PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

The highest form of leadership is transformational leadership. Leadership is not by rank or designation; it is by attitude and by competence. In Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna says, “As the leader, so the people.” According to this axiom, leaders set an example and become role models. A true leader is intelligent, dynamic, energetic, active, self motivated and ready to act and take initiative in all walks of life. At Indraprastha, we strongly believe in the mantra of building relationships because that’s the magic of understanding small things and sustaining it for a lifetime.

 

  • Studies show, that when families are involved in the education of their children in positive ways, children maximize on their untapped potentials and are more regular to school and demonstrate positive attitude and behaviour. The foundation for good parent teacher relationship is, frequent and open communication, mutual respect and a clear understanding of what is best for each individual child.

 

  • The school organises orientation programmes for parents of children who are newly inducted in the montessori, primary, middle and secondary school.  Such orientation programs are incredible opportunities for parents to know what to expect in the coming year and also equip themselves for it. The school explains the pattern for conducting examinations, the extracurricular activities, the support required from parents, etc.

 

Indraprastha Organizes Stream Selection Programme for Parents
 
The school organized a Stream Selection Orientation Program of Class XI for the academic session 2022-2023, for the parents of Class X in the school auditorium. The aim was to familiarize the parents with the available streams along with the subject-combination offered in each stream, the curriculum and teaching methodologies. 
The program commenced with the lighting of the lamp followed by a prayer performed by the school choir and a video presentation of the Alumni of the school. The school Principal Ms Shikha Arora welcomed the parents to the Indraprastha world fraternity reiterating the need for the children to recognize the importance of pursuing the choice most suited to themselves and not one guided by peers or even the aspirations of one’s parents. 
Furthermore, Vice-Principal, Mr A.A. Khan explained the significance of all the streams, their objectives, requirements and scope such as various choices available for different career options through a PowerPoint presentation. He also spoke about new skill courses introduced such as Personality Development, General Knowledge, Quantitative Aptitude etc. He implored the parents to avoid imposing their choices on their children, but rather help them make the best choices. He also appealed to all parents to become collaborators in providing summer internships to students and to be companions in giving our children a plethora of opportunities and experiences.
The objective of holding the session was to orient the parents in order that they guide their children to select the steam most suited to their aptitudes and capabilities. The orientation was therefore a blend of knowledge as well as counselling.
After the doubt session regarding stream selection, the programme concluded with a Vote of Thanks followed by one on one interaction of parents with all the senior secondary teachers.
