As a special feature by our students on the culmination of our theatrical workshop, Mr.Sumit Thakur – Theatre Arts teacher churned out two remarkable performances covering one short play and a mime with them.  In this stint in the school he covered ‘Rebirth’ – a short play based on doctors, and ‘Life of a Butterfly’ – a mime.

‘Rebirth’ emphasizes that doctors are not Gods.  They show us how man comes closest to being God, because momentarily he holds his patients lives, in his hands and many a times, it is a split second decision that would decide life and death.  With that kind of selfless working under pressure that the doctors do, we should show more compassion towards them.  We must stop violence against doctors and consider them ‘as our friends’.

‘Life of a Butterfly’ – mime conveys a message that nobody has the right to play with anyone’s life – it the life of a human or animal or bird or an insect.

The school utilized this occasion to felicitate runners-up of Subrato Football cup.

This occasion also marked the address of the Director Mr.Ch.Vijay Prakash urging the students to refrain from indulging in harmful (dangerous) videogames.  He reiterated the impact of climate change on earth.

Dr. Georgianna Marie Dwarte is a renowned professional who has been a recipient of many honours and awards in the US and other countries.  Her contribution in the field of education has been long and illustrious.

It is remarkable what she had achieved in the last 12 years.  She has done her bachelors in Early childhood education from Georgia State University.  She has done her Masters in Elementary Education from Edinboro State University, Edinboro Pennsylvania.  She is a doctor of Philosophy in curriculum and instruction, Major in Early Childhood Education, Minor in Reading from the Pennsylvania State University.  The new session this year was welcomed by Dr.Goergianna who has come here from the USA to guide our teachers to understand and implement latest teaching techniques along with making them aware of the do’s and don’ts of teaching.  Presently, she is working with Adams, Endowed professor in the Department of teaching and learning, Bayh College of Education in the Indiana State University in the US.

The topics covered by her were :- Communication encompassing the various types along with the process and barriers in it.  She gave us valuable insights as in the things and methods we could adopt to make it effective.  It also covered the importance of listening in the process of learning and how to implement it.  Her sessions also covered the importance of employing an ‘all inclusive’ policy in which the emphasis was to reach out to all the kids and overcome the challenge of variable, IQs and learning skills.  The following topics were covered Class room mamagement, Independent learning, D.A.P., effects of physical environment, ability grouping, types of mentoring and creation of our action plan inculcating all the above factors.

The teachers were exposed to the trends and concepts that were being followed by the USA and European educationists.  It was very relevant and dynamic, and it was observed that by incorporating her inputs the effectiveness of teaching would be of a better quality and far more effective.  For the children working with Dr.Georgianna was a unique experience.  They really emerged all charged up and the flow of creative ideas astonished one and all.

Dr.Georgianna and the other teachers got together to reiterate our commitment to conserve our environment, as they planted saplings on Environment day. During the pot lunch organized by the staff of SPSS, Dr.Georgianna stressed the importance of team work and the results that can be achieved  throught it.

On 28-06-2019 we bade ferewell to Dr.Georgianna Dwarte with a very heavy heart.  On this occasion we realized the immense work she did in her assignment and created a special place in all our hearts.  Some fought tears and some let some drops shed.  But, the common sentiment was that we will miss her and wait for her to return for another stint here.  We wish her a safe journey and a long and prosperous life.

Synergites celebrated William Shakespeare’s Day with fun and frolic in true Sri Prakash Style. On 23rd April 2019, Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest literature, poet and playwright of all times. 

His philosophy seems to have been cynical and pessimistic.  He seems to have been an agnostic, although it would have been unwise for him to express agnostic or atheistic at a time when the church was very powerful and vindictive.  The primary section presented a colourful and musical skit ‘Ant and the cricket’ that delivered a powerful message to the students. The spell bound audience were transcended to the Shakespearean era while witnessing the tiny tots perform a fancy dress-strutting the ramp in complete style.  Shakespeare has 154 sonnets.  A few of our synergites rendered popular sonnets in front of an awe struck audience.  These sonnets covered a variety of emotions eg love, loss, deception, time, youth etc and were certainly not simple poems.

A vivid portrait depicting the central, theme of the famous play ‘The Merchant of Venice’ was commissioned.  This was prepared by the students under the aegis of Art sir Mr.Srinu.

‘To be or not to be’ ‘Hail Caesar’ ‘All that gliters is not gold’ ‘O’Romeo, Romeo!’… Yes!  These popular dramatic phrases are indeed from Shakespearean literature.  Over the course of his life, Shakespeare wrote nearly 40 plays (tragedies, comedies and histories) 154 sonnets, and 2 narrative poems.

But today was the day to present ‘The merchant of venice’ which truly proved that Shakespeare’s literature is synonymous with theatre – the two are clearly inseparable.

‘All the world’s a stage….’ As these words were delivered Nixon was at his oratory best.  These famous lines from ‘As you like it’ were welcomed with a thunderous applause.

The Director sir’s speech was followed by a speech by our chief guests Dr.Sudhakar C Agarkar and Professor S.R.Santhanam.

Students at Sri Prakash Synergy School warmly welcomed a special feature while the participants of this feature rendered it an element of festivity in true style of Sri Prakash.  This event was none other than the culmination f our theatrical workshop under the tutelage of theatre arts teacher Mr.Sumit Thakur.

The curtain of the theatrical show was raised to a memorable presentation called “NAINA” the story of the young generation – an improvised short play by the students of Theatre Arts.  “NAINA” depicts that in life sometimes you take a stand which is different from the views of our elders.  Contrary to benefit, it is not always disrespectful to our elders if we donot concur with their decisions which are not ethically and morally right.  The effect of special lighting added an extra dimension to today’s feature.  The second performance was mime show.  The mime titled “NATURE” depicts that trees are the lungs of the earth.  But we are recklessly destroying trees which is resulting in ‘devastation’.  The other mime ‘TUG – OF – WAR’ presented a tug-of-war between differing perceptions and ideologies towards a common goal.  It also showed how the goal itself was destroyed with use of unfair means in the relentless pursuit.  But the theatrical feature was far more utilitarian than being more entertainer.  Information was given on importance of theatre arts, its history of Natyashastra, career guidance.

The Chief Guest, Director of the school reiterated the importance of Theatre Arts.  Synergites have brought laurels to the school in the field of Cricket in the ACA children’s cup state championship under the aegis of their Coach Mr. G.Durga Prasad.  The school utilized this opportunity to felicitate the winning team by the Director sir Mr.Ch.Vijay Prakash.
