The key to a greener planet is in our hands!

To make our dear students realize the importance of this responsibility, a Paper Bag Making Club Activity was recently organized at Presidium, Raj Nagar. Recyclable, reusable and biodegradable, paper bags are a big initiative towards a healthy environment. Our talented Presidians from grade 3 took part in this wonderful activity proactively. It was amazing to witness their creativity in designing paper bags, which are undoubtedly a better alternative to plastic bags. The students used waste material like old newspapers and magazines for creating beautiful and innovative paper bags. Thoroughly enjoyed by all, this fun-filled activity served the purpose of sensitizing students about saving the environment.

Fishes, the vibrant and fascinating creatures, always tend to capture the imagination of kids and take them into a dreamy world of water. To kindle creativity and let the kids dive into the kingdom of fishes, Presidium Raj Nagar organized a Fish Making Activity for Grade 1 students under the 'Out of the Box Academy'. The students made beautiful fishes in the Paper Folding Activity with the help of Origami sheets. Enthralled with the exposure to this Japanese art of paper folding, the students developed spatial reasoning and enhanced understanding of basic geometric shapes. The activity gave the students an opportunity to explore their artistic skills and also played a vital role in enhancing their cognitive and fine motor skills. It was a treat to the eyes to see bright and life-size fishes all around.

Keeping this thought in mind, Presidium organised the 'Art from Heart' colouring competition for grade nursery to prep to explore the creativity of the students. The students were thrilled to showcase their artistic skills in colouring. They enjoyed exploring the colours and painting their imagination on the colouring sheets provided to them. Proving that colouring is a valuable art of self-expression, the competition encouraged the hidden artist in the talented students of Presidium, Raj Nagar. Expressing their immense love for art, the young artists exhibited abundant amount of creativity and had an extraordinary hands-on experience.

Teaching is a work of heart that inspires and awakens the hearts of others.

"A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops." - Henry Adams

A good teacher touches the soul and instills love for learning in students. To nurture the young minds of students, Presidium believes in building an effective education system by training the teachers regularly. 

With the help of this intensive training, inhibitions were shed and teachers got acquainted with tools and techniques for better classroom management. The teachers got an opportunity for self introspection which helped them rekindle their passion for teaching. 

Such training sessions motivate and empower the teachers so that they could empower our students and this truly serves our aim to create 'Leaders of Tomorrow'.
