NOVEMBER - 2025

Welcome to November - 2025 Edition Of  SSVK  Newsletter

Our school celebrated Children’s Day with great joy and enthusiasm. The entire program was memorable and filled with delightful moments. 

The day began with a community breakfast, where students enjoyed their meal together with their respective class teachers. This togetherness created a warm and friendly atmosphere, strengthening the bond between teachers and students. 

In the afternoon, class teachers conducted various fun-filled activities for the students. These activities helped the children showcase their talents, creativity, and teamwork. The students actively participated and made the celebration lively and enjoyable. 

Overall, it was a wonderful celebration that brought smiles to every child’s face and created beautiful memories for all. 

Every day brings a new learning experience, but staying consistently motivated to learn can sometimes be a challenge. Keeping this in mind, our teachers introduced a new idea of holding a competition once every two weeks during the morning assembly. These competitions are designed not only to help students learn but also to make the process fun and engaging.

The first competition in this series was the Turn Coat Competition. Participants were expected to persuade the audience with strong arguments and logical reasoning, speaking both for and against the motion with equal conviction. The event turned out to be truly exciting. The topics, along with the enthusiastic participants, brought great energy to the competition. We witnessed some exceptional performances, making it a wholesome and memorable experience. 

Two weeks later, we continued the series with the Spell Bee Competition. The focus this time was on vocabulary learned by students across various subjects in their respective grades. It was a tough battle between students of Class 7A and Class 8A, but in the end, the participants from 7A emerged as the winners. 

On the occasion of Kanakadasa Jayanthi, our school celebrated the event with respect and devotion on November 8. The program was organized to remember and honour the significant contribution of Sri Kanakadasa to Dasa Sahitya and Kannada literature. 

As part of the celebration, our teacher delivered an informative and inspiring session about Kanakadasa’s life and works. Students were introduced to his deep devotion, simplicity, and his unique way of conveying spiritual messages through songs. The teacher also explained the essence of “Ramadhana Charitre,” one of his notable works, highlighting its message of devotion, moral values, and the importance of righteousness in life. 

The event was meaningful and educational, reminding everyone of the timeless value of Kanakadasa’s contributions. 

Under the Seva Project initiative of EFIL, an impactful SAP – Social Action Project is being conducted across 750 schools with the aim of nurturing socially responsible and action-oriented students. As part of this program, students are encouraged to observe real-life issues in their surroundings and design meaningful solutions for community development. 

We are proud to announce that our School SAP Champs and Winners, Divya Shree and Bhavya Shree, represented our school with exceptional dedication and confidence. They presented their SAP project titled “Rural and Urban Job Creation”, focusing on bridging the employment gap between rural and urban areas. Their project highlighted innovative ideas, practical approaches, and sustainable solutions to empower individuals through skill development and job opportunities. 

Their noteworthy efforts, clarity of presentation, and commitment to social change were highly appreciated by the evaluators. Their achievement stands as a testimony to our school’s continuous encouragement towards building socially aware and responsible young citizens. 

We congratulate Divya Shree and Bhavya Shree for bringing laurels to our school and inspiring many others to contribute meaningfully to society. 

As part of the Class 8 Science syllabus chapter “Health: The Ultimate Treasure,” a special health awareness session was conducted for students of Class 8A and 8B. Dr. Sujatha, the Community Resource Person from the Karnataka State AYUSH Clinic, Ragihalli branch, facilitated the session. 

Dr. Sujatha began by introducing the concept of health and emphasised the idea of balance as the foundation of Ayurveda. She discussed the benefits of healthy eating and highlighted the importance of maintaining an ideal Dincharya (daily routine) and Ritucharya (seasonal routine) for overall well-being.

The session concluded with an engaging question-and-answer interaction, where students clarified their doubts and shared their thoughts.

On the occasion of Constitution Day, a special assembly was organized in our school to honor the guiding principles of our nation. The students of Class 8B took charge of the assembly and presented an informative and meaningful programme. 

To begin with, a short speech was delivered highlighting the significance of the Indian Constitution and the values it upholds. This was followed by an interactive Constitution Quiz, where students enthusiastically participated by answering questions related to fundamental rights, duties, and the making of the Constitution.

The program concluded with a dignified recitation of the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, reaffirming our commitment to justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. The celebration served as a reminder of our responsibility as proud citizens of India and helped students understand the importance of our constitutional values.
