DIPSCOOP an e-magazine 1

It is pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to extract oil from the ground, ship it to a refinery, turn it into plastic, shape it appropriately, truck it to a store, buy it and bring it home is considered to be less effort than what it takes to just wash the spoon when you are done with it. This year, with Chennai enforcing its Zero Water Day and Gujarat facing the wrath of a bizarre cyclone, it has been a shocking wake-up call for us to pay attention to our carbon footprints. There is no such thing as ‘away’; when we throw something away it must go somewhere. With this message let us understand that zero waste is not about recycling more, it is about the need to recycle less.

Assemblies and Special Events

Assembly on Gratitude

The more grateful you are for things you have today, the more things you will have to be grateful for tomorrow.

With this thought in mind, the students of Delhi Public School, Hyderabad, organised a special assembly on Friday, 14th June, 2019 themed ‘Gratitude’, which was attended by the Principal, Mrs. Geetha Vishwanathan, Headmistresses, Coordinators, Ex-Dipsites from the batch 2018-19, teachers and students of grades XI and XII.

The assembly began with a prayer song, as a way for the students to express gratitude towards the almighty, following which a speech was rendered by the Head Boy, Tanish Goel, to shed light on the importance of being grateful for everything that one has in life, whether it be considered positive or negative. Following the speech, students from batch 2018-19 proceeded to take over the podium and expressed their love and gratitude towards Delhi Public School, Hyderabad, Principal and the faculty members for having given them a platform to discover their true worth and potential. Then, as a token of appreciation, they gifted the school a Glass Podium to extend their sincere respect towards the institution. After they signed off and took their position amongst the student-teacher audience, Principal Mrs. Geetha Vishwanathan inaugurated the Glass Podium and proceeded to address the gathering with a simple thought - that the act of gratitude is what makes you successful. The assembly concluded with a Vote of Thanks rendered by the Head Girl, Shavika Kapoor and the audience proceeded to return back to their respective classes.

Not only did the students witness how small ways of expressing one's gratitude towards the people who help and support them makes one happy, but also how this simple action has the power to inspire a lot more to keep walking down the path of life, while staying humble and grateful to everyone and everything they come across.


Telangana Formation Day Assembly

The Telangana Formation Day was commemorated with an excellent programme put up by the students of VI E on the 17th of June 2019 through a special assembly. The occasion was graced by the Principal and the Headmistresses. The celebration commenced with a melodious choir invoking the blessings of the almighty. The students then put up a very colourful show where many facts about Telangana were enumerated in a very lucid manner. The students were told about the people who actively contributed to the betterment of Telangana from the pre-independence era to the present day. An interesting section pertaining to the well-known and some obscure tourist destinations in Telangana was presented in the form of a skit. The reason for the region being named Telangana was also explained. The well sequenced programme ended with a quiz on Telangana in which the audience actively participated. On the occasion of Telangana Formation Day the school has taken an initiative to help in the aforestation drive in a unique way. Some students from middle school were taken to the nearby Malkam Cheruvu where they scattered beej balls. These beej balls are a mix of clay, compost and seeds from plants native to Indian climate. Scattering beej balls is an easy way to help a struggling ecosystem. If the native seeds are scattered normally then they are often eaten up by animals or washed away by the rain – but the seeds in the beej balls are protected inside a ball. When it rains, the clay in the ball holds the water and helps the seeds to germinate. When the seeds germinate, the compost will help the seedlings grow. The programme on the occasion of Telangana formation day ended with our Principal Ms. Geetha Vishwanath congratulating the performers on the excellent show put up by them.


International Day of Yoga On 21st June, DPS, Hyderabad celebrated the 5th International Yoga Day along with the whole world. The theme of 5th International Yoga Day 2019 was "Climate Action". Climate Action theme focuses on the way how yoga can help us to solve the problem of climate change and also it brings lot more benefits into the lives of people. It is necessary to work towards climate change. The sense of respect for mother earth overcomes regular yoga practitioners that will help people to act in a certain way at home and working environment to work and build better future. Participating in unanimity with the entire world, Delhi Public School, Hyderabad, began the day with a yogic fervour, celebrating the International Yoga Day. Amidst beautiful weather, clouds and soft breeze the students from grade I to grade XII exhibited immense enthusiasm in the practice of yoga. Among other asanas the instructors helped the students perform the Tadasana, Trikonasana, Vrksasana, Surya Namaskar and pranayama. To invoke an added interest among the students, teachers too became ones among the students to participate in the yoga session. The session concluded with the speeches by the Headmistresses and coordinators, who motivated the students to integrate yoga into their daily routine. The twenty minutes session in recognition of the Yoga Day was much rejuvenating and freshening as expressed by the teachers and the students. According to few of the participants, the idea of having a short yoga session every morning should be given a thought.


Inter- House Competitions

Grade I

“All the magic lies in the harmony of many interdependent folds.” -Robert Salazar

The wonderful art of Origami was unleashed through a very interesting Inter-house competition conducted for Grade I students on 18th June 2019, which had an exciting participation from all the students. Origami is the art of folding paper which transforms a flat square sheet of paper into a finished structure through folding. The theme for the contest was based on ‘Environment’, a theme which is loved by every age group. The tiny tots were at their creative best while they used their little fingers to create various wonderful things like – fishes, pine trees, huts, boats and what not. Children took the contest to an entire next level by combining these origami structures to depict beautiful scenes from our environment like – fishes swimming under water, forest scene with huts in between, boats rowing in a river – which are just to name a few.

It was an absolutely engaging experience for the children while they patiently worked through the colourful origami papers producing beautiful outcomes. It was a treat to watch the little wonders all involved with this very interesting art form.

