Student's Council Election

6th July 2023

Student Council Elections as reported by our teacher:

Student's Council Election was conducted on 6th July.  

We  conduct such elections every year to prepare our students of today as the leaders of tomorrow.

Being a contestant in the student council election means they’ll have to speak in front of all the other children. In turn, this gives them a chance to practice their social skill and communication skills

It also means undertaking the responsibilities of being a leader. Regardless of what position they get, other students will look up to them as leaders. If a student aims to run for the student council election, it motivates them to better their grades and build their image

Students go through different stages and processes similar to real-life political elections. Interested students first register themselves as candidates for the election. To earn the voters’ interest, they learn a lot about the effectiveness of campaigning and strategies that work best. Each student gets to vote for a candidate running for a specific post.   Then the votes are counted by a team of teachers and later verified by members of the previous student council. Finally, the results are declared, announcing the members of the new student council

Through student council election we make students think critically,  students learn to vote wisely not blindly. We believe that making students know the election process better through first-hand experience will prepare them for future leadership roles and future choices of leaders.

Best Discipline Student Award - A gift from Mrs Shobhana and Mr Vikram Hosangady

24th July 2019

Best Discipline Award

Mrs Shobhana and Mr Vikram Hosangady have chosen to give a prize money of Rs 30,000 to be given out to the 6 best disciplined students starting from Class VII to Class XII. Each student would be getting Rs 5000 each.They were keen to have this award instituted to cultivate and motivate discipline in our students. Besides academics,discipline plays a key role in achieving success was their line of thinking. 

Gurukulam teachers sat together and came up with the following criteria to choose the students for the awards :

1. Overall Behaviour 

2. Punctuality

3. Regularity/Attendance

4. Respect to the elders

5. Role model to other children.

6. Grooming

So far three students have received the award:

1. Vishwa and Arunkumar shared the first award. 

2. Shabana has won the award for the second term.

On July 24th we had Mrs Shobhana Hosangady visit our school and give the award to Shabhana. An interesting school assembly was lined up. A board dedicated to Shabana was put up with her photograph,art work of students to make her feel special along with notes from her friends on her achieving this award.Besides the usual prayers,thoughts for the day, Shabana who bagged the prize spoke about how she felt receiving the award and thanked Mrs Shobhana for the encouragement.A couple of friends also spoke on Shabana and what they liked about her. Shabana’s teachers were beaming with joy and spoke fondly of her.Finally Mrs Shobhana gave a heart warming speech motivating children by using Shabana as an example and stressing the importance of discipline as a bridge between accomplishments and goals.She also appealed to the children to have many of them compete  for this award.In short,  discipline must be a way of life at Gurukulam is what she conveyed.

Mrs Shobhana treated the school to some cake at lunch time and the children were delighted. According to the teachers there seem to be a positive rub off effect of the assembly with children telling each other next time they should bag the prize!

An air of positivity prevailed and Gurukulam was charged towards being a more disciplined bunch of students.

Thank you Usha, Farah and team Gurukulam for putting together this memorable morning at our school.

A loving thanks from Gurukulam to Mrs Shobhana and Mr Vikram Hosangady for having instituted this award!

A lingering thought to ponder and act on....
