Cricket

“The key to success is ninety-nine percent, perspiration and one percent inspiration.”

Just because Premier School can boast of having one of the best cricket grounds in the city besides offering its students the best and latest equipment it is not enough to develop their cricketing skills. It does help greatly but what is required is dedication and hard work. With this in mind the cricket enthusiasts are first of all taught to respect their equipment and the field on which they play. Net-practice is held daily under the watchful eye of the cricket coach. Friendly matches against other neighbouring schools are organized periodically.  The School organizes and hosts the inter-school tournament for Sahodaya Complex Schools, of which it is a member.

Music & Dance

No art can be nurtured in isolation. Children learning dance will also develop a musical sense.

Dance is a complete experience of understanding our cultural heritage. Basic footsteps, hand movements, body postures, rhythmic exercises are being taught to develop stamina and ease. Children are encouraged to perform regional folk dances, classical dance forms and even creative dance.

Since we live in an age where there are no barriers, we are training our children to be global. The children are learning to play Western music on the keyboard and the guitar. Separately students are also learning to play Indian Classical Music on the tabla and the harmonium. Drums, flutes, mouth-organs, the synthesizer and the sitar are other instruments which are patronized. Music appreciation is one of the key features of this class.
