Commencing with a pious remembrance to the deities, the event progressed to a brief recapitulation of Baazigar conducted in the yesteryears. Mr. Adeel Sheikh, Head of Commerce Dept., who expounded on this odyssey; was preceded by an inspiring keynote by Mr. Surendra PSachdeva, the Principal. Students across Ahmedabad were treated to the various elucidations of Business Plans formulated by the teams. Each presentation was thoroughly scrutinized by the judges, Mrs Shubhra Gaur, a renowned psychologist and a professor of great repute at MICA, and MrsJyotiSudhir, an entrepreneur and co-founder of Invent Innovations Ltd. The candidates were questioned regarding the feasibility and effectiveness of their model.If there is one thing that each school should be proud of, then that is in the words of Mr. Tharoor, ‘Never the words got redundant’. All the presentations were thorough with new ideas and inculcated in them a sense of budding Ambanis of India.

The topic simulated was “Is India hostile to foreign investments?” The debate bore fruit as youngsters aged from 16-18 years, spoke their hearts out on this topic this is considered insurmountable for youth. This was succeeded by a new and innovative brainchild which s’appelled as ‘Ad-Mad’. Candidates had to brainstorm within a given time frame, and come up with unique way to introduce the product in the market. This event was a conflagration of distinctive ideas in the form of melodious jingles, sui generis role plays, and enlightening posters. The event then proceeded to the final test of business insight, the Business Quiz. The questions were constructed keeping in mind the commercial aptitude of the quizzers. Out of all the teams present that day, 6 teams qualified over their business expertise. It was heartening to see the audience never getting dull for a moment, and taking active participation in the quiz. All in all, it was not a particular team that won, but commerce prevailed over everything else. After an intellectual bout of debating, quizzing, innovating, and inducing new notions, few laurels were awarded, namely DPS KaBaazigar which was accomplished by NirmaVidyaVihar, Most Innovative Idea and Best Ad-Mad which was bagged by AnandNiketanShilaj, Best Debater was awarded to Maharaja Agrasen, and Best Quizzer, which was also awarded to NirmaVidyaVihar.

All the green grocers in Ahmedabad were quite perplexed. They found all their vegetables missing. Upon investigation, they found them at the DPS Bopal Preschool campus!!!

The vegetable market was set up in the campus where some of our little ones came dressed as vegetable vendors and others were ready to buy the fruits and vegetables. These sari clad little girls and moustache painted boys called aloud, “ Bhaji le lo, Sasti aur tazi sabzi lelo…………..”

Some students became the buyers and bargained to get the best discounts on fruits and vegetables. The shopping experience was made realistic by giving them play currency notes. The children were given hands on experience on weighing scales, traditional and an electronic one. Our little vendors carefully tried to balance the scale and weigh the vegetables. The children got the opportunity to see, smell, touch and learn about seasonal and unseasonal vegetables.

Overall it turned out to be an enriching experience for the little ones as they learnt how the market transactions are done with money. They went back home with the excitement of selecting and buying their choice of fruits and vegetables, the next time they visit the vegetable market with their parents.

Prep celebrated “Vegetables Day” where some of the tiny tots turned up in school dressed up as red and robust tomatoes, fresh and green cucumber, crunchy carrot, the majestic brinjal with its royal crown and the cabbage in all its leafy glory. These little angels spoke a few lines about the vegetable they depicted and coloured vegetable mobiles for their classroom. This magnificent show, full of vitamins and minerals, left us with a feeling of health and happiness!!!

Theatre in Education... Knowledge is limited while imagination encircles the whole world, making it relatively more important. With the aim to enable themselves to make optimum use of a child's imagination in the process of his learning a group of teachers from DPS Bopal attended a two day workshop on “Theatre in Education – unleash the child’s potential" at CTU on 11th & 12th September 2015.

