Council Elections
I am not yet an adult, and hence not a voter, according to the law of
the land. But my school gave me a chance to witness this important
process and become a part of it. Council elections were to be held
for the year 2018-19. We as students of class XI and class XII were
given an opportunity to contest elections. The process altogether
was democratic and very new to all the students. It started with
filling up forms that required basic information such as our name,
which class do we study in and the post we wish to contest for. Class
XII students were open for the post of Head Boy and Head Girl while
Class XI students were open for the post of Associate Head Boy,
Associate Head Girl and Students' Council Secretary.
All the students were instructed to make their own Logos and
Posters for the election campaigning. We as candidates for various
posts visited different classes from VII to X to campaign and ask for
votes. This time students were given the full authority to elect their
representative by casting their vote. Convincing the students was
not an easy task. Every class had different opinions, unique
problems which required understanding .Every candidate had to
give a small speech, justifying why he/she should be elected for the
post. Our election pitch and canvassing continued for two days.
On the day of elections which were on 12th June 2018, all the
candidates were instructed to deliver their final speech in the
morning assembly. Voting process was simple, class wise students
visited the voting room, then they were given strips of paper which
had the logos of the candidates for the position. Each student then
had to cast his/her vote by stamping ink on the logo of the
candidate.
A democratic approach towards the Council elections gave
students a platform to express their ideas and thoughts about the
school, and gave us a medium to connect with other students. Also,
it gave us all an exposure to public speaking and a lesson for life!

Eid Celebration
EID-UL-FITR is an important Muslim festival celebrated worldwide. It marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic
holy month of fasting. To celebrate this auspicious day they all come together and feast on traditional dishes
and the very famous and delicious irresistible Sheer-Khurma, they also offer prayers and charity.
To give the students an insight about this beautiful festival of Eid a special assembly on 14th June 2018,
Thursday was conducted and presented by the students of grade 1 and 2 of Delhi Public School. To provide
the students with more information on Eid, the word, the thought and the sentence were all related to it.
The highlight of the day was a graceful dance performance by the students of grade 2. To hear the student of
grade 1 give information on Eid was the highlight of the day.
The motto of this special assembly was to make the students learn the culture and tradition of another
religion, which I can say was succesfully achieved and this is how the seeds of secularism were sown in the
young minds.

THE 'Theory of Everything' is among those rare movies that manage to be a
biography without being a hagiography. It is the story behind the now
familiar image of a partially paralyzed scientific genius with huge lenses in a

O the door, you tempt us all
The commotion in the corridor makes us a curious lot
When you don't let us escape from our boring class
Oh, you force us to plot!
Inspite of our anger you truly give us security
With our friends around
We get safety and surety

Vidhya Aarambh Ceremony and
Parent Orientation Programme
EVERY year Delhi Public School conducts an orientation programme
for the parents and students of the school. So this year, Vidhya
Aarambh Ceremony was successfully housed at Delhi Public School,
Nashik in the month of June.
Vidhya Aarambh is an enriched tradition, which marks the
initiation of mental development and intellectual competence. The
orientation programme intends to give a deeper insight into the
school's pedagogical approaches and acquaints the parents with
the educational resources and opportunities that the school
provides for the Dipsites like Jolly Phonics, Nature Nurture,
Edusports, Edunext and so on.
Rules and regulations of the school were discussed during the
programme. Also the parents were given an opportunity to put
their queries forward and discuss so that a solution could be met
with. They also got a chance to interact with the teachers of their
ward.
A worth mentioning fact of the auspicious occasion was the
presence of the Grandparents who showered their blessings on the
Dipsites before the commencement of their academic journey.
The event concluded with pure bliss glowing on the faces of the
students and parents.
