stretching the mind

61
Regarding the progress of the tour the parents can contact the school during working hours.The
management will bestow utmost care in organizing the tour. For any untoward happening
beyond its control, the management should not be held responsible.

The management will make all tour arrangements 90 days in advance. The tour dates will be
notified in the calendar. Those students, who are not participating in the tour for whatever
reason, should give a letter to that effect 90 days in advance. For any withdrawal at a later date,
the entire expenses incurred thereon will be recovered from the parent.

Parents, who are employees of the Railways, will have to produce free travel pass and the
required details will be furnished well in advance by the school.

15. FINE ARTS

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head and the heart of the man go together.

Art is the only thing in the world that delights and enchants the creator and the observer. Fine art
is developed primarily for aesthetics rather than utility.

Visual art - both traditional and modern – such as drawing, painting and photography are part of
the curriculum.

Performing art forms - music and dance are taught to create an awareness of the rich Indian
heritage and culture among our school children.

Every student is endowed with a talent for art. The school gives an opportunity to the students of
classes III to X to learn one Fine art during the school career. The talented trained children are
given opportunity to render performances at various school functions.

The students can opt for one of the Fine arts – namely Carnatic music (Vocal), Bharathanatyam,
Violin, Mridangam, Veena, Keyboard, Photography or Arts and Craft. In Class VI, the student can
opt for a change over to Veena or Photography, if desired.

The method of selection for each art will depend on the student's interest or flair for the
particular art and subject to vacancies.

New students who join the school in Classes IV to X, can select an art based on the student's talent
at the entry point.

The field of Fine arts once selected cannot be changed.

A student can opt for the martial art - Karate also instead of Fine arts.

The students who have opted for Karate in Classes III – V will attend Karate classes in their
regular school uniform and from Classes VI and above will be supplied with a set of Karate
costume. The replacement of such uniform will be on payment.

Cheer yourself up by cheering somebody

S.S.M.
CARNATIC MUSIC
Carnatic Music is a rich heritage that has
come to us as a legacy. It is our duty to
preserve, nurture and promote it. Music also
helps to develop concentration and learning.
Carnatic music is taught in a graded syllabus.

Carnatic Vocal concerts, Light Music


programmes, Bhajans etc., are organized for
students every year.

MRIDANGAM
Mridangam is known as Deva Vaadyam or
instrument of Gods. In teaching Mridangam,
a graded syllabus is being followed. Trained
students accompany the Bhajan Singers in
the Moral Instruction classes and extend
valuable support in all the school functions.

KEYBOARD
This modern instrument has the facility of
adopting the tone of different wind and string
instruments. Keyboard in both Carnatic style
and Western style is being taught in the
school.

VIOLIN
The violin is the most important
accompanying instrument in the field of
Carnatic music. The violin is being taught
and practised by the students to participate
in Jugal Bandhi and to render solo
performances.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement

67
VEENA
Veena is one of the three celestial musical
instruments. Saraswathi, the Goddess of
Learning and Art, is identified with this
instrument. The students learn and practice
Veena to reach the level of rendering
performances.

Photography - The Light Art


Photography helps to create a visual record that would tell a fascinating story to our future
generations, as well as bring back many happy memories as the years roll by.

The students practise Photography in a highly professional environment. We are proud to say
that our students themselves take photos at our school functions

Recognition is the beginning of wisdom

16. SCOUTS AND GUIDES
Pray that every home in India may have children like scouts and guides.
-Mahatma Gandhi

The Scout movement is a worldwide youth movement with the stated aim of supporting young
people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, so that they may play constructive
roles in society. Scouting began in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell, Lieutenant General in the
British Army, held the first Scouting Island in England.

The first Scout Troop in India, consisting of Indian Boys, was formed in 1908. The Girl Guide
movement got a start in India in 1911.

The Scout/Guide movement is based on the following principles:

Duty to God
Duty to Others
Duty to Self

LORD BADEN POWELL


(1857-1941)

Scouts and Guides -


The more they expand,
the better for the country.

