‘For God and My Nation’

Since 2005

From the

Principal’s Desk

Divine Intervention School is a co-educational school that caters to students

from nursery up to Class X. It was dedicated on 15 October 2005 at

Luangmual Vengthlang, Aizawl, by C. Rosiama, Senior Executive Secretary of

the Presbyterian Church of India, Mizoram.

One of the determining factors of a good school is its academic culture. It is

the primary source of competition among the top schools, as is shown in the

high importance placed on the board examination results each year. These

results reflect the high motivation of schools to place their students at the top

of the ranking lists, and they also give a good indication of the consistent

academic standards that some schools have been able to achieve. Divine

Intervention School is no exception, and its commitment to high academic

standards is reflected in its good results every year.

However, although Divine Intervention School considers academic

achievement to be very important, it is distinguished from many other schools

by its main objective, which is to create a Christ-centric ministry oriented

education. It tries to inculcate in the students a willingness to fulfill any duty

that they are assigned when serving God and the nation. In order to reinforce

this main objective, Divine Intervention School places great importance on its

chosen theme, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Every student comes to understand and treasure this theme during the course

of their time at the school, so that it remains with them for the rest of their

life.

In establishing a Christ-centric ministry oriented education, all the staff are

expected to set an example in character, behavior and lifestyle to the children.

This helps children become motivated to do great things for God and their

nation. The children receive clear instructions to do the will of God during their

school days through the example demonstrated in the lives and conduct of the

staff. Divine Intervention School is proud to employ faithful and strong

believers who are humble, smart, well-educated and people of integrity.

R. Zochhawna, Principal

R. Zochhawna and his wife B.C. Chami were

missionaries with the Baptist Church of Mizoram for

two decades, serving God in remote corners of

India. After gaining experience of school leadership

in the mission field, they felt called to take early

retirement to begin a dedicated school in Aizawl. It

was commissioned in 2005 along with its parent

organization Divine Intervention Ministry India. It is

a non-denominational organization aimed at

bringing about balanced development in various

aspects of society. Its first project is the school,

which is based on solid principles of faith for the

benefit of children from a variety of backgrounds

and from all corners of Mizoram.

The school is established with a mission to educate

the children to be the next generation of national

leaders, missionaries, church leaders and society

leaders in order to bring about transformation in

the lives of human beings by training and equipping

students with the required knowledge and skills so

that they shall become responsible and useful

citizens of India.

The new purpose-built premises beside Zonuam cemetery in

Aizawl has a safe place for children to play away from the

main road as well as limited space for parking. The school

offers a private bus service which makes it easy for students

all over Aizawl to attend as day scholars.

The new building contains a boys’ hostel and a girls’ hostel

and usually welcomes about one hundred hostellers each

year, with about four hundred additional day scholars. The

new classrooms and state-of-the-art Smartclass facilities

enable students to have a more interactive learning

experience.

School

The ever-growing library caters to every academic field of

interest. It consists of more than 3,000 books that are

useful for students of all ages, from those learning to read

for the first time to those preparing for their Class X exams.

The science laboratory is also sufficient for giving students

the necessary practical knowledge and experience of

chemistry, physics and biology.

Divine Intervention School is blessed with extremely talented

faculty teachers who are highly qualified in a range of

academic subjects. This includes occasional sports coaches as

well as a dedicated music teacher who trains the students in

staff notation and tonic sol-fa. The school also employs a

librarian.

The hostel wardens maintain discipline and provide essential

pastoral care. Many of them have either had degrees in

theology or experience in the mission field; they always help

to build a strong spiritual base in the life of the students.

Facilities

The school has a dedicated nurse and a visiting doctor. The

doctor makes occasional visits to give the students a

medical check-up. The nurse is on call at all times of the day

or night. She takes the initiative of taking students to

consult a medical expert when necessary. The school is well-

equipped with suitable first aid supplies and medicine.

Quiz CompetitionThe prestigious annual quiz competition

enriches the students with knowledge that

goes beyond the content of their text books,

preparing them for success in their

competitive exams.

Spelling

CompetitionThe annual spelling competition motivates

students to work hard at developing their

spelling and English language skills in a

fun context.

Art Competition

The art competition has been organized to

encourage all students who possess

special artistic talents. Wonderful works of

art are produced every year.

Singing Competition

The singing competition is always a

dramatic event with new talent being

discovered every year. Commitment to

regular music lessons helps keep the

standard high.

Foundation Week

Foundation week in October celebrates the

anniversary of the school dedication. There are no

classes and it is celebrated in the grandest

possible way. In previous years the main event

has been held in Aizawl’s Vanapa Hall.

Christian Worship

The school seeks to help the students put

Christ at the centre of their lives. Morning

devotion for the whole school takes place on

alternate days of the week. Students always

take an active role, learning important skills in

worship and song leading. Special guests are

also regularly invited.

Mission Trip

Since 2006, a one-week voluntary outreach ministry

during the summer break has been conducted by

Class IX students and members of staff. During the

past few years, students have gone to Thimphu in

Bhutan. It is extremely exciting and a great change

can be witnessed in the lives of students who have

participated.

Sports

Students are encouraged to reach their

full potential in sports. This includes

parades and traditional Mizo dances, in

which the school has developed a very

high reputation. Most sporting events take

place in the shared facilities at

Luangmual, but the school intends to

develop private facilities in the future.

Hostel LifeThere is a boys’ and girls’ hostel within the school,

with a warden for the girls, a warden for the big

boys and a warden for the small boys. Hostellers

are enjoying staying in the brand new facilities as

well as the new dining hall where good quality

healthy food is served every day.

Hostel life involves regular worship throughout the

week, especially on Sundays. There are many

special events that the hostellers look forward to,

such as picnic outings, talent shows, candlelit

dinners and gospel crusades.

At exam time, the wardens always create a positive

working environment to help the students study to

the best of their ability.

Exams and Awards

The school conducts four Unit Examinations during the entire

school session instead of one and two Term Examinations

conducted by other schools. Performances in the Unit Exams are

duly credited to decide the final results. Keeping parents regularly

updated enables them to know the specific areas in which they

can guide and encourage their children.

Students with outstanding performance in academic subjects are

given special scholarships by the school. At the end of the

academic session, prizes are distributed to students who have

made exceptional achievements in different activities. Students

who face particular financial hardship are sometimes offered aid

by the school.
