Principal's Annual Report, P S Narayanan Principal, Velammal Vidhyashram
Annual Report, Velammal Vidhyashram
2011 - 2012
“Success gives us the strength and failure the desire to succeed”
Honourable chief guest of the day Mr.Bhaskarshakti, an eminent script writer, the guest of honour Dr.Sankaran, beloved CEO Mr.MVM Velmurugan, Dean Mr.Shanmugham, Advisor Mr.Ramakrishnan, Principals and staff members of other schools of Velammal Educational Trust, teachers, parents, my dear students & Ladies & Gentlemen!
As I look back, the academic year 2011-2012 has brought many accomplishments and also made us see the gaps in some areas where there is a definite scope for improvement.
I have immense pleasure in presenting the Annual report of Velammal Vidhyashram for the year 2011-2012 on the auspicious occasion of its First Annual Day celebrations : ‘Navarasam -2012 : Expressions of Life’.
Before I begin, I bow before the grand munificence Mother Velammal, who founded this organisation.
Velammal Vidhyashram has always emphasised on implementation of the CCE norms in all facets of the school curriculum. Some of the systems that were successfully accomplished are:
Utmost care and guidance were provided to the teaching fraternity on following the rule of “learning by doing”. Irrespective of the subject students were made to feel that learning was fun through activity based teaching.
Field trips are a type of experiential learning that gets children away from the traditional classroom setting and into a new mode of learning. Students of Tilak wing were taken to field trips depending upon the topic of discussion to Anna Centenary Library, Birla Planetarium, Milk Diary etc.
Our students warmly responded to help the needy. They contributed a sum of Rs.85,000 towards Chief Minister’s Thane relief fund.
The introduction of preparing class magazine was initiated in a phased manner. Every class right from Jr. KG to std. VIII prepared class magazine. Ms. Jayaseeli, Class teacher of VI E, Ms.Malathy of Class teacher of V A, Ms,Nagalakshmi Class II C teacher and Ms.Kamini Jr.KG A teacher received the prizes on behalf of their class children.
Library book review was introduced this year to develop the language skills in the children. Weekly library periods were utilized for this activity which resulted in the extended learning process.
Velammal Vidhyashram annual magazine titled “DHWANI” is a refined selection of the best works from the class magazines and contribution from the teaching faculties.
TEACHERS DAY
“The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery”. To mark the celebration of teachers day there was a short, sweet and a memorable gathering where the ACo’s shared sweets and a memento was given to all teaching staff.
Green Garden conducted a Handwriting competition for teachers on teachers’ day. The following teachers of our wing bagged prizes.
Ms.Indiara, Ms.Sreedevi P& Ms.Malathy.
Children’s Day
Life, love, and laughter - what priceless gifts to give our children! Teachers of Velammal Vidhyashram, Tilak wing celebrated Children’s day to entertain our students. They presented Skit, Song, Poem recitation etc. Also it made us recollect that there is a child in each one of us.
Teachers get together
Love is the debt we owe one another”, and “Hope can be ignited by a spark of encouragement”. To share this love and feeling of togetherness Tilak wing teachers organised for a get together on 2nd April 2012. It was not only the delicious food that was shared but also the love and care in it.
Corridor discipline
Class pass system was introduced to curtail the unwanted movement of children in the corridor during class hours. This proved to be very effective and students on their part, understood the importance of class discipline.
A good number of students have been involved in comparing the school programme throughout this year.
Club activities
In today's highly competitive world, we have to bear a lot of mental stress and also have to get involved in so many things in order to acquire knowledge. This is where co-curricular activities play a very significant role.
The various clubs, Literary Club, Science Club, Math Club, Heritage Club, Home Science Club, Ecological Club etc, conducted the varieties of competitions to mark the club activity week. Among that the noticeable competition was the Ad-spoof competition, through which the students explored ‘How to make an advertisement’ on the spot. Mr. Ravikumar, Special correspondent, The Hindu Business Line judged the competition and explained the importance of advertisement in this highly competitive world.
NTSE
Nearly 170 of students of std. VIII attempted the National Talent Search Exam (NTSE) which was conducted on 20th November 2011. I am very proud to share it with you that that Pavithra and Tejasri of 8D of our wing were selected for the final level which is to be held on 13th May 2012. Congratulations Pavitra & Tejashri.

TWO WOLVES
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
