NCC Day Celebration
By Troop 272 - 4(TN)BN NCC and others of CIRS on the
25th November 07
National
Cadet Corps (NCC), International Award for Young People
(IAYP), and International Baccalaurate (IB) students
of CIRS celebrated the NCC day by going on a 41 KMs
cycle rally to raise the awareness of some of the neighbouring
villages on the urgent need for water conservation.
The event was flagged off by the Principal, Mr. Anurag
Sangal in the presence of Headmistress, Smt.Jaya Ravi
Sankar and other staff members.
With well-decorated cycles and smiling faces 70 children
from Class 8, Class 9 and the IB Diploma program cycled
through the villages Alandurai, Narasipuram, Thondamuthur
and Madhampatti in a circular route reaching back the
campus at 6PM. Earlier on, they started from CIRS at
8.45 AM with the clear and bright skies blessing their
endeavour! The children halted at a few places en route
for having the fresh juices and snacks carried for them
by the teachers and other elders accompanying them.
The program was organised and planned to the last detail
by the NCC Officer of CIRS, Lt. M Shivashanmugam, Mr.
P A Srinivasan (IAYP coordinator), Mr S Durairajan (IB
CAS Coordinator) and Dr. Taneja, Chief Administrative
and Financial Officer. Barring five students all the
others completed the rally successfully. The five students
who could not complete the rally gave up about 5 Kms
short of CIRS and were brought back by car to the school.
The students enjoyed the 41 Km rally immensely, though
exhausted by the end of the day, and learned how to
convey messages of national importance to the general
public. They also learnt how to follow the traffic laws
and regulations. They also became aware of the situation
of the villages to some extent and understood to conduct
themselves without causing too much disturbance to villagers
and other civilians.

Dept
of Social Science
Social Science Week Celebrations [15/10/07 to 20/10/07]
In order to sharpen the 'subject-specific skills', the Junior
School mooted the idea of earmarking certain weeks to departments
so that creativity and robust attitude are put in use. Keeping
in mind the innumerable happenings of October in the annals
of history, the Department of Social Science choose October
to try and venture certain activities which are aimed at making
the study of Social Science all the more purposeful.
The first three days of the week were utilized for 'Seminar'.
Students of Std VIII were given a topic titled 'Man-made Disasters'
and they were given ample time to ransack their brains. What
ensued was a quality presentation by the students. Flow, delivery,
Content and time management were fixed as the parameters to
judge the thinking process of the participants. It is noteworthy
to mention that H.H.Swami Tejomayanandaji , the Head of Chinmaya
Mission walked into some of the classes where seminar was
in progress. He reiterated the need to take up assignments
like seminar for career development.
On
17th of October, Students of Std V enacted a few scenes from
the lives of great people. In order to provide a suitable
ambience, the AV room was chosen for this activity. The participants
were charged up to perform in the gracious presence of Guruji.
Under the tutelage of Smt. Geeta and Smt.Anuradha , the students
rose to the occasion.
Students were given yet another opportunity to accelerate
their innovations in the form of what is popularly known as
collage. On 17th of October students of Std VI and VII were
involved in making a collage on the topics pertaining to the
thematic content of the prescribed text. Students of std VI
preferred their class rooms as ideal work spots while the
students of std VIII were taken to Amphitheatre. Smt.Suma
and Smt.Vidhya Devi briefed the students on the topic. From
the word 'go', they started assimilating their efforts which
finally culminated in the form of a good work on 'The Bronze
Age Civilizations'. The amazing part of the work was the care
and concern which the students exhibited in the form of appropriateness
in the way they executed the work. Under the canopy of threatening
clouds, the kids were busy in making a collage on the UNO.
Every member of the team was suggesting some idea or the other
to bring out the content in style.
On 19th of October, Rajsri, Angad and Amantrika delivered
a talk in the morning assembly on 'The marvels of Social Science'.
The Principal mentioned it during the senior assembly to keep
them abreast with the happenings. At the behest of the Principal,
the department of Social Science will convert the speech into
a chart and it will be displayed in the notice board. At 6
in the evening, a quiz was organized for the junior school.
Swami.Swaroopanandaji, the Director In charge, was present
on the occasion. Every house tried its best to fetch marks
that would take them scale greater heights in terms of points.
In the end, the house that performed was able to taste the
fruit of success. On the whole, the Social Science Week went
on well. We thank all the teachers who extended their support
in making it a success. We look forward to the next cycle
of events with vigor and renewed enthusiasm.
