GD Goenka Pub­lic School, Sec­tor 48, Guru­gram, organ­ises ‘Open Learn­ing Day

GD Goenka Pub­lic School, Sec­tor 48, Guru­gram organ­ised an event titled ‘Open Learn­ing Day’ for the middle-wing stu­dents after the com­ple­tion of their Term 1 exam­in­a­tions. The ini­ti­at­ive offered stu­dents a refresh­ing break from the exam­in­a­tion routine through a thought­fully cur­ated pro­gramme of exper­i­en­tial, cre­at­ive, skill-ori­ented and recre­ational activ­it­ies, provid­ing oppor­tun­it­ies to learn, explore and engage in mean­ing­ful ways.

Stu­dents par­ti­cip­ated enthu­si­ast­ic­ally in Cine-Edu­ca­tion and Action Song ses­sions, fol­lowed by mean­ing­ful inter­ac­tions and work­sheet-based reflec­tion. The Self-Defence Work­shop equipped stu­dents with essen­tial per­sonal safety skills. JAM, Read­ing and Craft activ­it­ies fur­ther nur­tured cre­ativ­ity, com­mu­nic­a­tion, ima­gin­a­tion & col­lab­or­at­ive learn­ing.

The stu­dents of Grades 3 & 4 vis­ited a bank, gain­ing first-hand expos­ure to bank­ing oper­a­tions and an under­stand­ing of how fin­an­cial insti­tu­tions func­tion in the real world. The stu­dents of Grades 5-8 engaged in a diverse range of stim­u­lat­ing and pur­pose­ful activ­it­ies.

As part of Kaushal Bodh, Go Sharpener activ­it­ies focused on envir­on­mental aware­ness and sus­tain­ab­il­ity, encour­aging stu­dents to reflect on envir­on­mental con­cerns and explore respons­ible prac­tices for a sus­tain­able future.

Stu­dents were also intro­duced to the BRICS Sum­mit, held in Delhi, gain­ing insight into the sig­ni­fic­ance of the inter­na­tional forum. This was fol­lowed by an enga­ging quiz for Grades 7 & 8, while Grade 7 stu­dents par­ti­cip­ated in lively group games that fostered team­work, coordin­a­tion and sports­man­ship.

The Funath­lon and the vibrant ‘Move­ment Meets Melody’ work­shop fur­ther pro­moted phys­ical vital­ity, cre­ativ­ity, rhythm and joy­ful self-expres­sion.

The day ended on a high note, with stu­dents return­ing with renewed enthu­si­asm, enriched per­spect­ives and a rep­er­toire of prac­tical skills.
