Their dedication and hard work are commendable, and we are proud to support them in this next challenge. Congratulations to our experienced guns as they represent our organization!

 Tournaments 

The Under 17 and Under 19 Boys' Volleyball Teams put in their best effort in the thrilling tournament. U17 made it to the pre-quarterfinals and U19 to the quarterfinals and both teams displayed incredible efforts, sportsmanship, and teamwork throughout the competition. Even though they didn't win, both team's experiences will undoubtedly serve as a valuable lesson in teamwork, motivating them to continue improving for success in future competitions.

The School's Under17 Girls' Volleyball Tournament displayed teamwork and unity as the team faced tough competition. Despite losing the match, the girls gave their best efforts, showcasing sportsmanship, determination, and passion throughout the match.

 Pre-Primary Section 

In the last week of September, we hosted PTM for Class 1. This was attended by 80% of the parents. This is more than the average of our previously conducted PTM. Such a hike shows that Parent-Teacher communication is getting stronger and more fluent. The rest of the school was conducted as usual. The "Play with the Shape" Activity was organized for students of Class LKG. Students participated actively. It was fun, interactive, and full of new concepts.

 Creativity and Innovation 

The session on Creativity and Innovation, conducted by Kris Stanec, was an enriching experience that focused on encouraging creative thinking in the classroom. A key takeaway was the importance of giving students the freedom to think and express their ideas in any form. Activities like the "Possibility Book" allowed participants to explore their creativity through drawing and open discussions, demonstrating how such tasks can help students think outside the box and share their unique perspectives. The exercise of playing with colors during the activity brought back memories of childhood when we were free to play, draw, and express ourselves without limitations.

Overall, the session emphasized the value of embracing everything with positivity, and appreciating whatever ideas or expressions come from students, whether they are new, unconventional, or unexpected. By creating a supportive environment where creativity is nurtured, educators can help students develop confidence and innovative thinking, transforming the classroom into a more dynamic and inclusive space for learning.

 Health and Wellness 

“Health is Wealth,” is a simple but powerful quote. Today’s fast life and shorter attention spans have led to our bodies being deprived of this wealth. Materialistic wealth often leads to blindness. The blindness of the mind is much more pernicious. It is time that we awaken ourselves and self-evaluate this situation. A healthy lifestyle leads to a productive one.

 Dogs 

 

The Dog is the best friend of Man. It is loyal and kind. We all have a profound fondness for the canines. Stories of the friendship of man and dog have been taught to us since childhood. The animal always seems to amaze me. It provides us with joy and love. Asks only for care. Many of us have a dog at home we love and care for. It really is God’s gift for us.

REPORTERS/RP - Mohita Solanki and Vijita Solanki

RP: How would you describe the school's culture and how has it evolved? 

PRT: As I have observed, there's a huge development in creativity as compared to other schools. Nature and its beauty have increased, we're having new achievements in sports and also development in the school infrastructure. 

RP: What message would you like to convey to current or future students?

PRT: Students should study well and treat their school like it's their own home, nevertheless they should not have any kind of fear or hesitation if they want to learn something new. You should start building up self-confidence and self-reliance, choosing a path is difficult, have patience and choose the right path wisely but mainly focus on your personality, and let people know how good you are. You will definitely light up your future if you are aware of the things or start implementing them in your life.

 Interview with Vanshika Singh Rajawat 

Reporters- Tamanna Solanki & Aaradhya Champawat

RP: What did the experience look like for a first-timer like you??

VSR: Firstly I would like to express my special thanks to my school as it allowed me to participate in tournaments. I felt really excited as a first-timer... Although we didn't have as many facilities there as we have at home. It was really nice as my bond with my classmates became stronger. 

RP: Any important lesson learned during the tournaments?? 

VSR: The most important lesson I learned during tournaments is that 'you should be grateful for what you have' as you cannot get every type of facility everywhere as we got there. There were no such facilities that we have at home. And secondly 'strength lies in unity' because though we lost the match there was no one to console us except our team. My team was my only strength then.

RP: Anything in particular that you found unusual when you participated? 

VSR: No there's no such thing that I found unusual there except the behaviour of the natives of that area.

 Cluster Football Tournament Report 

Date: 20th September 2024

Venue: DPS Jodhpur

The U 19 Football Team played a cluster match on 20th September 2024, with the team of DAV Senior Secondary School, Salumbar. The venue was DPS Jodhpur, and it was an electric atmosphere with all expectations and excitement.

The real show began with a bright blue sky in the background, but the real action was provided by the gamers themselves, who showed that they were serious and meant business right in the first minutes of play. The atmosphere in the stadium during the match was more than energetic. Supporters were screaming to the roof, and the aroma of popcorn was wafting through the air. Both the teams displayed agility in controlling the ball and powerful shots; thus, the game was thrilling. The blowing whistle signaled sharp action every now and then, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats.

