Independence Day of India

Independence Day of India

Independence Day of India

When: 15th August 2011

Where: Nationwide

"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom," said Jawaharlal Nehru about this, one of the most important days in the history of the Indian nation. On August 15, 1947, India won its independence from British rule, and that independence is celebrated every year, although in a much more subdued form than on Republic Day. There are no parades or extravagant processions on Independence Day, but most institutions, both academic and governmental, hold a low-profile celebration in which the hoisting of the national flag is the key element. At New Delhi's Red Fort, too, a large public gathering, mainly of dignitaries, is held. It’s addressed by the Prime Minister, who also hoists the tricolour.

Tips for Parents

All the parents of Play Group / Nursery / Junior.KG / Senior.KG are inform that the STUDENTS CALENDAR are given today. Parents are requested to fill up the information and also which is on page no. 3,38,227,228,229.


Tips for Parents

• Remember what homework is for. Homework is important for two reasons: First, learning any new skill requires repetition. There simply isn’t enough time in the school day to repeat things enough times to make them stick. Second, and equally important, is that homework helps children learn the process of learning. To do homework well requires a number of skills that we all use in adult life: keeping a calendar, writing things down, bringing necessary materials home, organizing time to get work done, and remembering to bring it all back the next day. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Some kids need a lot of help just in managing the steps to get the stuff home and back again.

• Perform an attitude check. To be an effective parent-helper, you need to be committed to the process yourself. If you were a successful learner as a child, thank your lucky stars and bring some of that same enthusiasm to your child’s assignments. If you had a tough time in school and grew to thoroughly dislike anything to do with homework, perform a quick attitude transplant and give it all a second chance. That was then and this is now. With your help, your child can have an entirely different experience with school than you did.

• Routines set us free. Set a time for family quiet, a time for doing homework. Try to make it happen during the same time every day. Consider your child’s needs. Some kids do better when they continue the rhythm of the school day by doing homework right when they get home. Other kids need a long break before they are able to concentrate again on academics. What is important is setting and maintaining a routine time. When everyone knows that, say, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. is quiet time for everyone, there are no arguments about TV, phone calls, video games, etc.

• Be a role model. Kids learn by example. During homework time, you can model that adults also have quiet home-tasks to do. Work on your own office paperwork. Write a letter. Do your bills. Read. If a kid doesn’t have enough homework to fill in the time that is set aside for this purpose, encourage the child to read a book or do some reading aloud.

• Put your time where your mouth is. It’s not enough to preach about doing homework. You need to be committed to it as well. During homework time, be available to help, to encourage, and to support. Young kids in particular need lots of encouragement. It’s normal for them to want you to look at what they are doing every few minutes. All kids, even sophisticated teens, need to feel that what they do matters to you, their parents.

• Help your child get organized. Take a few minutes at the beginning of homework time to go over the day’s and week’s assignments with your child. Help him think about what order to do things in. Is there anything that can be done quickly and gotten out of the way? Help your student work from his own strengths. Some kids do better when they can knock off some easier or faster things at the start. Other kids do better to focus on harder things first, while they are the freshest. Can a longer project be broken down into smaller, more manageable tasks? What supplies are needed? Help your child assemble whatever is needed and make a loose schedule for the study time. Remember that this is time well spent. Half of the value of homework is learning how to work.

• Help but don’t do. It is not helpful to help too much. Your child’s teachers need to know what your child does and does not know how to do. They can only know this if they see your child’s attempts and corrections as well as a perfect finished product. You might be able to make a project more “perfect.” You might even help your child to get a better grade. But too much “help” doesn’t help your child learn the material.

• Be curious, not critical. Nothing shuts down a child’s enthusiasm for anything, including homework, faster than an overly critical parent. Kids want to please us. When they feel that nothing they do is good enough, they become discouraged and give up. Instead of judging your kid’s work, approach it with curiosity and interest. Ask questions. Share information. Have a conversation about it. Let your kids know you are proud of them when they struggle with something hard as well as when they actually master it.

Homework Is a Teaching Opportunity

Homework can be a problem for a family or an opportunity to teach a multitude of important skills. Children average from 15 to 30 minutes of homework a night for elementary school kids to many hours per night of study for high schoolers. It adds up. I did the math. The average kid spends 2000 hours doing homework during the public school years. It’s up to us to establish routines that help our children get the most out of those many homework hours.

A perfect time to thank your Guru

Guru Purnima - A perfect time to thank your Guru




Ajnaanang Timiraaandhasya Jnaanaanjana Salaakayaa;

Chakshurunmilitang Yena Tasmai Sree Gurave Namah!



