Happy Childrens Day

Children’s Day 2013-14 at Delhi Public School, Janjgir-Champa :

Students of DPS-JC were in for a pleasant surprise on 14^th Nov 2013 (Wednesday). Children’s Day gave them an opportunity to watch their teachers display their talents in a special assembly designed and presented by the teachers themselves. The highlights of the morning were a quiz on Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, the song, ‘Chacha Nehru’, written and composed by the music instructor Mr. Raju Kaushik and sung by a group of teachers, and finally, a humorous skit in Hindi, which proved to be a fitting finale to the day’s events.

With hilarious performances by Mr. P. Padhi, Mrs Lata Pandey, Mr. S. Raha, Mr. P Dixit and Mr. N. Pathak, the skit was a complete entertainer with a very relevant moral – “Ill gotten wealth is soon lost in frivolous pursuits.” Addressing the students on the occasion, Principal Dr. Chetna Sharma encouraged them to make some significant resolution this Children’s Day to improve on their approach to academics and discipline, as well as on their social commitment.

The highpoint of the celebration, though, proved to be the distribution of little goody bags, hand- made by the teachers themselves, to the students. From the little pre-primary tiny tots, to the seniors, no student was left untouched by the care and affection which had gone into the effort.

Deepawali Celebrations at DPS-JC

The festival of lights was celebrated at DPS-JC in a distinctive style, as the school campus took on a holy hue, portraying scenes from Lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. Students took on the roles of Lord Ram, his family, his devotees and the common people for Ayodhya, and a range of colourful images showcased the celebrations that followed his triumphant homecoming, after the epic war which culminated in the destruction of the demon Ravan.

The highlight of the occasion was the representation of Lord Ram’s coronation as the king of Ayodhya, set to the live chanting of vedic verses. The royal court of the ancient kingdom was brought to life through this charming and sublime performance, which moved everyone present with its sacred appeal.

Annual Inter-School Quiz at DPS-JC

The Annual Inter House Quiz competition which was held on 25^th October at DPS-JC highlighted the students’ vast stores of information, as well as their capacity for thinking on their feet.

With confidence and brilliance belying their age, the young participants fielded questions from many diverse fields and subjects. The quiz was held in three groups, and each group faced four rounds of questions. The questionnaire round gave each team the opportunity to parry its own set of questions, while the buzzer round and the rapid fire round had the participants racing against the clock. The visual round challenged them with images of personalities, places, monuments and symbols.

At the end of the day, it was Akash House which emerged the over-all winner. The first position in each of the three groups went to Akash House (Sub Junior), Agni House (Junior) and Akash House (senior). The principal Mrs Chetna Sharma and the Head master Mr RK Tripathi, expressed their appreciation for the participants level of preparation and self assurance in dealing with varying levels of questions.
