P5 Award Ceremony he school assembly held on
22nd March 2016 to reward
the success of students during
Ttheir years in Junior School will
be permanently and beautifully etched
in my memory. The award function was
an overwhelming experience, a moment
of great pride when my son, Reyan
received laurels for his achievements at
school. I realized he had redefined my
identity as ‘Reyan Bangia’s mother’. I
feel indebted to the school for the strong
foundation provided to my child in these
important formative years. I am sure
that in keeping with the true RSJMS
spirit, he will continue to strive for
excellence in Senior School as well. My
heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to
the Headmistress Mrs. Manju Rajput and
teachers, who supported, motivated and
guided Reyan throughout and made his
journey in Junior School so memorable.
Thank you RSJMS!

Nursery and KG
Orientation Programme
2016-17
I
remember myself as an anxious new parent, attending the parents’
orientation programme in RSJMS 7 years ago, as my elder daughter was
about to start her academic journey. I was a bunch of nerves initially,
but soon eased into the idea of sending my precious child into a new
environment. As the programme progressed, all my worries were well taken care
of and I was assured that she was going to be in good hands. This time around,
while attending the same for my younger one, I entered the premises of the
school as a confident parent who knew that RSJMS is the only school where I’d
send my kids.
This year, the Orientation Programme for Nursery and KG for the session
2016-17 was held on 8th April ‘16 in the D.D Auditorium. The parents started
coming in at the scheduled time. Some nostalgic while entering their alma
mater, some as seasoned parents – coming for their second child and some eager
to see and feel the environment of the new school where they were to going to
send a piece of their heart.
A warm welcome was accorded to the parents, followed by an insightful
address by the Headmistress Mrs. Manju Rajput. She apprised them of the
visions, goals and teaching methodology of the school. Slowly, the parents
relaxed and the worried look on their faces was replaced by a happy and
contented one.
A short film, ‘A School for All Seasons’ was shown. It brought back memories
for many and showed a glimpse into the future to others. They got a chance
to peep through the windows of history and understand the philosophy of this
prestigious institution. Clippings of the interviews of famous and successful
alumni of the school, in which they shared their own experiences as a student,
were shown. It was indeed a proud moment for all of us!
In the end, parents were introduced to the teachers of Nursery and KG and
they were asked to have a look at their children’s respective class rooms where
orientation kits were hand over to all of them. All the parents were satisfied by
the end of it and looked forward to the day their children were going to walk
into the portals of RSJMS.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.”
orld Dance Day is celebrated every year at RSJMS under
the aegis of SPIC MACAY by inviting a leading personality
from the world of dance for a lecture – demonstration.
WFounded by a Modernite -Dr. Kiran Seth, SPIC MACAY is
an endeavour to educate the youth and familiarize them with the rich
Indian culture and heritage through dance, music, yoga and meditation.
SPIC MACAY programmes are hosted by schools and colleges all over
India.
To celebrate and promote the World Dance Day 2016, Ms. Geeta
Mahalik was invited to explain the nuances of the Odissi style of
dancing. A proud recipient of the Sangeet Natak
Akademi Award and the Odisha State Natak
World Dance Day 2016 Akademi Award, Geetaji is one of the outstanding
exponents of Odissi dance in India today. In 2014,
the Government of India honoured her with the
Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, for
her services to the field of art and culture.
The show commenced with lighting of the traditional lamp by
Smt. Geeta ji and the Headmistress Ms. Manju Rajput in the back
drop of Sanskrit shlokas rendered by the school choir. Thereafter, the
Headmistress presented Geetaji and her accompanying artists with a
plant- a sign of life and continuity. As the lecture demonstration began,
Geetaji enthralled the young audience with her graceful movements
and dance style. She explained the origin of Odissi dance in the great
Jagannath temple by Maharees (dancing girls) in front of deities-Lord
Krishna, his elder brother Balram and their sister Subhadra while
Gotipuas – men dressed as Krishna and Radha danced outside the temple.
Geetaji began her performance with Manglacharan -Trikhandi and
Bhoomi Pranaam as an ode to Gurus and Mother Earth. Next was Pallavi,
a pure dance based on Raag Mukharee. There was lots of excitement
in the audience when she invited the P5 students, learning any form of
classical dance at home, on to the stage to dance with her on Ektaal.
The group dance proved to be an amalgamation of different dance forms
performed to the beats of Ektaal. She culminated her performance with
Abhinay -an integral part of any dance form. She first depicted the Nava
Rasas followed by a bhajan wherein Lord Krishna
questions his mother Yashoda, about the difference
of skin colour between him and his brother, Baldau.
Next was Kaliadaman where Lord Krishna depicts
his Viraat Roop as-Lord Vishnu the Srishtikarta.
Towards the end, Geetaji educated the children
on Swachch Bharat Abhiyaan, the nation wide
initiative launched by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi. The audience was so enthralled by her
performance that they couldn’t stop clapping. They
were really spellbound! The Headmistress presented
Geetaji and her accompanying artists with a small
token of appreciation. The musical morning was
indeed a good start to a great day!

