Marching towards 2018-2019…


The countdown has begun for the new academic year. Families are refreshed with the summer break and waiting for school to reopen. A new academic year is the beginning to a new class, new books, a group of new friends, new activities, new teachers and fresh feelings of joy! Each learner has new hopes and looks forward to the next class with renewed enthusiasm. Along with students, parents are also geared up with all new essentials and of course the set of same old instructions but in a new format😃!

A glance at the last academic year shows the overwhelming participation of our students in all fields. Every opportunity that came their way was fruitful. There were different platforms that included sports, music, oration, art, craft and dramatics. Our students won laurels in Kho-Kho, Basketball, Dodgeball, Handball, Volleyball, Judo, Box- Cricket, Archery, Wrestling etc. They made their mark in the Inter BCG matches, MSSA, DSO and VIVA Tournaments. Out of the total students participated, 56% participants were girls- which added an extra feather in DSRB cap! In Music, our students won laurels at the Bharat Vikas music competition, Ward-Level and the Manibhavan Group singing competitions. Our students also participated in the Rotary Quiz Competition, M.R.Pai Memorial Elocution Competition and emerged meritorious. Again 60% of the participants were girl students, showing ‘Girl Power’ is at an all-time high at DSRB!!!

School reopening is an exciting phase for all. We at school, too, are preparing to welcome our dear students. The planning for the new academic year is in full swing and new plans are ready to be implemented! Setting targets actually helps us to push our boundaries and discover new domains. Some of the past targets like being solution oriented helped us to negate problems and focus only on solutions, attention to team work helped us build a strong sense of co-operation, emphasis on using senses helped us plan various activities like ‘Positive Platter’! With each passing year, we are growing in terms of exploration and experience.

New academic year is a good opportunity for setting a goal. It helps us to be focussed and aim for the outcome at the end of the year. Determination and discipline will follow once the goal is set. Educators can explore new strategies to engage their learners, parents can set targets in terms of spending quality time with their children and students can aim for better performance in terms of cognitive and social skills.

Since all of us are commonly connected through DSRB, it is important to take pride in being a member of the school; in spirit and in action! On the onset of the new academic year let us reflect this joy and feel positive about each day!
