In our ongoing endeavor to plant the seed of altruism in the youthful minds of students at Presidium Noida, the young philanthropists visited Sparsh Special School. They spent time with the special children of Sparsh and witnessed various learning strategies. The upbeat and brimming-with-life souls of these special children filled the hearts of the Presidians with empathy, admiration and adoration. The visit to Sparsh was an inspiring experience for the Presidians as they saw the special students leading a happy life with dignity and left with a similar zeal to be happy and independent irrespective of all the hardships.

The Independence Day was celebrated with great pride and honour in the premises of Presidium Noida. The school celebrated the light of patriotism that keeps illuminating the spirits of Presidians. The special assembly saluted the great leaders who laid the foundation of the nation. The tiny tots dressed up like the leaders proudly spread the teachings of the pioneers of our nation through dance and music performances which demonstrated their love for the motherland. The magnum opus of the event was a heart melting medley of patriotic songs  sung by the Academic Staff of the school.  With this zeal and profoundness the Presidians pledged to become better citizens and take the legacy forward. 

To grow we must keep posing challenges and stay keen on learning. To foster this growth and to keep the spirits of our Presidians high an Intraclass Quiz competition was organised for the students of grade 3. These inquisitive minds quested for the answers which were closely knitted to their curriculum yet it demanded peculiar observation and great memory retaining power. It helped them pay attention to the details of the lessons taught and also brush their critical skills like observation, creating relations, retaining ability. Therefore, it is rightly said ‘keep setting your goals higher and that’s how you keep learning.

A true friend advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes it all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. Presidium always values the significance of healthy relationships and bonding among peers and elders. In an attempt to take the celebrations of Friendship’s Day beyond leaps and bounds, a special assembly was conducted on this occasion recently. The assembly enabled the students to realise the importance of positive influence in one’s life. It was heart melting to see how young Presidians valued friendship and believed that ‘together’ is the best place to be. Truly, it was an awe-inspiring program which is sure to create an everlasting lasting impression in young minds.

Presidium Noida recently organised a visit to a nearby park with a cluster of rich green trees that brought the learners of grade 5 closer to nature. The scenic beauty of the nature was a food for thought for the young minds. The students differentiated the various layers of the forest: The tallest trees which form the canopy, the medium trees which are the understory of the forest and the small grasses and bushes of the forest that form the forest floor. They always feel sensitive towards the environmental problems so it was a wonderful sight to witness the budding environmentalists educating themselves about ways to conserve the environment and spread the word among all.

‘All world is a stage and all the men and women merely players.’

These words uttered by Shakespeare hold true in the modern world. To bring the vital issues of the contemporary world into action and increase awareness about the socio political issues, Presidium Noida organised an ‘Interclass Skit Competition’. The way students amalgamated the expressions and the content was indeed exemplary. The topics such as women liberalisation, breaking the stereotypes and healthy mind resides in healthy body chosen by the students, were very moving. The rhetoric skills of learners helped them present the dialogues with conviction and it was a pleasure to watch the Presidians take the onus to bring about a change with their skills of voice modulation, expression and exuberant script.

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. 

Taking the philosophy of Presidium, a step ahead and paving way in creation of leaders of tomorrow, the Investiture ceremony was recently held in Presidium Noida 31. The presence of our honourable Chairperson, Sudha Ma’am added colors to the ceremony. She always inspires us to imbibe the values of discipline and freedom in our lives. The swearing of the council with such ardour proved its magnificence in the coming year. The various roles endowed on them were School Head Girl, Head Boy, Cultural Head, Sports Head, and President Social Cause and President of Clubs. The parents were immensely proud to see the seeds of great leadership sprouting in the dexterous Presidians. 

Colin Powell once said, “If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.” To acknowledge the attitude and determination of our Presidians in the field of academics, we recently organized the ‘Academic Excellence Awards 2018’. Presidium is proud to have such excellence and prizes their noteworthy and persistent efforts in academic merit. Our honorable chairperson Mrs. Sudha Gupta graced the ceremony and showered her blessings on the scholars for their academic milestones and perfect attendance. The parents of such brilliant minds were also acknowledged for their constant support and motivation. This ceremony was an assertion of the assiduity and resilience displayed by our students on one hand and the guidance and industriousness of our teachers on the other. It was a recognition and acknowledgement of the scholastic prowess of our children.

Presidium has always made sincere efforts to bring science into action and to accomplish this, a visit to Nehru Planetarium was recently organised. The special attraction of the visit was the sky theatre where learners were awestruck to see the celestial bodies and the vastness of the universe. The teachers then introduced them  to concepts like supernova and black hole with the help of special effects and the presentation of these concepts in a documentary. Through this visit, our teachers fulfilled the school’s aim to keep technology and education hand in hand, while our students explored their new found love for astronomy.

Mere colours can speak to the souls in thousand different ways. How mundane our life will be without the million shades of each colour! At Presidium Noida Sector 31, we tried to appreciate the beauty of this colourful world by organising an intra class colouring competition. The tiny tots of grade nursery were able to enhance their fine motor skills by judiciously colouring the respective areas in the drawing. Students coloured the given artistic sheets with their choice of colours. The idea was to create an aesthetic sense and develop creativity among students. The successful outcome was observed when each sheet has its own beauty and uniqueness.