Lights Camera Action....... Roll camera ....... ‘Kadak Badshahi’ movie shoot

The shooting for a dance on the song ‘Mijaj Amdavadi’ of the movie Kadak Badshahi took place on 9 August, 2015 (Sunday) at IIM old campus. 30 students from our school of classes 9, 10, 11 and 12 got selected and performed in this song. The practice started at 7:00 a.m. in the morning where they were welcomed by the cheerful Ms. Mallika Sarabhai. The students practiced the sequence for an hour along with the other performers. After a short break the recordings started . After every 10 minutes the formations were changed and shooting was done from different angles.

The most exciting part for all the participants was when the shooting was conducted by a drone which is like a flying camera to get an aerial video of us.Students performed different combinations of sequence which were taught by the son of the filmmaker Ms. Mallika Sarabhai, Devanta Sarabhai. As each school or group of students was assigned a color as dress code, overall the whole group in their respective positions looked wonderful and colorful! The singers of the song along with the composer also danced with the students. One of the singers was the voice of the popular navaratri garba song ‘Bhai Bhai’; he was certainly someone who did not let the level of excitement come down.

The shooting continued till 1:00 p.m. the students headed by the cultural director Snehal Garg (12 G) thanked Ms. Sarabhai for this lovely opportunity and also clicked a photograph with her. She was truly an inspiration for all; her energy and enthusiasm were unbelievable!

A brief description about the Applications and their fees, Transcripts, Tests (TOEFL, SAT, IELTS, etc.), Personal essay, Recommendation Letters, Portfolio, Financial Statement of Support (for F1 Visa process), etc was provided in the brief interactive session that lasted for about an hour.

An important area of focus was the fees and the criteria for getting acceptance by the various Universities. Students were informed that while majority of the good universities would require a SAT score of more than 1850 for admission and consideration for scholarships, there are a couple of other universities which do not require the SAT, but would judge the student based on his/her academic performance in the 9th, 10th and 11th grade, participation in cultural or social activities, recommendation letters, leadership qualities, etc.

Students were guided through the various other related aspects of pursuing education in the United States and recommended to personally research about the freedom of flexibility, guidelines and requirements of the universities they aim for, and narrow down the options accordingly.

Enough food exists to feed everyone in the world, and yet, the United Nations estimates about 800 million people—approximately one in nine are undernourished today. With the objective ‘to feed hungry children and take a step forward to fight the persistence of hunger in a world of plenty and the slow progress of hunger eradication ’, DPS Bopal started a campaign ‘Ek Muthhi Anaaj’- a Grain Collection Drive. The drive started from 10 August 2015 and was open to students and staff members for the whole week. Teachers and students of DPS-Bopal came forward to donate grains like wheat, rice and pulses.

The drive began with a lot of excitement among students who brought grains as much as they could manage. The enthusiasm among students to donate grains was a sight to behold. Even though they were asked to bring a fistful of grain, students went out of the way and brought multiple fistfuls of grains. In the primary wing children donated with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. As days passed, the drive became stronger. The number of children donating grains was more than what was seen on day 1. The value of caring and compassion for those in need was evident.

Jahanvi Galani of class X donated 25 Kgs of wheat and other grains as well.

The same zeal was also seen among the senior students. A sincere desire to help someone in need could be seen in the students. Grains came along in various quantities - rice, wheat, green gram dal and black gram dal - from all the students who wished to see a smile on the face of less privileged children.

Teachers joined hands in this noble endeavour to help the needy people. With their dedicated involvement in the drive, the mission to collect grains became more purposeful and more invigorating than before. Not only students and teachers but also the housekeeping staff donated a variety of grains…which is truly heartening.

Indeed, it is moments like these that convince us that children are truly destiny’s chosen ones… There was a great coordination by staff and teachers to manage this event and a big support from parents who inculcated the value of sharing and helping needy among their children.

