The counselor says…

Greetings!

Abraham Maslow when describing “ Hierarchy Of Needs”, believed that most of the social problems stemmed from basic needs or need for belongingness not being met. Everyone needs to belong to a group that accepts them; it gives a sense of security, and nurtures self- esteem. Being in a group always helps multifold.

As students when you start coming to school you develop friendship, teachers come in your association; you become a member of a prestigious institution. As a part of the institution you develop skills specific to collaborative efforts to tackle more complex problems than one could, all by them. Task completed in groups, increases compliance, efficiency, approval, creativity and risk taking. When in-group, you share responsibilities and hence feeling of security is more. For this you keep your communication to the optimum level, and it enhances self-esteem, which transmits in you a feeling of self-worth. Group should represent your constructive power and your association leads to goal achievement. Security, status, self-esteem gives you confidence. As a confident individual you face life, as you are sure about your actions and make the right decisions. LIFE SEEMS GOOD.

BUT you need to be careful with your behavior and use of appropriate language because excessive belief in our abilities at times leads to arrogant behavior, arrogant people become boastful about their achievements overlooking the fact that one can be incorrect and tend to demean others. A confident person realizes his self – worth, is appropriately conscious in his decisions, words or actions and is more sensitive towards opinions and feelings of others.

Through this column we wish to tell, that the language you all use in school campus or outside reflects your own image. Let it be powerful, so that it wins the trust of other. Let it not convey destruction and dismal.

Being students of a very prestigious school you must feel proud. Let your actions, words and behavior leave an indelible mark in other’s minds.

Be wary of the thin line between being confident and overconfident. You are your own messenger. Create good vibes around you and see the same return to you. As students you are all learners – academics, vocation, sports and building a good conduct should be your priority. To flourish in life develop good communication skills – The future is yours – You are the master – decide how you want it to be!!!

Because the future is not something we enter – it is something we create.

“The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.” – Nathaniel Branden

Based on the idea to invoke social awareness and make it a learning process for all, while we carry the mission and vision of our founders, every year the Awareness week is a series of activities carried across our branches. The socially relevant topic for this year was...

Wrong Is Wrong Even If Everyone Is Doing It Right Is Right Even If No One Is Doing It Take Your Stand!!

The event flag – started on 18th July with the unveiling of the theme for the year. Each subsequent day witnessed a special assembly propelling the students to stand for the right and act in accordance with it. This learning-awakening week had multitude of activities for all classes of playgroup to XII Performance through drama, prose and poetry, successfully drove home the need and importance for being Righteous

The week-long program culminated on 25th July by paying homage to our founders through prayers. For Public awareness, the students of classes IX and XI had put up an impact full and energetic street play at different locations across the city, resonating the message-

“Stand for what is right, even if it means Standing Alone”.

We continue to march forward taking the learning to the heart & mind, under our wings.

Founders’ Day.

This year too on this pious occasion, Spring Dale family paid homage and their sincere gratitude to the founders of the institutions, Sir and Ma'am Sood, at all the three “Karm Bhumis”, the three branches of the Institution.

‘The Unstoppables’ not just a word but an attitude with all Spring Dale ’ians.

Nature is an inspiration, which guides us to keep progressing and changing. The rising sun, the cycle of seasons, the continuously ticking clock, the incessant flow of rivers all teach us to be unstoppable and so was our theme for the annual function this year 2022-23, celebrated on December 5, at K.

The beautifully coordinated drills represented the changing seasons. The flowers representing the summers, the Umbrella showing Monsoon seasons and the peppy drill in red and white along with the jingle of Santa Claus depicted the advent of another new year and the continuity there after. Himadari tung and Teri mitti mein miljawa was a beautiful chorography showing valor and courage which is necessary for progress. The progress and prosperity of life is a combination of teamwork, cooperation, sharing and being in tandem with nature. The poignantly presented pyramid coordinated with the wheel of time, a testimony that time never stops and so don’t we. The WOW factor of the program was the articulately worded song rahenga the zestful races of the various groups and cheered by the audience.
