Principal’s Message You are the master of your ship This is true in everyone’s life if we firmly believe in it. It can be developed by using positive self-talk which is nothing but affirmations. Make these positive affirmations a part of your life. Day after day I am becoming physically energetic, mentally more alert, intellectually inspired, emotionally balanced, morally strengthened, spiritually awakened and socially responsible As we are approaching the end of the academic year 21-22 and the beginning of the new academic year 22-23, it is time for all of you to reminisce, revisit, relook and revise your goals. Dwell on your last year’s objectives and the road map you had to achieve the same and recall whether you have put in enough efforts to realize them. Were you consistent in your efforts and did you meet the set deadlines? There is no short cut to achievement and it is a continuous process. Success=Dream+ Determination+ Discipline + Undivided faith + Diligence, and on top of all these is the consistent effort. So what are you waiting for!!!!! When the formula is there, JUMP INTO ACTION Be a proud Pallavian

Preparing Teachers for a Change Pallavi Group of Institutions believes in providing a conducive environment to the teachers to prepare themselves for the ongoing changes in the world outside. Be it online classes, usage of technology or providing one on one support to the students, the management makes sure the transition is smooth for the teachers. A webinar on the topic ‘Preparing Teachers for a Change’ was held to ignite the enthusiasm and zeal among the teachers to relook into different ways to make their teaching learning process more productive. The webinar was led by the eminent speaker Prof Harish Chaudhary from IIT Delhi who provided insights into how the teachers have to update and adapt themselves. He said that teachers have to mainly motivate the students to explore more as information is very much handy in the form of Google and other social media platforms. As this generation kids have different expectations, the teachers also need to be prepared for the same. He said as globalisation, change in family structures, urbanisation, and usage of technology have percolated into every aspect of our life, the teachers have to revisit their objectives of teaching and become more proactive to adapt themselves to the changing scenarios.

The Lion and the Mouse A lion was once sleeping in the jungle when a mouse started running up and down his body just for fun. This disturbed the lion’s sleep, and he woke up quite angry. He was about to eat the mouse when the mouse desperately requested the lion to set him free. “I promise you, I will be of great help to you someday if you save me.” The lion laughed at the mouse’s confidence and let him go. One day, a few hunters came into the forest and took the lion with them. They tied him up against a tree. The lion was struggling to get out and started to whimper. Soon, the mouse walked past and noticed the lion in trouble. Quickly, he ran and gnawed on the ropes to set the lion free. Both of them sped off into the jungle. Moral of the Story A small act of kindness can go a long way.
