Newsletter Issue 137 Art expands our horizons and builds social bonds. It provides us with comfort and pleasure, while also challenging us to see the world in new ways. Hence, we at DPSIS strongly believe that the academic education, complemented with the expressive discipline of Arts & Crafts, play a major role in shaping the overall personality of our students To highlight this strong belief, a weeklong celebration of Creativity was held at DPSIS starting 13th January, 2009. Various activities and competitions were organized across the spectrum of classes to reinforce the importance of Arts & Crafts and generate a greater appreciation towards it. These events provided the dipsites an opportunity to unleash their creativity and showcase their inherent talents. A plethora of activities were meticulously planned and conducted by our well qualified and experienced art teachers, Ms Meher Verghese & Ms. Yasmin Sirraj. To start with, a Quilt making activity, focusing on team building was conducted for the students of Classes I to XI, for each of the four houses. The young dipsites were able to exhibit their drawing and painting talents on a piece of cloth, which werethen stitched together to form a colorful tapestry. The creativity and the imagination of these young minds reflected upon this artistic masterpiece which presently forms the backdrop of the stage in our school. It is sure to be a proud moment for the Dipsites to see their bit of creation on display. Painting activities such as face painting, stain glass painting and still life drawing were conducted for students at various levels. The vibrant and lively colors along with the creative designs used, demonstrated the enchantingly magical world of our budding young minds, ready to explore the artist within themselves. To instill a healthy competitive spirit among the students, coloring & painting, clay modeling and Chinese lantern making competitions were also held at various levels. A recycling competition was also held to spread the awareness of saving our environment. It was indeed a fascinating and an awesome sight to see our students compete with each other in a fun-filled atmosphere.Their unlimited and striking creative ideas left one and all, spell bound! These weeklong activities at our school celebrated creativity, spontaneity and encouraged experimenting among our students. It fostered the belief of self-expression in a positive open environment and helped improve the motor skills, problem-solving and enhanced creative thinking. The results of the week reflected the diverse and imaginative world of our art loving students and taught them as to how beauty is born and how artists create masterpieces. Art with passion & creativity! Copyright © DPS International School, Singapore 2004,2009

Republic day celebrated with fervour

If the content is invisible or improper, please click here

Newsletter Volume 5, Issue 136 . The 60th Republic day was celebrated with fervour at DPSIS. The programmes organised on this occasion, kindled the patriotic feelings within. The celebration began with hoisting of the tricolour flag followed by the national anthem. Speech on Significance of Republic day by Siddharth Srinivasan and Suranjana Sengupta of class IX encouraged the young minds to value freedom. Patriotic songs by our choir added patriotic flavour to the occasion. The enthusiastic participation of our staff and students stood testimony to the love for our nation. The events of the day concluded with exchange of greetings. Republic day at the Indian High Commission was celebrated with great zest and gaiety. The huge turn out of people reflected the patriotic sentiments of the Indian Diaspora in Singapore. A slight pour of drizzle throughout the programme in no way dampened the spirit of the occasion. The Indian flag was unfurled by the Indian High Commissioner, H.E. Dr. S. Jaishankar. The tricolour flag fluttered with light breeze arising a sense of belonging to one's nation even when one is far away from home. A host of cultural programmes by way of songs, dances and poetry rendition were presented by various Indian schools in Singapore. It was indeed a treat to watch school children perform invoking patriotic fervour in one and all. Our school choir guided ably by our music teachers gave a fitting finale to the show. The choir enthralled the audience with their rendition of songs so much that it prompted members from the crowd to ask for a "Once more". Kudos to our music teachers who brought out the spirit.

Shri Hanuman Chalisa

Blessed Self,

Hari Om!

Remembering you and sending my best wishes for the remaining part of the year.

In two decades of traveling round the world and conducting various sessions on Vedanta, I have found that the maximum impact, inspiration and transformation in most was created by the discourses on Shri Hanuman Chalisa. By Gurudev's grace and Guruji's constant inspiration we will be concluding 100 such discourses or Gyana Yagna's in February in Mumbai.

To express everyone's gratitude, to spread the glory of our Hanuman and to further benefit our lives, we are arranging a grand havan with 108 havan kundas on 15^th February from 7am to 7pm. As we make offerings to the sacrificial fire thousands will chant Hanuman Chalisa 108 times. This event, named 'Chant Mumbai, Shant Mumbai' will bring a large number of people together to express our solidarity towards the many difficult and challenging situations that have risen in the past year.

We have all experienced the miracle and power of chanting Shri Hanuman Chalisa in our lives. Now is the chance to experience its impact on the world and in our lives, as thousands of us chant together.

I invite you to attend this maha havan which will benefit many as well as you and your dear ones, or be a part of it by being a yajman, by sending your sponsorship.

If you are unable to attend, then you can chant Shri Hanuman Chalisa at home or as a group on 15^th February. Make as many as you know aware of this program to add to the global chanting.

You can also watch the promo of the event on youtube link: http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=8wAedV8ukKw and pass it on to others as well.

Love,

At His Feet,
Swaroopananda
