ACADEMICS-2006-07 |
| |
In an attempt to begin a sensitive appraisal of the place of schooling defining present and future directions in society, our focus this year has been on the theme of “Learning today for tomorrow’s world”. Indeed our pupils are the policy makers for tomorrow, so how do we enable them and their teachers to be the ultimate change agents for tomorrow’s world.
In this direction, through the year, seminars, symposia, workshops and activities were organized towards issues of National and Global importance. The need of the hour is undoubtedly to establish a culture of peace and harmony, not exclusive to any one nation, race or faith, but with the whole world, in tune with our motto – “Vasudhev Kutumbkam : The World is a Family”.
Springdalian education is about the building up of social, capital and ensuring ways in which students can participate fully as members of the community. Our report will reveal to you the many aspects of our all rounded education and how our students display their high level of accomplishment in so many spheres.
Our CBSE results, like the previous years have been quite spectacular in terms of overall competency and the number of distinctions in both class X and XII.
In the Class XII Senior Secondary Exam, 149 students appeared with the pass percentage of 100%. The average percentage of the entire batch was 79% and the total distinctions rose from 487 last year to 521 this year. Our school toppers were S. Suvarna and Arjun Gupta, both with an aggregate of 93.8%. In Mathematics, Gurjeet Singh Madan and Abhishek Bhardwaj secured 100% in Mathematics, while Isha Sethi secured 100% in Physics.
In the Class X Secondary School Exam, 175 students appeared with a pass percentage of 100%. Our topper Rhiya Bansal secured an aggregate of 94.4% with 100% in Mathematics and we had a total of 589 distinctions.
This year 12 students of class X & XII have been awarded Certificates of Merit by CBSE as the top 0.1% of the scorers in the country. We are proud of our brilliant academic students and congratulate them, as also the staff who are constantly striving for more creative methods to supplement the academic courses.
Staff of all Faculties senior and junior have attended workshops both at the school and in parts of the city. Our main areas of concern are to bridge the gap between the NCERT Curriculum and the new evaluation system adopted by the CBSE and of course in bringing about pedagogic change with the advent of technology. From workshops on multiple learning styles and technology, to a lecture and panel on the Declining Sex Ratio, to workshops on English Poetry, our Teachers’ Learning Centre has been busy throughout the year.
For students, the organization of symposia at various levels, contributed to academic enrichment. This year, Sahil Handa and Srishti Kashyap attended the International Summer School for young physicists at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, Canada. They were selected from Delhi to represent India.
A group of students of class XI also had the opportunity of meeting Astronaut Sunita Williams at the American Centre in Delhi. She was no doubt a real source and inspiration to them.
At Springdales we believe that learning must touch our students in a way that transforms their attitudes and ways of thinking. To connect knowledge with experience, we hone talent and develop the co-curricular dimension.

Our activities in this sphere, span, out of school events, both competitive and non-competitive, symposia at the school and Inter-School level, Choir and Dance performances for national events in the capital and ofcourse the many events organized by our school clubs – Heritage, Vasundhara, UNESCO, Mathematics, Cross Winds, Computer Club and Elocution Club.
One of the most enjoyable days of the year is the Inter-House Choir Festival. This year we had the honour to receive Shri Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Renowned Musician of our country to the occasion. Our school Choir is always in demand in the capital. Expertly trained by Shri K.K. Chaudhary, the Choir performed at the Prime Minister’s residence on the occasion of Sadbhavna Diwas, at Teen Murti House for Children’s Day and at the India International Centre on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. We congratulate Dhruv Bedi of class XI for being selected to give a Sitar Recital in front of the Hon’ble Prime Minister on the occasion of Sadbhavna Diwas. Our outstanding vocalists are Krishna Rao, Akshiena Khanna, Shrishti Sangal, Sukarma Dawar and Udbhav Relan.
The performing Arts including dance and theatre arouse much interest and acclaim. Apart from the contests outside school our talented students perform on occasions like - The School Birthday, The Children’s International Festival, The Farewell and Citation Ceremony for class XII, Africa Week and a host of functions.
