Competitive Examinations
Cooking without gas
Cooking is a skill only possessed by a few students at their age. Another challenge is to make something tasty and palatable without the use of any fuel for cooking. This competition makes the students think creatively in different ways to find the solution of a simple problem with a few limitations. Students get into teams of 3 and cook anything of their choice in a limited amount of time. The competition is safe as well, as it does not involve the use of any stove or heat. Their dishes are judged on the basis of creativity and taste to declare the winner, but every participant is sure to have a lot of fun and learn some skills at the same time.
Debating
This competition aims at improving a students’ public speaking skills and helps them fend for themselves in a world where people who stand apart are respected. Student learns to express his opinion more confidently which in turn leads people to take them more seriously. Our class organises such debating competitions on topics of social awareness or even those related to academics so students have a deeper understanding of the concept at hand.
Drawing
This competition is aimed at encouraging the budding artists of tomorrow. A theme is decided on which students are supposed to draw and paint in a given time limit, These are then displayed to a panel of judges which score them and a winner is decided.
Best out of waste
We all are well aware of the massive amounts of waste that is being generated daily. Also the fact that we are not yet at the stage where generation and reutilization of waste is at the same rate. This leads to there being a lot of waste accumulated which harms the surroundings. Best out of waste is a small contribution to the environment. Students are encouraged to make artistic products or useful items from things which were supposed to be thrown. This also helps create awareness among young minds at an early stage which in future will lead to them being responsible citizens.
Speech
The students are allotted a topic and have to give a brief speech in a limited amount of time. Public speaking is a skill very few people possess, but it can be developed by practice. It is an extremely valuable soft skill which can come in handy in any phase of life. It also leads to development of confidence in students. Our class conducts this competition on topics of social importance or topics relevant to the students’ course to make sure the students learn something in the process.
Map Making
Cartography is one of the important technique amongst all. In our class we always conduct a competition based on Map skill in which we ask students to draw maps and different cartographic sketches and plans. The only purpose behind it is to develop some skills like map skills, space ability, reasoning, logic etc. within students which will be helpful for the subjects like Geography and History and they will get good marks in these subjects.
