Student Speak th
Aparna World School started on16 March, 2015. A day before the school opened I was excited that I was going to a new school and it was a day boarding school where the me was 7:00am to 4:00pm. When I went to the school I was surprised because it was so different from our previous school. In the class I saw that the teachers were talking politely with the children. And I saw the classrooms were big and I made some new friends. I also saw that the Principal Sir taught us which is not there in any school. The school playground was very huge. I also got a chance to be the Head Boy of the school. And from here in this school I know the meaning of educa on and the role of educa on in one’s life. With educa on we also do some extra ac vi es. In this school I saw that we keep our bags in the school shelves and also have a table as reader's corner. Aditya Sakunia (Head Boy) I am very glad to be the student of Aparna World School because the best part of the educa on system followed by the school is that it gives equal importance to the extracurricular ac vi es like dance, yoga, sport, art, karate, yoga etc. Here we also get chance to learn life style management. In this school we celebrate all the occasion and fes vals together with happiness and with lots of fun. We have dining facility, which is op onal. We have extended period also to clear doubts. In that period we get extra knowledge apart from book knowledge. Here we have opportuni es to par cipate in ac vi es and compe ons are open to all students. Teachers explain the chapters in detail. This is the best school in my life. Surbhi Singh (Head Girl)