Allotting TV time... All children like to watch tv. But there are certain things that you should bear in mind, while watching tv . GO FOR EDUCATIONAL VALUE- Children love watching cartoon shows. but make sure that you find some time to choose channels that will increase children's knowledge, and have some educational value. DON'T USE TV AS A DIVERSION- - Allot special times for watching TV, and stick to its schedule. SELECT AGE APPROPRIATE CONTENT- always keeps an eye on what children are watching. Most tv's today have the facility to block off certain channels, or to put a child lock on them. It is not safe to give the child remote control to browse tv channels. SIT WITH THEM- it is good to sit with the child while watching tv.You can have chats about the shows the child watches. Ask them good questions about what they like. Always make sure that children have adequate outdoor activities, thereby allowing them to interact and play with other children. Also engage them in activities.

“Leaders are not born, they are created”

The quote itself defines the importance of the medium, the creator who moulds young minds into strong leaders! Such miracle is not a one day achievement it is the grueling efforts that are invested in a child at its school. To see the sense of satisfaction of delivering the best brings a sense of joy to the hearts. Such was the day at DPSEast when the new supreme council stood before all with a promise in their eyes to guard and inspire the school students to take care of the discipline and the honour of the school. The Investiture ceremony 2015-16, showcased the members of Junior as well as senior supreme council ready to take the oath for a new and a promising year ahead. The students’ performance took the hearts away. The students of the school band gave an enthralling performance by creating music from the non musical instruments. The students also presented semi classical form of dance and a contemporary dance with an inspirational message. Their performance contained thrills, determination and pride to be a student of DPSEast. The new team and Student of the Year were honoured by honourable Principal Sir Mr. Hitesh Puri .

We wish the new team best of wishes to deliver their duties with sincerity and honesty.

In pursuit with excellence, the little wonders as well as the encouraging seniors put up their views and contested to be a part of the Supreme Council for the academic year 2015-16.

The most important attribute of India is its democracy and today the students could feel the same power within them as they learnt to decide for the best and cast their powerful vote for the benefit of the students and school. The council will be formed comprising of juniors and seniors. Where the juniors had great enthusiasm irrespective of their age, the seniors showed great dedication and responsibility in their words.

‘Handwriting is what registers our individuality.’ It has been seen as the unknowing key to our souls and our innermost nature and has been regarded as a sign of our health, of our intelligence and as an object of simplicity, grace, fantasy and beauty in its own right.

FEEDBACK OF STUDENTS:

It was a very informative session. I came to know about the difference in approach required for a competitive exam and board exam

Ms.Anmol Bhatia, ClassXII-B
Mr.Shrikant’s session was good and it stimulated us to be ambitious. But his talk was mainly confined to engineering and medical. It would have been better if he could have given us exposure about various other career fields also.
Ms. Chaitya Shah, Class XII-B
The session gave us useful tips to tackle the exam and exam pressure. I found the session quite good.
Ms.Anagha Chacko, Class XII –A
The session was too engineering oriented. Career in the field of architecture, design, air force… etc was not discussed. The workshop must cater to students aspiring for other career options too. But I liked the tips given by him to prepare for board exam and competitive exam.
Ms.Vrinda Mehta, Class XII-A

Summer time is at time for relaxation and fun. It is the time when time comes to a standstill and we can indulge ourselves in hours of play and entertainment. But this time which is completely our own, hangs heavy on our hands when it is not sprinkled with some measure of fruitful activity. At the summer workshop, students find that they can learn some sport like cricket, basketball, skating or soccer. Enhancing their drawing skills for a short period every day becomes easy at the Art Workshop. To take a picture perfect, many have joined Photography workshop. Making robots cannot be an easy task but it certainly seems so at the Robotics workshop at DPS. Budding authors and poets could enhance their writing skills by attending the language workshop 'Xpress Yourself'. All in all students enjoy themselves doing something which does not fit into their school routine.

