A special workshop was conducted for the students from classes 6th to 8th on “Self Discipline, Classroom Etiquette and Effective Public Speaking” which was facilitated by Mr Brijanand Reddy, fondly referred to as Dada ji in the school.
The primary impetus of the training was to generate the tremendous will power among the students so as to induce self control and self discipline. Classroom etiquette was also inculcated among the students by involving them in different role plays, sensitizing through videos and engaging them in various activities, in which students participated wholeheartedly and most enthusiastically.
Physical and mental involvement of the students enhanced their receptivity and was able to grasp the hidden message behind every task assigned to them earnestly. The sole purpose was in accrediting them with basic moral values and etiquette along with developing moral values like caring, loving, respecting and honest attitude.
The students were sensitized to avoid unethical means which lead them to nowhere, further instilling a responsible attitude towards themselves, parents, teachers, friends and the school. Thus, the prime emphasis was to develop them into a responsible student and a good human being.
Apart from this, the training session also laid emphasis upon developing effective public speaking skills among students as one of the most important competencies, which helps them to be more expressive. The session was purposely designed to give them a public platform to express their ideas, thoughts, feelings and viewpoints publicly to boost up their confidence level which was an indirect approach to motivate and encourage students to express in front of their schoolmates and teachers.
Students shared their feelings actively, freely and confessed publicly, which rekindled a hope that they themselves wanted to improve upon their shortcomings and want to lead a disciplined life. The enthusiastic response from the students and the spark for change in their eyes at the end of the training session was a firm confirmation that the objective of the training program was well accomplished.
