ACTIVITIES

All Round Growth

      The strong link between our scholastic and co-scholastic activities help children to build their confidence, self- esteem and to develop time management and organizational skills.

Holistic Development of the child is the focus of schooling at JPS—and there is a calendar full of Inter House Co-Curricular activities to support this. With the belief that effective communication and public speaking skills are the need of the hour, the students are encouraged to participate in a host of activities. Students are constantly honing their skills and engaging themselves in healthy competitive spirit. Co-curricular activities are no longer an option but a part of the curriculum. We offer a wide range of physical activities which include indoor and outdoor sports and it is mandatory for the students to participate in them. The Math Olympiad sharpens the mathematical skills of knowledge backed with speed and accuracy. Showcasing the aesthetic talent of the children, the thematic Inter house competition is a yearly event that is much looked forward to. These events not only focus on language or subject competency but also on the development of integrity, teamwork and strength of character, the ultimate aim of school education.

Students are sent for social service and are also associated with organizations that work for uplifting the society.

JPS ———strive to make their mark wherever they go. They are recognized by their cheerful demeanor, irrepressible spirit, passionate drive and sterling personalities. They are what their education has made them. Hence, children are offered a whole gamut of skills to choose from.

Along with academics and sports, co-curricular activities support the learning of life skills among learners. We believe that our institution must provide a balanced experience of academics and non-academic activities. Over the years, our learners have exhibited exceptionally well in various creative and artistic pursuits. Their notable accomplishments have been a great source of inspiration for the school.  

Various Co-curricular Activities

We recognize that not all students can be good at or interested in one particular activity. There are a number of activities that students can choose from depending on their interest and skills.

1. Our Elocution Team makes leaders and orators of tomorrow. Students develop public speaking skills, learn about topics beyond the classroom and also rid themselves of stage fright. We also conduct an annual inter-school elocution contest.
2. We have a school band that comprises of 20 students playing a variety of musical instruments. They perform at inter and intra-school functions and also the Sports’ Day.
3. Regular excursions, field trips and educational tours are arranged for our students. These trips help them relate, what they have studied in the classroom, to the real world.
4. Scouting is another interesting program for the children. The groups go for camping and hiking trips at least once a year and learn survival techniques like cooking, tent building, burning and putting out campfires and other craft useful while camping. These trips are meticulously supervised and are conducted by trained army personnel.
5. We offer a range of games and sports in our school. These games include volleyball, badminton, cricket, football, table-tennis, chess and athletics. We also organize summer camps during summer vacations
6. Art is encouraged in our school. Drawing, painting, sketching, pottery, handicrafts allow students to express their talents and feelings.
7. The school Newsletter/ magazine is a treasure of insights and candid pictures showing lives of our children and staff in school. The students play a major role in collecting, collating and editing the articles. We have contributions from our little ones in the pre-primary and primary classes. The designing and printing of this ‘jewel’ is also managed by the students. The staff members are on the committee for support and advice only.
8. Creativity workshops showcase the imaginative talents of our students – writing, poetry, jewelry making and handicrafts are some of the many.

Sports Activities

Our Sports Activity includes a breath of fresh air, a little exercise, learning about sportsmanship and being part of a team.

Apart from academics, we also encourage, promote and engage our learner in sports and games. At our institution, sports are a way of life. We believe it is an integral part of children’s holistic development and helps them acquire an agile mind with sharp cognitive abilities. Each sport has the intrinsic potential to foster positive energy and team-spirit. Other than physical well-being, it also helps in nurturing the right values at an early age and develops an individual’s strength of character.
In addition to the two periods a week which are compulsory for physical education, four periods a week (from VI grade upwards) are allotted for club activities. The sports activities available at the school include tennis, football, basketball, volleyball. 
Professional swimming and athletic coaches are also available to train the students to ensure that they become ace performers. Through our emphasis on providing specialized training to develop their psychomotor-skills in various sports and games, year after year, our students have been achieving significant successes at the district, state level sports competitions. Our students have been winning many laurels in inter-school competitions in swimming, tennis, football, and Volley ball

At JPS—–we organize sporting events to ensure that students from almost all age groups can get a much loved break from classroom study and exercise at the same time. Expert trainers are at hand to teach relevant skills as well as impart life skills like good sportsmanship. The enthusiastic players choose from an array of sports and physical activities Some of the games our students can play include Indoor Games, Outdoor Games like Throw ball, Volleyball, Football, Cricket, table tennis, Chess, Caroms, Tae-kwon-do, Karate, Badminton and Track events .Their steadily zealous involvement shows positive results in their fit body, emotionally balanced mind, belief in persistence, patience and practice and enhanced values of cooperation and teamwork. Through Inter-House matches and umpteen inter-school matches, Annual Sports Day, and everyday sports periods, our budding sportspersons shine, adding to their happiness quotient.

Visual and Performing Arts

Art is the language of the soul. It is that amazing medium through which the innate creativity manifests in a fun filled way. Students from the elementary to the higher secondary, revel in dipping their fingers in colours, making alluring patterns and assembling sundry materials in innovative ways. They are adept at strumming the guitar, swaying to the beats of the band, drenching in the thrills of serenading chorus, dancing to lilting music, mono acting, miming, staging plays and much more. Our artists never cease to sweep their audience off their feet. Art & Dance periods, morning Assemblies, Inter-House Contests, Art Exhibitions, Music programmes and Various Inter- school events are some of the platforms used by them. We believe and understand that schools are the productive grounds which yield a crop of socially, morally and environmentally conscious citizens.

To meet this goal, our students periodically conduct many programs and projects on social welfare and environment consciousness, hold talks on subjects of topical importance- solely conceived and presented by them, visit orphanages and also initiate donation drives. Apart from this we have counselling sessions, workshops by experts, trips to institutions/places of importance – the list is inexhaustible- to bring up a generation that is ready to create a beautiful world they have envisioned.

We urge parents to encourage their children to take part in at least one activity. Each child is capable of creating greatness and our thorough and detailed co-curricular program ensures that no child is left behind.
