“ One of the primary objectives of school education is to make a child fearless ”
One of the primary objectives of school education is to make a child fearless – Children are plagued with
various fear such as fear of failure, stage, exams, mathematics, science etc. The school should provide
ample opportunities to children to know their fears and more importantly equip them with adaptive tools to
overcome them. At DCS our constant endeavour is to find impressionable ways through which children can
independently overcome their shortcomings. Be it inside the classroom or outside, every student should walk
out of the institution with the ability to challenge the unknown. To achieve this, we at Doon Convent School
try and provide students exposure to varied real life situations early on. Be it through year round
inter-school competitions both at scholastic/co-scholastic level, aptitude exams both in-house and external,
educational excursions, field visits, community sensitization programmes, cultural exchange programmes, etc.
This enables them to realize their true potential which we believe cannot be judged through a standardized
one time aptitude test.
Through these efforts, we aim to ensure that the students are not merely just data banks but learners who
have mastered the art of self belief and realization. After all, many schools can boast about how many of
their students made it to top notch engineering/medical/law/IAS etc institutions. We want our students to
become entrepreneurs who have overcome their fears and are ready to take the risks and feed more people than
just themselves. Our nation needs more fearless leaders.
As we all know, education is not just about imparting knowledge, but also about developing good citizens who
can make a positive contribution to society. Our goal is to ensure that our students are not only
well-educated but also become good citizens who can make a positive impact in the world.
At our school, we follow the principles of the National Education Policy 2020, which emphasizes empowering
students and developing their creativity, ambition, and moral values. Our aim is to provide our students
with a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in all aspects of life.
We are proud of our students and are confident that they will make a significant contribution to our
country's future. We have established an Atal Tinkering Lab in our school, which provides our students with
a platform to develop their innovative skills.We strive to provide equal opportunities for education to all
students, regardless of their background or socio-economic status.We also promote the mental and spiritual
well-being of our students through meditation, yoga, and sports. Our entire teaching staff and school
administration work with dedication and commitment, recognizing education as a service rather than a
business.
I am confident that with the support and cooperation of all stakeholders, we will continue to produce
capable and sensitive citizens who will make a positive impact in society.
Thank you.
