SPJ Sadhana School Update

June - July 2010
We began the new academic year, empowering staff for 2 days on “Change in your belief system.” The staff development programme was much appreciated by both new and old staff.

School reopened on Monday, 14th June 2010. It was very stressful with 46 new students, 56 old students also new in their classes, with water leaking everywhere and a construction environment.

Inspite of great inconveniences we courageously went through the month of June. Some 4 classes visited the Jehangir Art Gallery – East African and Indian safari photographs of wildlife.

On 21st June – Akshay Sarin and his team from MTV spent the morning on dance and drama with our tudents. It was mutual education for all. From 24th June to 1st July, orientation for parents classwise was conducted. They were much appreciated as there
are so many new parents.

With the monsoon in full vigour and due to the construction work, keeping safety in mind, we closed the school for 3 days in the first week, taking in the National Bandh too. Teachers came in overtime, changing lessons they had planned so that the student’s holistic progress would be at the expected pace. We had staff meetings assessing the situation, orienting staff to safety measures needed to be put in place so that the students were supervised every moment out of the class. The curriculum for the month was modified to have at least 2 outdoor trips per week to ease congestion in school. This led to additional expenditure for the school on hiring the bus.

  • Grades I & II - Hanging Gardens,
  • Grade IV - Breach Candy fruit market