A true measure of your worth includes all the benefits gained by the others from your success

72
S.S.M.

Something good ought to be done each day of


your life. Start today to carry out this rule and
never forget it during the remaining days of

Be content with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things
instead of the gloomy one.

Our Scouts : Chatrapathi Shivaji Troop

“Give me a place to stand, I will move the earth.”


- ARCHIMEDES

A laboratory is the place where the child


learns to move the earth. Science is made
of facts, just as houses are made of stones
but a pile of stones is not a house and a
collection of facts is not necessarily
Science.

The future Aryabhatas

We teach the students to apply the facts to


understand Science and weave the same
into a wonderful fabric for the welfare of
humanity.

Minds are immeasurable

Active thinking is generative, Passive thinking is traditional

77
Primary

I hear and I forget;


I see and I remember;
I do and I understand.

“A scientist in laboratory is not a mere technician.


He is also a child confronting natural phenomena
that impress him as though they were fairy tales.”
-Marie Curie

Learning by doing is the main principle adopted for students of this generation. Little fingers
work together to freely explore the world of Science and Mathematics with fun-filled activities.
They are no more alien subjects to our students. Simple experiments help the young brains in
understanding the applications of Science and Mathematics to daily life.

Feather-soft, easy to handle kits make learning interesting to the students.

Young Scientists at work Vision - 2020

Lateral thinking skills open up increased opportunities for discovery and creativity

Middle

If I have to live my life again, I would always remain in my laboratory for the
greatest joy of my life to accomplish original Scientific work.
- J. B. Andre Dumas

The whole of Science is nothing more


than a refinement of everyday thinking.
-Albert Einstein

Our laboratory provides hands-on experience in performing various experiments and activities
in Science and Mathematics. The main focus is to instil scientific thinking in the minds of
students. The laboratory is well-equipped to meet the needs of the inquisitive minds. Working
models enable the students to visualize the theoretical concepts taught in the classroom. The
teaching fraternity motivates the students to unravel the hidden mysteries of Science.

The future scientists Thinking has no dimension

Self actualisation helps in identifying the latent potentialities

79
PHYSICS

Electricity understood with ease

Reason, Observe and Experience – the Holy Trinity of Physics is the motto of our Physics
laboratory. Understanding the concepts in Physics is the main thrust. Students have ample
opportunities to explore and experience the essence of Physics.

Exploring the physical world

A well-furnished laboratory with quality apparatus meets the demands of the budding
physicists. The teachers train the minds of the students in developing the skills of observation,
lateral thinking, trouble-shooting, systematic investigation, resulting in extraordinary excellence
in the pursuit of Physics.

Knowledge is the ultimate amplifier

80
S.S.M.
CHEMISTRY

Fascinated by the colourful world Thrilled with results

A spacious, well-ventilated laboratory opens the doors to the world of Chemistry. The world of
Chemistry reaches into almost every facet of our lives and its understanding is a necessary
prerequisite. In the congenial atmosphere, the students feel proud of themselves to do their
experiments with the best apparatus under the able guidance of teachers.

Enhanced Analytical Thinking

The real voyage of discovery is in having new eyes

81
BIOLOGY

Sound body makes a Sound mind – the life science

Things made simple for better Learning made easier


understanding

Our Biology laboratory is a museum to the students. We train the students into future
Biotechnologists. They are systematically trained to develop the skills of observation, dissection
and drawing. We enable them to see the macro view of microorganisms and kindle the instincts
for an indepth knowledge. Under the able guidance of the teachers, the students learn human
anatomy through plasto models.

Wonders of Human Anatomy

The laboratory is colourful with descriptive charts to give a 3D view of the biological concepts.
The vast collection of specimens of various organisms brings the students closer to the
Zoological and Botanical world. Together we march to build an eco-friendly world by enriching
the biological ideas.

