Presidency Houses & Assembly

PSBN Houses & Assembly

A student’s performance in tests is a reflection of our own capability as a school. By assessing a student’s application to his/her work on a day-to-day basis, we periodically keep a check on how our methods are faring and necessitate improvements or changes immediately.

Other modes of assessments help us determine the capabilities of every child, so that we can personalize our teaching to better suit their needs. A student’s power of comprehension and assimilation is then assessed through appraisals, class tests, semester examinations and project work. A student’s progress in academic and other allied activities is also assessed and progress reports are sent to the parents periodically. Parents are requested to sign the report after going through it carefully.

Marks are awarded to the houses throughout the year for extracurricular activities through Inter-House competitions in sports, dramatics, debates, quiz, art and music. At the end of the year, the house bagging the highest score is awarded the championship trophy.

Learners are uniformly divided among these houses with the principal objective of inculcating in them a sense of collective responsibility, solidarity, camaraderie, aesthetic appreciation, novelty and leadership. Each is guided by a House Mistress and headed by Captains and Vice captains who steer their respective houses through the myriad activities of the school.

The Houses in the School – Tagore, Pele, Da Vinci and Curie – are named after four eminent personalities whose varied contributions to the world have put them on a high pedestal to be revered by all. These sparkling stars have etched their names in golden letters in the arenas of Literature, Sports, Arts and Science.

Scholastic and co scholastic competitions are conducted regularly under the House System and it is sheer joy to watch the zest with which participants vie to reach the zenith.

TAGORE

“Ore nabin, ore amaar kancha, ore shobujh, ore abhujh, aadh marader ga mere tui bancha”

PELE

“Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man”

DA VINCI

“Obstacles cannot crush me; every obstacle yields to stern resolve.”

CURIE

“We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”

Class assemblies are an excellent resource for students to learn core values about life and provide an exciting venue for them to grow and develop into responsible adults. They also form a significant part of the school’s curriculum to promote value-based education. With schools having shut due to the pandemic, celebrations have shifted online, with all kinds of events – ranging from cultural performances to assemblies – being planned digitally. Students at PSBN participated in special assemblies and various theme-based assemblies virtually in the ‘new normal’ way with the same fervor and zeal in 2020 – 2021.

Giving Your Child an Opportunity to Share Knowledge and Display Talent

Assemblies enrich the curriculum and make the educational process relevant and interesting. Apart from being used as a platform for value education, they also provide a perfect opportunity for students to eliminate stage fear and improve their presentation skills.

Assemblies for Grades I to IX are conducted on a schedule. Each class gets to perform one theme-based assembly. In these assemblies, students portray their message through skits, talk shows, musical concerts, amazing facts, quizzes, thoughts for the day etc. These thematic assemblies help young students grow physically, mentally and spiritually, sensitizing to the challenges of everyday life.

Meticulous planned thematic assemblies are generally chalked out at the beginning of the academic calendar.
