Movie Screening
Between Wednesday, 16 July and Friday, 18 July 2025, students from Classes IV to XI were taken for a special screening of the inspirational film Sitaare Zameen Par. Organised as a part of the school’s continued efforts to offer holistic and value-based education, this thoughtfully planned outing aimed to enrich the learners’ emotional and social understanding beyond the boundaries of textbooks and classrooms. The film conveyed a deeply moving message centred around empathy, acceptance, and the importance of recognising and nurturing the unique strengths of every child. Students responded to the experience with great excitement and emotional engagement. The film sparked thoughtful conversations and self-reflection. Following the screening, learners were encouraged to articulate their thoughts through expressive drawings and journal writing. These creative responses beautifully captured their understanding of the film’s core themes, including kindness, inclusion, and the value of individuality. Far more than a cinematic outing, the experience served as a meaningful extension of the classroom—reinforcing the idea that every child is special and deserves to be understood, appreciated, and celebrated just as they are.
Inter-Class Storytelling Competition
An Inter-Class Storytelling Competition was organised for the students of KG with the aim of imbuing creativity, self-expression, and effective communication skills among young learners.

This enriching activity is aligned with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) for the Foundational Stage, which emphasises the importance of language development through experiential learning. Furthermore, it provides a platform to promote family traditions, moral values, and cultural heritage, helping children develop a deeper connection with their roots. The competition proved to be a joyful and meaningful experience, celebrating the power of stories and the unique voices of every child.
Project Dolphin
In support of the nationwide campaign under Project Dolphin, Salwan Public School, Mayur Vihar, organised a series of awareness activities for students of Classes IV to VIII, aimed at cultivating sensitivity towards aquatic biodiversity and encouraging conservation efforts. The programme commenced with a Dolphin Conservation Pledge taken during the morning assembly. The pledge inspired students to recognise the ecological importance of dolphins and to commit themselves to safeguarding marine and riverine life. An awareness video on dolphins was then screened in classrooms, offering insightful information about different dolphin species, their natural habitats, the threats posed by pollution and human activity, and the urgent need for their conservation. The video sparked meaningful discussions and reflections within the classroom. To further deepen student engagement, a painting competition on the theme ‘Save the Dolphins’ was held. Pupils expressed their creativity and environmental concern through vibrant artwork, portraying dolphins as symbols of grace, intelligence, and ecological harmony. Ten of the most impactful entries have been shortlisted for submission.

Following the summer break, the students of Classes Nursery and KG were warmly welcomed back to school with a vibrant and cheerful Hawaiian Party. The little ones arrived dressed in bright floral prints, colourful hats, and stylish sunglasses, adding a festive charm to the celebration. Their radiant smiles and excited chatter brought the classrooms to life. As part of the day’s activities, each child brought along a small object from home that held a special memory from their holidays. Whether it was a seashell from a beach trip, a favourite toy, or a souvenir from a family outing, these cherished items served as prompts for the children to share their holiday experiences with their classmates. Taking turns to speak, the young learners confidently expressed their stories, inculcating a sense of connection, joy, and early communication skills. The day concluded on a sweet note, with all the students receiving delicious chocolates as a special takeaway. The celebration proved to be a delightful way to ease back into the school routine, leaving the children with fond memories and a renewed excitement for the term ahead.
Show and Tell
Students of Class KG enthusiastically participated in an activity on the theme ‘Community Helpers.’ Dressed as doctors, teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other professionals, the young learners confidently spoke a few lines about the roles and responsibilities of the helpers they portrayed. Their vibrant costumes and performances reflected a clear understanding and appreciation for those who contribute to the society. The activity not only enhanced their communication skills but also nurtured self-confidence and instilled respect for different professions from an early age.
Safe and Unsafe Touch
Students of Classes Nursery and KG attended an engaging and informative session on ‘Safe and Unsafe Touch.’ The session began with a thoughtful skit presented by their teachers, helping children identify and understand different types of touch in a simple and relatable manner. Following the skit, students watched an age-appropriate video that reinforced the key messages. To make the concept more tangible, teachers used a doll to explain body safety rules and private parts. Children were taught clear steps on how to respond if someone attempts to touch them inappropriately — by saying ‘No,’ pushing the person away, shouting, running to a safe place, and immediately informing a trusted adult such as a parent or teacher. A catchy and easy to remember rhyme was introduced to help them recall these steps. The session concluded with sharing the Child Helpline Number – 1098, and children were encouraged to always speak up if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. It was an interactive session that aimed to create awareness about body safety and empower young learners to protect themselves confidently.