Knowledge is light, weightless and intangible

82
S.S.M.
20. CLASSROOM

The ambience of the classroom plays a great


role in the developmental needs of the child.
Our classrooms provide a comfortable
atmosphere where the child's mind is allowed
to receive and transmit the knowledge acquired.

The classroom is amply furnished and provided


with high-tech facilities for better teaching-
learning atmosphere. The general features are -
ceramic green board, chart board, computer
with LAN, LCD / Plasma screen, bubble top
water container, lights, fans and comfortable
seating arrangement.

Individual cupboards without locking facility have been provided for the students to keep their
books and notebooks. The students can keep their belongings inside the cupboards without any
fear of losing their things. Every student will conduct himself as a role model for honesty and
integrity. This has reduced the burden of carrying a lot of books and notebooks to and fro.

Science has proved that the needs of every


child are different. 20% of the learning is
retained on hearing, 50% on seeing and 75%
when seen and heard. The e learning material
developed by the school and presented
through the LCD screen caters to these needs.

Every year, the students of each class will be


shuffled to different sections to inculcate
better understanding and to develop
cordiality.

A class room is where hope is nursed, faith is communicated and unconditional knowledge is imparted

83
21. LUNCH

All the students will be provided with


nutritious vegetarian lunch on all full working
days.

On those days when the students have half


working day – during examination days and
on other occasions, school lunch will not be
provided.

Students must practise to adjust to different


types of food. The likes and dislikes for a
particular variety of food item or a vegetable
will disappear gradually. On written request,
exemption will be granted whenever a
particular vegetable is allergic to the student.

No wastage of food will be permitted under


any circumstances. Students can consume
food according to their needs.

No student should bring any snacks or


eatables to the school for whatever reason.
Every aspect of the student's requirement
will be taken care of by the school.

Health is Wealth

23. CYCLE STAND

The students should lock their cycles and


keep the keys safely. The cycle stand is a
secured area and there is no possibility of
theft of cycles. However, if there is any
loss due to the negligence of the student,
the management is not responsible.

The students are not permitted to ride


on two-wheelers, other than bicycles.

Quality is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice

85
24. SCHOOL TRANSPORT

Transport facility is provided on payment to and from different localities as mentioned in the key
map enclosed and from stipulated stopping points. A larger size map with details of route and
stopping points is also annexed to this book. The prescribed routes cannot be altered or extended
due to time constraints and other operational constraints.

All the existing transport students can give their option for school transport either for
continuation or dropping out for the next academic year in the month of January of every year in
the prescribed form. Those students, who seek new admission, can give their willingness for the
school transport at the time of admission and remit the fees thereon.

In either case, the parent should specifically mention the stopping point number, as prescribed in
the Map. Change of stopping point is permitted, on prior written request and approval.

During functions and important festival days also, these students will commute through school
bus on suchdays, the change of timings for both boarding and alighting will be informed by
respective conductors on the previous day. The parents are requested to collect the information
without fail and act accordingly.

Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul

86
S.S.M.
Those who opt for school transport and remit the charges along with the first term fee will be
issued with a transport chart before school reopening, furnishing the details of bus route number,
arrival timings at the particular point both in the morning and in the evening.

It is the responsibility of the parents to help the students board the bus and receive them at the
respective bus-stops at the fixed timings, as per the Chart. Parents are requested to be in the
respective bus - stops at least ten minutes prior to the prescribed timings for both departure and
arrival. The students in the respective bus stops will stand in proper order and board the bus. The
younger children will always have the preference in the line and while seating, the older children
will automatically give way with kindness and affection.

The students of Classes IX to XII who opt for school transport facility have to attend the extra
classes after school working hours and on holidays on their own.

The management will strive its best to


operate the transport according to the
timings. For any delay in operation the
parents can contact the school office for
details. Parents should not have any
dealing or personal contact with the
driver / conductor for whatever reason.

You must help yourself to help others

Teacher's Day

The sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching. – George Bernard Shaw.

Teacher's day is the day to celebrate the people who have transformed our lives for the best,
through the medium of education.

