PTM & Book Fair (21/7/12)

USSR Week (16-20/7/12)

‘Reading is to the Mind, what Exercise is to the Body’. Reading is like depositing money in a savings account. The benefits compound themselves like interest’. Who can question the pleasures and benefits of the most dignified human relaxation – Reading?

Orchids insists on USSR (Uninterrupted Self Sustained Reading) periodically when each student of every class gets engaged in reading during a specified time. It is a pleasure to watch the productive silence of reading spread in each and every class. This is followed by a book fair. The entire school is involved in it.

Mother and Child Competition (14/7/2012)

Competitions, individual or as a team, teach us much leaving an indelible impression on us. Some offer immense pleasure of participation combined with learning experience. Such is the one organized in Orchids on 14^th July, 2012.

‘Mother and Child’ formed quite an understanding team to make ‘Best out of Waste’ and  many students of classes I-X, participated in the contest cheerfully with mothers beside, guiding them to implement their plan of work efficiently on time. It was a delight to the spectators watching them at work with many things that cannot be thought useful but which went into the making of precious, artistic objects which were judged by our Principal, Mrs. Mona Mehdi who herself is an artist and our Art teacher, Mr. B. Santosh Kumar.

The outcome of the contest was the amazing merge of Beauty and Utility which could be seen in the objects materialized after the contest. What is more important- The bonding of the Mother and Child was strengthened and they carried pleasant memories of the one hour that they had spent together to compete with others. It was a delightful competition indeed!
