Mount Litera Zee School, Contai

Mount Litera Zee School, Contai, recently organised an online workshop, Tips on Examination: Implementing Vertical Progression. Zee Learn Limited’s regional school director for eastern zone Dibyendu Sen Sharma addressed it. Around 200 students from grades I to VIII attended the workshop in two consecutive slots.

Sharma gave tips on how to reduce the smartphone addiction in students by gradually minimising the screen time. He motivated the students by telling them through stories that education was much more than merely bookish knowledge. He explained — livelihood skills, life skills and living skills. “Examinations need not be a dreaded phenomenon. They are an important part of each student’s life as they help them achieve their goals and aspirations. Self-organisation and self-discipline are a must. I always tell my pupils to be prepared and take responsibility for this preparation, just as you can do it. So, we organised the webinar to elaborate the techniques of tackling the strenuous period of pre-examination,” said principal Yogesh Maheswari.

Sunny Prep & High School recently encouraged its students to contribute to Amar Kolkata exhibition in Gallery on Wheels, the art-gallery tram launched by the West Bengal Transport Corporation. The students collected several items related to the exhibition from their families and neighbourhood. The items that included traditional Bengali outfits, Bengali sweets, Bengali films and books for children were showcased in Gallery on Wheels during a journey from Tollygunge to Ballygunge on March 13. The students also made people understand the damage caused by plastic and actively took part in spreading the No Plastic awareness through slogans and pictorial depiction.

“To me, the future generation is the treasure box and being an educator, we need to unlock the door and let them unfold their wings. Keeping this in mind, we planned a wonderful journey on wheels. Introducing to them the global climatic threats and also keeping them grounded to their roots would help them take up initiatives and responsibilities even while being closely in touch with the soil. The activity was engaging and it definitely developed the ownership, pride and the responsibility in their minds,” said principal
Pubali Bhattacharya.

Vivekananda Mission School, Joka, recently celebrated the 158th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on the school premises. Only teachers and staff members gathered at the school for the event. A puja conducted in the temple on the school’s new premises was streamed live on Facebook. The school compound was decked up with flowers. The teachers and staff members joined hands for the puja rituals, following the required safety measures and Covid protocols.

Few teachers prepared the bhog. “Swamiji’s birth anniversary brings the entire VMS family together every year. However, this time, it was a closed-door celebration, following strict protocols of the pandemic. But the puja, yajna and other rituals were performed as usual. Students, parents and alumni were a part of the programme, though not physically but virtually,” said principal Sarmistha Banerjee.
