St. Stanislaus High School

Stanislaus School has organized Suzuki violin training for Stds. I & II only with the help of the tutors from the NCPA (National Centre of Performing Arts). Those students wishing to enroll can do so.

The Suzuki method is a way of learning to play music. In the beginning, learning music by ear is emphasized over reading musical notation. The method also encourages, in addition to individual playing, frequent playing in groups (including playing in unison) and frequent public performance, so that playing is so far as possible natural and enjoyable.

Doctor’s Day was celebrated on Wednesday, 30th June 2010 wherein Parent Doctors as well as doctors in the vicinity were felicitated for all the selfless work they do. The main focus of this Doctor’s Meet is to create an awareness of Public Health and Hygiene in the society and plan future medical programmes for our students.

48 students of Standard 9 were taken on a 2 day all expenses paid educational tour of the Silicon Valley of the East- Bengaluru by Livewire Learning as an award for their exceptional performance in the Step Up! programme. The trip was aimed at showing the students how Information Technology has changed India's status in the world in the last 2 decades and how they could be the architects of India's future.
 
They visited the Hindustan Aeronautics Lab Museum and learnt about India's air defence and space programme, followed by a visit to the Supercomputer Lab at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science.

The next day they attended the SPARK programme at INFOSYS that ignited in their minds a spark to think big and achieve excellence. This was followed by a tour of the exceptionally beautiful and eco friendly INFOSYS campus.

The function was presided over by our recently retired Supervisor –Ms. Philomena Pereira and Guest of Honour Mr. Tushar Aphale.

Inspite of it being vacation time for the Stanislites, they came for practices and prepared a programme on the History of Maharashtra depicting the culture of Maharashtra through folk dances like the Farmer’s dance, the Koli dance, Warli dance and the Lavani not forgetting the celebration of Lord Ganesha, the work of Saints and Leaders of Maharashtra. At the end of this, Shivaji Maharaj made his grand entry with Lezim dancers.

The winners of the Best Dressed Indian Outfit Competition and Quiz competition on the History of Maharashtra and current affairs, were felicitated with certificates. Our guests then addressed the Stanislites with a message of keeping the flag of our country flying high with proper ideals.

Yugantar- Teacher Workshop, St. Stanislaus High School, 17th and 24th April

Yugantar, a workshop for all teachers of the school (KG, Primary and Secondary) was conducted on 17th and 24th April 2010 by Livewire Learning. The workshop was focused on two aspects of the teacher’s life; one- the teacher as an individual and two-the teacher as a professional.

The modules for the teacher as an individual focused on Stress Management by Staying Alert, Personal and Financial Security and Time Management.

The modules for the teacher as a professional focused on the changing world around us and how the teacher could harness the changes for his/her own development. The future of education in India and its implications for a teacher’s career and the need for self development in core subject areas/ functional areas were discussed.
Finally the teachers were given some time to introspect and put down their goals, aspirations and action plans in both the personal and professional spheres as an outcome of the workshop.

Tr. Philomena Pereira joyously served St. Stanislaus High School for 34 years from 1976 to 2010. Her dedication and love for the School was tremendous. Cheers to her. May she bask in Glory always and bud forth with promises during her retirement. Good Health! Good Luck! God Bless you! Adieu!
