As we stand at the threshold of a new year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of New Year resolutions and the impact they can have on your personal and academic lives.
The start of a new year marks an opportunity for a fresh beginning, a chance to set new goals and embrace positive changes. New Year resolutions are not just a tradition but a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth.
They provide a structured way for you to articulate your aspirations and take deliberate steps towards achieving them.
Setting resolutions allows you to focus your energy and efforts on specific areas of improvement. Whether it’s academic achievements, personal habits, or interpersonal relationships, resolutions help you define your objectives and create a roadmap for success.
This process of self-reflection is essential for understanding your strengths and areas that need development.
ADV. Happy New Year Every one
Furthermore, New Year resolutions instill a sense of discipline and commitment. When you set goals for yourself, you are essentially making a commitment to your own growth and well-being. This commitment builds character and resilience, teaching you the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges. It’s not just about making resolutions but about cultivating the discipline to follow through on them.
Moreover, resolutions foster a positive mindset. As you articulate your goals and work towards them, you create a sense of purpose and direction in your life. This positivity is contagious, affecting not only your own attitude but also influencing those around you. A positive mindset is a catalyst for success, enhancing your ability to overcome obstacles and approach challenges with determination.
In the realm of academics, setting resolutions can significantly impact your performance. Whether it’s improving study habits, seeking help when needed, or setting realistic academic goals, these resolutions can pave the way for academic excellence. The sense of accomplishment that comes from achieving your resolutions will boost your confidence and motivation.
As the Chairman of this esteemed institution, I encourage each one of you to embrace the tradition of setting New Year resolutions. Use this opportunity to reflect on your personal and academic journey, set meaningful goals, and commit to the path of self-improvement.
Dear Parents’ Admissions are open now for 2024-25

