Hence, school should provide multiple opportunities to students to train them in enhancing their creativity and emotional wellbeing. An integrated plotform of arts, crafts and play is necessary for children to learn with joy. For this purpose, No Bag Day has been introduced for classes 1 & 2. During the No Bag days, children do not get their bags to schools and do not engage in subject-specific academic activities. The First and Third Saturdays in the month are dedicated to nurture the other (Non academic/Co-curricular) aspects of child growth and make learning more fun and holistic. The focus areas on these Saturdays will be on life skills education, English language skills enhancement, physical activities, arts and crafts.
