School Schedule

ASSEMBLY
- Every school day begins with the assembly. This helps in instilling a sense of discipline – of the body and the mind – right at the beginning of the day.
- Students from Class-1 and above, congregate on the school ground in an orderly manner. The Saraswathi mantra and Guru Bhrama Guru Vishnu mantra followed by the school prayer sung by them brings about a state of meditation, rendering peace and tranquility to the atmosphere. This is an ideal way to enhance the concentration much required by students and teachers alike, throughout the day.
- The school song, a symbol of pride and honour for the school, is sung on the first two days of the week, Naada Geethe – “Jaya Bharata Jananiya Tanujate” on Wednesday and “Sare Jahan se Accha” on Thursday and “The more you give, The more you get” on Fridays. This reiterates the sense of unity and belonging among the students.
- A pledge and some useful quotations provide food for thought to one and all. A special theme based assembly is organized by anyone class & section in a scheduled manner every day during assembly.
- This interactive session proves to be most invigorating. A bit of commotion complements this motivating activity early in the morning.

THE SCHOOL PRAYER
This is my prayer to thee, my lord,
Strike, strike at the root of
penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear
my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make
my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to
disown the poor or bend
my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise
my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender
my strength to thy will with love.
THE SCHOOL HYMN
God, help us to reach out to others
In the midst of our darkness shining
Let the light of our alma mater shine on us
Set us free from the shackles of ignorance
Shine on us – Shine on us
Shine let it shine
Fill our school with honour and glory
Blaze, spirit, blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow
Flood our nation with peace and harmony
Help us reach out, reach high, reach beyond
God, help us to reach high above us
Keep our feet ever firm on the ground
God, we come to your mighty presence
From the shadow into your radiance
Shine on us – Shine on us
