   DIWALI SPECIAL ASSEMBLY

 Date : 21st October,2014


ARWACHIN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL celebrated the festival of Diwali on 21st October, 2014. The function was graced by the Director Mr. Sharma and the Principal Mrs. Gracy Peter. The programme was hosted by Ridhima and Arpita of VIII-B. The auspicious occasion of Diwali started with the lighting of the lamp by the Director and the Prinicipal.

The cultural programme started with the depiction of an act showing ‘Lord Rama’s Return to Ayodhaya’, an episode from the immortal tale of Ramayana. The programme proceeded with the joyous celebration of the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshmana through a dance followed by a duet performance on the song ‘Mile Hai Chirago Ke…... Then Arwachinians presented a song ‘Light the World’ which gave us a message that the true joy is when you see someone else smile. So everyone joined them together by promising themselves to try their best to destroy the evil and spread goodness all over the Earth.

The celebration of Diwali is not simply about lighting diyas, igniting the rockets and bursting crackers, but it’s also the time to be safe from the fireworks and all the sparklers. So, the next programme was again an act acquainting everyone with the threat that celebrations of Diwali poses to our environment. It also sensitized us to the harm caused from crackers. The children were very excited and they expressed their excitement and enthusiasm through a song Deva Shree Ganesha. Last but not the least, was a wonderful dance performance which thrilled the audience and filled the auditorium with the thunder of applauds for all the participants.

In the end, our Director  Mr. Sharma appreciated and encouraged all the students and teachers for their efforts. He laid stress on celebrating an eco-friendly diwali. Our Principal Mrs. Peter thanked Mr. Sharma for his valuable thoughts. Other than celebrating a safe and green diwali, she emphasized that diwali is the time of giving and sharing, the time to catch up with people and moreover, it’s about maintaining relationships.

The Diwali programme was concluded by the  singing of the National Anthem.

          The students of classes 4 to 6 assembled in the school auditorium to celebrate Gandhi Jayanti.  Many students spoke about  the character and habits of young Gandhi. 

                  They even shared the information of his role as a freedom fighter and how he led the  entire world with his non violent ways. The students recited the poems. Manu Rai stole everyone’s heart by singing the song “Vaishnav Jan To……..” The Cleanliness drive  “Swachch Bharat Abhiyan” initiated by our honourable prime minister, Mr. N. Modi,  was executed by the young  Arwachinians with full force. The students pledged to  keep their surroundings clean. They promised that it is not going to be just a day’s task.

                  Class 4 A (i) presented its assembly. The theme was “Hum India Wale hain.” The young dancers danced to the tunes of Dulhan Chali, Made in India and Hai preet jahan ki reet sada. Te bhangra boys filled the air with patriotism when they danced to the tunes of the song“Rang de basanti.” Finally it ended with an electric performance on “Hum India Wale Hain.” 

                  The assembly came to an end with the encouraging words of Mrs. Peter. She applauded the  effort put in by the students and spoke about the significance of being true to one’s country. 

                   She even stressed on the need to make this Earth a better place to live by cleaning body,  mind, soul and our environment each day. She motivated the students to make cleanliness a habit rather than just reducing it to a mere task.

              School Counsellor’s Forum on the ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­–‘Suicide Prevention in School Children’

              School Counsellor’s Forum on the ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­–‘Suicide Prevention in School Children’


              Research has shown that about half of all lifetime incidence of mental illness manifests by the age of 14. Suicide has been found to be the third leading cause of death amongst adolescents. Thus, early identification and timely intervention hold the key to mental health care. The best way to ensure the psychosocial well-being of children is through an active collaboration between schools and mental health practitioners. Suicide is becoming epidemic with the growing urbanization and this is plaguing the youth as well with even higher percentages of suicidal attempts thus becoming an important public health concern. It is important to understand what prompts such tendencies in young children and how it can be prevented. Children tend to face various adversities in their adolescent years and the capability to deal and withstand the stress, form their attitude and approach to deal with stress in future. Hence, as a crucial part of their environment, schools also need to be equipped with preventing and providing for adequate and timely intervention.

              The Counsellor Forum Meet that took place on 1st October 2014 was attended by the school counsellor at Fortis Hospital, Noida. The Meet focused on understanding suicidal behaviours and prevention, intervention and postvention of suicide using the psychosocial and cultural approach. The members of the Forum met with the agenda of discussing cases and enhancing skills. The interactive discussion entailed an elucidation of principles of working with children and adolescents who are recognized as suicide risks, followed by a discussion around specific cases brought forward by the audience. The Forum also discussed how to build a better understanding of the difficulties experienced by school children, the clinical aspects associated with them, and how best we can identify children with these symptoms, devise a treatment plan and facilitate students, teachers and parents work through the difficult times. The meet was followed by a discussion on the recent research paper which updated us on recent techniques and newer skills as part of a continuous learning process.
