The early headmasters and teachers at Doon came from traditional British public schools, and the jargon introduced by them is still in use. For example, the weekly masters' meeting, started by Foot, is called Chambers, a term taken from Eton, and evening "prep" (the boarding-school equivalent of homework) is called toye-time, a term taken from Winchester College.[104][105] The school songs were deliberately chosen to include both Urdu poetry and Hindu bhajans as a way of emphasising Doon's secular ethos; similarly, the school prayers include a mix of Anglican hymns and Indian poetry representing different geo-linguistic regions of the country.[106] Attendance at the morning assembly is required of all pupils and teachers. It traditionally begins with a song from the school's song book, which contains poetry, hymns and bhajans, including Jana Gana Mana by Rabindranath Tagore, Chisti Ne Jis Zamin Mein by Muhammad Iqbal, Anand Loke by Rabindranath Tagore, Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua by Muhammad Iqbal, Ghungat Ke Pat Khol Re (attributed to Meerabai), Vande Mataram (from a poem by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay). Although Jana Gana Mana is India's national anthem, it is traditionally referred to as "Song No. 1" at Doon since it was adopted as the school song in 1935, fifteen years before it became India's national anthem.[107] Social work, known formally as "Socially Useful Productive Work" (SUPW), is also part of school life. All boys of the school must complete a mandatory quota of social service hours every term, which is also required by both curricula offered at the school (the International Baccalaureate referring to this as Creativity, Activity and Service or 'CAS').[108] Though, previously, students that didn't complete their hours of work were required to stay back at school over the holidays for a brief period, this has been relaxed in recent years. Doon also oversees a Panchayat Ghar (or 'village house') teaching impoverished children, and many building projects and workshops for the local community. Pupils and alumni have frequently helped local villages of organised efforts across India to assist people affected by natural disasters.[109] During the 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake, the school's amateur radio club was used by the government for communication purposes.[110]
My decision was influenced by an exciting chain ofevents. I was introduced to computer programming by my Computer Science teacherin VIIth grade, and started learning to code using resources like Scratch andMIT App Inventor. A year later, when I was still obsessed with programming andthe Internet, I started thinking about my future and ambitions. I decided thatI wanted to become a great software engineer, and then a tech entrepreneur. Irealised that I spent more than 60 hours a week at school and on doing homeworkin subjects I was not as excited by. I enjoyed the content of my math, science,English, and, of course, computer science classes, but not the teaching itself.I was not learning much by going to school everyday and always longed forholidays, half-days, and such so I could spend my time doing what I truly enjoythe most: learning and coding.
For me I have a 10yr old girl who is studying in a good school in Pune. But yes depended a lot on me and I feel cannot take decisions independently. Would like to know good boarding schools around Pune. I have just been to Sahyadri. How would you review Sahayadri School in terms of overall development? Any good school you would like to mention around Pune or in Panchgani? I am still in a thinking mode whether to send her to some boarding or not in a year or so but meanwhile doing my homework.
Both Scindia and Sherwood have been good schools but am not sure if they have kept pace with the changing times. Scindia has had to deal with severe concerns regarding bullying which I believe has now been addressed. Now aware of how Sherwood these days. You should visit the schools and also do your homework. Times are changing and so is the usefulness of boarding schools. There are several decent new schools. Happiness of the child is more important.
Ravi we did our part of homework, so Sherwood is completely out of question. Their online review is horrifying. One of my friends son is there and she is planning to withdraw soon.For Scindia everything appears good except the standard of English which my friends term as more like Central School. Many feel that approach is quite laid back. Would you possibly suggest one or two decent new schools. 2b1af7f3a8
