THE INVESTITURE

THE FOUNDATION DAY

As is the tradition, the Investiture Ceremony at Nath

Valley was conducted with great pride and honour. The
parade of student leaders marched towards the amphitheatre in the common morning assembly. The School
Captain Suhani Dube, Vice Captain Pallav Sinha and
Captains holding other portfolios were sworn in by
Dass Sir while the Vice Captains and Assistant Captains by Dixit Maam and Sharda Maam respectively.
Cyber Captain, Vice Captain & Asst. Captain joined
the student council this year! The council pledged to
help the school do the right thing, as our school theme
for 2016-17 suggests.

Nath Valley celebrated 24 years of truth and

knowledge as the merit holders of Class X and XII
were felicitated by the school. A special show,
called the RAPSKITBALL was organized by the
students to enhance the festivities. It consisted of a
scripted basketball match on stage and a rap song
written and composed by students in the background to narrate the match. It left the audience
with an important message that: When things look
hard and there is nowhere to run, unite all the
houses and well fight as one.

AZAADI 70
The 70th Independence Day at Nath Valley was celebrated with great fervour. In a bid to commemorate the
sovereignty of our nation, Principal Dass Sir, escorted by the four pilots, unfurled the tricolour and all the
staff members and students sang the national anthem in unison. Principal Sir then shared his views on the
significance of the day and emphasized specially on the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan launched by our Prime
Minister. After a resounding chorus of Jai Hind, which Sir said must have been heard all over India right
from Kashmir to Kaniyakumari, everyone moved to the amphitheatre for viewing the Independence Day
programme. It commenced with the Welcome Address from the Intra-School Activities Captain, Rajlaxmi
Adwant, who elaborated on Sirs words regarding Indias freedom. Following this, faculty members Shelar
Maam from the Secondary school and Vaidya Maam from the primary school expressed their heartfelt
gratitude towards all the martyrs who had laid down their lives for the sake of Indias rebirth as an independent nation. They recounted the tale of Indias progress from a seedling to a young tree that is still yearning
and pushing itself further. The ardour they had packed in their words was surely brought home and the students, highly inspired, felt compelled to pitch in their bit towards the nations progress. Spirits soared higher
than ever when our Lokmat Patriotic Song Choir gave a commendable power-packed performance, hitting
the perfect note while singing a refreshing medley of patriotic songs. The programme finally came to an end
with our Intra-School Activities Assistant Captain, Jash Kalyani, presenting the Vote of Thanks. However, it
was in no way the end of the day. Where on one hand the Primary students moved to their classes for the
Drawing Competition, on the other hand, the secondary students moved for the big task- Shramdaan. This
activity is a staunch follower of PM Modis Swachh Shala Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and inculcates important
values such as cleanliness, team-work, self-reliance and service among the students. All the duties were divided and the whole school began the cleaning work. Floors were swept, windows were polished, and black
boards were scrubbed. This is one of those few times in the year when the students walk around the school
with brooms and rag cloths in their hands, pitching in their bit towards a clean school and subsequently, a
clean India. The corridors, the campus and the amphitheatre were soon shining. The atmosphere was jubilant. After 3 hours of hard work, all the classes were properly arranged and the students retired to the lunch
hall feeling tired but satisfied. And thus, our 70th Independence Day Celebrations ended with contentment
and delight. Nath Valley in itself is a small India which holds great potential to bring about a change in the
actual one. The only reason for this is the Indianness that reins the heart of every Nath Vallian.

