THE CO- SCHOLASTIC AREAS

The Shanti Niketan is amongst the best schools in Jodhpur that believes in the ideology of Harmony as an essence of nature, which emanates life and energy making love visible. Our goal is to make leaner efficient both at the personal and social level, creating extraordinary students. Apart from just learning from books, we also encourage students to actively participate in other scholastic activities. The Shanti Niketan is one of the best schools in Jodhpur, and the overall performance of the students is judged on the basis of achievement in the scholastic areas as well as co- Scholastic areas and activities.

Some of the Co- Scholastic Areas which are included in the school syllabus are as follows:

With these skills included in the Co-Scholastic activities, children will be motivated to do well not just in the classroom and exams, but also in various skill tests. This activity will bring a balance in the child’s mental development, which will help them flourish in all social, emotional, thinking, attitude and area of art.

Several new co-scholastic initiatives have been introduced in the academic session 2019-20. All students from Grades 3-12 have time set aside in the Timetable to pursue an activity of their choice. In addition to music (vocal and instrumental), dance, art and craft and cookery,a host of new activities have been introduced like Mime and Theatre, Quizzing, Pottery and Photography.

ROBOTICS

Our Robotics programme in collaboration with Technoxian has been introduced for all the students of Grades 3-12 and is embedded in the Timetable. The curriculum reinforces STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts coupled with new age technology.

This programme instils hands on engineering concepts at a very young age, providing a fun and practical approach to modern education. It also helps to develop skills such as logical thinking and spatial reasoning.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMME

In order to inculcate a sense of compassion and a spirit of giving to the less fortunate, we have entered into partnerships with ‘Carrer Dishayen’ (……………….. ) and Rotary Club (). We are working with Rotary Club to enhance our teacher development programme. We are planning to further extend and enhance our community service programme.

MUSIC AND DANCE

"A school without music is like a body without soul", said the great educator Don Bosco.Acknowledging the validity of this statement TSN has facilitated learning opportunities of both western and Indian music. Dance and Music has always remained inseparable and so we wish to encourage children to pick up both Indian Classical dance forms as well as the western steps. The aura of our music and dance room projects our vision. It is built with 3D illustrations and figures of famous musicians and dancers from both the East and the West..

PUBLIC SPEAKING

In the highly competitive world of today children need to learn to be better communicators. Introducing them to public speaking from an early age gives them an advantage. Here they learn the art of expressing opinions on a series of topics, so as to tone their oral language skills through diction, voice modulation etc. in addition, other similar activities can also be taken up side by side to make them even better communicators. Some such activities are:

It gives the children yet another venue to broaden their horizons. Our skilled teachers willprovide guidance, direction and opportunity in engaging themselves in a number of fun filled, interesting activities

As a great writer once said, “Somewhere in the educational scheme there must be encouragement for the dreams and the imagination of youth. His shy fancies should be drawn out of him for the good of his soul”. We plan to have our childrens’ creative juices flowing by introducing them to the playful world of creative writing. Language teachers will develop a curriculum to help the students to become more proficient writers while having fun and using their imagination.

GARDENING

To bring awareness in the young minds about the environment and our surroundings, the school is giving adequate emphasis on gardening. The school is also maintaining a spacious garden.

SOCIAL WORK

School social workers are a vital part of the total education team. Working in collaboration with other groups also trains the child on the importance of working in teams. It helps him connect with others to understand their problems. It teaches him to be committed to the pursuit of social justice. In addition to our students, we also hope, parents will come forward to help out in our social work projects.

CULTURAL TRAINING AND STAGE PERFORMANCE

To keep the students grounded to their roots and uphold the strong cultural tradition, regular and well organized cultural activities form an integral part of the schooling system. It inculcates leadership and confidence in each and every student

TENDER TOUCH

Today’s fast-paced world has not only stressed its adults but has also included children in its fold. Grades, homework, peer pressure, teasing and insufficient attention from working parents in nuclear families have taken a toll on the tender minds of our children.

Keeping in mind this rising crisis TSN carries on with planning the various counseling session for the students where the experts across the world keep coming with their specialized area to help the growth and development of our children to decimate the stress and mental conflicts.
