foundational key to all success. The theme of

down.

Young Achievers Awarded Success Mantra:

Arts, Science or Commerce…Make the Timely

It is very important for a student to pick what caters best to their individual abilities and not get bogged down by the advice from people around them The need to make a choice what career one picks for life is very important because it defines the rest of your life and the choice should be made carefully so that a person can enjoy their career throughout, with-out any regrets of what might have been. The transi-tional phase from school to college is the most crucial. It is very important for a student to pick what caters best to their individual abilities and not get bogged down by the people around them influencing into making what may be a wrong choice. Thankfully, the education system has seen a change in trends in recent years from the focus, slowly shifting from a career option based on peer pressures and parents choices to one based on ones own choice and capa-bilities. This trend has changed as the industries based on science have met their requirement of pro-fessionals and there now is job shortage where as the fields based on Arts are steadily flourishing with the job prospects being much brighter. The stream which is neutral is the field of Commerce which has seen a steady range of students picking it as a career choice over the years because it has a reputation of being a safe stream with most having an assured job. There are many who are unable to pick between Science and Arts as both are equally important. There are many choices now available to the students which bal-ance Arts and Science and are both creative as well as scientific. If the interest is towards Arts then the mis-take can be easily rectified at the college-level by picking a course that interests them. But if the need is to jump from Arts to Science then it is not possible and often this is where Arts is at an advantage. It would be best to make the final call on your career choice after careful thinking as an error of judgement might not easily be rectified. With the plethora of career options available today, from event management, photo-journalism, corporate communication, gemology, travel planning and the works, the list is endless. All it needs is to find what interests you so that you will have a great time as you study and work ahead.

Seasons Bidding farewell to chilly winter and welcoming warm summer was the right time to recap the theme of sea-sons. A very interesting activity was organized for our Nursery – Prep children where corners for all seasons were developed. Four seasons were displayed which included everything from the things we use, eat, wear in that particular season. Our aim was to make learning enjoyable for our young minds. They could easily relate to the things displayed and were full of excitement to see drops of rain, snowman, jalebis, rainbow , ice cream etc. It was a perfect presentation where our children explained about the seasons very confidently. These ac-tivities not only enhance their knowledge but also give them a platform to develop other skills like communi-cation, expression of thoughts and most prominently courage to present their view.

The Early Man The assembly was being conducted by teachers of class I and II depicting the life and culture of our great grand ancestors "Early Man" As it has been rightly quoted "Necessity is the mother of all inventions". Similarly the early man opened his eyes in the lap of nature and the nature also nurtured them as their mother. As the need demanded he discovered clothes, fire and wheel.

Gradually he evolved himself from early to modern man.