competition for P4 and P5. I have been
Oalways interested in music so I decided
to participate in it. After clearing the preliminary
round, I practised day and night for the final
round. I was nervous but confident too and then
we were asked to choose one category out of two
genres of music- classical and semi classical and I
chose classical music. There were two esteemed
judges to judge our singing. The parents of the
participants had also gathered in the auditorium.
The competition began and the participants
started singing one by one. I was the last one
to sing and the moment of the final result came
soon. The judges announced the result. I started
jumping with joy when I heard my name as the
‘2nd position winner’. I was very happy and full

very hard to achieve good results. There were lots of rehearsals. And then
came the day of the competition. I was very nervous. I sat down between
Dhar ma’am and Suresh sir and they both played for me. When I finished
singing, I thought that everyone had sung better than me. But when the
result came, I was surprised to know that I had come first.
Dhaval Gupta, P4 H
hen my daughter came and told me that she would be taking
part in the final round of the music competition there was
a wave of happiness that spread like fire through the whole
Whouse. Everyone was excited and wanted to help her in the
preparation for the competition. From that day onwards, the preparation
began and Vidhi put her heart and soul into it. The night before the
contest, I told her that the competition would be tough and what truly
mattered was not the prize but the participation and satisfaction of doing
one’s best. The next day, as the competition proceeded it seemed like
everyone had sung so beautifully that if I would have been given the duty
to make a decision, I would have failed in doing so. Vidhi too gave her
best but predicting anything seemed impossible. Then, finally the prize
distribution ceremony began and all prizes besides the 1st prize were called
out. My heart skipped a beat when the first place winner’s name was
called out and it turned out to be: Vidhi Sinha, P5 F. Oh! What joy it was
to see her running to the stage, smiling, and receive the reward of her hard
work. It was truly a fabulous and enjoyable day.

his year, I was excited to get a circular for the intra school dance
competition. Like last year, we first went through a selection
round. Around 23 of us from P5 were selected for the finals
Tafter an audition. I was very happy to be selected as one of the
finalists. 22nd April was the date for the final competition for P4 and P5.
My dance guru made me practice on a particular tarana piece in kathak.
My performance was for around four minutes and I practised hard to
perfect the steps. The morning of the competition was full of excitement.
I got up early and was helped by my mother to put on the makeup,
jewellery and costume. The costumes are unique to each form of classical
dance. At the beginning of the show, our dance teacher and emcee of
the programme, Sudha ma’am, welcomed everyone present to watch the
show. The participants performed different classical dance forms such as
Kathak, Odissi, Bharatnatyam and Chaau. I loved being on the stage and
gave my best. I also enjoyed seeing the other contestants and was happy
to see my friends perform. Each dancer had a distinct style and there was
so much to learn about various classical dance forms. At the end of our
performances, we were each given a book and a certificate of participation.
Thereafter, the judges announced the names of the winners and even
though I did not win a prize, I loved being a part of the show.

love to dance and practised hard for my dance competition. It
was very challenging as I was also working hard for my music
competition in the days before. Unfortunately, I suffered an injury
I some days before the contest but I was determined to participate
just
and worked hard to perform well. It gave me so much joy to dance on
the stage. I was not expecting any prize as I had prepared in a very
short time. Both Akanksha ma’am and Sudha ma’am encouraged me to
participate for which I am so thankful. I was so happy and honoured to
win the third prize. My Nana, who is 88 years old, came to watch my
performance with my parents and bless me. I was overjoyed to have won
prizes in both vocal music and dance competitions. These intra school
competitions have been a huge learning experience for me. They have
inspired me to practise even harder and make my school and teachers
truly proud of me. Thank you RSJMS!
Aneesha Narain, P4 C
he theme of the dance competition was Indian Classical, my
dance teacher chose to teach me chhau, a classical dance with
origins in the Indian states of Odisha, Jharkhand and West
TBengal. The form of Chhau that I learnt was Mayurbhanj
Chhau. Our teachers in school Sudha ma’am and Akanksha ma’am guided
me and the other participants and helped us in perfecting our steps.
On the day of the final competition, I was a bit nervous. In school, we
all assembled backstage. Even though I was nervous, I enjoyed myself
thoroughly and gave my best performance.
At the end of our performance, each one of us was given a book and
a certificate of participation. Although I do not win any prize, I was very
happy to be a part of the show. The whole experience was very enriching
and a great learning platform for me.

