week celebration of the

school. The school was

bustling with focussed and

motivating activities. The

students were energetic,

enthusiastic, alive and

learning. As we march

towards new challenges we

become conscious of the

ceaseless and timeless

wonder called ‘Dipsites’. It

is this sense of wonder that

has led me on the road to

discovery, firing my

imagination and feeding my

perennial desire to

manoeuvre “Service Before

Self” to greater heights. It

gives me immense pleasure

to unveil before you this

monsoon issue of ZENITH

which indeed reflects the

spirit of Dipsites. With best wishes Dr. Hemlata S. Mohan

From the Director’s Desk:

Dear readers,

The enigma called ‘Dipsites’

had always baffled my mind

till a student of class VI very

succinctly explained to me

that it meant “giving your

best”. The simplicity and the

depth of his answer took me

by surprise. Puzzled as I was,

I realised that a wholly new

and better way of delivering

education and developing the

potential and aspiration of

each individual child was the

immediate need of the hour.

Together with my staff,

students and parents we have

worked towards a shared

vision, our mission being

• To be aware of the

uniqueness of every

child.

• To treat that uniqueness

with loving concern.

• To provide each child

with opportunities

appropriate to his ability

and interest.

• To help each child

develop “I will, I can”

attitude.

• To help each child go a

step ahead and beyond

what he himself or others

expect of him.

Our mission has been

fulfilling and satisfying as

was reflected in the Cultural
