24 November The week kicked off on a high note! Monday's Morning Assembly was a special occasion dedicated to celebrating talent. We held the Prize Distribution Ceremony for the winners of the recent Kalolsavam (Arts Festival). It was inspiring to see the students' dedication to the arts being acknowledged. Moments like these truly boost school spirit and motivate students to pursue their passions. 25 & 26 November Tuesday and Wednesday were dedicated to regular, focused class sessions.

Monday to Wednesday: The Routine of a Teacher ​The first half of the week was a great way to settle into the daily flow of school life. ​Regular Working Days: I managed my assigned classes, focusing on lesson delivery and classroom management. The students are starting to get used to my teaching style, and I'm learning how to better engage them. ​Substitutions: I covered several substitution periods, which is always a good test of quick thinking and adaptability!

We saw firsthand the importance of preparation and maintaining a calm, disciplined environment. The pace was brisk, covering nearly every core subject throughout the week. Our duties involved managing the students, distributing papers, and ensuring adherence to examination protocol.I understand! Changing the perspective to that of a B.Ed trainee adds a new dimension. I'll make the tone more reflective and focus on the practical experience gained during exam duty. 🎓 A Trainee's Perspective: Navigating the Midterm Exam Week! Hello everyone! This past week, November 4th to November 8th, 2025, was an incredibly busy and inval...

On the very first day, we signed the register, and the Headmaster welcomed us with important instructions about maintaining discipline, punctuality, and proper classroom management. Throughout the week, we got familiar with the school environment, students, and timetable. We observed classes and began handling lessons with confidence and enthusiasm. The mid-day meal programme was well-organized, ensuring students received healthy food, and we also assisted in maintaining discipline during lunch hours.
