A warm welcome to all dignitaries on and off the dais who have assembled here today to share our joy in the celebration of Maithry Utsav 2023. It is with pleasure that I share with you the fact that Maithry Vidyanikethan is completing 20 glorious years this year. There has been a tremendous and exponential growth in these 20 years and with pride we can say that we are one among the leading CBSE schools in Bangalore.

Success is a result of hard work, learning from mistakes, persistence ,loyalty and perfection. That is the motto at Maithry Vidyanikethan. From a small beginning in 2003, the Institution has grown to be what it is today. And this has been possible only with the unstinted encouragement and support of the Management in all spheres of the development of the school.

The hardwork and persistence of the staff of the school is evident when we see the consistently increasing percentage of the results in the Board Exams. In March 2023, 85 students took up the X std CBSE Board exams and our school secured 100% results for the 13^th consecutive year. Two students Ann Sebastian and Sibiraj topped with 96.2%. We had 54 students scoring distinction ie: above 75%  and proudly we announce that 3 students Akshat Shinde, Ann Sebastian and Aslesha Maharana secured 100 in Sanskrit. We believe not only in encouraging the high performers but also in motivating average students. The testimony to this is the fact that no student scored less than 60% in the Board Exams. We were also previleged to conduct the Board Exams as Examination Centre, for nearly 250 students from different schools and completed it to the satisfaction of all without any hitches.

Remediation classes is an ongoing process that starts from June. The daily remedial classes are planned to help the average students to catch up from the level they are at. By the end of the year they are slowly integrated into the mainstream classes.

With the LEAD curriculum too the students are more attuned to apply the concepts to real life. Hands on activities for different concepts helps them visualize and understand.

As always, the management of the school has always strived to provide the best and latest infrastructure for the use of the staff and students. New play equipment for the pre primary and primary students, additional materials for all labs, the new N-computing computer lab with latest configuration of systems, the digitalization of teaching by providing smart TV’s in all classrooms are worth mentioning. Cameras in all classrooms and every nook and corner of the campus provide for total security and safety of all the students.

At Maithry, equal importance is given for the training and empowerment of all staff. Regular training programmes both by CBSE and other external resource persons and also regular follow up sessions by LEAD help the staff to keep themselves up to date with all the latest advances in the teaching process. Continuous monitoring by academic experts hone the skills of the teachers for the betterment of the students. Annual trips for staff are also conducted to help them bond with one another and relax ,away from the students & classrooms.

Regular Parent teacher meets are encouraged to help the parents check on the progress of their wards. Any concerns of the parents are dealt with immediately. In house counsellor interacts with students and parents to tackle any issues they may be facing.

The students of the school are divided into 4 houses Surya, Chandra, Pruthvi and Varuna. This encourages a healthy competition among the students during the conduct of all class activities. Varied activities are conducted both within and outside the classroom to develop the talents of the students. Yoga, Singing, Oratory, Pick and Speak, Slogan writing, Creating best out of waste , drawing and painting , Rangoli, Quiz competitions,etc bring out the varied talents of the students of all ages. Prizes and Certificates are awarded to encourage them.

The Young Engineers Programme conducted by Star Innovators continues to excite the students of all classes where they learn basic science concepts by making things.It is a treat to watch them carry home models they have made and explain to their parents how they have made them. Basics of Robotics and 3D Printing is taught to the students of IX and X Grades.

Abacus for Stds I_VI and Vedic Maths for Stds VII_X  is also a part of the regular curriculum aimed at making Math easier to understand.

The Student Led conference saw the little ones  turning into teachers and show their parents how their learning happens everyday in the classroom.

Celebration of all festivals in the school brings in an atmosphere of festivity and colour. It mainly helps the students to understand the value of these celebrations and the culture of our country. Each and every activity is planned to inculcate basic values. Fathers’ Day was  celebrated by the Pre Primary students to strengthen the already existing bond between the child and father. Thanks giving day saw the little ones giving thank you cards to all the support staff of the school, putting up a show for them and cheering them in various sports activities.School trips relevant to various age appropriate  places taught the students to be responsible ­­­­­­­­­­­­­, enjoy themselves and at the same time learn all about the history of the places they visited and appreciate the Art, Architecture and Culture of these historical places. Students are encouraged to participate in the various Olympiad exams in Maths/Science/English etc.

The annual Metric Mela saw the students planning and running various food & games stalls. An amount of Rs.48,800/- got as profit by them was given for the treatment of one of our students of UKG who was ill thereby inculcating feeling of empathy in them for others.

The Paper Recycling activity was conducted in collaboration with ITC to help students understand the value of recycling.A whopping 7,355 Kgs of paper was brought by the students for recycling.

The Scouts and Guides movement started in the last two years, is followed enthusiastically by nearly 100 students from Stds V_VIII. The students who opted to go for the camp for the Dwitiya and Tritiya Sopana Exams came back with great memories of those four days.

Annual health check up ensures that any health issues are brought to the notice of parents for timely interventions.

Physical activities & sports are a part and parcel of the school curriculum. In addition to the regular P.T classes students of higher classes are encouraged to play games after school hours. They are given training in Basket ball, Volley ball, Throw ball, Kho-Kho etc. Primary and Pre-primary students enjoyed their Sports Day last week where 100%, participation was there.

Dear Parents,

In all,let me conclude by saying that this academic year 2023-24 has been most fulfilling. With the utmost dedication of all the staff we hope to conclude the rest of the year too with the same high standards. The support of the parents has always been with us in all our activities and we hope for the same in all our future endeavours too.

On behalf of the School Management and Staff we thank all the Parents and Students in the success of this Institution.

Thank you

Principal
