CREATING QUALITY EFFECTIVE SCHOOL – A Student’s view point

The vision of an excellent school, a place in which the parents, students, teachers and

members of the community enjoy oneness, would be determined primarily by the kind of ethos it

reflects. The school should have the child as focus and the process must include reference to the

four basic factors, viz.

1. The teacher

2. The learner

3. The subject matter

4. The content / setting

The endeavour would be to hire and train the best of teachers for the purpose of attaining our

objectives. The learner, who is the focus of all educational process, must be helped to develop into

a citizen who is ambitious yet concerned about others, able to rationalize and reason out things

yet be sensitive to others’ needs. He should be proud of his success yet be able to tackle failure

in the right spirit and look at them as an opportunity to learn from mistakes. It is also necessary to

help the learner be in tune with the latest developments in the field of technology yet be prepared

to work with his hands. This can be achieved by imparting a fine tuned subject matter, both within

and beyond the classroom situations. A teacher here, plays a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of

the students. For any institution, to attain the above, we need to create the right setting. Education

being a dynamic process should look at alternatives and methods for constantly improving the

process and the product.

It is in this endeavour to improve the process and product that the “Kola Perumal Chetty Vaishnav

Senior Secondary School” constantly brings innovation without losing sight of old practices. “Bal

Brindavan” putting together the creative talent of the students and their actions, activities and

achievements is one such attempt again. It creates a constancy of purpose towards improvement

and reaffirms team effort to achieve specific goals in the years to come.
