St. Claret School Creative News LetterDiscipline Discipline is the only virtue that distinguishes a human being from the other mammals. This discipline has allowed society to evolve from what we were to what we now are. Many a time we tend to forget the importance of discipline and etiquette and in turn lose our morality. A disciplined child determines the disciplined future of our country. Lets all challenge our limitations, push against false convictions and reach towards a glorious future. - By Mrs. Glacy Robert, Captain Red Racers

Be it jewel or a toy, not the prize gives joy but striving to win the prizes, gives the immense happiness. So we are always prepared to strive hard for that is what makes life so wonderful.“High thinking, Selfless service and Achieving Success is the SURFERS GOAL”. - By Mrs. Shwetha Shankar, Captain Blue Surfer

Hindustan Unilever Limited in co-ordination with an NGO by name SHARP (School Health Annual Report Programme) had organized Free Dental Health and Hygiene Camp in our School premises on 3rd October 2012. The main purpose of this camp was to educate children about Health and Hygiene which is very essential in today’s daily life especially in school children. They also presented a small Power Point Presentation on cleanliness. Chil-dren in the morning will be in a hurry to get ready for school and they don’t give much importance to their hygiene which may lead to various infections. Mrs. Sudha Shankar, CSR Head- South of Unilever, shared with us that this camp will help children to understand the importance to be healthy. HLL have covered 14 schools across South India in organizing similar program emphasizing mainly on Oral care, Hand Washing and hygiene.It was a day long camp and students from 6th Grade to 9th Grade attended this program. - by Mrs. Rupa.

Feb 7th 2013 was a memorable day for our school as we were part of Times NIE. The student edition of Times of India was ex-clusively edited by our principal Rev. Fr. Joshi KX cmf and the edito-rial team comprising of three teachers and 10 students. The entire

school contributed articles enthusiastically and the best ones were selected for publication. A lot of hard work was put into this. The evening before the edition was out we arrived at the Times of India of-fice at 4 p.m. We were extremely happy to be with the faculty of TOI. Mrs. Santrupti, Senior Assistant Editor of NIE and her team welcomed us. We were told about various stages of reporting, writing, editing, and verifying. We spent around 4 to 5 hours in the Times office reading, editing and correcting our articles.The students enjoyed every bit of editing and learnt and understood the entire process of publication of a day’s paper. It was great being in the shoes of a journalist. We awaited with eager hearts to see our paper on the next day. And behold it was, the fruit of our hard work of over a month lying at our door step. It was filled with articles written and edited by us. From the front page to the back it was all full of Claretine journalism. Bringing out the student’s edition of Times of India was a dream come true and definitely it was invigorating and exciting. - by Mrs. Shashi, Mrs. Rupa