A workshop on Blogging was organized by ‘Satori- Let’s Not Yawn’, a community of literature lovers of the city for the first time at Ahmedabad National Book fair 2015 on May 1. About 12 students from DPS attended the workshop. The workshop started with the basics of how to create a blog and write posts for novices and went on to explain how the blog can be a vehicle of expression and communication. Different types of blogs and what made them appealing to an audience were discussed. The workshop also showed bloggers how they could earn a modest amount through regular blogging. Content writing as a profession was also touched upon.

According to the organizers, a blog was 'a space to call your own' in the virtual world where you were free to state your views and discuss any topic of your interest or even write a diary. Blogging was also a medium to connect with like minded people and 'express yourself' as observed by Antara Patel, who already writes a regular blog. The issue of copyright and mentioning sources for borrowed material was also addressed. The importance of the correct use of keywords and labels as well as attractive titles was emphasized. Later, the students who also happened to be avid readers and book lovers, took the opportunity to browse through the book stores and pick up a few books that caught their fancy! Prior to the workshop, the students were interviewed by 94.3 My FM where they voiced their opinions on the Book fair in general and the workshop in particular. The city's mayor Respected Smt. Meenakshi Patel also graced the occasion and interacted with the students.

An orientation programme by Global Education Solutions was conducted at DPS, Bopal.

This will be added as a part of their paid hobbies in academic year 2015-2016.

‘The essence in the colours evokes an everlasting impression in young minds.’ Colours elicit happiness and comfort, can stimulate the mind and have an energizing effect on mind and soul. Painting in early education is a part of its natural landscape. We can see the easel filled with an array of vivid colours just waiting to be explored. To provide a platform to our young artists to engrain the vivacity of colours, Delhi Public School, Bopal feted Paint Day on 27th April 2015 for grade I and II and on 28th April 2015 for grade III to V. The students enwrapped themselves in varied colours and conveyed their ideas, expressed their emotions while exploring various techniques of painting namely - vegetable, hand, bud, spray and wax painting. The students had aesthetically pleasing moments along with their nurturing teachers as they were incessantly steered through the activity. The event provided a sanctuary for children to look at the world beyond a simple picture. Every child seemed to be a Michelangelo in making, completely engrossed in creating his/her own masterpiece. All the students joyously carried home a souvenir of their own to have an everlasting memory of the jubilant celebration.

y portrait that is painted with feelings is the portrait of the artist not the sitter” – Oscar Wilde. How well was this quotation experienced by the little Dip sites of D.P.S Pre-Primary as they welcomed the Paint Day with full interest and enthusiasm!

Jr. Kg had their Paint Day on 24th, Sr. Kg on 28th and Prep on the 29th of April, 2015. Splashing paint on their paper canvas was pleasurable and creative! They painted on art sheets delightfully

smearing paints. Interesting designs created by them were a treat to the eyes!

Painting is an important part of our little ones’ early education and it appeals to children of all ages. It is full of fun, enhances ingenuity and helps to develop both physical and social skills.

With the mercury soaring with each passing day and the rise in the cases of heat related illnesses, the thought of ‘how to stay safe during summer’ seems to be weighing heavy on every one’s mind. To equip its team to be able to sail through this harsh summer weather, DPS Bopal invited Dr. Amrata K Thakkar, Pediatric , Columbia Asia Hospital on 23rd April 2015, to conduct a session on Staying Safe During Summer. Dr Thakkar shared innumerable useful tips on prevention and insisted on more hydration breaks and restriction of activity while dealing with such cases in the class. The doctor shared that heat strokes happen due to imbalance between heat load and heat loss and that young children suffer from classic type of heat illnesses where as adolescents are prone to exertion related problems during severe heat. How to prevent severity in the situations when one is not well-equipped, were the high lights of this interactive session, which has been successful to a great deal in putting the teachers’ worries for their students to rest and in boosting their confidence to handle any severity related to heat this summer.

Students of Fine Arts are attending a paimting workshop in DPS Bopal by artists from Warli organised by SPICMACAY
