A Battle Of Strength And Mettle Sports Day, an annual feature of the academic calendar, helps build sportsmanship and camaraderie in the students. It encourages the students to understand the importance of playing the game in the true spirit of it. Sports Day at VIS teaches – setting goals, being part of a team, confidence – that’s invaluable. It’s not about trophies and ribbons , it’s about BEING ON TIME for practices, ACCEPTING CHALLENGES and being fearful of the elements. It is important to taste defeat at times so that the win can be valued. The school glitters in the five house colours and competitors are lauded by the ever enthusiastic and encouraging spectators. It is a day when each and every student and teacher participates in some or the other competition and gives their best to uphold their house colour and flag. “Winners never quit and quitters never win. Sports do not build character they reveal it.”
Grandparents are popularly called as caregivers for the children in the family. They help the grandkids in their studies. In fact, they also help in their personal growth and development. Grandparents also inculcate moral values and good habits among their kids and grandkids. However, relationships between grandparents and grandchildren cannot be described in words. Do you know that we celebrate ‘National Grandparents Day’ on the 8th of September? Also, it is a secular holiday all over the world to honor the contributions of grandparents in our lives. The role of grandparents has become one of the most crucial in the family in which the children need emotional support apart from parenting.

- Student councils are a great way for students to take on leadership roles, promote the voice of the student body, solve problems and impact his or her community. Student councils are powerful leadership and learning opportunities. A council serves as the voice for an entire student body and actively works with teachers and advisors to promote a better learning environment.
- This is an excellent critical self-reflection that can really help students measure the roles that best fit them or even identify personal weaknesses they would like to shore up.
- In addition to boosting confidence, student councils improve communication skills. When a student chooses to run for student council, he or she must be able to speak publicly. Once elected, these individuals must also be comfortable speaking openly with other student officers — including problem-solving and accepting feedback.
- Student councils promote a sense of personal responsibility among students. Students running for student council are taking on leadership roles on behalf of the entire student body — he or she must then promote and uphold the values of the entire student body.
