ANNUAL REPORT

  Distinguished Personalities on and off the dais, Parents, Teachers and my dear children, a very warm welcome to each and every one of you to our Annual Day Celebration. It is with a sense of pride and extreme satisfaction I am presenting before you the Annual Report of the Year 2024-25. The Annual Report showcases the achievements and glories of our school, undoubtedly, but also makes us think deeply about our shortcomings. We strive to provide a nurturing environment that supports the growth and development of our students, fostering individuality, creativity, and holistic well-being. We set standards and goals for ourselves and strive to achieve them – be it in the area of academics, sports, discipline, leadership and more. Since its establishment in 2000, Vidyaniketan Public School has been committed to providing a well-rounded education that fosters the holistic development of our students. True to its name, Vidyaniketan - 'A Home of Knowledge' - nurtures the innate abilities of every child, providing a supportive environment that fosters growth and development. During the academic year 2004-05 our institution was affiliated to C.B.S.E. During the academic year 2010-11 the school had been upgraded to senior secondary (+2). Over the years, our school has successfully presented 18 batches of AISSE students, consistently achieving excellent results, The school sent its first batch to AISSE in the year 2006. The result was marvellous with cent percentage. The consequent batches augmented their seniors in better spirit. Now the thirteenth batch has come out in flying colours, 8 Students with full A1 in all subjects. Each year we holds the Annual Prize Distribution Ceremony to honour those of its students who have made the school proud with their brilliant efforts not only in the academic field but also in the co-curricular areas. Next, I would like to provide a brief snapshot of our school's curricular and co-curricular achievements during the academic year 2024-25.

  The School reopened on 3rd June 2024 with new hopes and joy. Our experienced teachers work together to make our teaching and learning effective. The teacher needs to play the role of facilitator of learning and helping students turn information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom. Schools need to be porous and transparent, able to connect teachers, students, parents and the community to the wealth of knowledge that exists in the world. When parents establish a relationship with teachers it helps children do well academically. Teachers welcome the opportunities to get to know parents. We have an Open House System in place, which helps the parents and teachers a lot. Open Houses meetings were conducted frequently. Apart from the performances in the curricular activities, we inspire our students to participate in co-scholastic activities because it gives them an extra edge and confidence to move ahead in the competitive world. Various Co-Curricular Activities are held under different Clubs to develop a child physically, morally, socially and mentally and to hone skills in co-scholastic areas. Regular Club Activities are held in which the students participate and display their calibre. The entire school is divided into four houses. Inter house competitions were held which included Dance, Music, Anchoring and what not which has helped us identify many aspiring students for the future world of performing arts.

  All the days of importance used to be celebrated in the School with great enthusiasm. Each and every celebration take our children to a different world of knowledge. On June 5th World Environment Day was celebrated by planting many herbs and plants in our school garden. On June 21st our students took part in International Yoga Day celebration Our PET teacher demonstrated different asanas and also taught them the importance of Yoga.

Thereafter, the cultural program began with Patriotic Song and speech by our Students During National Sports Day PET teacher gave a speech on importance of sports and our Students demonstrated different events. Onam, Bakrid and Christmas were also celebrated to inculcate harmony within our students with equal importance. Field trips are an integral part of the thematic approach. Students are given opportunity to visit different places. Such trips facilitate to internalize what they learn. Group work, projects, presentations, and experiences are part of our curriculum framework. In effect, children learn by doing. This in turn enriches independent thinking and inquisitive learning.

  Sports play a vital role in every student's life. The success of our students in sports bears testimony to the school’s endeavors in fostering sporting talent and nurturing our students' determination and skill to succeed. Our students participated in Vadakara sahodaya sports meet and

Many milestones have been achieved and many still have to be reached. We at Vidyaniketan will continue our unceasing efforts to mould the young minds into well balanced personalities with confidence and enthusiasm that reflect the high standards of our institution.

Now let me take this opportunity to thank all the well- wishers of Vidyaniketan family, Parents and the management of Vidyaniketan Public School for giving me all the support and cooperation in the functioning of the school.

Let me also thank God almighty for showering all the blessings upon my children. Thank You.