'Guru' in India, holds a supreme significance. Guru is a person with revered personality, who by his teachings enlightens us. He introduces us to the vast world of knowledge and shuns our ignorance. He teaches us, he guides us, he protects us from all sorts of dangers and sins. Perhaps, that's the reason why Kabir in one of his songs says, that if God and Guru stand side by side, the first adoration and worship should be offered to Guru and then to God. This is because through Guru we can recognise and realize the significance of God.



The full-moon day of the month of Aashaadh is observed as Guru Purnima or Vyas Purnima because on this lunar day (Tithi), Maharshi Veda Vyas, one of the seven immortals, descended to this mortal world. He is called the guru of all gurus, for he not only compiled all the Vedas together and systematically divided it into four parts, viz. - Rig, Sam, Yajur and Atharva, but also created an epic like the Mahabharata. Apart from that he composed 18 Puranas, Upapuranas, Vyas Samhita etc. to teach mankind as to how to lead our lives.



Such a genius and gifted personality is not to be found in the annals of literary history of mankind. We all adore and worship him on this day through our own preceptor, who is regarded to be Maharshi Vyas incarnate. So every devout Hindu worships his/her own guru regarding him as Vyas Dev, our Adiguru. This worship of the preceptor or guru has been running from time immemorial when during the ancient Vanaasram period the disciples residing in their Guru?s house used to learn various Shastras. On this auspicious day the disciples used to worship their guru and offer him honorarium in order to propitiate him and obtain his blessings.



Early in the morning, the devotees or disciples take a bath, wear new clothes and worship the feet of their revered guru and offer him food, money, clothes, ornaments etc. as per the their capacity. Disciples of all Hindu religious orders ? Vaishnav, Shaiva or Shakta observe this day because in their guru the disciple finds Brahma, Vishnu, Maheswar and the Parabrahma, i.e. Supreme Soul. This is what is mentioned in the following sloka from Guruvandana:



Gururbrahmaa Gururvishnuh

Gurudevo Maheswara;

Gurursaakshaat Parambrahma

Tasmai Sreegurave Namah



If the Guru Dev is not alive, his portrait or picture should be worshipped with all other rites and rituals. It is pertinent to mention here that our shastras have taught us that our prime preceptors are our parents. And so father, mother and elders too should be worshipped along with the guru and their blessings obtained on this auspicious day. The composition of Maharshi Veda Vyas should be read collectively on this great day.



This year Guru Purnima falls on Friday, the 15th of July

St. John Bosco called Don Bosco

St. John Bosco called Don Bosco, the Father and Teacher of Youth, used many attractive means to educate the young: sports, music, theatre, picnics, personal correction, spiritual direction, confessional counsels, homily, etc The ‘Good Night’ talk was yet another innovative instrument he utilized, to form and transform the heart and mind of his poor boys. Given at night, just before retiring to rest, these brief talks of three to five minutes produced tremendous results. A word of appreciation spoken during these talks encouraged the young to preserve in doing the good. A word of caution prevented them from falling into unhealthy habits. Repeated exhortations made them live a virtuous and dignified life. The Salesian educative system is firmly rooted in providing a ‘suitable educative atmosphere’ to grow. These Good Night talks truly served as effective tools in creating such formative ambience .




The greatest means inspired by Mamma Margaret to build family spirit is the ‘Good Night’ talk . Later on Don Bosco gladly inserted into his pastoral educative system. Given at the end of the day, it invites all to reflect on the daily occurrences, to arrive at inspiring conclusions, and to live a good community life. If we consider Don Bosco as a ‘man of all times and seasons’, then, we need not hesitate to accept this tradition as an effective means to practice the Salesian educative system, Several past pupils of this seminary, introduced it in their boarding's or minor seminaries in their priestly ministry.

SALESIANS: All kinds of people for all kinds of kids !

The Patron of this institution is - Saint John Bosco, who was called Don Bosco, born on August 16th 1815 to Francis and Margaret Bosco in the small hamlet of Becchi in Turin, Italy. Losing his father when he was just 3 years old he grew up in abject poverty and had to face severe hardships and was unable to attend any regular school. As he grew up his own poverty and under privileged position made him increasingly identify with others like him. He decided to become a priest and was ordained as one in 1841. He then dedicated his entire life to comfort , help, education and up-liftment of poor street urchins - whether in the streets, factories or prisons. John Bosco conceived the-:


" Preventive System" of education.

Kids are heart and soul of parents who shower love, affection and provide them right direction for their future.


School Administration and Teachers take utmost responsibility on Safety and Care of the kids who are entrusted to them by parents with lots of trust, confidence and faith.

Schools and Teachers have a major Share in grooming, & nurturing the kids with Good culture, Education and responsibility towards enabling the child to become a respectable citizen of the Country. “
