Theatre and Literary club activity was held on 30.10.2021 (Saturday) from 9.00am to 10.00am virtually through Microsoft Teams, for classes VI – IX. It was a lively day filled with energy and zeal.
The day's activity began with the prayer song. Text Sparkle activity was introduced by Ms.Bagiya Lakshmi, the teacher in-charge of the Theatre club. A poem was screened, and the students had to understand and select a line from the poem to be enacted. The other student members identified the poetic line portrayed through facial expressions and gestures. Students took turns and completed the activity with great excitement.
This activity helped students understand the old-aged proverb 'action speaks louder than words' and also gained self-confidence with wonderful facial expression.
Mrs.Yolanda Mcpherson, teacher in-charge of the literary club conducted the activity 'Three Corner Debate'. A brief introduction about the activity was shared. 'BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW' was the topic chosen for discussion. Students were given an opportunity to choose one of the corners –'Agree', 'Disagree' and 'Not Sure' and share their opinions based on their choice. Students put forth relevant and adequate points to support their views.
The activity provided an exposure for the students to develop their speaking and decision making skills. The activity helped students gain confidence to express their point of views without any inhibition.

"As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are – what others say is irrelevant."

An interactive program "I Can" was conducted by Global Adjustments Foundation for the students of 11th grade on the 23rd Oct 2021. Self-esteem is something teenagers lack either by comments by peers or by not believing in themselves. Being in the most important years of life, students need to choose the path they are going to pursue for the rest of their lives. Self-esteem and confidence are the two qualities which students must possess to know what is best for them and continue their studies. "I Can" was a confidence building program to improve the self-esteem and confidence of the students. The program was based on what the students Can do instead of the Cannot and what they would like to be known for later in their life. It was about the type of person they want to be in the future and the personality traits they would want to imbibe in the future.
The interactive session had questionnaires to which students enthusiastically answered and pondered upon. The session got the students thinking about aspects which they have not normally thought of before. The session helped to lead the young minds to acquire a lot of information and learning. The next two sessions would lead the students to find ways to think about what they can achieve in their lives with confidence and self-esteem.
