Message of CTPS - A Happy Diwali & A Healthy Diwali

Students and teachers of CT Public School have decided to celebrate Diwali in a HEALTHY way this year. Due to adulteration of sweets and other food products, everybody is in doldrums these days – should we consume ‘Mithai’ or not? Thus CT Public School has understood its responsibility as an educational institution and a unique activity was held today to spread awareness about consumption of Mithais.

So, what’s the big idea? Let us make sweets at home and be sure of what we are eating. The students of CT Public School were today seen enthusiastically involved in making Walnut laddoos with the help of their teachers. After washing hands, wearing gloves and caps, children of primary classes did the pre-preparation of the sweets. Then under the able guidance of Co-ordinator Mrs. Manju Virk and class teachers, the children mixed the ingredients and rolled the ‘Mithai’ into shape. It turned out to be a delicacy! Each student relished the sweets and promised to take the message home that we should be ware of adulterated food, specially sweets during festival season.

Students also made Diwali cards for their parents and carried them home along with the sweets and diyas.

All the teachers also wished a Happy and Prosperous Diwali to Co-Chairperson Mrs. Parminder Kaur Channi and Principal Mrs. Lakhvinder Kaur. The Principal of the school addressed the students and advised them to enjoy Diwali safely. She spoke about value of good health and thus need of avoiding consumption of adulterated food items. Madam Principal guided the children to celebrate the festival of lights without bursting crackers. If at all they do, they can arrange a community celebration.

Co-Chairperson Mrs. Parminder Kaur Channi was happy to see the enthusiasm of the students as they were actively involved in the activity. She wished a Happy Diwali to all present.

Students of CT Public School Celebrate World Food Day by Sharing

As the world celebrates the Food Day, there are millions that are still starving. It is ironical that while crores are spent by government to buy hi tech. weapons, fighter air crafts, missiles etc. no one pays attention to food shortage. There are still others who are lucky to have good food like in most developed nations but they waste food like anything. On one hand there is food shortage while on other hand people waste it.

Students of CT Public School were sensitized about food problems by their teachers today. In a unique activity, students learnt to share food with the needy and deprived. A team of students visited nearby areas and motivated people to change their attitude of doubting and to start sharing and donating food to the needy.

The Principal of the school, Mrs. Lakhvinder Kaur said, “Even our religions give us the message of sharing with those who don’t have. So we at CTPS want to inculcate good values in our students. Food is the basic necessity and it is a shame that millions are starving and dying of hunger at a juncture where man is ready to find life on moon.”

The Chairman of CT Edu. Society, S Charanjit Singh Channi asked all students and teachers not to waste food but to share with the needy.

Hostel Students of CT Public School Trained in Disaster Mangement

Be it Tsunami, an earthquake, a tragic fire, a building collapsing or floods - there is always loss of life. Disasters have always caught man unawares. After any major disaster people discuss what should be the safety measures but soon the debate dies down.

CT Public School has taken an initiative to train its students in DISASTER MANAGEMENT so that they can be of help to the society. The drill was held at the Hostel where students from India and abroad reside. Mrs. Anuradha Sharma, H.O.D Social Science guided students that panic in such situations creates maximum problems. So, she gave tips on how not to loose the cool and also provided practical training for rescue work.

Following points were stressed:

· In case of fire, one should not run as it will aggravate the fire. Roll on the ground to extinguish the fire. If you are a rescue worker and you have a blanket, wrap it tightly around the person to extinguish the fire.

· In a room filled with smoke, one should sit at a low level to be able to breathe.

· Use of sand and water for fire extinguishing.

· Making of Human Stretchers was explained and demonstrated to the students.

· Students were also trained in the use of fire extinguishers.

The students were told that they should always take safety precautions so that mishaps can be avoided. Students were very much involved in the Disaster Management Drill and promised to be useful citizens for the society. Anamika, a student of 10th std. said,” I feel really responsible and if need be I can now handle any situation with all this information given to us.”

Mrs. Lakhvinder Kaur, Principal of CT Public School said,” I want that all my students should be able to manage in case they face a disaster. From time to time we at CT Public School will educate the students in such practical issues.”

‘Halloween’ Celebrated by NRI Students of CT Public School

Halloween, also called All Hallows Eve or All saints Eve is a popular festival of the West which is celebrated on 31st October annually. It is associated with black and orange colours with symbols like ‘Jack-o-lantern’ and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires etc. just before the All Saints Day.

Halloween was celebrated by NRI students of CT Public School today. Students wore ghost masks, cut pumpkins into lanterns and lit candles in them. A ghost costume party was held at the Hostel and all the kids sang “trick or treat” and collected lots of candies.

In olden times Celts thought that on this day the difference between the other world and this world becomes very thin and thus started the tradition of wearing ghost masks to ward off the evil spirits.

Principal, Mrs. Lakhvinder Kaur said, “CT Public School is a school that provides Global Education to Indian as well as NRI students. We celebrate all festivals such as Diwali, Guruparab and Christmas. This year our students have enjoyed Halloween and learnt what its relevance is. I am glad that we are bringing the East and the West together.”
