Language Lab

In line with our philosophy of providing a holistic education to all our children, we set up a language lab, to increase spoken and written English skills, for them. Our first batch of Class X students will graduate in the academic year 2018/19. It will be extremely important for these children to be competent in written and spoken English to adequately face up to the external environments they will move into beyond the realms of the small villages/hamlets they live in.. This will help to set them up to a solid future and further their academic endeavours and professional careers later.This is a great incentive to all the children in the School to improve their proficiency in English.

A physical space where expert pedagogical aids are made accessible, with individual and group workstation environments with headphones where the students can learn spoken and written language skills. This will facilitate self-paced learning enabled by Software based teaching aids to improve their spoken and written English. The Lab has been set up in a separate Room where a Smart Board Facility is also available with access to web based educational software.

Annual Medical Camp Feb 2019

Our Annual Medical Camp 2019 was conducted, as before by Dr Balasubramanian, our Paedaetrician and supporter from Pittsburg, USA along with volunteering Doctors from Tirunelveli, in Government Service as well as in Private Practice. We were fortunate to have a multi-disciplinary team of Doctors during this Camp.

All the children were generally in good health, with some needing vitamin supplements. Arrangements were made to give them out to the identified students. A couple of children needed further detailed Medical Check Ups and their Parents were called and advised suitably.

Christmas Celebrations

All the children, as in the previous years, had fun time and celebrated Christmas with their usual enthusiasm. Santa made his presence to the delight of the children and distributed goodies.

They had visitors later on who spent a day with them. All were given a treat with Cookies and Milk as a part of the occasion.

Inputs to Teachers

 

We are in touch with a NGO who may be able to identify one or two teacher volunteers, who have completed their course with them, to work in the school for a few months, on a regular basis. They will function as Resource Persons and interact with the teachers as well as students in the class room on various aspects like social skills, societal requirements, etc apart from academics to develop students’ confidence.

Another NGO called Shraddha which trains primary school teachers in Teaching and learning methodologies held a workshop recently with the Teachers of Jayendra and GKV. We hope to take this forward with their active involvement.