t is customary for the members of the RSJMS Parent Teacher
Association to put up a variety programme for the teachers
of the school on September 5, the Teachers’ Day. The annual
Ievent organized, after school hours, has evolved into a time of
camaraderie and bonding as the PTA comes up with new and innovative
ideas to reinvent it every time. This year too, the PTA organized a
wonderful show which was graced by the presence of Dr. Kiran Datar,
Chairperson, RSJMS and the Headmistress Mrs. Manju Rajput. Teachers,
the guests of the show, were given a warm traditional welcome as they
entered the D.D. Auditorium. Several exciting games turned out to be
the highlight and kept up the tempo throughout the event. The fun
games saw the usually calm and composed teachers running to collect
the items listed in the games, struggling with locks and keys, trying
to burst each other’s balloon apart from singing and dancing merrily.
This high voltage action was followed by a heart -warming group
song by the PTA members. The fun filled programme was appreciated
by all present. It ended with a delicious lunch for everyone. And yes,

e were all very excited when we were told that the Parent
Teacher Association puts up an entertainment programme for
teachers on Teachers’ Day. We began brainstorming and each
Wone of us came up with new and interesting ideas to make this
event a memorable one. Finally, we decided to play a series of fun games
with the teachers to bring out the little child in them and entertain them at
the same time. We had games like the Wallet Game (in which the teachers
searched their wallets for a series of notes), the Foil Paper Game (where
our teachers left all of us in awe as they adorned their respective partners
creatively with foil). We had thought that our Lock and Key Game would
prove to be a test of nerves for the teachers but they were so quick that we
were totally stumped. The Balloon Game for the sports teachers left everyone
rolling with laughter as they tried to burst each other’s balloon while saving
their own. And finally, the Number Dance Game turned out to be the icing
on the cake. In this game, the teachers were asked to break into groups of
different numbers and it was so much fun that the whole D.D. Hall was
resounding with laughter.
We had also put up a photo booth for the teachers where they could pick
up any placard of their choice and get their pictures clicked. And last but not
the least, was a speech followed by a gratitude song that we all sang with
a lot of enthusiasm to express our appreciation for the teachers. It was a
moment of pride for us when Dr. Kiran Datar, Chairperson, RSJMS and the
Headmistress Mrs. Manju Rajput applauded our efforts. The memories of this
year’s Teachers’ Day Celebration will always remain etched in our minds.

Ms. Amrita Vaid Singh of a spectacular musical extravaganza titled ‘...Full Circle’. As homage
Ms. Shina Gupta to the Founder Father of the School, Lala Raghubir Singh, the show
Ms. Ritika Moza celebrated the life and works of the literary genius of all time- William
Shakespeare. Universally regarded as the foremost writer, dramatist
Costumes and poet of the English language, the Great Bard of Avon needs no

ust as the date of the Founder’s Day Function was announced-
there was visible excitement in the school. And when we realized
that the play was to be about Shakespeare- all of us were
Jwondering what dId we know about him. But by the time we
finished with it, we were all encyclopedias on Shakespeare’s works- The
Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra-yes we
knew all his plays and sonnets.
First, the auditions started in all seriousness. Soon the picture became
clear. My first reaction on being selected for the role of the Great Bard
of Avon was: Shakespeare, who? Me?
Then started the learning of script and the practices. What fun!
Everywhere there was a buzz! Then began our visits to Modern School,
Barakhamba Road. Getting packed into buses, rehearsals, stay backs
and trying of costumes-well , well, well - it was a fun journey. I made
many new friends too. Finally, we presented our show’... Full Circle’ on
16th September’16. Oh! There were butterflies in the stomach! But our
teachers had trained us so well that all the butterflies vanished and we
presented an excellent show that received a standing ovation. What a
learning experience it turned out to be!

to bring about a positive change. Shri Ashok Pratap Singh, President,
BoT, Modern Schools, urged the parents present in the gathering to
work in tandem with teachers for the allround development of children.
In her address, the Headmistress Mrs. Manju Rajput outlined the
glorious history and achievements of Modern School; reiterating that
the best is yet to come.
When curtains drew apart for the play, they revealed Shakespeare,
wandering on the streets of present day London, astounded to find that
he was still popular and idolised by people. As the city celebrates his
400th death anniversary, he meets and observes Londoners; encountering
incidents that remind him about similar situations in his own plays.
He is overwhelmed on realizing that mankind and its philosophies have
remained the same through centuries. At the end, he is completely
at peace to find the wheel coming a full circle. In the backdrop of
picturesque stage sets made by the creative RSJMS art department, the
period drama drew upon the seminal works of poetry and play penned
down by the Immortal Bard to recreate the magic of Romeo and Juliet,
King Henry V, The Merchant of Venice and Antony & Cleopatra. The
musical show featured a wide variety of entertaining dances; ranging
from traditional ball room dance to modern hip-hop. Last but not the
least, the entire show was supported by a talented choir of nine P3-
P5 students who stringed the various acts together beautifully. Indeed,
the RSJMS in-house musical production ‘.. Full Circle’ took all present
through a wondrous time travel to visit the ever enchanting worlds
created by William Shakespeare.
