REPORT ON BEST OUT OF WASTE’

As we all know Ahlcon International school always strives for betterment of society and holistic development of Ahlconites in each sphere so, to enhance the creativity and to spread awareness about cleanliness Middle Section of AIS on 10^th Oct. 2014 organized a competition on ‘ Best out of waste’, this was a step to contribute for the campaign  ‘Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaye’ announced by CBSE

All the students of class VI enthusiastically participated in it. They showcased their brilliant creativity by making various things from waste materials. They made photo frames, flower vases, huts, show pieces, pen stands, floating diyas etc. Their thoughtful presentation was in real sense applaud able. The waste material like shoe box, old cds, waste paper, waste bottles etc were converted into beautiful things so that the surroundings will be beautified .Teachers were amazed to see the creativity of these budding Ahlconites.  

This serves as a real life example for the students that ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness. By cleanliness they have understood clearly that it means  the habit of keeping physically and mentally clean. A smartly dressed person with clean habits creates an impression on others. It usually reflects a clean character also. In other words, a person’s character can be assessed how he or she maintains cleanliness whether it’s for the thinking pattern or for surroundings. Here students learnt the true essence of our worthy Prime Minister’s words ‘ An opportunity to work is good luck for me . I put my soul into  it . Each such opportunities opens the gates for next ones’ so to imbibe this thought students have taken this pledge to maintain cleanliness all around themselves.

Inter House English Competition

Middle Section

28^th July ‘2014

‘Global Prospective Indian Values’  is the truism  of Ahlcon. To prepare students to develop 21^st century skills and to enhance  their oratory skills various literary competitions are planned.  It is a major platform for students to gain confidence. Keeping this in mind on 28^th July 2014, an interhouse English competition was organized in the school auditorium.  It started with a tuneful  prayer ‘bind us together lord’.

Competition  was divided into three categories. For class VI poem recitation on the theme humour , for class VII ‘ Spin a Yarn’ on the theme moral values and for class VIII declamation was there. For declamation boys were given the topic ‘Service to Man is Service to God’ and  girls spoke on the topic ‘Money-an Addiction’. All the students recited poems very effectively and they were able to create humour all around.  Weaving a story on the spot requires ability to articulate one’s knowledge and understanding. Class VII students wove amazing stories using plenty of  proverbs, idioms and quotations. They were able to give moral value at the end of each story. Students delivered their declamation so powerfully as everyone sitting was astonished to listen to their speech.

Icing on the cake was the melodious  and soothing song ‘ We are the world’  sung by the group of girls. Each one requires some motivation to perform well and Principal Mr Ashok K Pandey is that motivational force to all the Ahlconites. He encouraged and praised all the participants. He was extremely overwhelmed  to see such a high level of competition. Section Incharge Ms Dimple Puri also applauded  for the participants and the English faculty of Middle Section. She also said ‘Great speakers are not born they are trained’. The program was a great success and it has created a quest in others to participate for next time.
