It’s always boring to have Saturdays working at schools especially with loads of studies, children become exhausted and need a weekend break.
But the P. S. Senior Secondary School has come up with an idea of hosting Club activities as a part of Saturday programmes so that the students wouldn’t feel exhausted and it would be a great opportunity too to kindle one’s talents.
The principal of the school Ms.Lakshmi Srinivasan believes that having club activities in various fields would inculcate an interest among students and would bring out the potential within them. She says that they would not feel shy to face the people when they are exposed to certain activities like these.
The overall inauguration of club activities was held on July 31, 2008 by Ms.Sumathi, an advocate who writes for the Tamil magazine, Tughlak.
The clubs inaugurated are – Journalism, Quiz, Histrionics (Dramatics), Debate or public speaking. The remaining clubs Eco club,arts & craft,Web design & animation, biology, Physics and chemistry will be inaugurated next week.
The first sessions of the clubs were held on Saturday, August 2.
Mr.Vincent D Souza, Editor, Mylapore Times and Adyar Times newspapers, inaugurated the journalism club. He gave tips on journalism, writing articles for newspapers and websites exclusively for children.
The histrionics club was inaugurated by Manasi Subramanian, an Alumnus of the school who ‘eradicated’ stage fear among the students who have opted for this club and gave tips on improving and modulation of voice.
The Quiz Club was inaugurated by the Quiz Foundation Of India. The Maths Club will be set on by Mr. Rajesh, an expert in non routine Maths, The debate club was taken on by Dhruv and Anya Thomas, 12th std. students of the school.
