Due priority is always accorded to sports and games. Our vast play ground with a gallery is a great source of inspiration for our sports and games loving students. Volley ball, throw ball, base ball, kabaddi, kho-kho, track and field events are given practice by our physical education teachers. We have our own modern indoor stadium wherein our sports buffs play badminton, table tennis, tennikoit carrom and chess. We always encourage them to take part in sports and games – zonal, district and state level competitions and tournaments are regularly represented by our students and we have won prizes galore. Karate, taekwondo, silambam, skating are the other extracurricular activities for which we have experts / trainers to train them. Our students participated at national level taekwondo competition and won prizes. We conduct “Sports Day” on every 15th August in a grand manner. Special invitees will be called as chief guests – especially sports celebrity to grace and advise our students. Apart from sports and games for students and staff, various cultural activities will make the sports day a grandeur one. Hoops, Lezium, Pyramid and Malkams are the highlights of the event.

Arts and Crafts

Our school is proud to say we have skilled and trained faculty members to give arts and crafts training to our students. Separate periods are allotted for drawing and also for craft. To inculcate the habit of developing aesthetic sense, our special teachers conduct competitions for the students – winners will be motivated to take part in the competitions held outside. Many of our students have brought laurels to our school by winning prizes in various levels of competitions.

Events and workshops

To enhance our students’ academic and general awareness, we conduct seminars and workshops. Our own experienced faculty and resource persons from outside are often roped in to make our students learn subject related and general information. Our present generation students’ community has many distractions to go astray. Role of social media is inevitably predominant in shaping the destiny of a lot of students. To streamline and bring the students’ behavior in an appreciable way, timely counseling is imperative. So, in order to keep things in right direction, we hold counseling sessions for our students – IX, X, XI and XII std.Students are generally given counseling by our staff and also persons from outside. Career guidance programmes for our X, XI and XII std. Students are conducted periodically from time to time. Never do we allow our pupils miss such an opportunity as such programmes will be of immense use to them in future.

Houses

It is customary for us to divide our pupils in to four different houses namely green, blue, orange and red. Based on the division of the houses, special uniforms matching the colour of every house are given to the pupils. Once in a week, special uniforms are worn by them. Sports events are conducted on the basis of division of houses.

Life Skills

Though life skills are many and varied, some core life skill strategies and techniques such as effective communication skills, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, self – awareness building skills, empathy and coping with stress and emotions are being imparted to our school students. Life skills equip students to thrive in the classroom and in the world beyond. We organize specials programmes to inspire our children learn the life skills. Resources persons from Chennai and other cities are called every now and then and our students are oriented on the main skills needed for their development. Overcoming stress and emotions is vital for the present day generation students, as some of them are prone to deceive themselves by taking wrong decisions.

National Service Scheme

National Service scheme, abbreviated as N.S.S. a unit exclusively meant for higher secondary students functioning very actively in our school is a service oriented one with the motto “ Not me But you” with 50 students on roll, 25 from each XI and XII, a post graduate teacher acts as a programme officer who assembles all the students or a limited number on every Thursday and carries out an activity either on the school campus or outside.

To bring awareness on misuse of plastic, dengue, swine flu, pollution and AIDS, our programme officer along with N.S.S. volunteers holds rallies at regular intervals. Special camps during the quarterly vacation regularly take place comprising many activities.