Quizzing is an activity which has become ever popular in today’s information society and our Quizzers who have done us proud are B. Anurag, Shubhojit Malik and Kartik Aneja. They won the first position in the INTACH Wild Life Quiz and at the Science Quiz organized by Gyan Bharti School. They also won laurels at the district level ‘Adolescent Health Quiz’.
Our school has hosted Inter-School Competitions in which many prestigious schools of Delhi have taken part. The Kusum Verma Memorial Inter-School Recitation Contest which is an annual event provides a platform to the students to display their talent. The Science Department organized the A.K. Saha Young Scientists Experimental Project in August and the Maths Club held the Inter-School Mathematics Contest in October. We also invited many schools to our First Inter-School SPEX Computer Science Symposium this year.
Our students were interviewed by Times Now – a T.V. News Channel for a programme “Back to School” which dealt with issues related to school life. The interviewers were highly impressed by the knowledge and confidence of the children.
Our work with the Sarvodaya International Trust, New Delhi Chapter included all activities related to bringing alive Gandhian ideals in today’s world. We also take part in the programmes of ITIHAAS – an NGO promoting historical activities for children.
On Gandhi Jayanti, the Sarvodaya International Trust organized an evening commemorating the International Day of Non-Violence entitled “In the Footsteps of Bapu”. The Chief Guest Shri M. Hamid Ansari, the Hon’ble Vice-President of India, commended the students of the Delhi Schools for their very meaningful presentations.
From National events like Independence Day Celebrations, to the arena of International Understanding, Educating for Solidarity in a plural world implies an involvement of our students in a variety of programmes curricular and extra curricular that engage them in cross cultural conversation. Our objective is that both staff and students to make more aware of types of asymmetries in the world so that we can build bridges to peoples across the globe.
The year ended with the Winter Carnival and Christmas Concert. |

COMMUNITY SERVICE 2006-07 |
| |
To view education within the larger social context is what makes it come alive and purposeful. We are convinced that our students be sensitized to societal issues outside the school and at the same time learn to appreciate other’s differences.
Reaching out to all members of society and sharing the concerns of those marginalized or deprived, is a feature of Springdalian education that has a long lasting impact on our later lives. Our service to the community begins from the Primary School with smaller campaigns for the needy and where the little ones learn about the larger community.
At the Senior School, we are all a part of the school Community Service Programme whereby classes XI and XII students work in Tamanna, Nai Disha, Aanchal, National Association for the Blind and the S.O.S. Childrens Villages. Our service to the community is not confined to these programmes alone.
“Kaamyaab” an ongoing outreach programme of the school for the J.J. Cluster has completed three years and under our Socical Workers and the Old Springdalians Association, classes in Creativity, Computer and English take place after school and in the vacation. Twelve students of the J.J. Colony have completed their Certificate Course from our Somdatt Foundation Mobile Computer Centre.
“Saath-Saath” our Inclusive Education Programme catering to the needs of our differently abled pupils is now in its second year. We have about thirty students under this programme and have recently introduced individualized education which includes academics and life skills planning to integrate our group into mainstream education. Students from class XI are mentors on a “one to one” teaching basis and the Special Needs Centre affords individual counseling, Computer facilities, group therapy and creative crafts.
Our Scholarship Scheme for talented students of the MCD Schools is now in its second year, with the students of class VI now preparing to merge with class VIIs next year.
Our In-School Programmes have included the Delhi Schools’ Literacy Project Annual Award Giving Function to which Mr. P.K. Tripathi, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister was the Chief Guest. Awards were given out to those schools who had worked with their Literacy Volunteers to add to the literacy figure of Delhi State.
We were the proud winners of the Rotary Club Trophy for best all round performance in Community Programmes and our Street Theatre was very much appreciated.
We held our Annual Blood Donation Camp on October 1st on the National Voluntary Blood Donors Day. Springdales was awarded by Red Cross Society for its outstanding contribution to the cause of society.
Recently our Social Work Department and Senior Staff members have introduced programmes of parent advocacy, peer to peer dialogues and mental health promotion. Springdales has taken up a project with the United Nations under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment on the prevention of HIV and Drugs amongst youth.