We were the underdogs and played with teamwork and tenacity for a more experienced opponent. Their persistence brought both the crowd and their competitors' respect. The matches went on one after another throughout the day and, obviously, every match was so suspenseful and tension-creating as different teams fought to win not just victory but also pride.

Outside the field, players and friends discussed how to achieve victory, shared snacks, and had some fun moments while enjoying their colleagues. In actuality, it was not only a tournament but also a day of friendship as well as sportsmanship. The team enjoyed the tournament to the fullest and valued the experience to emerge out of the event.

 Pre-Primary Section Report 

The Pre-Primary Wing of The Fabindia School designated the 3rd week of September to Animals! Teachers articulated learning in a playful and interactive yet informative manner. They conducted Animal Role-play and organised many other games helping students to recognise various animals. Activities for animals' sound recognition were also carried out. Apart from this, the sit-down stand-up game was articulated so that students even learned about terrestrial animals and air animals i.e. Birds. The curriculum of the week strengthened students' understanding 

 Global Warming 

Global Warming is an issue that needs to be talked about. The current leaders vanish before seeing its major effects but it’s upon our generation to face the perils left to us by our ancestors. Humans should stop putting aside problems such as climate change and global warming. These problems will eventually catch onto us. Heat strokes during the summer are becoming common and temperatures are so harsh that I couldn’t even go out to play during my vacations. In a society where children cannot play outside will start to resemble a desolate utopia from George Orwell’s books. This is the point where society should start to introspect and self-evaluate before it’s too late.

Parikshit Rajawat / III

 Discipline 

Everyone’s life revolves around discipline. From childhood to adulthood it plays a crucial role in every phase of human life. Some of the places where discipline is important are the school, colleges, and universities. It is essential to boost confidence and focus to achieve goals.

Discipline allows a person to concentrate on their studies, obtain the marks required, and prepare well for the future. All these things are essential for the success of people. Moreover, it helps a person to become physically and mentally fit.

A disciplined person is someone who has full control of their actions, and thoughts. Moreover, a disciplined person can easily gather the respect of others. This is because discipline is the first step toward the success of an individual. Thus, such a person can easily live a happy and fulfilled life.

 Building a Reading Culture in School 

As an Academic Dean, I believe that building a strong reading culture is the best investment we make for our students to grow intellectually and personally. Reading is the basic requirement of all learning. It just helps one to enlarge the vocabulary, improve comprehension, and stir the critical thinking part of our mind. More than academics, it develops creativity, empathy, and a deep understanding of what is happening in our world. In today's fast-changing, technology-driven world, students need to develop a habit of reading, not just for academics, but for their curiosity and growth. I encourage all students to read each day, be it fiction or non-fiction or any material which gives interest. The more I read, the more I grow-not just as a student but as a thoughtful and informed person ready to enrich society. Let us together build a culture where reading becomes valued, enjoyed, and celebrated in our school community.

 जिम्मेदारी और सहयोग 

वर्तमान परिवेश में इन मूल्यों का होना अत्यावश्यक हो गया हैं। जिस प्रकार मानव स्वयं को सर्वश्रेष्ठ समझने की भूल कर रहा था, आज उसके विचार गर्त में डूब गए। हमने अपनी जिम्मेदारी ठीक से निभाई होती तो ये बीती महामारी का संकट सामने नहीं आता। प्राचीन भारतीय मान्यताओं को पिछड़ापन कहकर नकारने वाले आज उसी के यशोगान में समय बिता रहे हैं।  

एक मनुष्य को कई तरह की जिम्मेदारियाँ निभानी पड़ती हैं। परिवार के प्रति, समाज के प्रति, अपने रोजगार के प्रति और भी कोई हो सकती है। पाप और पुण्य की अवधारणा मनुष्य को जिम्मेदारी वहन के लिए प्रोत्साहित करते थे। आज इन अवधारणाओं से परे हो जाने पर मानव अपनी जिम्मेदारियाँ भी भूल गया। 

बीती महामारी के अवसर ने एक बार पुनः जिम्मेदारी निभाने का अवसर दिया। समाचार-पत्रों आदि में यह अकसर पढ़ने में आ रहा था कि कई व्यक्ति, संस्थाएँ और जानी-मानी हस्तियाँ परोपकार में अपना तन और धन समर्पित कर रही है। जिससे जैसा सहयोग हो सकता है, कर रहा था।  