Hate Speech: Girls might be targeted with offensive and discriminatory language online, causing emotional harm and affecting their self-esteem.
Identity Theft: Cyber criminals can steal a girl’s personal information to impersonate her online, leading to various forms of exploitation and fraudulent activities.
Cyber-crime poses a significant threat to children; girl children in particular, making it crucial for them and their parents to be vigilant and proactive. In the digital age, girls are often targeted online, facing harassment, cyber bullying, and even exploitation.
It is crucial for parents, guardians and teachers to educate girls about these potential threats and teach them how to protect themselves online.
First of all, parents and guardians should play a pivotal role in safeguarding the girl children from cyber-crime. They should educate their children about online safety, teaching them about the dangers they might face and how to recognize and report suspicious activities. Parents should install reliable parental control software to monitor their children’s online activities and set appropriate restrictions. Regular communication with children about their online experiences can help parents stay informed and address any concerns promptly.
Above all, the fact that must be underlined is that there should be a gateway of open communication between girls and parents that can effectively protect the children against these threats.To protect themselves, girls should follow some essential precautions. They should never share personal information like addresses, phone numbers, or school details online. Avoid accepting friend requests or messages from strangers, as these individuals might have malicious intentions. It’s essential to be cautious while posting photos and avoid sharing inappropriate content.
Oratory, the art of eloquent speech, has been a potent force shaping the course of history and inspiring masses. Throughout centuries, leaders have harnessed the power of words to ignite revolutions, foster unity, and drive change. Winston Churchill, the stalwart British Prime Minister, once said, “We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.” This sentiment underscores the significance of oratory in leadership.
Great orators like Martin Luther King Jr. and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech exemplify the impact of persuasive rhetoric. His words, “I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream,” resonated deeply, fuelling the civil rights movement in the United States. Similarly, Mahatma Gandhi’s eloquence galvanized India’s fight for independence, his words echoing, “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Historically, orators like Abraham Lincoln transformed nations with their speeches. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, with its timeless words, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” encapsulates the essence of democracy and inspired generations.
Abraham Lincoln
Oratory transcends time, as seen in the mesmerizing speeches of leaders like Nelson Mandela, whose words, “It always seems impossible until it is done,” inspired hope and reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa.
Nelson Mandela
Shakespeare exemplified the power of speech through the oratory power of his two immortal characters; Brutus and Antony in his epic drama, Julius Caesar.
Brutus and Antony in the epic drama, Julius Caesar
Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s noble words “To be liberated, woman must feel free to be herself, not in rivalry to man but in the context of her own capacity and her personality.” clearly show us the power of speech that inspires generations to come.
Pandit Jawaharlal’s energetic speech ‘Tryst with Destiny’ is yet another example of oratory with a purpose.
In essence, oratory has a transformative power, capable of bridging divides, instilling hope, and driving societies toward progress. Through the ages, leaders have harnessed this art, proving that words, when wielded with eloquence and purpose, have the power to change the world.
I am writing to emphasize the profound significance of festivals in our rich and diverse country, India. Festivals in India are not merely celebrations; they are threads that weave the cultural fabric of our nation, binding us together in unity and harmony.
Our festivals carry centuries-old traditions, values, and customs. They serve as a reminder of our shared heritage, teaching us to respect and appreciate the diversity that defines our society. Diwali illuminates the triumph of light over darkness, symbolizing knowledge dispelling ignorance.
Holi, the festival of colours, exemplifies the joy of unity in diversity. Eid fosters the spirit of generosity and communal harmony. Christmas brings in the value of compassion and sacrifice. Each festival carries unique teachings, promoting understanding and acceptance among all.
Furthermore, festivals play a pivotal role in promoting social cohesion. They provide opportunities for families and communities to come together, reinforcing the importance of togetherness and mutual support. Through these celebrations, our children learn invaluable lessons about empathy, compassion, and the spirit of giving.
In the spirit of these festivals, let us embrace the diversity that makes our country extraordinary. Let us celebrate our differences and similarities alike, fostering an environment of love, acceptance, and understanding within our school and beyond.
Added Part about Dussehra
Now, that we are celebrating Dussehra with great fervour and joy I would like to say a few things about this festival in particular.
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, holds immense social and religious significance in Hindu culture. Socially, it symbolizes the victory of good over evil, encouraging people to embrace righteousness and reject negativity. The festival fosters a sense of unity and joy within communities, as families come together to celebrate. It also promotes cultural harmony and understanding among diverse groups.
Religiously, Dussehra marks the triumph of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, signifying the victory of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (unrighteousness). It is a time for devotees to reflect on moral values and spiritual principles. The day is often associated with the worship of Goddess Durga, representing the divine feminine energy and strength.
Dussehra instils moral and ethical lessons, reminding people of the importance of truth, courage, and compassion. The celebrations strengthen social bonds, promote religious tolerance, and inspire individuals to lead a virtuous life, making it a vital festival in the rich tapestry of India’s cultural and religious heritage.
Wishing you all a joyous festive season filled with love, compassion, and unity.

For the last few years, our state has been witnessing excessive rains during the rainy season. So much so that the preparedness of the government or individuals seem to be inadequate howsoever carefully planned.
Rainy season opens a plethora of health issues, particularly for children and elderly. The dampening weather would readily aid the bacteria and germs to thrive and cold, cough and fever are commonly noticed in children. Besides, the dangers of drains and flooding water make young children particularly vulnerable. It’s high time parents take extra precautions to ensure their children are safeguarded from the seasonal change flus and other dangers.

The art department of our Greenwood High School believes that every student should have the right to have personalised support to reach the limits of their capability.
Talented students in art require increased stretch and challenge in the classroom, and the opportunities to further their talents outside school. Therefore, our Art Department aims at all students to be potentially talented and to show the following skills:
Think and express themselves in creative, original ways.
Have a strong desire to create in a visual form as they are driven by ideas, imagination, humour or personal experience.
Show a passionate interest in the world of art and design
Use materials, tools and techniques skillfully and learn new approaches easily and they are keen to extend their technical abilities and sometimes get frustrated when other skills do not develop at the same time
Our Students are identified as gifted for a variety of reasons:
##They perform at an advanced National Curriculum level
##Their outcomes are of exceptional quality
##They show excellent skills in a specific area
