“A parent is a teacher at home and a teacher is a parent in school and the child is the centre of our universe.”

With this thought an Orientation Programme for the Parents was held at Kindergarten block of St. Joseph’s Sr. Sec. School Sector 44 D Chandigarh. After Welcome note, the parents were briefed about the rules and regulations of the school. They were given an overview of various subjects and the activities which would be undertaken in the year ahead. Co-scholastic activities were also discussed that gave the parents an idea of the curriculum which is self-directed with hands-on learning activities that not only give the students a medium to fully utilize their creative talents and energies, but also help them in their all-round development.

The Principal, Monica Chawla spoke at length about the benefits of effective communication between parents and teachers. She sought support and suggestions from the parents to provide best education and growth opportunities to the children of the school and shared few tips on good parenting i.e. behaviour, consequences and reward system.  She laid emphasis that our little ones should have and show the virtue of gratitude and narrated some short stories also based on the different ways of nurturing a child with love and care to build a strong foundation for a glorious future.

The orientation programme proved to be a sincere effort made by the school in educating the parents to look after and guide their children in a proper manner. It also helped in evolving a well designed teaching strategy and helped the parents in identifying suitable follow up methods to reinforce the learning process of their children.
