"The classroom – journey of learning begins"
Classrooms at Daniel Thomas look pleasant, bright, spacious and equipped with smart boards which intensify the students’ way of learning. The furniture, decor of each classroom has been designed for different students’ groups to facilitate enhanced teaching and learning. For kindergarten and primary grade students, classes are aligned in a centrally teaching way for more interaction. For higher classes, the directional structure has been used for even more interaction with the class as a group.
"Labs – experiment, experience and explore"
Our school has well-equipped labs with full safety measures and all apparatus to explore experiments pertaining to Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is here the students indulge in applying and practicing the concepts that they have learnt in the classroom. Our school also includes a well-networked computer lab which provides each student with an independent workstation.
" The Library is the heart of the school "
Our school library houses a collection of books that serves to meet the educational, informative and recreational needs of the students. Besides serving students in their research, the library aims at creating interest in reading amongst the students. The library has been neatly categorized subject-wise for easy reference based on age and class groups. The entire operation is computerized including the acquisition, cataloguing, lending, financial transactions, reminder, follow up, return, renewal and allocation of books.
"Active play is the sole way of increasing brain activity levels"
Our school has a large open area with a promising setting to promote children’s physical activity for sustained health outcomes. Playgrounds create a pathway for the students to develop their creativity, imagination and team spirit. All learning, emotional, social, motor and cognitive skills are accelerated, facilitated and fuelled by the pleasure of play. Sports training is done here. We train our students in various sports activities such as football, volleyball, handball, hockey, khokho, kabbadi etc.
"Eyes forward, mind focused, heart ready, game on……"
Competitions offer a chance for participants to gain substantial experience, showcase skills, analyse and evaluate outcomes and uncover personal aptitude. Our students enthusiastically participated in many interschool competitions, exhibitions, cultural events and won many cups and medals. Sports zeal in our students is exceptional and they have always been winning lots of laurels at the zonal, district, state and national levels.
"A festival is an occasion of enjoyment and celebration which promotes social interaction and harmony"
Children will remember an important day only if they are told what the occasion signifies. So, a celebration makes them aware of the world in a more fun way. Celebrating events and festivals in our school has become an integral part of learning and building a strong cultural belief. Such celebrations bring the students closer to each other’s traditions and cultural beliefs and develop respect and understanding for each other’s customs and traditions.
An efficient transport system is operated by the school to ensure the safe travel of the students to the school. We provide transportation facilities for students who travel more than 2 kms every day to reach our campus. Our school bus services have drivers and conductors who are with the system for more than 5 years with their background checks verified. Travelling by school buses will give your ward, a sense of responsibility, self-awareness and time management skills. They are accompanied by a staff to ensure the children engage in healthy conversation and safe games.
At Daniel Thomas, we believe that it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of students on our premises. Our entire campus is considered a safe zone with the installation of CCTV cameras in the playground, buses and classrooms. We record the entry and exit of all people entering the premises. We have also taken extra care in choosing the right kind of equipment for the science labs and furniture in the classrooms that do not cause any harm. A team of student volunteers is assigned as Road Safety Patrol (RSP) under the supervision of physical trainers and they render effective service in regulating the traffic outside the school premises. We teach the students to take care of themselves so that they get motivated to make positive choices. We have an eco-friendly environment to promote the well-being of the students and will help them to grow as responsible citizens.
