THE ADITYA BIRLA PUBLIC SCHOOL, GULBARGA

SCHOOL ACTION PLAN – April 2016–to March 2017

The Action Plan evolved out of Principal‘s workshop held at Gyanodaya from December 21-23, 2015 is based on

the thought that Learning is an outcome of constructive learning experiences. It‘s more about overall development

of skills, honing talent and grooming future leaders. Learning by rote cannot lead to academic excellence. The need

of the hour is to develop Higher Order Thinking Skills. The adoption of high-tech driven technologies in education

can bridge the gap between the modern and the traditional practice of teaching. Digital-learning tools can make

learning experiences interesting and valuable. The main focus of our initiative is the promotion of use of values and

skills along with Information Technology. With an all-inclusive curriculum, student focused learning environment

we aim to provide opportunities for enrichment in the fields of academics, sports and fine arts and help students

grow in a holistic way.

World Cancer Day A truly global event taking place every year on 4 February, World Cancer Day unites the

world‘s population in the fight against cancer. It aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising

awareness and education about the disease, pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action.

World Mother Tongue Day – The mother tongue is part of a child‘s personal, social and cultural identity.The

mother tongue is an indispensable instrument for the development of intellectual, physical and moral aspects of

education. Habits, conducts, values, virtues, customs and beliefs are all shaped through the mother tongue. Needless

to say, weakness in the mother tongue means a paralysis of all thought and power of expression.We celebrate

mother tongue day to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by the people. Language is the

most powerful instrument of preserving and developing our heritage.

Farewell to Class XII –Farewell is another way of saying good-bye and wishing the senior students good luck for a

bright and prosperous career ahead. When juniors bid farewell to the seniors, a bond of friendship is established and

school memories become significant. It brings together the whole school teaching fraternity that shared a common

ideology in shaping the overall personality of the students. A lot of learning and exchange of values and good

feelings take place which goes a long way in maintaining a positive relationship and building a positive climate in

the school.
