Extra Curricular Activities
Computer
In today’s fast changing interconnected and technology driven world, it is essential for all of us to transform ourselves accordingly to the new age requirements. Hence we have started imparting computer education to our girls so that they also be responsible global citizen.
Moral Education
Education means mental, physical, moral development of a child. Hence, moral education plays a vital role in the overall development of a child. Moral education is imparted to students through telling moral giving stories, by making them familiar with our ancient culture, religion and by telling them about the life of famous people etc.
Sports
School is not only to help children in their mental development but also to help them be physical fit. Keeping in mind this necessity we encourage students of our school to play and participate in different sports. Apart from Track and field events, TKD, Cycling and many more sports are undertaken we have recently introduced Shooting in our school and developed Shooting Range for our girls in which they are taking keen interest and also participated in state level competitions. In TKD girls had already made school proud by getting 2 Gold and 4 Bronze in National Tae Kwon tournament in 2008 held in Lucknow.
Art & Craft
Through Art & Craft we make our girls more creative and confident. Apart from imparting academic knowledge we need to improve their skill and widen their horizon so that they can see the world through different perspectives and challenge the situation in life and find ways to live.
We teach them to make useful and decorative pieces using waste materials as they have less of resources around them. For example – to go eco friendly, girls prepare dustbins in school by using waste papers by paper Mache craft, use calendar’s back sides as chart papers. Mahendi decoration is one of the favourite activity in which our school girls indulge themselves.
Other Activities

In this students learn and get practical knowledge about garment cutting and tailoring. There are four sewing machines and a display board where student’s best work is displayed. Other necessary tools are also provided to students for their better learning.
Home science room / Kitchen
Separate kitchen is provided to the students where they learn cooking under one of the house activities.
Gardening
Though the village girls are very much familiar with farming yet they need tips for garden work like – growing grass, plants that are seasonal, flowering, making Bonsais, cutting techniques of trees etc. Hence, provide them all this knowledge through professional gardeners.
Details
Transport facility
School owns 2 Buses having 32 seats each. These buses travel up and down to10 villages to collect students/girls and provide safe transport to our students.
Encouraging cultural exchange program
After observing the present scenario of Delhi schools we feel that our students/girls studying in rural areas also deserves the same exposure and overall grooming to cope up with the fast changing life and culture.
For that we organize cultural exchange programme in which we invite students of different schools in Delhi to visit our school. We also encourage and send our school students to attend functions, events, and seminars in Delhi and neighboring schools. This enables them to learn, work and study in the different environments and set up.
On the common platform the students get the opportunity to interact and share their knowledge, experiences, thoughts and also help each other to grow as well as create a strong bonding between two different cultures.
Together we learn, together we grow
