PRINCIPAL'S DESK

 Change is the
 constant
 companion, we
 need to keep
 up with…
The unprecedented times have called us all to adapt rather too
quickly, it called for all of us to come together in a unison to work
along with each other rather than against each other. The human
relationship found itself a different value, to stay connected
against all odds in these deadly times, we took upto a virtual
space that has now become the new normal. But, before we could
reach to this point of acceptance of the new normal, we had our
share of challenges which if we reflect now seem to have been
seamlessly put away with.
At that time, it was a mountain like challenge. I say
challenge, not problem because it is this attitude that has
helped us all at DPS to battle and at the same time cope
with the situation.Our priority, pointless to point yet
important to be stated are our children, they have
always been and will always be of prime importance. Their
new routine is wonderfully supported by the DPS team of
management, faculty and IT department. We at DPS strive
at making the new take to education a success.
These times also call in for praise of our children; having
takento the challenge in their stride and their spirits
undeterred which has been our driving force to harbour the
new skill set to make classes even more engaging.
Extending warmth and gratitude to all parents for all the
support in these testing times. May peace, prosperity and
best of health shine upon us, always.

 From Jakarta to New York, children,
 teenagers are walking out of class and
 marching in the streets to demand action
 on climate change. And the world is

 We hope this inspires you to bring about
 the change, your size doesn't matter.
 Your conviction does. Your message is
 strikingly direct and unvarnished and you
 can choose what you want to say.
GRETA THUNBERG

galvanize a global youth movement- more than 1.6
million youth people came to streets.

BRIANNA FRUEAN
"We as youth may not hold all the power or money in
the world but we have something more valuable in my
opinion and that is passion." This 19 year old advocated
climate change issues in her native Samoa and the
wider Pacific.

JOHN PAUL JOSE

with her motivational talk about our soldiers.
She spoke on ‘Courage’ and shared
intriguing snippets of valiant soldiers by
showing the videos and images. The visuals

the impact was evident. Mrs Rawat brought
alive the riveting stories of Capt Vikram Batra,
Lt Col Anupam Gaur(Army Aviation Corps),
Lt Col Unnikrishnan and Major Deepika

 I am so happy that I got the opportunity of being
 face to face with such a great author....whatever she spoke was so
 motivational....she expressed the feelings of courage and success so
 beautifully....I was stuck to the screen for whole one hour n time just
 flew..waiting to get an opportunity to show some courage soon I
 am really inspired by
 real life stories shared by
 Rachna mam. Thank you so much Rachna Bisht ma’am for such a
 lovely and lively

 session.

 Most of us
 crave for stories that are loaded
 with imagination..however the novel "The Brave" has really
 inculcated
 the feeling of patriotism in us.When this interaction started, I wasn't
 really
 able to believe my eyes..listening to Rachna ma'am really kindled the
 spirit of
 patriotism in me..and I am still in the seventh heaven.Moreover by
 now I have
 learnt that for armed forces it isn't really "JUST ANOTHER DAY AT
 WORK".

 Interacting with Rachna ma'am was a
 once in a lifetime opportunity. Listening to her made me realise all
those problems our soldiers had to face, while trying to save our lives.
Non-fictionwas never really my genre, but reading 'The Brave' quickly
 changed my opinion.
Many thanks to Rachna ma'am for making us aware that there are real
 heroes.

 FEEDBACK
 Jaanya Sewak, 8 B
 It was such a great honour to comeacross such an Accomplished
 Author! How aptly you have quoted Ma’am ,
 “The Brave takes you into the hearts and minds of India’s bravest
 soldiers, all of whom have won the Param Vir Chakra , India’s greatest
 military honour!” This book was my first introduction
 into the lives of these courageous men who are just ordinary people
 like us andwhich has left an Indelible Mark On My Mind! When I
 started reading it , I was speechless! And today Meeting You Virtually
 , Talking about Different Stories Of Bravery and talking about
 Courage has taken me into another level
 of respect for all such men who did their duty for their nation! Lastly
 Thanking My School , DPS for giving us the opportunity. I’m looking Prachi Goyal
 forward to such interactive sessions in times to follow! - VIII - C
 It was really an awesome experience
 of interaction with Ms.Rachna Ma’am. She talked about our brave
 soldiers which
 made me feel more proud of my country. I feel that I’m one of the
 most luckiest
 person who could attend this workshop and interact with such an
 amazing
 personality. Today I learned a lot from Ms.Rachna Ma’am and I’m
 thankful to her
 that she took out her precious time for us. I would request that these
 type of
 sessions be conducted again with us.
 Thank you so much
 Regards

 Ikshit Goyal, 8C
 This session made me spellbound. I
enjoyed listening to what the author had in store for us. The stories of
 the
 army personnel made me feel proud of my country. I look forward to
 more sessions
like this in the future which will help us gain more knowledge of other
 things.

 Uncertain
 times, Certain
 Valour.

These times have called in for unexpected moves; the
uncertainty has brought about so many different
perspectives in view which we would have casually ignored
if times were like they have always been. These
uncertain times have brought the need to stay connected
even more. It has broadened our way of thinking and has
brought our adaptability skills to test. Situations where we
have to keep a check on anyone who has been lately distant
or sick, it has all got us close, distancing is merely physical. It
cannot deter our mind proximity.
We cross each other’s minds through thoughts, ideas and
actions. At DPS we certainly believe in team work,
underlining that our team works in harmony like a family.
The intention is to help you as parents and students to find
value in school family system. The part where we support
each other which in certainty will help us to make through
this difficult times.
There is a call for undarning spirit and acquainting
ourselves in pursuit to new skills. Underlining the fact,
time is uncertain and time today is in abundance, that we
might put that into good use. Taking up good habits-reading
or learning gardening, tasks that seem simple but they
make a big impact when we complete the picture. In hopes
that a newer life awaits us and that we brace it with a new
fervour.
May peace be with you all.
