THE POWER OF MINDFULNESS; WHAT YOU PRACTICE GROWS STRONGER

As a culmination of the first two months of an excellent scholastic and co-scholastic rigour and at the threshold of the summer vacation, a Capacity Building Workshop was conducted under the leadership and guidance of the school’s principal Ms Anuradha Handa. This workshop was attended by the entire staff in the Conference Hall of the school on 31st May 2024. The workshop was based on the principle of mindfulness and consisted of agendas which included the spotlight on the dynamic Newsletter for all the wings, the celebration- worthy board result, information about the academic audit and macro-details of the same, code of conduct and a session on the importance of  self-care and self-love.

The staff was taken through the micro-details of the outstanding board result of the school and the subject-spectrums were shared. The Newsletter, aptly titled ‘Spotlight#Goenka’ was introduced and further shared with the stakeholders. The minutely designed Newsletters covered all the major and minor innovative events, ideas and expressions, wing-wise, of the Goenkan grandeur. In order to continue keeping the teaching-learning process as student-centric, the objectives and needs of the academic audit to be conducted in the month of July were discussed and shared. This was accompanied by the declaration of the audit result of the session gone by. A

s part of the Goenkan culture, the code of conduct for the teachers was reiterated along with a focus on the teaching-learning being parallel to the needs of the students. Linking this idea to mindfulness, an insightful video was run which lay stress on acceptance of self, meditative living and self-love. This sharing of thought laid the foundation for spending the vacation on an elevated and mindful note for all the members of the Goenkan family present for the workshop.
