How students can utilize their summer vacation

Summer is the hottest season of the year however kids enjoy a lot because of the long vacation. It is very interesting and entertaining season for them. They enjoy a long school off during summer vacation. Thoughts of summer vacation may include images of time at the beach or lake, lazy days escaping the heat, and no thought of classes or the stress of the past.

Even though the enjoyment brings lot of pleasure to the students, the vacation is not a time for wasting. Hence students should utilize this time for enjoyment as well as for getting various knowledge by joining in several creativity developing classes. This will bring pleasure as well as good knowledge and skills. 

The creativity developing courses are of different types. Some of the courses are, graphics and animation oriented courses, toys and craft working, painting classes, dancing etc. These types of classes during vacation will help the students to refresh their mind in a better way. The students can also involve in playing along with these courses. These courses will not bring any stress on students. Instead it will make their minds happy. This will come handy in the long run.

Some of the things students can take up during the summer vacations are-

Seek your hidden talent: This is the right time to find out what talent lies in you. You might be blessed with a capability of singing well or writing. Find that out if you haven’t. And if you know what you are good at, then fine tune it and become the best you can.

Follow your passion: Each of us like to do something, for instance, there may be some who would want to learn how to play a music instrument or students who have their passion in Sports should take up various sports to maintain their overall growth and mentality. Playing sports teaches life lessons like discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, accountability, and teamwork. Students should also read novels, General Knowledge books etc. during their vacation to increase their knowledge and vocabulary. This is the best time to do things you like which will add value to your knowledge.

Learn something new: There are so many exciting things for you to learn, like a new language, a new art form, a new programming language etc. Learn things which will enhance your knowledge while you can. You will always have some experience when you do this and it will make things easier to learn when you come across the same in future.

Learn to discover: Explore the places of significance like a place of historic importance. Or visit the museum just to collect the facts. Or any inspiring place where you can think of new ideas. Perhaps you might get sufficient inspiration to discover or even invent something new!

Make new friends: Find people of similar interests. Share and receive the knowledge. Exchange ideas. Friends are the best aid to put an end to idle mind!

Hence, summer vacation is the most important part of a students’ life to help them grow and develop themselves for a better future.

Ways to Help Your Children Succeed At School

A Child's first and most important teacher is their parents itself. When

parents and families are involved in their children's activities, the

children do better and have better feelings about going to school. There are

many ways that parents can support their children's learning at home and

throughout the school year.

Develop a partnership with your child's teachers and school staff

As soon as the school year starts, try to find a way to meet your child's

teacher. Let the teacher know you want to help your child learn. Try to know

the people at your child's school who are there to help grow your child

learn, grow socially and emotionally and navigate the school environment. 

Schools usually have few parent-teacher's meet each year. Parents should

attend the parent-teacher's meet and keep in touch with your child's

teacher. 

Support your child academically

Ask the teacher how well your child is doing in class compared to other

students. If your child is having problems with learning, ask the school to

evaluate your child in his or her strongest language. Make sure that your

child gets homework done. Let your child know that you think education is

important and that homework needs to be done each day. If it is difficult

for you to help your child with homework or school projects, see if you can

find someone else who can help or contact the school.

Tests play an important role in determining a student's grade. Parents

should help their child prepare for the test.

Get involved with your child's school

Parents should read the information the school sends home, and ask to

receive information in your native language if necessary. Remember to keep 

track of events throughout the school year. Teachers appreciate it when parents 

help out at the school! 

Support your child's learning at home

Showing our children that we both value education and use it in our daily

lives provides them with powerful models and contributes greatly to their

success in school. Helping your child become a reader is the single most

important thing that you can do to help the child to succeed in school-and

in life. Talking and listening play major roles in children's school

success. It's through hearing parents and family members talk and through

responding to that talk that young children begin to pick up the language

skills they will need if they are to do well. Libraries are places of

learning and discovery for everyone. Encourage your child to use the library

on a daily basis. 

Taking responsibility and working independently are important qualities for

school success. Therefore, encourage your child to be responsible and work

independently.