Our programmes of National Integration involve our Rural-Urban Exchange with Dewas in Madhya Pradesh. The students from Shreyas School visited Delhi last month and enjoyed the interaction with our senior students, as did our students who visited Dewas for 6 days. Whether through Choirs, Street Plays or Poetry, students display their creative talent in all spheres. We also visited Mewat, a village on the Rajasthan-Haryana Border in an attempt to start another Rural-Urban Exchange.

INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING 2006-07 |
| |
The past year has seen exchange programmes for both students and staff Music for Peace, Sports for International Understanding, Conventions for youth, Club activities of the Africa Cub, the Palestine Club, the UNESCO Club and the Environment Club. We have also received a number of International delegations to the school.
Under the auspices of the Embassy of Austria and in collaboration with the legendry Maestro Ravi Shankar, six of our students were among 28 chosen from the country to embark upon a project aimed at forming the Global Childrens Choir of Peace. Our talented vocalists Kushan Dhawan, Sharang Sharma, Divya Francis, Kamakshi Khanna, Tuhina Kapoor and Divya Dewan traveled to Austria and performed at the Presidential Palace – together with other children from the world over. This musical journey brings together youth from different cultures and through the joy of music, this children’s Choir will spread the message of Global Understanding.
Another significant event was the signing of the Heart-to-Heart agreement by Springdales, Dhaula Kuan and the Experimental School in Beijing, under the aegis of the Ministry of Education in Beijing. The Heart-to-Heart programme is a component of the 2008 Olympic Games. This August, six of our National sports persons had a chance to visit the Pre-Olympic Games in Beijing and in 2008, a Springdalian contingent is invited to the Olympics. We are very proud of this recognition in the International arena.
Our three year Global Curriculum Project with the Impington Village College, Cambridge concluded this year with the visit of the team of staff and students from the U.K. Earlier in July our team had visited Impington and what will emerge as a result of our collaboration will be a published volume on “Peace and Global Citizenship” to be released in 2008. At the 13th Student Leaders Convention at Singapore entitled – “Youth Involvement – International Understanding making an impact on Society”, our students were afforded an opportunity to interact at an international level on issues of global importance.
In a World Essay Writing Contest on Global Climate Change sponsored by PACE and the British Council in Kuala Lampur under the Zero Caroon Campaign, where Anna Sinha of class VI won an award for her essay on Water – a Boon or a Curse. Under the auspices of the Seagull Foundation for the arts in Calcutta, our students contributed to the Stories for Peace Project. “Earth Day” held special significance this year when our Environmental Club – Vasundhara put on an Earth Day Parade which was sponsored by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
At the Royal Commonwealth Essay Writing Contest, four of our students Arushi Wig, Isha Sen, Medha Raju and Surabhi Chaturvedi received certificates of high commendation.
We received a seven member students delegations from the Italian High School and the Liceo Scientifico Statli Gandhi led by Professor Guilteo Viscione, Principal of the school, courtesy the ICCR. A delegation from the Nanyang Primary School in Singapore also visited Springdales in August.
A delegation of eleven students from standards VII to XII went on an educational trip to France and Spain. The tour provided a golden opportunity to experience he cultural heritage of two European countries.
Our in-school special functions include Africa Week and its Valedictory Function where we received H.E. Mr. Sehloho Francis Moloi, High Commissioner of South Africa as the Chief Guest, the International Children’s Festival, World Heritage Day, Hiroshima Day and Human Rights Day. It was a matter of pride for us to sing South African Freedom songs for Archbishop Reverend Tutu at the Gandhi King Plaza.
From Ubuntu to Ahimsa, we are guided by common aspirations and it is always joyous and challenging to work with children and young adults who will no doubt make the world of tomorrow !
We now move steadily and surely, acting upon many of the challenges that will come our way. Schools are intimately woven into the social structure of our society and at Springdales we work as a community school. We believe strongly that the concept of knowledge and its location in the lived in world is crucial to provide opportunities and responsibilities for our future citizens of tomorrow.
Springdales is an ever growing family whose spirit transcends school boundaries to extend to the whole family of human kind. Our Springdalians are our inspiration and hope for the future and let us help them to become proud Indians and world citizens for the planet of tomorrow.
