Attitudes and Values

Dear Students,

We are happy that as our Student community you have taken the initiative to offer your perspectives to suggest, share, collaborate, and arrive at a consensus on ‘Values’ that you would like to see develop in yourselves through your school life at Arsha. This year the key values chosen are:

• honesty
• punctuality
• empathy
• respect
• accountability
• cleanliness

Your teachers have equally attempted to understand your needs and have offered you their inputs so that as an ALL school community we can equally own the Values we want to commit ourselves to as a learning community. We believe that through a shared responsibility each one of you will grow up to be responsible, positive citizens the nation is proud of.

Life Skills

An extended feature from our Attitudes and Values section is a theme called Life Skills. At Arsha your teachers have chosen various activities which are daily happenings in your school life so that you can actively engage, contribute and participate in them. This year your teachers have chosen three scenarios that they would like for you to participate in. They are:

• Morning assembly: In our school we take great pride in starting the day on a positive note through an inspiring Assembly gathering in your classrooms and ending your school Day with thoughts of gratitude towards your school community
• Segregation of waste and reduction of mixed waste generation at school during snack and lunch breaks: We are committed towards maintaining high standards in our Waste Segregation systems at school and reducing our generation of Mixed Waste.
• Creating and maintaining your classroom interiors to be attractive, inviting and inspiring for learning: taking ownership to maintain the ambience of your classroom environment so that it is always well maintained and attractive.

Your abilities to work as an individual or in a group towards these areas are the skills that you will be assessed on. Assessments as Life skills are also a requirement of the CBSE through the CCE learning formats and these will be termed in your report as:

• Thinking skills: capacity to problem solve the above tasks and identify strategies to implement them effectively
• Emotional skills: capacity to emotionally cope with positive criticism and feedback on how to continuously improve
• Social skills: capacity to socially get along with other group members and actively contribute towards the group
