IMPORTANCE OF ART AND CRAFT

Art and Craft as a subject of the curriculum are generally taken for granted as an entitlement for children in formal education. In the context of formal education, the subject supports the personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural and creative development of the children and enables them to explore visual-tactile and other sensory experiences to recognize and communicate ideas and meanings. These opportunities enable them to work with traditional and various new mediums so that they develop confidence, competence, imagination and creativity.

This subject introduces children to a range of intellectual and practical skills as well as helps them to learn the use of different tools, materials and machines. It provides children with an opportunity to think imaginatively and creatively and even develop confidence in other subjects too. Moreover, it works as a therapy that can yield lifelong benefits in health and well-being. Children may find it enjoyable, motivating and helpful in developing a positive attitude to school and life beyond formal education.

Children are naturally curious. They explore, observe and imitate things around them. Making pictures or modelling things helps children observe the subject matter of the real-world scene they are drawing from more closely, thus making them more observant to finer details in the world around them. It also helps children to learn problem-solving skills as they grapple with trying to create a three-dimensional scene from the world around them on a two-dimensional page. 

HOUSE SYSTEM

The school is divided into four houses –

Shivalik, Himalaya, Nilgiri, Aravali.

The House System is an integral part of the school system. Not only does it aim to give students an identity but also inculcates a sense of pride.

  • The house system provides a platform for the holistic development of students promoting team spirit, house loyalty and healthy competition.
  • To foster team spirit and promote talent among House members, Inter House Cultural and Sports events are held through the year, wherein trophies and awards are given for excellent performance.
