The school picnic was taken to Gangaur resort, Sindhrot which is just ten minutes ride from the school. Students of Std .I to Std. X were taken as a part of school picnic. The picnic for Std. I to Std. V and Std. VI to Std .X were scheduled for two consecutive days, i.e. 23rd and 24th of December 2015. At the resort the students were given breakfast and were soon taken for trekking by the resort guides and their teachers making lines to a distance of 4 to 5 kilometers. The trekking was through undulated sandy ravines with occasional climbing of sandy mounts and walking through thorny undergrowth sighting reptiles on sandy beds and colourful birds perched on tree branches. Soon after the trekking through the sandy terrain, the students passed through a village with houses having walls made of baked clay and wooden ceilings and their entrances quite low in height. It was indeed amazing to see such dwellings just a few kilometers away from the heart of the city. Walking under the shade of the canopy of tall gulmohar and drum-stick trees indeed gave a feeling of a rustic village far from the maddening crowd. Soon after the trekking, the students were back to the resort where they were provided with lunch which the students relished well as they were quite exhausted after the long trek.
The guides at the resort then took the students to the game site where they had a great time playing on the commando net, flying fox, diagonal rope ladder, three tyre hurdle, lip line bubble roll ball, plank bridge, five tyre hurdle, double rope bridge etc. Both guides and their teachers accompanied the children at each of these games to ensure their safety and security. The games lasted for almost 2 to 3 hours and around 4:45 pm the students were gathered and served with snacks before they were head-counted and started for school. Around 5:30 pm the parents of the students arrived at the school and received their children. It was indeed a great outing and a relief soon after the FA-3 third cycle test for both the students and the teachers.
Respected Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai also thanked Mr. Raghav Podar, Gem of India Award winner, and Chairman of the Podar schools who gave his whole-hearted support and best wishes. He also appreciated the students for their dedication, devotion and sincerity towards their spirit of participation
