Endeavours and Initiatives 

Club Activity:

2. Experiential Learning: 

                    “All genuine learning comes through experience”

When learning is experiential, it becomes more engaging and fulfilling for children. When children are involved in learning, they learn more effectively and joyfully. To make our learning processes more experiential, we conduct the following bouquet of activities:

a) Educational Excursions

Schools nowadays have made educational tours a part of their curriculum thereby making studying fascinating and engrossing. The school conducts theme-based educational tours such as Nature Walks, Rendezvous with Animals, Know your Neighbourhood etc, to make learning more inclusive of experiences that enrich students.

b) Picnics

The school conducts annual picnics with the primary motive of ‘edutainment’, an experience that combines education with entertainment. Such picnics are usually conducted for the entire school in the month of November.

c) Mobile Planetarium

The Mobile Planetarium exposes students to the planetarium experience without having to visit a planetarium. Students get to learn about the cosmos and the universe that surrounds them, within the safety of their school premises. 

d) Road Safety Awareness

The school also conducts a plethora of activities to encourage students to learn more about traffic rules and road safety. In addition to visiting the traffic training park on a regular basis, students are exposed to a variety of road safety related activities. 

e) Recreational Reading

A good book can be hugely satisfying, can teach you about things beyond your daily horizons, and can create characters so vivid you feel as if you really know them. Encouraging students to read more and read frequently is the paramount need of the hour so that they become future leaders and changemakers. 

3. Disaster Management:

The Disaster Management Committee has been constituted to protect children from disasters and eventualities. Not only are safety measures periodically re-assessed, regular drills for fire, earthquake and lift safety are also conducted to sensitize and educate children.

1.Fire Safety: The school has a fire safety protocol in place to protect children against fire safety hazards. Regular fire safety drills are also conducted to ensure that children are prepared for fire-related eventualities.

2.Earthquake Preparedness- To ensure disaster preparedness, students are regularly exposed to earthquake drills to encourage them to react and respond to earthquake-related eventualities. 

3.Lift Safety: Since the school is equipped with a lift facility, students need to be prepared to respond to lift emergencies and sudden occurrences. 

4.Health and Wellness:

Health and fitness is the key to a long, active and enjoyable life. It is correctly stated that Health is the actual Wealth that a person can retain. Teachers design various activities such as Nutrition Week, World Health Day, Doctors Day and so on to enhance their knowledge about staying healthy and fit, and create awareness among others as well. It also results in the development of a healthy lifestyle for children.

Students need to realize the importance of staying healthy and fit. Also, being the future generation, they can play a vital role in creating awareness and maintaining a stable health regime. 

5.Community Outreach Programmes:

Schools need to consistently provide support to the local community and fulfill their responsibility towards the environment. DAV Nursery School has proudly partnered with NGOs and local units to provide such support on a regular basis. Additionally, such programmes help to build values and sensitivity in children towards the plight of the underprivileged.
