 Personal and Social Skills : These essential life-tools include developing self-control, listening skills, public speaking skills, leadership qualities, time management skills, dealing with stress, working in groups, and the ability to set and achieve personal goals. Many of these items are formally taught, especially in the upper grades. They are also "caught" by following the examples set by our teachers. Indeed, this is one of the key reasons BGIS is a residential school: to give students the opportunity to gain insights and develop desirable skills and values by observing teachers who practise what they reach. Co-curriculum & Sports: With classroom plays and productions performed before thousands, the drama department brings life, colour and energy to the school. Learning through drama has always been effective - voice, movement, teamwork and memorisation are some of the skills learned, not to mention handling the excitement of the performance. Our drama troupe is regularly invited to perform in major Indian cities. In the music department, we teach traditional instruments like the mrdanga, tabla, harmonium and sitar, along with an understanding of classical tal and raga, chants and songs. Traditioanl Indian music is a powerful and devotional art form, and we encourage all students to take part in the music programme. Sketching, modelling, paper-mache, painting, mask-making - the children love what goes on the in the art room. Art is also used in the classrooms in multiple-intelligence learning strategies. Sports serves as a healthy outlet for the boy's youthful energy. Besides providing excellent physical exercise, it helps develop quick thinking, the ability to work in teams, and the capacity to acknowledge the skills and capabilities of others. Soccer, cricket, volleyball, swimming, tae-kwon-do, yoga, basketball and table tennis are available. The school also holds a yearly Sports Day and participates in interschool and state competitions. Health and Safety: Living at BGIS means a healthy life - rising early, keeping clean, getting lots of fresh air and exercise, enjoying fresh vegetarian food and pure cow's milk from our own gosalla. All drinking water comes from our reverse-osmosis water purifying plant. In addition, we have a full-time registered nurse in charge of dispensary and infirmary. She tends to the student's minor ailments and, for more serious problems, she networks with doctors in the area and at Delhi's Apollo Hospital. The first week of each school year is called Health and Safety Week. We teach water safety, fire safety and general accident safety. The students are also given assertiveness training for personal projection in the event of finding themselves in a dangerous or abusive situation. Good health is not just a matter of being physically fit. It is the interdependent balance of the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical parts of our being. We strive to create an atmosphere where students feel safe and nourished in all respects. There is no corporal punishment at BGIS. |
