DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL, MARUTI KUNJ
April 2014, it was a month to reckon with! I was informed that my school Delhi Public
School, Maruti Kunj will be competing for the prestigious International School Award
(ISA) organized by the British Council. Our school is known for imparting “Value
Based Education of Global Standards” so being a part of ISA journey was a natural
choice for us.
I was overwhelmed and happy when I was told that I would be one of the 10 Activity
Incharges for this assignment. I was very excited and ideas started pouring in. After a
consultation with the Heads of the school, I was given charge of ‘Dexterous Hands’.
My job entailed integrating activities pertaining to Dexterous Hands in the school’s
activity schedule and initiating communication links with schools from abroad. This was
not too difficult a task as our school has always endeavoured to incorporate innovative
skills in our classrooms. The tremendous enthusiasm shown by the students, teaching
staff, administrative staff and parents surpassed all my expectations. We successfully
completed all the activities within the stipulated time. A few obstacles came our way but
we overcame them with a positive attitude. On conclusion of the project our students
were brimming with confidence and enlightenment.
‘Dexterous Hands’ has honed our students’ skills in research work and community
service. In short, ISA has helped us in breaking new grounds, scaling new heights and
soaring higher. It has opened vistas for our students to gravitate towards experimental
learning.
It is righteously said that one should never give up on what one really wants to do. The
person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.