We celebrate this joyous occasion in remembrance of one of the greatest teachers of India,
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, on his birthday on the 5th of September.

He was the first Vice-President of India (1952 – 1956) and the second President of India
(1962 – 1966). Dr. Radhakrishnan was, indeed, a versatile genius – a great scholar, philosopher,
writer, orator, statesman, administrator and above all, a great man.

On Teacher's day eminent personalities are invited to speak in honour of the teachers. Students
organise cultural programmes to show their love and gratitude to their beloved teachers.

Mother's Day

O Mother! God cannot be everywhere, so he created you.

Mother, the embodiment of love and affection is praised and celebrated throughout the world on
International Mother's Day.

In our school, every year, the 19th of July, the birthday of Srimathi Sundaravalli, the beloved
Mother of our founder and managing trustee is celebrated as Mother's Day in honour of all
Mothers.

Eminent personalities are invited as guests for rendering discourses and for conducting
programmes with special emphasis on the qualities of a Mother. Speeches are also given by
students and teachers in this regard.

A Teacher affects eternity

S.S.M.
Farewell Party

The children, at the age of 2½, join us in Montessori and grow along with us for fifteen long years
upto the adolescent age of 17 and are ready to fly to outside world in the month of March every
year. Though, the parting is painful, it is for the betterment and future of our students. We all wish
them good luck and bless them abundantly and pray to God for their long and prosperous life.
A farewell party for the students of Class XII will be organized by the students of Class XI in the
month of February every academic year. The students of Class XI act as the event managers. All
the teachers are invited as special guests. Cultural programmes, interactive sessions between the
students of Classes XI and XII and impromptu speeches by the students of Class XII are the
highlights of the event. Refreshments and snacks are provided after the event. The date will be
notified in the school calendar.

Special Functions
Every year Four special functions will be organized to bring out the hidden talent of students of
Classes VI to XII. The students of excellence will have a fair chance to render performance on the
stage and be the recipient of prizes from the chief guest. Every function will be a good gala both
for the students and parents. The dates of these functions will be notified in the school calendar.

27. COMPETITIONS
Various competitions will be conducted for all students from Montessori to Senior Secondary.
Personalities specialized in their fields will be invited to judge the competitors in the
preliminaries and the finals. Prizes will be distributed to the winners on the day of the Annual
Day Celebrations. Our students will also participate in various interschool competitions.

28. IDENTIFICATION OF INDIVIDUAL TALENTS


Every student is gifted with talents and has inherent instincts to come to the forefront in his /her
school life and project himself/herself as a winner. The management will certainly identify such
talents of individuals, nourish the same, motivate the student and will see that every student in
the school is projected as a winner in one area or the other every year on their own rights.

There is no easy way to the top

97
29. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS – AN ANALYSIS

The students are in the school only from 8.30a.m to 4.00p.m for about 180 to 210 working days
in a year. In the changed scenario in the society and existing law of the land, the school has
limitation and restriction in moulding the students for their betterment. But our school is not
willing to find escapism under this guise and be a calm spectator of the happenings.

The school will be strict in enforcing the rules and regulations and to maintain utmost discipline.
The good behaviour, conduct and character are gradually slipping off from the student due to the
drastically changed domestic atmosphere and the exorbitant influence of the technological
invention such as Television, Personal Computer with broadband connection, Cinemas, Mobile
phones, etc. For known and unknown reasons things are getting out of control of the Parents as
the children grow and reach higher classes. These factors adversely affect the student academic
performance to greater extent.

The ground reality which is known to all is only reproduced. But we are perfectly optimistic and
confident that our students can be the best even in the prevailing circumstances. In the last
twenty four years, except for a couple of exceptions, all our Alumni are in best position in life
today, which is very much a gratifying factor.

To battle against the polluted atmosphere, the management will sacrifice all its mite at its
command and create an excellent congenial atmosphere of Values and Ethics, where students
can be well protected and guarded against all odds.

