Second Tern Newsletter

Here\'s a rundown of all our Second Term activities.

Our Second Term began when the school reopened after the Onam holidays on 12th September 2011. Students seemed to be more energetic and enthusiastic after the ten days of fun and enjoyment. The First Term answer scripts were sent home and brought back signed by the parents.

 

The teacher is the pivot of an educational system. He/she moulds the personality of emerging generations, shapes the society and builds the nation. September 14th, the birthday of our former president, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, is celebrated as “Teachers’ Day” throughout the country. We, the Dawn family, also celebrated the day with a wide range of programmes. The day’s celebrations started with the assembly. Our Principal, Dr. C. Geetha, took on the role of the school captain to lead the assembly and the other teachers participated in place of the students. Thus the teachers got a chance to go back to the golden days of their school life. The student teachers of grade X to XII handled the classes for the day in the role of the teachers. Their performance was judged by a panel of teachers.  Ms. Steffy Joy Pulinthara of grade XI was chosen as “The Best Student – Teacher”. The various games organized by the coordinator,   Mrs. Mary Reshmi, enlivened the occasion. The teaching staff took part actively in all the games. The coordinator took special attention to advise the student teachers who put their maximum efforts to prove their teaching efficiency. The entire function concluded with the distribution of prizes to the students as an acknowledgement of their sincere efforts.

 

National Cyber Olympiad was conducted at the school on 15th September, 2011.  The first of its kind in the country, the National Cyber Olympiad is now a global search competition that aims at identifying and nurturing cyber talent amongst the youngsters. It is as much about inspiring the younger generation to enhance their knowledge and comprehension of issues related to computers and IT as about testing their aptitude in these streams.  It is an international level competition focusing on Mental Ability, Logical & Analytical Reasoning in computers and IT.

 

Dawn International School witnessed the release of its newsletter, Sparkling Ray – Volume 11, on the 16th September 2011. The members of the literature club were in charge of conducting the function. Miss Anna Susan Thomas was the mistress of the ceremony. She expressed her gratitude to all the people involved in producing the Sparkling Ray, in particular, the Principal for her constant support and encouragement. The teachers involved were also thanked for their valuable support and guidance.

 

Education of a child is the joint responsibility of school and home. Open House at Dawn is a platform for discussing the academic needs and problems of the child by his parents and teachers and to take joint action for his fullest academic and personal development. On 17th September an Open House was held for all the grades (from the KG section to grade XII).  Parents and guardians took this opportunity to put forward their opinions and suggestions on the curricular and co-curricular activities. They collected their ward’s achievement records and held discussions with the class teachers and subject teachers.

 

The day of the Open House was more remarkable because Dawn International School presented its 6th Arts and Science Exhibition. The students proved that they are blessed with a myriad of creative skills. The students’ amazing talents were manifested in the charts, experiments and working models which they prepared based on science and other subjects.  Some of the art work created by the students was truly astonishing.

 

Language is a skill, proficiency in which is acquired mostly through practice. External examinations were conducted at Dawn School which helped in evaluating how far the students were succeeded in acquiring the four fold language skills; namely Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.  BULATS (Business Language Testing Services) speaking test for Grade XI was held on 20th September 2011.

The seniors opened their hearts and talked about how badly they are going to miss the Dawn family. A rich reservoir of cultural programmes were organized during the afternoon session. Various contests were organized to determine who would be garlanded Mr/Ms Dawn. The honour of being named “Mr. Dawn School” went to Shin Dong Joon.   In the qualifying rounds towards the title, Ms. Jeong Heilee was named “Ms. Smile of Dawn School”.  Deepak Arun P. was named “Mr. Genius of Dawn School”.   Shin Dong Joon was also named “Mr. Talent of Dawn School”.  The stage exploded with a richness of dance and festivities.  Even the teachers came up with a motivational slogan presentation.  Undoubtly this day will remain etched in the minds of all the outgoing students.
