The ‘Habits of an Orderly Mind’- Class VI Camp
Posted March 10, 2026
What begins as a simple thought can transform into a lifelong habit and with this powerful idea, the Class VI Camp was held in the serene hills of Mahabaleshwar. based on the book, ‘Habits of an Orderly Mind’, on the 24th of February 2026 at King Garden, on the 26th of February 2026 and on the 2nd March 2026 at Nirvana Agro Resort. Over the course of these enriching days, the students were immersed in meaningful learning experiences designed to their character and conduct along with their thinking patterns. The peaceful natural surroundings beautifully reflected the central message of the camp that order brings clarity, strength, and harmony.
The camp commenced with discussions on the importance of cultivating an orderly mind in daily life. The junior youth reflected on how systematic thinking strengthens responsibilities and relationships. Through interactive dialogue and relatable examples, they understood that an orderly mind supports attentiveness, dependability, and organization. The Badge Making activity titled “Qualities of My Friend” provided a beautiful opportunity for the junior youth to observe and appreciate the virtues of their peers, thereby strengthening bonds of friendship.
Logical and systematic thinking was reinforced through the Caesar Cipher activity, wherein the students created and decoded secret messages based on spiritual qualities. This activity stimulated analytical reasoning, teamwork, and collaborative problem-solving. Sequencing exercises, including arranging scrambled sentences of prayers, highlighted the importance of step-by-step reasoning and clear communication. These thoughtfully designed tasks helped the students to experience how clarity in thinking naturally leads to clarity in expression.
The theme of planning and prioritizing was explored through practical, everyday situations, guiding them to recognize the importance of performing tasks thoughtfully and in the proper order. The concept of order was further brought to life through patterns and symmetry observed in nature and design. Activities such as tangram creations, symmetry painting, thread art, popsicle stick patterns, and origami snowflakes allowed the students to creatively explore balance and structure. These hands-on experiences enhanced spatial awareness, patience, precision and teamwork while encouraging artistic expression.
A significant focus of the camp was on developing the power of concentration. Through meaningful illustrations and reflective discussions, the students discovered how focused thinking enhances understanding and effectiveness. They were encouraged to practise mindful attention and responsible use of their time and energy. The quotation recitation activity further strengthened confidence and presentation skills, allowing the students to internalize values and express them with clarity.
Empathy and service formed an essential dimension of the camp experience. The visit to the animal shelter offered a practical opportunity to demonstrate compassion and responsibility. The students learned the importance of thoughtful planning and cooperation while caring for living beings. This service experience left a deep and lasting impression on their minds.
The camp concluded with heartfelt reflection, as the students confidently shared their insights and personal growth. Their responses reflected maturity, clarity, and a genuine understanding of the values explored throughout the camp. The event was conducted smoothly with excellent coordination and teamwork among the teachers, ensuring efficient management of materials, activities, documentation, safety, communication, and service initiatives. Thus, it inspired the junior youth to think clearly, act responsibly, appreciate order in the world around them, and extend empathy toward others.

The projects and models reflected the depth of research, clarity of thought, and a willingness to look beyond subject boundaries. Conversations flowed easily as the students of Classes VI to IX explained, analysed, and connected concepts with confidence. The atmosphere carried a sense of thoughtfulness and erudition.
Bringing together all branches of knowledge, Science, Mathematics, Social Science, Languages, Information Technology, Arts, and Moral Education, the exhibition reflected the true spirit of interdisciplinary learning. The students demonstrated how subjects connect with each other and with real-life experiences, making learning meaningful and absorbing. They presented working models, projects, exhibits, quizzes, and interactive games that highlighted their understanding, creativity, and teamwork. English charts were full of linguistic creativity, scientific concepts were presented through models, mathematical ideas were explored through activities, social science displays encouraged awareness and inquiry, while arts, and IT presentations added creativity and innovation to the experience.
The exhibition was warmly visited by parents, who appreciated the confidence and clarity with which students explained their work. The event provided a wonderful platform for learners to share their ideas, collaborate with peers and experience the joy of integrated learning beyond textbooks.

The 50th Annual Athletic Meet 2025-Celebrating 80th Anniversary!
Posted February 26, 2026
The 50th Annual Athletic Meet 2025 held on the 20th of December, 2025 marked a significant milestone in the school’s journey. The day brought together students, staff, parents and an ever growing gathering of alumni, all united by a deep affection for the institution and its values, celebrating together the 80th year of New Era’s inception.
The proceedings began with the arrival of the Chief Guest, Mr. Javed Khan, a well-loved former sports faculty. The hoisting of the flag reflected discipline and unity, after which a deeply moving moment followed, the arrival of the Sports Torch, carried jointly by the Narula Awardees and present students. This symbolic gesture beautifully connected generations and reminded everyone that the spirit of the school continues to be passed on with great strength. The salute march past, led enthusiastically by students from all clusters and accompanied by the theme “Sportsmanship is Victory,” filled the grounds with precision. The School Song, the oath taking ceremony by the girl captain and the formal declaration of the opening of the meet by the chief guest, lent the occasion dignity and honour.
As the events commenced, the athletic field reverberated with energy! From the youngest participants in the unity march, followed by the Primary races, to the confident strides of senior students and ex students, each event was met with generous applause and encouragement. Sprint races, relays, jumps, and throws progressed fluidly, while the celebratory drills by the Middle and Secondary school students , dedicated to the school’s glorious 80th year, stood out as a graceful and symbolic tribute. What made the day truly special was the wholehearted participation of the alumni. The alumni not only graced the occasion as special guests but also actively took part in races and friendly events with enthusiasm that matched that of the younger athletes. Also, our national level shooting champion also found a special mention, adding cherry on the cake!
The victory podium remained in constant use, joyfully serving as a space to honour achievements throughout the day! Certificates and awards were bestowed repeatedly upon the students, whose efforts were rightly celebrated.
The presence of the Chief Guest, Mr. Javed Khan, added an emotional dimension to the celebration. An ex-staff member loved and respected by all, he had served the school devotedly for 24 years in various capacities, most prominently as a sports teacher. He was also among those who contributed significantly to the construction of the school ground at Kanga, laying the foundation, both literally and symbolically, for generations of sporting excellence. His presence was profoundly heartwarming, evoking memories, gratitude, and a strong sense of continuity. Equally touching was the steady stream of alumni who continued to pour onto the grounds and fill the stands, reconnecting with old friends, teachers, and memories.
The spectator stands remained full throughout the day, alive with the encouragement of appreciative parents and alumni, friends and relatives of students and staff members alike. Their cheers, smiles, and joie de vivre transformed the meet into a collective celebration, reinforcing the idea that the school is indeed a place of learning and also a lifelong home space!
As the events drew to a close, the Vote of Thanks expressed sincere appreciation to everyone who had contributed to the success of the meet. The closing message delivered by the Head of Administration was rich in gratitude and appreciation, acknowledging the wholehearted participation of students, parents, and alumni, and highlighting how their presence and enthusiasm had made the occasion deeply meaningful. The message also reflected upon the many milestones the school has achieved over the years, lending the moment reflection and depth. The Prize Distribution Ceremony honoured achievement with warmth and humility, and Mr. Javed Khan’s address touched deeply, inspiring all present. The lowering of the flag and the National Anthem brought the milestone celebration to a dignified close.
Thus, the 50th Annual Athletic Meet 2025 will stay forever in all hearts.
