[DRAFT]

Efforts Initiated or the Process of Transformation

Many of the challenges related to the school are in regards to lack of adequate facilities, poor
infrastructure, inefficient management of co curricular activities, drop outs, lack of required
attendance, lack of practical and inclusive learning. It became important to improve the general
climate of the school by providing a platform and enough opportunities for students to be
intrinsically motivated to learn. The main challenge that had to be rectified was to impact some
values to the students on school culture and that had to be done in a joyful way and not through
lectures and books.

Absenteeism, bunking, smoking, taking drugs, zero involvement of Parents, etc were the areas of
concern.

Bearing this vision in mind, the School Head adopted a different approach to the curriculum by
adding emphasis on ―learning by doing‖, at the same time promoting environment friendly
concepts which the students have been studying theoretically in their textbooks. It was a small
endeavour on the part of the school to basically utilize creative energy of the young minds,
teaching new skills by making effective use of the SUPW and co curricular activity periods,
making use of the available resources and making efforts to channelize more.

All Girls Piper Band

Motivating and guiding the students on the importance of school and curricular activities to make
learning fun was the strategy to be adopted. To bring the children to school by creating a
HEALTHY environment was the need of the hour. Boys/Girls were equally a part of these
problems to me decided to start with the GIRLS; hence as a School Head, I convinced the idea of
formation of an ―ALL GIRLS SCHOOL PIPER BAND‖ which was immediately supported by a
TEAM of few teachers. My team believed in the vision of the School Head and we got down to
work immediately, and we know instantly that this had to work and be a SUCCESS.
