Sports Activities

Sports are an integral part of school life. Students are taught the importance of sports as a physical activity as well as a medium to develop their competitive spirit and camaraderie. Our commitment bears the fruits of labour every now and then and hence our students leave the spectators dazed by displaying unchallenged might and valour in the arena of sports. The School provides the following sporting activities within its premises:

Athletics

Aerobics

Yoga

Skating

Table Tennis

Shooting

Taekwondo

Cricket

Football

Volleyball

Badminton

Basket Ball

The School commits itself to further enrich its sports infrastructure in the near future, which would give its students various options to choose with.

Community Service

In a progressive school, a scholar needs more than traditional classroom learning to receive a well-rounded education, therefore SIS emphasizes on learning through community service projects. The objective behind this, is to sensitize children towards the needs and sufferings of people less fortunate than them and to instill in them values of caring, empathy, help and humility, which will make them better human beings. It also develops in students a sense of responsibility towards the society and motivates to extend help and support to the needy ones. On a regular basis, our children visit places like, the school for the blind, an old age home, a community of slum dwellers etc. Each trip enkindles a spark of empathy among the participants and helps them appreciate their own health, support system and good fortune.

Curriculum

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has rolled out its latest policy, termed the ‘Uniform Assessment, Examination and Report Card’.

The new system does away with the practice of awarding grades and replaces it with marks. Scholastic performance evaluated through written examinations will carry greater weightage than the combination of periodic tests, notebook submission and subject enrichment activity.

The new system also aims to bring about uniformity in the pattern of examination across all CBSE schools. As a first step in this direction, the Board has also issued a format of the report card along with its circular.

Let us look at some of the key features of the remodeled CBSE pattern to learn how it is going to affect students.

Key features of the new CBSE assessment scheme

1. Parameters of assessment

According to the new guidelines, the parameters of assessment will be as follows:

A. Scholastic performance: Both marks and grades will be awarded for individual subjects.

B. Co-scholastic performance: Grades will be awarded for nonscholastic performance in three categories – Work Education (or prevocational education), Art Education, and Health and Physical Education.

C. Discipline: Grades will be awarded to students after evaluating their commitment to discipline, which includes attendance, sincerity, behaviour and values.

2. Weightage and examination pattern

A. For Kindergarten

There will be 3 test series for classes Play, Nursery, and KG- (T1,T2,T3) will be scheduled and will be evaluated in the month of July, September and February respectively. These series will be assessed on the basis of the child’s day to day performance.

Term Exams (Half Yearly & Annual) will be scheduled and will be evaluated in the month of September and March respectively.

B. For classes I to VIII

Classes I to VIII will have the same format of assessment. However, a class year has been divided into two Terms. So, students of these classes will have to appear for exams twice a year, i.e., at the end of each Term. While questions in the Term 1 exam will be based on the syllabus covered during that term, a certain percentage of questions in the Term 2 exam will be based on the Term 1 syllabus.

C. For class IX 

The pattern of examination for class IX will be similar to that of class X with only one exam at the end of the academic year. Out of a total of 100 marks, 80 marks have been assigned to written exams while the remaining 20 have been divided among three disciplines: periodic tests (10 marks), notebook submission (5 marks) and subject enrichment activity (5 marks).