REACHING OUT TO THE CHILDREN

EXHIBITION 2016

Situated in the heart of a village a little far away from

the school is what can rightly be called a Paradise.
Its another school full of innocent smiles and bright
minds. Its called the Anandham School. Every
week, two teachers accompanied by two students
visit this school to teach and interact with the students and help it in every way we can. As soon as we
entered, we were amazed by the spick and span campus. Then moving on, we were graciously greeted by
the headmaster and manager there, who suggested
that we go around and interact with the students
while the Nath Valley teachers conducted their lessons. We first went to the 8th class which ironically
had only 8 students in it. They offered to show us
around the school and we obliged. They interacted
with us without any hesitation and even recited a few
rhymes for us with utmost fervor. We asked them
about their dreams and their goals in life, and were
met by varied answers, all of them highly ambitious
there were choruses of doctor, engineer, police officer, army officer, artist, mathematician and what
not! All these little things made the one hour we
spent there so special. This visit carved a lesson onto
our hearts which we will never forget: These children
have literally no financial support or a well planned
future. They attend school on the available resources.
But no matter what, their faces are always lit with
smiles. Its time we come out of our self-involved
lives and start thinking about others. It was these
children who inspired us more than any book or
quote ever has.

Mathematical games, 3D Mathematical lanterns, Calendar
magic, Monument surface area, Geometry in Architectural
models and presentation on Pascals triangle and rectangle
numbers.
The Art exhibition was a testimony to the students blossoming
imagination as well as a critical and intensely personal record
of themselves in relation to the world as every artist dips his
brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures. Students exhibited their creativity in Decoupage, Calligraphy, Warli, Madhubani, Cubistic, Abstract, Impressionism,
Optical, Paper craft and Macram.
The Software exhibition at the Tech and Media Centre showcased projects of students from class 6 to 12. The students presented projects through programs like Monopoly (Visual
Basic), Concave mirror (Q-B), Maze game (Scratch), Acrobatics (Flash), Management system and Gold Leaf Electroscope
(C++). The Sci-fi movie made by the students received accolades from one and all.
The primary section of Nath Valley school also organized an
exhibition with the theme being Nature. As many as 150 exhibits were based on the following themes from various classes:
Class 1- Wonders of Nature, Class 2- Moods of Nature, Class 3
- Destruction of Nature, Class 4- Furies of Nature, Class 5Gifts of Nature. The students used innovative and eco-friendly
ways to make use of waste items like old t-shirts, rag cloth,
small boxes, cartons that would be thrown away to make cloth
bags, collage of a doll and to depict the scene from the epic
Ramayana. Garden pots were used to make a Minion family
too. 3D Art and Illusions displayed on the boards turned into a
Selfie Corner. Live demonstrations through rap song and skit
were also performed by a group of students leaving an ever
lasting impact on the audience on topics such as Stop Rubbish, Measures to be taken during natural disaster and Our
Planet in 2050.
This exhibition encouraged students to delve deep into concepts that arouse their curiosity. It provided participants an opportunity to investigate their favorite areas and share them with
the school community. It was a learning experience for both the
students and the teachers involved.

I Learn, I Work, I Discover

Little did I know that my school will not just be where learn and sit tests, but where I will imbibe the skill of multitasking. I am associated with Nath Valley since 10 years, and the last three years are the most distinct and cherished. I
was just a mundane student in the beginning of my 8th grade until my mother compelled me to think about what will be
the special thing in me which will distinguish me from the rest. That was the day I wrote my first poem and rediscovered myself to open my window to the world: writing.
What happened next was like never before. My school was just the platform I needed to breach new limits and explore
new possibilities. In less than three months time, I started gaining support and popularity for my work. My house
teachers gave me countless opportunities to write and direct assembly scripts. That was just the stepping stone to filling
the apparently blank page of my school life. In the 9th grade, I was summoned a couple of times for help. By then, I was
very proud of my school and happy to be a part of it, because it had given me the power and backing to change myself
for the greater good. Next, I wrote parts of the compering script for annual day and my seniors appreciated what I did
instead of simply denying my inputs. Then, I started to develop a good rapport with my seniors too.
All I want to say is that this school is a delightful place. It changes you and your approach
towards work and study. In grade 10, I feel as if I am working in a multinational company
and I just love it. I like the life I live, a life full of deadlines, commitments, reviews and criticism. Seven years from now, if I am able to achieve my dreams and goals, I would invariably
give all the credit to my school and my teachers.
