One Step Ahead, Always!

Delhi Public School, Mahendra Hills has always taken an initiative to incorporate and integrate activities that would enrich the students of Junior Primary and nurture their growth into equipoised individuals. British Council ISA, is one such initiative, which saw a large community of students working together on various activities which were conducted to highlight the message of global oneness. ‘EAST OR WEST BREAKFAST IS THE BEST’ was a project taken up by class II children to emphasize the importance of the first meal of the day.

Working towards a Better Tomorrow, Everyday!

Children who learn appropriate social skills often have a higher self-esteem and show a greater willingness to interact with their environment as they grow. Social activities are a part of the process through which children develop the skills, attitudes, and values necessary to acquire social and emotional competence.

Various social activities carried out by junior primary section are:

• Save the sparrow : The project was envisaged to make the children realize that some birds and animals are becoming extinct and we, in our small way, need to do something. Earthen pots are put up on the trees as shelters and feeders were placed to facilitate the arrival of sparrows. A separate pet corner is also created for rabbits and hens.
• Saturday Soulmate : We at DPS Mahendra Hills believe in instilling in our students the values of caring and sharing for others and making them realize that one must contribute and understand his/her social responsibilities towards society. As a part of this our students visit an orphanage on the last Friday of every month to distribute old toys, books, and eatables.
• Care and Share Activity : This activity forms the basis of the value system of a child; the child needs to be taught to ‘reach out’ to other individuals. In this regard, special assemblies are conducted with the focus to show the importance of ‘caring’ and ‘sharing’.
