MEDIA CLUB ACTIVITIES
Life Media Club of our school drafted a newspaper in the month of September 2012. The students had put in a lot of hard
work and creative efforts to gather information about national and international news. Moreover, activities conducted in our
school were mentioned in the newspaper. An effort was made to enhance the knowledge of our students about technology,
health and literature. In the month of October 2012, the student members made posters on burning issues like girl child and
corruption. They depicted the courage shown by Malala, the Pakistani teenager and also depicted the controversy
involving Arvind Kejriwal and Robert Vadra. Efforts were made to sensitize the students and create awareness regarding
corruption and the poor condition of girl child in our society.
The students of LIFE MEDIA CLUB did myriad activities in November. They did sample surveys to better understand the
variety of products that float in the market and how their ads affect the masses. They also closely monitored the brand
placements that are there in the serials and saw how they impact the viewers. The students also made a questionnaire to
check the memory of the people surveyed to reveal the effect of the ads that are endorsed by big names- be it a
sportsperson or an actor. The whole activity was entertaining ,educative and informative .It definitely added to the
knowledge and confidence of the students.
Creating awareness regarding the present day state of affairs are the students of Life Media Club.
EACH ONE TEACH ONE
11 November, the birthday of Maulana Abul Kalam
Azad, is observed every year as the National
Education Day. He was an eminent educationist, a
great freedom fighter and the first Union Minister of
Education of our country. On this day, the students of
class X and XI of our school reaffirmed their
commitment towards education by becoming a part
of the "Each-One-Teach-One Programme" by
interacting with the illiterate adults working as
sweepers in the school.
The excitement and joy was evident on the faces of
the students and the school sweepers. The students
interacted with their 'adult' students very politely and
patiently, teaching them the basic Number System
and English alphabets. Some of the sweepers were
able to write 3-letter words and even their name in
English. The effort made by the students towards
eradicating illiteracy was quite successful as many
of the sweepers showed inclination and interest
when taught basic mathematical operations and
English words. The students had a wonderful and
unforgettable experience, and will continue their
Spreading literacy and happiness- our young and responsible citizens.
efforts of spreading literacy in the near future.