In the school, the students are provided with all the worldly comforts and facilities under the sky
and are in the midst of best educative entertainments coupled with support to mind and
soul. They are fortunate to have a rich and luxurious atmosphere by the great sacrifice of their
parents , who spend enormous money on their education.

With all our sincere efforts and sacrifice, all the students perform academically well and develop
their overall Personality to face this challenging world. For a couple of students in each class,
where the domestic atmosphere is in wanting or parental care is not upto the required level, the
academic performance is below 75%. We toil with such students also to pull them up to the
main stream at par with the other brilliant students.

The parents admit their wards in our school with great hopes and ambition. They also spend a
lot of money on their education for 15 long years, sacrificing all their needs and comfort. But, a
few of them fail to closely monitor the academic performance of their wards on day to day basis.

Life is a wonderful journey from the unknown to the unknown

98
S.S.M.
When they do not insist on their wards the habit of reading / writing for the required number of
hours at home daily, all their efforts become futile. No purpose will be served in feeling sorry
when the students reach class X and above. The efforts and sacrifice must be continuous from
lower classes onwards without fail.

The money power cannot give knowledge and good life to students. It can maximum provide
them luxurious style and spoil their future. Coaching/tuition, at the most can help to score a
couple of marks more in the government examinations but certainly cannot enhance the
knowledge and wisdom which is the basis of the future life.

The transparent projection of the academic performance of the student in the last twenty four
years will prove that all our students are academically strong. There is homogenous sustenance
of best academic performance.

30. TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS

The details of tests and examinations pertaining to each class and the pattern of question paper
will be furnished to the students at the beginning of each year. The dates of tests and
examinations will be as notified in the school calendar. The portions will be communicated to
the students before each test and examination.

31. CONTINUOUS INTERNAL ASSESSMENT:

The continuous Internal Assessment for the Classes III to X will be on the last working day of July,
August, October, November, January, and February of every year.

Every individual subject teacher will award marks for Continuous Internal Assessment on due
dates for their respective subjects and the average of the above will be the mark awarded for
each area of activity and will be entered in the progress card. Any fraction in the average will be
rounded to the next higher number. The methodology of Continuous Internal Assessment will
be given to the student at the beginning of each year.

32. PERFORMANCE REPORT


Classes III to V – The Achievement records, in grades, will be issued after each Term Evaluation
on the dates notified in the calendar.

Classes VI to XII – The Achievement Report will be issued after the Mid Term Tests and Term
Examinations on the dates notified in the calendar.

Be a man of values

99
All the above reports are to be retained by the parents for their future reference and need not be
returned to the school . It is the responsibility of the parent to scrutinize them on the due dates as
notified in the school calendar. Parents are expected to monitor the performance level of their
wards and if need be contact the school in person for further improvements.

33. ISSUE OF PROMOTION LETTER


At the end of each academic year, the parents have to collect the Promotion Letter from the
school on the dates notified in the calendar.

34. SCRUTINY OF ANSWER PAPERS

All the Answer papers will be distributed to the students immediately after evaluation on the
dates mentioned in the school calendar. It is the responsibility of the parents to check with their
wards and go through the answer scripts if need be. The answer paper need not be returned to
the school.

Any discrepancy noticed in the answer papers of the students of Classes III to V should be
brought to the notice of the subject teachers through the students on the following day. The
students of Classes VI to XII should get the discrepancies corrected on the same day immediately
after the issue of the answer papers.

The Term III Answer papers will not be issued to the students. Those parents who are interested
to peruse the answer papers can do so, on written request and on payment of Rs. 200/- per
subject within three days from the publication of the results. The photocopy of the answer
scripts will be delivered to the parents.

Only the following will be considered as discrepancy in the evaluation:

· Answer – not corrected


· Answer corrected but marks not awarded
· Errors – in totalling
· Right answer marked wrong

Be a man to leave a mark on this world

102
S.S.M.
36. FEES AND PAYMENT

The fee structure depends primarily on the infrastructure, facilities and comforts provided to
students and the recurring maintenance cost. There will be an increase in fees every year
commensurate with the requirement and escalation in cost.

