DPSN……… the Place to Be!

India is a land of cultural diversity. We thrive

and celebrate every event as a festival holding

a very significant story behind each one of

them. Festivals are a time to meet and greet

our near and dear ones and share our joys

with them. It’s a time for sharing and giving.

Through these festivals we inculcate the values

of harmony, respect and develop our cultural

ethos which is taking a back seat in our

evolving western culture. This Diwali as we

celebrate let us impart the meaning of every

mantra chanted during the puja, every ritual has a significance impart that information

to the child. The essence of a folded hand Namaste or Pranam, applying of the Tilak and

bowing in salutation to our elders for Ashirvad must be explained to our children.

Every religion has certain rituals to follow which makes us better human beings and

the same must be imparted to the children. Students must be exposed to extended

families which will imbibe collaboration and acceptance in our ever shrinking nuclear

families. Mingling with the elders, friends and cousins broaden the child’s perspective of

a larger family and the accommodations required to adjust which is dwindling away in

the so called “short and sweet family”. We are a nation whose ideology “Vasudhaiva

Kutumbakam -The World is my Famliy”. The phrase is taken from Maha Upnishad of

chapter 6.

अयं बनु्धरयं नेति गणना लघुचेिसाम् । उदारचररिानां िु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् ॥

भावाभावतवतनमुुकं्त जरामरणवतजुिम् । प्रशान्तकलनारभं्य नीरागं पदमाश्रय ॥

एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितििः स्वच्छा तनष्कामा तवगिामया । आदाय तवहरने्नवं सङ्कटेषु न मुह्यति ॥ Let us exalt in the celebrations and include the needy, poor and destitute that need

our love, affection, acceptance and care.

We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best

to those who dream and work. Dr. Kalam's incredible life would keep on inspiring

Indians forever as he had always taught us never to lose hope and that success is

always waiting out there for those who never give up.We at DPS Nashik encourage our

students to celebrate the birth anniversary of famous Indian Missile Man, so that our

children learn few good qualities from him. World Students' Day is marked as

the birthday of A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. It is observed on Kalam's birthday, 15 October. In

2010 the United Nations declared 15 October "World Students' Day".

Creative Corner ‘Solar Workshop’

A solar workshop was conducted in DPS Nashik on Oct 2, 2019 to encourage students to

use solar power at home. They participated very enthusiatically in the workshop and

enjoyed making their own solar power lamps.

School is a daily routine for us.

In the morning, we're sure to make a fuss.

Even when the sun is still not up,

Here we are, awake at 6am sharp.

Late a minute and we have to run.

Eyes half open, shoelaces undone.

We reach school and we see our friends.

Immediately, the torture ends.

We have a chat and go with the flow.

Then the bell rings; it is time to go.

We may at times find school stressful.

To have some fun, we have to bend some rules.

Teachers teach us and give us a helping hand.

They're forever ready to listen and be a friend.

They have built much confidence in us.

Just not when they are being really harsh.

Over the years of education,

Never have we had so much learning with action,

Such as camps, experiments, concerts, and activities.

We've learned so much and even saved the trees.

Students Share Snippets School Life!

A wise teacher once said aloud -

Success is failure turned inside out,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a

group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to

celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want.They attempt to

forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order

collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of

adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an

allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the

apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of

innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

One of the basis of 21st century skills is ‘Information’. Information is supposedly one of

the key aspects to the acquisition of power. InfoQuest was a display of the nonacademic

areas in the student routine at DPS Nashik. It was entirely a student led initiative in

which student volunteers across grades 6-8 presented information and details of skills

acquired by them in various sporting activities, fine/performing arts, STEM learning and

Entrepreneurship.

recognize their potential, take up challenges, build skill sets and emerge as winners!