जिम्मेदारी और सहयोग इन दोनों मूल्यों से हम अग्रगामी हो सकते हैं। 'परहित सरिस धर्म नहीं भाई' उक्ति सार्थक हो रही है। केवल इस बात का मलाल रह जाता है कि यह सब हमें संकट के अवसर पर सूझा। सामान्य परिस्थितियों में करते तो कुछ और बात होती।  

हर परिस्थिति में इन दोनों मूल्यों को अपनाना चाहिए। सब अपने-अपने तरीके और सहुलियत से इनको जीवन का हिस्सा बनाए। परीक्षा होने पर ही हम बालकों का स्तर तय कर पाते हैं। इसी प्रकार यह भी एक परीक्षा ही थी। 

अभिभावक अपने बच्चों के साथ, अधिकारी-कर्मचारी जनता के साथ और सभी एक-दूसरे के साथ सहयोग करें और अपनी जिम्मेदारी को ठीक से निभाएँ।  हर स्थान पर ऐसा हो तो किसी प्रकार की कोई विपत्ति हमें छू भी नहीं सकेगी। सबसे ज्यादा उत्तरदायित्व शिक्षकों का बनता हैं, उन्हें अपने विद्यार्थिओं में इन मूल्यों को जागृत करना होगा।

 Grace in the Game: Cricket’s Charm 

Cricket is my top pick amusement of all other open-air diversions in India. I used to play cricket before my house within the stop with my school friends and neighbors. Cricket may be a diversion that began in the British Realm (an English beginning) as it may have begun playing in numerous nations. We require a bat and a ball to play this amusement. The cricket diversion came into fashion and picked up notoriety by the 18th century. There are two groups in cricket with 11 players in each, and two umpires to take note of the deficiencies concurring to the law and judge all the reasonable and unjustifiable while playing cricket. Sometime recently beginning the diversion, a coin is hurled by the team's captain to choose which group begins batting to begin with and the other one bowling. Both of the groups get the chance to bat then again. Be that as it may, the group that wins the hurl does batting, to begin with, and the inverse group does bowling. Cricket has ended up one of the captivating recreations in India from the observers' point of see. When any national or universal level cricket amusement is settled to play, profoundly interested individuals ended up so energized a week sometime recently the begin of the diversion. Numerous cricket darlings begin booking tickets to see them live and on-site cricket diversions within the stadium rather than seeing them on TV or the news. Our nation has ended up one of the foremost popular nations in cricket playing all over the world. Numerous times India has won the world glass and numerous test matches.

Alumni Accounts

As an alumnus and now a teacher at The Fabindia School, I have been fortunate to experience firsthand the profound impact this institution has had on both my personal and professional growth. When I joined the school in the eighth grade, I was a very shy student, unsure of myself and hesitant to express my thoughts. However, the unwavering support and encouragement from my teachers and the principal played a crucial role in helping me overcome this shyness. Their belief in my potential, combined with the nurturing environment they provided, gradually transformed me into a bold and confident individual.

The school’s emphasis on holistic education, where academics, sports, and extracurricular activities were given equal importance, further instilled in me a sense of curiosity, resilience, and a deep love for learning. I was encouraged to explore my interests, think critically, and develop a well-rounded personality.

Over the years, I have witnessed a drastic change in the school, with its commitment to innovation and excellence only growing stronger. The infrastructure has evolved, the curriculum has been enriched, and the opportunities for students to excel have multiplied. This continuous

improvement has not only elevated the school's reputation but has also deepened my pride in being associated with it.

Transitioning from a student to a teacher, I was privileged to get the opportunity to teach at the very school that played such a crucial role in my development. The values and principles imparted to me during my school days continue to guide me in my teaching journey. The collaborative and supportive community among staff and students has not only enhanced my teaching skills but has also deepened my understanding of the transformative power of education. The opportunity to give back to the place that shaped me is incredibly rewarding, and it fills me with pride to see the same spirit of inquiry and growth in my students that was once nurtured in me.

This school holds a special place in my heart, not just as the foundation of my educational journey but as the cornerstone of my development as an individual. I will always be grateful to The Fabindia School for the invaluable lessons, lifelong friendships, and unwavering support it has provided me throughout the years. It is a place that has truly shaped who I am today, and for that, I will always hold it in the highest regard.

Nikita Rajpurohit from the Batch 2010

Mother Nature

We love the most beautiful planet, Earth which has a very clean and attractive nature full of greenery. Nature is our best friend which provides us all the resources to live here. It gives us water to drink, pure air to breathe, food to eat, land to stay on, animals, and plants for our other uses, etc for our betterment. We should fully enjoy nature without disturbing its ecological balance. We should care about our nature, make it peaceful, keep it green, and prevent it from destruction so that we can enjoy our nature forever. Nature is a most precious gift given by God to us to enjoy but not to harm.