“I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.” - Vincent Van Gogh

Having experienced the early showers of monsoon, nature started filling itself with colours. With this frame of mind, soon after the summer holidays, students of grade III participated in a painting competition. Students were allowed to draw and colour a scenery depicting nature.

First, students recalled the places they visited during their summer vacation and started to transform their mental picture onto the paper. Slowly, but steadily they filled in colours trying to portray all the details captured in their mind. They used different mediums of colours to bring out their best. Many of them used the technique of mixing colours to enhance the natural affect.

Some of the budding artists composed scenes of sunrise over the mountains, sunset behind a lake, the shadow of a bird perched on a barren tree under the moonlight, a family of ducks happily swimming in a pond and so on. It was a pleasure to see tiny hands colouring the picture with a rhythm and checking with their partners if their picture was good.


All the pictures resonate only one thing – Nature wears the colours of the spirit.

-Vinod Narayan

India, world’s fastest growing economy stares at some very challenging environmental issues like – Air pollution, Water pollution, Garbage management, Unchecked use of plastic, Loss of Biodiversity and ground water depletion. Responsibility of handling these challenges not only lies with the government but needs an active participation from each and every one of us.

One such step is to conduct interesting competitions to build students’ interest. An inter-house competition – “Slogan Writing” based on theme – ‘Environment’ was conducted for students of Grade V on June 22nd, 2019. Students were asked to write a slogan in any one language of their choice – Hindi, Telugu or English.

Orientation Nursery Orientation One of the most important challenges faced by school is to enlighten the new set of parents of Nursery who joined the school for the first time with high aspirations and expectations. Delhi Public School Hyderabad organized Orientation for the parents of Nursery on 15 June 2019. The session was organized in two slots. It started with a welcoming note by the Pre-Primary Coordinator, Ms Laxmi Samal. A power point presentation enlightened parents about the Objectives, philosophy, vision, curriculum, co-scholastic activities of the school. The presentation elucidated the activities that are undertaken for the holistic development of the students. The coordinator emphasized the role of parents in shaping their children especially in the crucial years of growth. She motivated all the parents to spend quality time with their children and give constant support and encouragement to the kids. There was a brief interaction with the parents where she eloquently answered their queries with patience. It gave the parents a good opportunity to pose all their queries related to their child's better upbringing. The session was supported by a PPT presentation, self-explanatory handouts were also shared with the parents. Most of the parents were in attendance for the orientation. It was an enriching session for the parents. Prep. Orientation An orientation program was organized for the new parents of Prep on 9th March 2019.It was organized by Pre-Primary Coordinator Mrs Laxmi Samal.

She laid stress on effective communication between the teachers and the parents and also sought their support and suggestions so the best could be done for the development of the students. She also shared some parenting tips with them. She answered their queries patiently. She concluded the orientation by emphasizing the fact that parent-teacher partnership is the key to success. It was a fruitful and enriching experience for the parents. Grade I “A parent is a teacher at home and a teacher is a parent in school and the child is the centre of our universe.”

Studies show, that when families are involved in the education of their children in positive ways, children maximize on their untapped potentials and are more regular to school and demonstrate positive attitude and behaviour. The foundation for good parent teacher relationship is, frequent and open communication, mutual respect and a clear understanding of what is best for each individual child.

Grade X “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence” -Abigail Adams Studies show, that when parents are involved in the education of their children in positive ways, the children maximize on their untapped potentials and are more regular to school and demonstrate positive attitude and behaviour.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically, Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education.” - Martin Luther

Most of us would agree unanimously on the fact that the sole purpose of education is to make us better human beings from an intellectual level. It should teach us skills that help us think better, have clarity of our visions and goals, come up with precise action plans and application strategies.

To inculcate this habit in children, ‘ILLUMIND’ an in-house OLYMPIAD Contest was organised for children, by Delhi Public School, Hyderabad from classes 1to 4 in the year 2018-19.

Annual Inter DPS Heritage festival and Art exhibition

J Hemanth of Grade X secured 2nd Position in Annual Inter DPS Heritage Festival and art Exhibition (senior Category) held at DPS Noida on 23rd December, 2019

Theme of the Month “It’s hard to workout but will never give up staying healthy and strong as the days are long and the years are short”. Encouraging children to adopt healthy habits early in their lives is an integral part of learning experience and also an excellent way to incorporate the best practices concerning health, to bring an element of harmony in their lives. Children are very inquisitive and instinctive by nature. They learn through hands on experience in any activity. In this connection, our spirited little Dipsites were introduced to various intriguing activities as part of the novel theme of the month “Health Fest” that lasted for a week. The central objective of the theme was to steer the young minds towards adopting a lifestyle with healthy habits while exposing them to various awareness activities filled with fun. During this week-long celebration, children revisited their lessons on health and hygiene as they learn the importance of healthy habits, establishing and following routines, healthy eating and physical well-being. Each day of the week was dedicated to varied healthy habits while giving them a true learning experience. Creative games on healthy eating, rhythmic aerobics, pep talk on healthy manners and group activity on healthy habits were planned as part of the week long celebrations. To understand healthy eating habits, kids were taken through some fascinating creative games like sorting of fruits and vegetables, hurdle race, body balancing and many more throughout the week. In the process of doing these activities, kids not just develop math skills, literacy skills but also get exposed to myriad of colours and textures pertaining to food. Children love indulging in physical activities -adopting this strategy with emphasis on fitness, rhythmic aerobics was conceived for our ever zestful Dipsites. The children were engaged in making vibrant, majestic head bands with a message “BE FIT TO BE HIT” as part their activity which was a major take away for the week and also to reiterate the learning of the health week, the kids were encouraged to share the healthy habits they learnt during the week. The week long proceedings came to a crescendo by showing them stories on healthy habits using audio visual aids. Overall, it was an inexplicable joy watching the little ones enjoying the thematic activities.
