It would not be uncertain to say that Podar World School, Sherkhi believes in making learning a joyful experience for its learners by including ‘Happy Time’ after the first half of the day wherein all students and teachers sway to the latest peppy music for almost five minutes, thus giving vent to stress hormones like Adrenaline, Cortisol, Norepinephrine and paving way to happy hormones asendorphins. Besides the school has also had a few activities carried out on Anti-bullying and continuous sessions held by the ‘Discipline club’ for maintaining a progressive and congenial climate for the instructional process to go on unhindered. The Central Board of Secondary Education, as a part of its thrust on ‘Joyful Education and Holistic Fitness’, urges all its affiliated Schools and its School Leaders to make efforts to convert all CBSE Schools into a No -Anger Zone or Anger - Free Zone.
In this endeavor, an attempt was made to enlighten upon the educators about the detrimental effects of anger and it’s far reaching consequences on the mind and physique of the teacher and the taught. A mini workshop was held at Podar World School, Sherkhi, by the Principal, Ms Preeta Pillai on the 2nd of January 2020 that is on the very first day of re-opening of the school after the winter break. The purpose was to make a resolution for the new academic year by every educator to nurture a very calm and composed front when in class-rooms and with one’s own family, school and towards the society so as to effect an holistic better well-being. A well prepared PPT on ‘Why do we become angry?’, ‘When do we become angry?” and ‘What are the after effects of anger?’ etc was carried out in a very meticulous and interactive session as every teacher had something or other to offer as a part of their teaching experience. Thereafter teachers were grouped and a case study was given to them for which they have to enact and find feasible solutions. As a stimulant there was a dance that served as an energizer to bring about a very positive and constructive conclusion for the day.
Thanks to the Management and the ever concerned Principal, Ms Preeta Pillai, for the timely and invigorating session to create positive and congenial climate for teaching and learning process.
