Co-curricular Activities
Co-curricular activities help students develop skills beyond knowledge of subjects. These activities improve students’ learning experience at school, which improves their attendance at school. The normal curriculum can only go so far as to teach and educate students about academic theories. Our co-curricular activities like creative writing, drawing, painting, debating, quiz classes and National Day celebrations. They are especially important as they provide opportunities for students to work in teams, exercise leadership, and take initiatives themselves. These experiences bring social skills, intellectual skills, ethical values, personality progress, and character appeal in pupils.
Art & Craft
Art & Craft activities are important in childhood education as they help inculcate a sense of achievement and pride in children, boosting their self-confidence and self-esteem. Art & Craft contributes to the development of fine motor skills, dexterity & hand-eye coordination, self-expression and socializing skills. Also, it enhances creativity, sharpens skills of decision making,and enriches memory & visual learning. So, we consider Art & Craft as a subject rather than a co-
curricular activity.
Karate Classes
Navodaya Central School empathizes the need for self-defence as martial arts as an education system is of paramount importance for everyone, especially for kids. Also, Karate includes such essential features as balancing, coordination, concentration, discipline, and self-defence. So, we have set up a well-equipped and spacious Martial Art Studio where students are trained with karate and martial arts by experienced trainers.
Dance Classes
Dance is an entertaining health-promoting physical activity that many people across the world incorporate in their lifestyles today. It has aesthetic and symbolic values and is acknowledged by dance performers. Dance is a form of art that offers a plethora of benefits, including increased aerobic fitness, increased muscular strength, improved condition of heart and lungs, weight management, stronger bones & reduced risk of osteoporosis, and better coordination. Also, through dance, students learn team work, concentration, and improvisational skills. So, at Navodaya Central School, we have established a dedicated airy dance studio for learning and rehearsals.
Music Classes
Music is a means to connect and it is also considered to be one of the best ways to enter a ‘mind- wandering mode. Music stimulates brain development in kids and acts as a stress buster. Most of all, music teaches discipline and helps develop time-management skills. Thus, we make room for music among the other co-curricular activities.
Music is a source of solitude where children are able to silence their surrounds and immerse themselves in a creative environment. They learn various emotions and develop a sense of independence and interdependence.
We at Navodaya teach both vocal and instrumental music to the students, we have well qualified professionals to teach Guitar, violin, drums, tabla and keyboard etc.
Theatre Classes
Theatre Classes greatly influence all the aspects of students’ lives. They stimulate students’ creativity and thought process, and create awareness about various happenings and issues in the society. Also, they help students develop cognitive abilities that complement and study in other disciplines
