Third Annual Report of The Elegant Public School by its Founder Principal Sri.P S Narayanan Namboodiripad

ശുഭ സായാഹ്നം......
ലോകമേ തറവാടു തനിക്കീ ചെടികളും
പുല്‍കളും പുഴുക്കളും കൂടിതന്‍ കുടുംബക്കാര്‍.
ത്യാഗമെന്നതെ നേട്ടം താഴ്മ താനഭ്യുന്നതി
യോഗവിത്തേവം ജയിക്കുന്നിതെന്‍ ഗുരുനാഥന്‍
താരകാ മണിമാല ചാര്ത്തിയാലതും കൊള്ളാം
കാരണി ചളി നീളെ പുരണ്ടാലതും കൊള്ളാം
ഇല്ലിഹ സംഗം ലേപമെന്നിവ സമസ്വച്ചച്ച മല്ലയോ
വിഹായസ്സ വന്നമെന് ഗുരുനാഥന്‍
എല്ലാ ഗുരുനാഥന്‍ മാര്‍ക്കുമുന്പിലും ഞാനിതു സമര്‍പ്പിക്കുന്നു -
Third Annual Report of our school on this auspicious occasion on Sparsham - 3 : Sparsham of Mother Nature.
At this end of the year it is good to take a moment to look back and to celebrate it all… the successes, the challenges, the learning, the relationships, the questions, the quality conversations, the robust discussions, the decisions, the opportunities for growth and so much more. Teaching and parenting is of course, a privileged, sacred trust and it is very clear that the closer we can work together, the more fruitful the opportunities for each and every child continue to be in our school.
आचार्यात् पादमादते पादं शिष्यः स्वमेधया । 
पादं सब्रह्मचारिभ्यः पादं कालक्रमेण च ॥ 
Amongst the major achievements....we are glad to say...
1.   The school has been affiliated to Central Board Secondary Education CBSE as Secondary school with its CBSE affiliation code number 931265.

(irunnittu kaalu neettuka)

This year we have planned and executed, in addition to this, a compassion towards nature by DAYA, KRIPA, KARUNA AND ANUKAMPA by feeding birds near the school ground.
Project based learning, is a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges, simultaneously developing cross-curriculum skills while working in small collaborative groups. Research indicates that students are more likely to retain the knowledge gained through this approach far more readily than through traditional textbook-centered learning.

“As our global population grows to a projected nine billion people by 2050, the non-agriculture population has little to no understanding of the complexities involved with sustaining a viable agriculture system” .
Without the basic knowledge of how all aspects of agriculture are linked together and the science and technology that makes up the worlds food system how can we as a society sustain our world food system?
Our humble effort to prepare an agriculturally literate population was the spark to take our children to a paddy filed to enjoy harvesting on 7th October 2016..
Before I end this report, let me share a gist of the third episode  of our annual function Sparsham - 3....Sparsham of Mother Nature....
അമ്മയെന്ന സത്യത്തെക്കാള്‍ തെളിഞ്ഞ സത്യം ഈ ഭൂമുഘത്ത് മറ്റൊന്നില്ല. അമ്മിഞ്ഞപ്പാല്‍ ചുരത്തുന്ന അമ്മ. മറ്റൊരു പരിവേഷത്തില്‍ അമ്മ ജന്മ നാടായി മാറുന്നു. അമ്മയെന്ന സ്നേഹം പ്രക്രുടിയായ് പരിണമിക്കുന്നു. മഹാകവി വള്ളത്തോള്‍ പാടിയ പോലെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ മാതാവിനെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ മാതാവിനെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ വരേണ്യയെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ വരദയെ
ഇനിയൊരു മഹായുദ്ധമുണ്ടെങ്കില്‍ തീര്‍ച്ചയായും അത് വട്ടിവരണ്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ജലസ്രോതസ്സിന്നു വേണ്ടിയായിരിക്കും, ജലത്തിന് വേണ്ടിയായിരിക്കും.
അത്തരമൊരു ലോകമഹായുദ്ധം ഉണ്ടാവതരിക്കാന്‍ നമ്മുടെ കുഞ്ഞുമനസ്സുകള്‍ പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥിക്കുന്നു. അതിന്റെ കാരണം ആരായുന്നു.
അവര്‍ സംഘം ചേര്‍ന്ന് പാടുന്നു...
പുഴകളെ..
നദികളെ...
ഞങ്ങളുണ്ട് നിന്റെ തോഴര്‍....
അവരുടെ കണ്ധത്തില്‍ നിന്നുയരുന്ന ഈ വിപ്ലവഗാനം തീര്‍ച്ചയായും സമൂഹമനസസാക്ഷി ക്കൊരു തിരിച്ചറിവ് പകര്‍ന്നു നല്‍കും.
നമുക്കും പാടാം
ഉയരണം പുതിയൊരു സംകാരമിവിടെ ഈ
വസുധയെ നാളെക്കായ്‌ കരുതിവെക്കാന്‍  
ഉയരണം പുതിയൊരു സംകാരമിവിടെ ഈ

വസുധയെ നാളെക്കായ്‌ കരുതിവെക്കാന്‍
