A Holistic Development and Life Skills Session was conducted for the students, introducing them to the significance of developing the five dimensions of a complete individual through interactive activities, self-assessment exercises, gamification, discussions, and reflective learning. They were introduced to the concept of:
1. Emotional Quotient (EQ) – the Heart, helping to understand and manage emotions, develop empathy and build meaningful relationships.
2. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) – the Mind, enabling us to think, learn, analyse, solve problems, and make informed decisions.
3. Spiritual Quotient (SQ) – the Soul, encouraging self-awareness, purpose, values, and a deeper understanding of oneself and one's connection with others.
4. Physical Quotient (PQ) – the Body, highlighting the importance of physical fitness, health, discipline, and overall well-being.
5. Positive Energy Quotient (PEQ) – Energy and Attitude, focusing on maintaining a positive outlook, resilience, motivation, and the ability to channel one's energy constructively.
Beyond these five dimensions, students were introduced to Goal Setting, exploring short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. Using examples such as academic examinations, they learned how to set purposeful goals not only for their studies but also for other areas of life.
The session also introduced students to Ikigai, the intersection of what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can contribute through their work—helping them reflect on purpose and direction beyond academic achievement.
The session encouraged students to look beyond academics and understand how their thoughts, emotions, habits, choices, and actions shape personal growth, build a positive outlook, and help them become competent, compassionate, and confident individuals.

Futsal is a fast-paced variation of football played on a smaller court with five players on each team, unlike traditional football, which is played with 11 players. The game places greater emphasis on close ball control, quick passing, teamwork and rapid decision-making, making it both technically demanding and highly engaging.
The Inter-House Futsal Competition brought together girls from Grades 6–12, representing the Ajay, Abhay, Amul and Atul Houses. After a series of closely contested matches, Ajay House and Abhay House advanced to the finals, where Abhay House emerged victorious.
In the first phase of the competition, matches for girls of Grades 6–12 were conducted and will be followed by the boys' competition.

Sunday Recreational Activity | Gurmukhi Calligraphy Workshop
Previous
Next
As part of the Sunday Recreational Activity, a Gurmukhi Calligraphy (Akharkari) Workshop was conducted for students. Calligraphy is practised in many styles and languages across the world. Gurmukhi Akharkari is one such form, referring to the artistic writing and decorative representation of Gurmukhi letters, where Akhar (ਅੱਖਰ) means letter and Kari (ਕਾਰੀ) means artistic craftsmanship or creative work.
Students were introduced to the fundamentals of Traditional, Modern and Digital Gurmukhi Calligraphy, along with the tools used in this art form, including brush pens, bamboo pens, handmade paper and ink. During the first workshop, students learnt about the calligraphy pen, ink, the correct way to hold the pen, and the basic strokes used in Gurmukhi calligraphy.
Learning Gurmukhi Akharkari helps students improve creativity, develop patience and concentration, preserve their cultural identity, strengthen their connection with the Gurmukhi script, and cultivate mindfulness through artistic expression. It also nurtures a deeper understanding of their rich heritage, language, culture and traditions.
Art becomes even more meaningful when it preserves language, culture and heritage.
