carried feathers in their caps, as they won several rounds,
including the Runners Up at Mussoorie International, beating
some of the best Schools in the country.The Hindi Debate
Team led by Devrishi Khanna and Nandita Kachru also won the
Inter-School Hindi Debate with Devrishi as the best speaker.
----------------Humanitarian
Efforts----------------
We do not lag behind in our humanitarian
efforts. The
School does not lose an opportunity to extend a helping
hand, to the weak and the deserving in our society. May it
be the physically challenged or the underprivileged
sections of the society. The School organizes fund raising,
by way of conducting food fares etc.
The Social activities group is
at present funding the deprived children’s school in
Sujatganj area of Shyam Nagar, paying the salary of all the
teachers. The Search Foundation, recently, at a function,
felicitated, and honoured the school for its contributions
in this area. The Honourable Governor of Uttar Pradesh, gave
away these citations at a well attended Public function.
----------------The
Academics----------------
In the academic side, our
reputation has even crossed the seven seas. We have been for
the first time approached by one of the oldest and most
distinguished Universities in America - Washington
University in St. Louis established in 1853. Their Alumini,
parents and friends have asked us to nominate two good
students for a "Dr. Danforth full scholarship" programme,
after screening Sheiling House as one of the best Institute
in India. We are into career counselling, for International
Universities and have the close co- operation of the various
Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates which matter. The
Director is personally handling the International
Cell.
----------------Computer
Literacy----------------
Computer literacy has reached
a crescendo. Our decision to reinforce our
computer section, has given us an edge over most Schools. We
now have a State of the Art
Computer Labs -
thoroughly modernized. Software and hardware, has been
further enhanced, software being developed for all subjects.
A practical approach in computers, by constant upgrading and
a close link with Information Technology, has put us right
on the pinnacle of success, even our Junior section computer
labs have also been streamlined, towards providing
innovative and creative means of teaching the subject. Today
we can be truly called a Modem
Hi tech School.
----------------Multimedia
Classes----------------
The School now has a new Multi
Media Section -
a completely up to date approach to modern teaching.
Glimpses of this can be seen today, in our feature "Down
Memory Lane", Teaching is done through multi
- media projectors, a versatile and innovative way of
teaching. Sheiling House is also the first school to
introduce teaching throughOver Head Projectors in
Classrooms. Results have been encouraging. The psychological
impact through audio visuals makes it easy, for the brain to
retain the important and vital aspects of the lesson taught.
Another step in this direction, is the provision of new audio
visual equipment installed
in our Junior wing, to overcome the drudgery of routine and
monotonous class room teaching.
Management is the secret to
productivity. Rarely is there too little time, but often
there is time used unwisely, Bearing this in mind, we now
have a modern EvaluationSection, comprising
Computers all Networked and connected to our modem scanner,
copier printer / duplicator, for easy accessibility. This
section handles our examinations, tabulation of
results, accounts package, software programming
and research,
Web site designing, database or any
trouble shooting related to hardware or software
implementation, and all documentary vital work connected to
the school. The Section is manned by some of the best brains
in Information Technology.
----------------Celebration----------------
Every festival is celebrated in the
School premises. Diwali the festival of lights was
celebrated. Christmas saw a Santa Claus, jingling a merry
bell and wishing everybody a merry Christmas and a very
happy new year. Teachers’ Day and Children’s Day had the
teachers and students celebrating as one big happy family. A
lot of singing, dancing and joy shared with each other
makes SHS,
more of a happy home rather than just a School.
The Founders' Day Annual Concert in
December was a stupendous success. The parents turned out in
large numbers over the two days and appreciation was writ
large across each face. Be it the toddlers from the Junior
Wing, gyrating to the tune of the Arabian Dance or the
Senior Wing Dancers moving to the beat of the Bhangra, the
crowd lapped it all up as it was entertainment of the
finest kind.
----------------New
Building----------------
“Wattle Grove” our property in Civil
Lines is being further developed and ‘Dilaram” the property
under our control, next to ‘Wattle Grove”, will be merged to
build a State
of the Art School of
our ’Vision’. We plan to give the best of everything to our
children, once we get things rolling. Our alumni worldwide,
have greatly encouraged us in this endeavour. The Committee
is working overtime to make this future enterprise see the
light of day.
----------------School
Magazine----------------
Our working as a strong team has
reaped us rich dividends. We would continue to do so, with
your constant support. Our School
Magazine titled “GLIMPSES” would
soon be reaching your homes. “Glimpses” is one avenue
reflecting the inroads we have made into the hearts and the
minds of the people all around us.
----------------The Sheilingites----------------
Winds of change are sweeping across
the school. You can see it in the confident posture of
Sheilingites. They have an attitude, an awareness, that they
belong to one of the premier institute’s of the city. To be
a Sheilingite means you are a good scholar, a good citizen.
The Board of Governors, all successful business
entrepreneurs in their respective fields, are like proud
mother hens. They shelter their chicks, look after them so
lovingly, they have devoted their lives ‘for others’.
At the end of the day, one can simply
recall the inimitable words of the Bard and describe the
Sheilingites as having the humours so mixed in them that
Nature might stand up and say “There goes a Sheilingite!” |
