Theatre Club Activities




Theatre is intrinsic to a sound education. To help students understand how theatre can help them evolve as better individuals CMS Gomtinagar Campus I started its Theatre Club two years ago. This theatre club under the patronage of NJS (Not Just Studies) has been conducting classes for both Primary and Junior school students on a weekly basis. On Saturday the theatre club students of the primary section and the junior section of Gomtinagar Campus I presented two plays on stage, Sword in the Stone (based on the story of King Arthur) & Minister’s Vow (the English translation of Sanskrit drama Pratigya-yaugandharayan by Bhasa). The students were trained by the trainers of Not Just Studies (NJS), Raghav Sharma and Abhishek Singh under the guidance of its Director Sajal Modi. The occasion was graced by the presence of our beloved Dr. Bharti Gandhi, Senior Principal Ma'am Batra, Ma'am Sangeeta Banerjee Principal Gomtinagar Campus II, Ma'am Rekha Sharma, Dr. Manju Anand and the parents of the student participants. The Principal Ma'am Abha Anant congratulated the teachers and students for the brilliant performance and reiterated that the Theatre Club was established on the motivation of our beloved Badi Didi who aspires to see her students benefit from what theatre can provide.

Apart from gaining skills of acting and public speaking, the students also improve upon vital inter-personal and life skills such as discipline, team-work, listening-skills, decision-making and emotional Intelligence. Teachers have found a noticeable change in some of these students; their aggression and hyper-activity has found a channel of expression in these theatre classes. These plays will be presented in the school assemblies for a larger audience. We wish to see many more students become a part of this theatre Club.

These activities lasted for around 4 hours with children returning home tired but elated. The school plans to host many such adventure camps in future as well.


Children’s Day Celebration




There was a time when choosing the colour of a sketch pen was a tough task getting the window seat on the school bus was a big deal, getting a toffee as a birthday treat from a friend made our day being the first to finish copying from the blackboard was a moment of pride, hiding the answer from our partner was not selfishness, when homework was the only torture, all elders were ideal, early to bed early to rise was life's mantra, owning a bicycle or one coveted doll was the only treasure to look good was only to put loads of powder and a neat comb television time was a community time, nothing compared to mum's cotton sari pallu to wipe a runny nose and teary eyes and dad's shadow was good enough to get the schoolbooks out

Childhood is about innocence and playfulness. It is about joy and freedom. So with this joy, primary section of CMS Gomti Nagar Campus I, celebrated children's day starting with table top cooking where the little ones mimicked their mothers culinary crusades without the danger of the real kitchen activities. It was followed by a series of other fun filled activities including dancing, tele matches and singing and kids' movie show.

Remember the greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of Independence. Happy Children's day to all.
