Dear Parents,
As we come to a close of yet another exceedingly successful
academic year, it gives me immense pride and satisfaction in
sharing with you some of our accomplishments in the year gone by
as well as aspirations in the years to come.
As in the past few years we reinforced our excellent academic
standing nationwide, in the Board Examinations, 2003-2004 with a
brilliant record both from the ISC and ICSE classes. A
meticulously planned and progressive academic schedule
undoubtedly gives us the extra edge.
In the forthcoming academic session I propose to introduce
in-house coaching for IIT and Medical aspirants by professionals
thereby giving the children an added advantage. It shall remain
my endeavour to better ourselves and constantly evolve, keeping
in mind that a new vision is vital for our young students in
this ever challenging world.
Having felt the paucity of open space for our outdoor
activities, I am delighted to inform you that with the
acquisition of our two new games fields, both adjoining the
School campus our sports facilities have been enormously
enhanced. The Junior wing now has for itself their very own play
field thus enabling us to host a lot more sports and fun
activities. The new field for the Senior section coupled with
the joining of a trained cricket instructor has set the cricket
fever ablaze in the Brightlands campus. Children interested in
taking lessons from trained professionals in various games will
have the option of staying back after school hours thus
providing the students with ample opportunity. This I am sure
will benefit the students greatly in the development of a well
rounded personality.
Furthermore we now have another plot adjacent to the Junior play
field where I plan to construct a multi-purpose auditorium which
shall serve as a pair of basketball and badminton courts as well
as provide the perfect space and ambience for all our various
cultural and extra-curricular programs.
The significance of co-curricular activities in playing a key
role in the overall development of a child is indisputable. I
feel gratified in the outstanding performance of our School and
would like to elucidate some of our laurels held over the past
year in various National level competitions.
In the annual Albert Barrow Memorial All-India Creative Writing
Competition, 2004 conducted by the Council for the Indian School
Certificate Examinations, New Delhi we had two of our scribes
figure among the top ten writers nation wide.
Instituted for the first time in 2004, the Inter- School
National Challenge “Speak Out” Outlook Debate was aced by our
team as they adroitly made their way into the National Finals
speeding comfortably past the top schools of the country as the
1st Runners Up.
Our prolific scholars sailed through grueling rounds of tough
competition from the best schools of India to a triumphant
National 3rd Position in the All-India Eicher Skyline Quiz,
2004.
It is no mean coincidence that for the third time in a row we've
been declared National winners in the INCA National Map Quiz
Contest, 2004 organized by the Indian National Cartographic
Association, Hyderabad.
In this years TERI sponsored Green Olympiad, TERRA QUIZ, our
team qualified the Preliminary Rounds into the National
Televised Round where after a stunning delivery in the Quarter
Finals, we qualified for the Semi Final Round.
In a frenetic but marvelous display of top-notch quizzing acumen
through several rounds, Brightlands proved its mettle once again
by emerging North Zone Champions in the prestigious ESPN Quiz.
Pallavi Malik, Class VIII and Droan Malik, Class VII, were both
awarded Scholarships worth Rs.5400/- each by the Sports
Authority of India for displaying incontestable prowess in Table
Tennis. Both players have been champions many times over in
various Inter-School and District level Tournaments.
Atishay Jain of Class XI, clinched a position in the NTSE
Scholarship for high school education and also received an
annual book grant.
For all our accomplishments I am fortunate in having a vibrant
and dedicated team of staff members who serve with a single
minded aim of imparting diverse and rich tutelage to our
students. I shall be committed in my pursuit to offer a
satisfying blend of academics and extra curricular activities
that will augur well with the demanding society in the years to
come. Brightlands is an embodiment of our aspirations and a
benediction that should add to the educational excellence.
It is indeed with your good wishes and sustained support that we
have achieved much in a relatively short span of time. With
God's Blessings and our firmness of purpose, I will continue to
take Brightlands from strength to strength.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely |
