The school’s curriculum and pedagogical practices in terms of curricular and co-curricular

activities include socio-cultural diversities of the country. Culturally responsive pedagogy

facilitates and supports the achievement of all students. In our culturally responsive

classrooms, effective teaching and learning occur in a culturally supported, learner-centred

context, whereby the strengths, students bring to school are identified, nurtured, and utilized

to promote students’ achievement.We engage in reflective thinking and writing.

We acknowledge membership in different groups imbibing students in our institution from all

walks of life.

We create an inclusive environment where our students learn about the history and

experiences of diverse groups

A sound platform to enhance and showcase their talents in Intra School as well as Inter

School activities is given to our students.

Activities are based on promoting socio – cultural diversities for e.g. Celebrating different

religious festivals, value weeks, class assembly participating in cultural and competitive

programmes and events held by different organizations.

Skill based learning & inculcate leadership qualities

lie inside the academic sphere) & provides skill based learning programs to inculcate

volunteering and leadership qualities among students.

inherent talents and potential. Dance and Drama, Art of Living sessions, Music etc. form an

Road map with respect to volunteering in social impacts :

Our school climate is one factor that is related to our academic achievement and school

discipline. We make an effort to gauge and understand about students’ perceptions of the

factors that can promote equity in school climate as well as in the other social environs. Our

united efforts including the hand in hand aid given by the Counselling Centre, our holistic

curriculum help us combat challenges by inculcating reform efforts, that are the key factors

influencing positive school climate for one and all. Our students generously donate

newspapers every Thursday and the amount collected is used for some noble cause. Doing

our bit for the society is such simpler ways sensitize our students to work for a bigger cause.

Coin for our country is yet another noble initiative which our students are wholeheartedly

participating in, with full zest.The roadmap to volunteer in social impacts is thus well laid

out.