Interactive Counselling Session held on 9th April 2016

“A child educated only at school is an uneducated child”—George Santayana

Parents and educators are partners in education. When they come together and are inspired to facilitate learning, our children are the winners. With this objective an interactive counselling session with the school authority, students of class-XII, their parents and the PGT teachers was organised in Axel Public School, Lokhra on 9thApril, 2016. The session was meant for formulating and strengthening the education process to the students as it is the most important subject which the educators may be engaged in. 

The session started at 9 am with the registration of parents and students. The  response was very much appreciable. They were given a warm welcome and the objectives of the interactive session were highlighted.

A valuable and inspirational speech was delivered by Hon’ble Director, Mr. Prasanta Choudhury. He reminded the students about the duties and responsibilities and advised them regarding management of time, which is the need of the hour.

Separate questionnaires prepared for parents and students were handed out, where they gave their views and suggestions. The questionnaires provided information about parent-child relationship, interests of the students, their strength and weakness and daily schedule.

Leonardo da Vinci had said, “Time stays long enough for those who use it”.

Everybody should value time as it is very precious. A wonderful video on the value of time was played in order to pave the way to success through proper planning and utilisation of time.

The Principal, Mrs Monti Gogoi Choudhury, expressed pleasure and happiness on the co-operation extended by the parents and students. She started the session by mentioning about the bond between parents, students and teachers.

Role played by parents is very vital which the parents agreed to and opined that their role is not to provide education only but to educate their children mentally and spiritually as well. They need to make their children feel secure and loved. It is the parents who mould the child.

School/Educational institution is considered to be the temple of learning. Educators assist the learners in the institute. School does not provide knowledge pertaining to course content only but educators give in their best to inculcate values and ethics from a very young age. Educators will be able to guide well with the co-operation of the students.

Students should realise their roles and responsibilities inside as well as outside the classroom. Their good behaviour inside the classroom will enable them to acquire the knowledge and skills whereas good behaviour outside the classroom will set examples for others.

Parents, students and educators have to overcome various problems. These problems were catered to during the counselling session. A common problem faced by parents is to make their children study as majority of them do not like to study. So parents face a tough time in motivating them to study. Other problems discussed were – management of time, excess use of mobile phones, excess surfing of the net, playing games and unaware of friends.

Students were given the opportunity to share their problems. Most of them face difficulty in managing time for self study. A few students also expressed the need to develop a friendly relation with their parents. Some also queried about the necessity of following rules and regulations in the school.

The teachers also placed the problems they face in the classroom. Some of the problems were irregularity in school, lack of co-operation , concentration, sincerity, hesitation in clearing doubt, inattentiveness in the class, lack of communication with parents.

The counselling session ended on a positive note wherein it was agreed that for the proper progress and development of the students it is very much essential to motivate and appreciate their achievements and effort. The importance of monitoring the activities of the children was discussed. To cope up with today’s competition children were given tips to handle the stress.

At the end parents, teachers and the school management all expressed their willingness to work as a community with the objective of nurturing and moulding future valuable, responsible citizens of tomorrow.

What are you looking to study, Science, Commerce or Humanities after 10th?

There is always a doubt or a slight hesitation on what to study after Class X. Right after Class X board exams, pressure starts building up on the student as to which stream is better for higher education. This is the ideal time for a student to evaluate his/her skills and choose the right stream.

The choice of Science, Commerce or Humanities after Class X is a tough one. All these courses lay the foundation on which a student’s future career is built. Each stream is associated with various subjects and students/parents need to be careful in realizing one’s interest and capabilities. While Commerce stream covers subjects such as Economics, Accounts, Organization of Commerce and Mathematics; Science has Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics etc. For students opting for Humanities Stream they can choose subjects such as Economics, Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Psychology, History, Informatics Practices, Mathematics, Business Studies, Health and Physical Education.

Benefits of Studying Commerce:

• No matter which industry you choose to work in, a sound understanding of Commerce is invaluable to your career prospects. From financial markets and economics to the latest management practices, studying commerce can offer you the skills and knowledge to prepare you for a successful career.
• Recession or no recession, commerce is a subject which will always be in demand unlike those from the engineering or management background

Benefits of Studying Science

• Students can opt for professional streams like engineering and medicine after the +2 level
• A student will be at an advantage to discover and invent/research things that would be beneficial to the society at large
• Science subjects like Biology teaches us how living things work, Physics enlightens us with the working of the universe and Chemistry helps us with the knowledge of various chemical processes and how they can be utilized.