The fees should be paid for all the twelve months of the year in four terms – Term I – May, Term II
– August, Term III– November and Term IV - February. The fees should be paid on or before the
10th of the specified month.

A fine of Rs.100/- will be collected for late payment of fees from the 11th to the 20th of the specified
month.

The names of the students who fail to pay the fees even after the 20th of the specified month will be
removed from the school rolls after a written intimation to parents. Such students will be
readmitted on payment of Rs. 1000/- which can be paid up to the last working day of the
specified month.

Any defaulter beyond this date will be issued Transfer Certificate after deducting all the dues
including the term fees arrears from the Caution Deposit.

Parents who withdraw their wards in the middle of the academic year must pay the entire fees for
the term, even if the student has attended the school for one day during the term.

Cost of additional books and notebooks, any additional fees for competitive examinations such
as National Science Olympiad and other miscellaneous items will be added along with the term
fees.

The fee structure of the succeeding academic year will be communicated to the Parents in the
month of December, so as to enable them to plan suitably. For new admission, the fee structure
will be given when they approach the school for registration.

The need to be respected is far greater than the need to be guided

this regard. We presume that all students are in normal health.

It is the duty and responsibility of the parent to inform the school in writing about the specific
health condition of their wards requiring special attention in the normal situation or during
emergencies for follow-up and personal care.

Whenever a student reports of sickness or is found to be ill, he / she will be provided with first aid
and allowed to take rest in the school itself. When the illness requires further medical care, the
student will be taken to the nearest doctor for treatment. Parents will also be informed
simultaneously of such developments.

56. ENTRY OF COMMUNITY

On producing the Community Certificate issued by the Tahsildar, in the authenticated format, the
school will make the community entry in the school records. If the community certificate is not
produced, the student will be treated as an OC candidate (Other Community). The community
certificate should be produced only in the name of the student. A parent can produce the
community certificate any time before the student leaves the school. No community entry can
take effect after the issue of Transfer Certificate. The community certificate of a student can be
either of the Father's or Mother's background that is, the community that they belong to and the
parent has the option to make use of the best that is suitable to them.

The community entry as mentioned in the original certificate issued by the competent authority
alone will be entered in the school records and in the Transfer Certificate.

In the Transfer Certificate, community entry will be made as SC , ST, MBC, BC and DNC. The
specific caste entries will not be entered in the school records and the Transfer Certificate.

The community entry of the student as mentioned in the admission form (along with document
proof) will be entered in the school records and will be communicated to parents on
acknowledgement. This entry will be final and binding. Subsequent change on producing the
authenticated record will be accepted on payment of a fee Rs. 200/-. For all such changes effected
in the school record, letters of certificate will be issued to the parent on acknowledgement. Such
entries will be final and binding. The Parent should safely preserve the confirmation letter
issued in the regard and no disputes will be entertained at a later date without producing the
above letter. In the absence of production of the above letter, the decision of the management will

The names of students and parents will be entered in the school records, as mentioned in the
Admission Form / Transfer Certificate issued by a recognized school. All written communication
to the school should have the same names without any change in the initial, spelling and surname.
The school management can accept only a single name for student, father and mother and the
same name should find place in authenticated records.

Many parents change their names, initials, spellings, on their own and communicate to the school
with the changed names. Such changes in the parents' letters and communication will be simply
ignored by the school. The names of the students and parents mentioned in the admission form
alone will be entered in the Transfer Certificate.

Further, the change of the names of the mothers of the students is a great burden to the school. It
would be advisable if they could decide whether they wish to retain their maiden surname or
husband's surname or as entered in their school/office records, frequent changes will be viewed
very sternly and will be rejected.

If there is a change in the name, either of a parent or student, it should be communicated to the
school in writing for being incorporated in the school records. Such communication should be
sent along with the copy of Government Gazette notification and a fee of Rs.200/-. The changes
carried out in the school records will be communicated to the parent on acknowledgement and
the same will be final and binding.
