Principal's Reflections

Principal’s Reflections

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।

सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद् दुःखभाग्भवेत्।।

“May all be happy; May all be free from infirmities;

May all see good; May none partake of suffering.”

 

An ecstasy of bliss and effusive rapture is pouring through me while extending and articulating my immense, overwhelming and most sincere gratitude to my students, parents, staff members and all those who lent us a helping hand with the execution of online classes in such an elegant, sublime and splendid manner. Please accept my heartiest congratulations, unreserved compliments and warmest felicitations on having achieved the imponderables constantly keeping your spirits up.

It can’t be gainsaid that the massive catastrophe of COVID-19 is unfathomable and excruciating. But seen in the temper of never wasting a good crisis, COVID-19 represents an opportunity to rethink education in a fairly radical fashion. The rethinking should not be about improving but about improvising schooling and should focus on the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘where’ of learning.

Schools have undergone transformation to some sort of hybrid model. In the midst of adversity and limited training, educators have valiantly risen to the occasion like they always have. With the proper safety measures in place, students have been welcomed back into classrooms. For many, this was desperately needed as the distractions and challenges at home impacted their learning. They wanted and needed their teachers. I would also asseverate that the adults felt the same about them.

Further, social distancing does place an added stress on teachers. The good news is that many effective practices that were used before the pandemic have just as much value, if not more, in the current backdrop. Engaging learners and ensuring they are all actively involved during direct instruction will mitigate off-task behavior while setting the stage for increased motivation.

I hope that this blog gives you a glimpse of life at DPS Bulandshahr, but please do come and see for yourselves- we will be delighted to welcome you.

Stay safe, everyone, and keep the great work. Your efforts are appreciated.

 

 

With the best wishes

Principal’s Welcome

 

Dear parents, teachers, learners and all esteemed stakeholders,

I perceive inconceivable gratification in proffering you all a sizzling welcome to DPS Bulandshahr, and I am particularly thrilled to be part of the School at this momentous juncture in its development.

The year 2020 has been a real roller coaster of tumult, turmoil, perturbation and discombobulation. So, to signalize the cessation of this term – I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been that reassuring voice for many of us, staff or student, when we had a wobble. Thank you to everyone who has unselfishly thrown themselves into functions and positions which may not be in their job description but provided much needed steadfastness to colleagues and students. Thank you to ---well, everybody. We outmaneuvered it. We prevailed against it. And we are still here. I am positively triumphant in being among you.  

Yes, there is a possible scenario to explore a prospect to construct a better world but it will entail concerted endeavor, scrupulous cogitation and reminiscence of lessons from the ongoing predicament.  The all-round, inclusive education on offer at DPS Bulandshahr has always been a core component of DPS Bulandshahr’s ethos, and is focused on bringing out the very best in every pupil. I am looking forward to developing this still further over the coming years.

We hold noble ideals and high expectations at DPS Bulandshahr and this exhorts and impassions our pupils to believe in themselves to be inquisitive, to be resilient and to show ambition both in and out of the classroom. Our pupils feel happy and valued, which gives them the confidence, enthusiasm and social awareness for life-long learning needed to succeed in a fast changing world.

Deference to tradition and uninhibitedness to innovation are valued and we encourage our pupils to work with, and learn from each other, whilst also showing valor to stand up for what they believe. I am confident that we can challenge and develop all those who come to us at whatever age, stretching the most able whilst supporting those who need a helping hand.

I contemplate that you will find our blog helpful and that it will give you a sense of the values that our school stands for, as well as offering an insight into the great beauty and scale of our campus and buildings. We do anticipate that you will come and see for yourself what DPS Bulandshahr does each and every day, and find out what it could do for your child too.

I wish you a safe, healthy and prosperous 2021.
