The Indian School organised an orientation programme for the parents and students of classes X and XII on 8 March 2025.
The primary objective of the orientation was to provide parents with an in-depth understanding of the School’s policies and procedures, while also offering clarity on the changes introduced in the board examination system for class 10.
The programme commenced with a welcome address by Principal Ms Tania Joshi who emphasised the critical role of parental involvement in their child’s education. She spoke about how collaboration between the parents and the School ensures a conducive learning environment that fosters growth and overall well-being for every student.
The next session was led by Ms Kajal Soni, class X coordinator, who provided a detailed overview of the School’s policies and procedures. She covered essential topics such as attendance regulations, discipline expectations, uniform guidelines and communication protocols between parents and the School. Additionally, Ms Soni introduced the new board examination system for class 10, explaining the significant changes in the examination format, assessment criteria and the evaluation process. Her presentation ensured that parents are well-equipped to guide their children through these changes.
School counsellor Ms Meghna Joshi guided the parents through the emotional and psychological aspects of students’ transition, from class 9 to 10 and from class 11 to 12. Ms Joshi skillfully conveyed that these milestones are not just academic challenges, but pivotal moments of self-discovery, identity formation and personal growth. She stressed the importance of creating an environment where students can thrive, drawing on storytelling to inspire hope and show that there were multiple paths to success.
Ms Meghna Joshi tackled the often-feared concept of failure, reframing it as an essential part of the learning journey. She encouraged parents to help their children embrace setbacks and see them as opportunities for growth. Drawing attention to the importance of physical well-being, she underscored how adequate sleep, nutrition and exercise are vital for a student’s academic and emotional resilience. In her closing words, she redefined discipline, presenting it as an act of self-love that nurtures one’s future potential, rather than as a mere set of restrictions.
The session set a positive tone for the upcoming academic year, encouraging parents to play an active role in their child’s educational journey. With a focus on emotional resilience, discipline and well-being, the programme emphasised the importance of creating an environment where students can excel not only academically but also personally, ensuring that they are prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