Benefits of Studying Humanities

Many employers prefer people from Humanities background because not only do they have the ability to work independently and analytically but they are also experts in collecting information and writing clearly and coherently.

All the streams have potential for STUDENTS to build a prospective career. But some points are to be kept in mind while choosing a particular stream. In Science one gets various career options in medicine, technology and scientific research.

While with Commerce you will mostly deal with business or finance process in all the professional domains. Moreover, one has the option for going for professional courses such as CA, CMA, or CS to name a few.

The career horizon for those who belong to Humanities is limit less. Students can choose from a range of career options such as teaching, social work, law, politics, business, television, journalism etc.

Saraswati : Goddess of Learning

Goddess Saraswati symbolizes knowledge, art and wisdom. Every year, she is worshipped across the entire Indian subcontinent during the month of Magh. Axel fraternity held a divine Saraswati Puja this year on 13th of February. The whole teaching staff was cleaved into groups. Each group was allocated respective Puja chores. A squad of students also collaborated with them as volunteers. All the duties and responsibilities were successfully effectuated. 

Multitudinous parents, relations and friends of the pupils and teachers as well came to seek the blessings of the Goddess. The students, especially of classes tenth and twelfth performed the ritual of Anjali( offertory prayer) as they will be appearing for their Board examinations.

The school arena was filled with young girls and boys draped in Indian traditional attires owing to the age-old custom of Saraswati Puja.

It was out and out a blissful aura. Prasad was dispersed and all savoured it.

Study hard study smart

Every student desires to achieve good academic results, and for that it requires a lot of dedication and hard work. We at Axel Public School take individual care and attention of all our students and guide them to achieve the best academic results. Axel’s In – House Coaching Centre and Career and Guidance Cell prepares the students for their future through tutoring, counselling and internships. However, only mentoring and getting the required study materials is not enough, one must develop good study habits in order to succeed. The sooner you get into a good study habit the chances of securing good marks will improve.

Let’s discuss some of the best study tips for students.

Create your study space

Everyone has your own idea of selecting their own study space. You can study anywhere, but definitely study rooms, libraries and study lounges are obviously the best places for studying. Your study space should be comfortable, quiet and distraction free. So try selecting a good physical environment as a part of your study habits.

Study every day

Studying every day will help you understand your lessons well and will also avoid the stress of last-minute learning. A little bit of study every day will also help you to continually reviewing your lessons in your mind. So, always try to study at least for 3-4 hour every day, depending on your curriculum.

Manage your time

You must always plan your time so that you can make the most of your study time. It is advisable to set alarms about your regular study plans. Stick a wall planner so that you can regularly keep an eye on your exams and assignment due dates. Also stick in your regular study time table and follow accordingly. Before starting your study session always check your study time table and set time for yourself to spend on each subject.

Review and revise your lessons

Reviewing and revising will help you to remember your lessons well. You should make it a point to revise your lessons that you have studied in class at least once a week. Try helping your friends with their lessons, ask questions to your friends, and in this way you can find out what you know and what you still need to learn.

Take breaks in between your study

Studying too long can actually decrease your concentration level, so it is important that you take breaks in between your study time especially when you are tired or frustrated. When taking a break, be sure you get away from your study space or desk. Little bit of walking may help you to relax your mind.

Understand your learning style

Most of us have our own style of learning. Some learn by listening, some by seeing and some by doing the task. If you learn by listening you can record you key points and listen whenever you want. If you are a visual learner then you can make diagrams or can use colours in your notes to help represent the key points. If you learn by doing the task then you can apply methods like building models or role-playing to understand your key point. Therefore it is good to discover your own learning style so that you can learn your best.

If you really want to excel in your academic career then you must not only read but make sure you cultivate good studying habits. Following a proper study method will not only improve your performance but will also increase your learning ability in general.

Wishing you all the best – Axel Public School

“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.
