“A Mile For Smile” walkathon

On 24th January 2016, Mission Smile conducted the inauguration of its 13th Guwahati International Mission by organising a walkathon from the Latasil field to the Mahendra Mohan Choudhury Hospital. With an impressive slogan “A Mile For Smile”, the walkathon started early morning at 7 am.

The students of Axel Public School prepared themselves for the run ahead of them and reached the site at 7 am and after sometime everyone was handed a white t-shirt with the logo of the event on it. The weather complimented the event as it slowly drizzled as we started our walkathon.

The place was rather cold and wet but it definitely gave a certain aura to the event that really made it pleasant. Slowly other participants started pouring in and the queue stretched. Forming rows of 4, all of us got excited for the walkathon to start.

The organizers started the event with the familiar wave of the flag and off went all the participants. On our way out, we were handed sheets with slogans written on it for us to chant on our way to the Hospital. There were cheers and screams all around us.

Everyone was chanting to it, if not in unison but in enthusiasm. There were cameraman and TV reporters all around us clicking every moment, every turn of the walk. And the best part was, they were very enthusiastic and cheered us on and even chanted the slogans with us.

After an hour of walking and screaming, upon arrival, we were handed bottles of water and seating arrangement were made and this was followed by the breakfast. Meanwhile, the inaugural ceremony had started with the auspicious tradition of lamp lightening.

This was followed by speeches by a few distinguished people. The organizers adjourned the event by thanking all the participants and the well-wishers for the successful event and soon enough, we were on our way out from the walkathon that managed to wake us up at 6 in the morning and start walking.

Importance of Teacher-Student Interaction Sessions in School

Effective teacher-student interactions are an active and an important ingredient for social and academic development of the student. A personal interaction of the teacher with his or her students can make a major difference for students. With low student- teacher ratio Axel Public School aims at all round development of its students. At Axel Public School the teachers take individual care and attention of the students and guide them to achieve better academic results. Regular teacher-student interaction sessions are also encouraged at Axel Public School because it creates a sense of excitement about learning amongst the students. These interaction sessions also make the students feel comfortable in the classroom and build a positive environment in the classroom. Teachers who promote positive relationships with their students generate a classroom atmosphere more conducive to learning and meet the emotional, developmental and academic needs of the student. The career guidance cell in Axel Public School assists the students to handle their present challenges and assist to explore their choice and future opportunities.

The key factor in maintaining a good teacher-student relationship is that he or she needs to continuously monitor the student in order for him or her to be aware of any problems that a student is facing. Understanding the difficulties, confusion or fear of the student will give the teacher a better knowledge about the student learning problems. Once the teacher becomes conscious of the problems faced by the student he or she can help them teach better and thus making them feel secure and less confused when learning is occurring in the classroom.

Strong teacher-student interactions may be one of the major environmental aspects in changing a student’s educational path. The quality of teacher-student relationship will result in a greater degree of learning in the classroom. A good teacher-student relationship may be the keystone that allows the other aspects to work well.
