Nursery and KG

Orientation Programme

2016-17

I
remember myself as an anxious new parent, attending the parents’
orientation programme in RSJMS 7 years ago, as my elder daughter was
about to start her academic journey. I was a bunch of nerves initially,
but soon eased into the idea of sending my precious child into a new
environment. As the programme progressed, all my worries were well taken care
of and I was assured that she was going to be in good hands. This time around,
while attending the same for my younger one, I entered the premises of the
school as a confident parent who knew that RSJMS is the only school where I’d
send my kids.
This year, the Orientation Programme for Nursery and KG for the session
2016-17 was held on 8th April ‘16 in the D.D Auditorium. The parents started
coming in at the scheduled time. Some nostalgic while entering their alma
mater, some as seasoned parents – coming for their second child and some eager
to see and feel the environment of the new school where they were to going to
send a piece of their heart.
A warm welcome was accorded to the parents, followed by an insightful
address by the Headmistress Mrs. Manju Rajput. She apprised them of the
visions, goals and teaching methodology of the school. Slowly, the parents
relaxed and the worried look on their faces was replaced by a happy and
contented one.

A short film, ‘A School for All Seasons’ was shown. It brought back memories
for many and showed a glimpse into the future to others. They got a chance
to peep through the windows of history and understand the philosophy of this
prestigious institution. Clippings of the interviews of famous and successful
alumni of the school, in which they shared their own experiences as a student,
were shown. It was indeed a proud moment for all of us!

In the end, parents were introduced to the teachers of Nursery and KG and
they were asked to have a look at their children’s respective class rooms where
orientation kits were hand over to all of them. All the parents were satisfied by
the end of it and looked forward to the day their children were going to walk
into the portals of RSJMS.
