ON MY MIND…
I am delighted to be associated with Mayoor School Bhopal as its new head. I took charge on October 11, 2010.
To introduce myself briefly - I have been a student at Mayo, then a teacher there for almost three decades. I left Mayo to take charge of Alwar Public School, Alwar as its Director. I have recently returned from Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, where I was the Educational Advisor to all the Indian Schools for nearly ten years.
My predecessor, Mrs. Nishi Misra, left Mayoor School to take over a large boarding school at Gwalior. We take this opportunity to wish her all success in her new venture.
Mayoor School, Bhopal, functions under the collaboration of the Mayo College Governing Council, Ajmer. As this association is highly cherished and looked up to by the people of Bhopal, it becomes obligatory on the part of the Management, Principal and Staff of this school to set high standards in all our endeavours to establish a dynamic and a futuristic educational institution in this city.
We have undertaken many projects straight away to complete our infrastructural requirements. Work on the new General Science laboratory, 8 additional classrooms, toilet blocks, new music and dance halls has begun and expected to be operational before the next academic session.
The 400 meter athletics track and a turf football cum cricket field has been laid and we hope to see children using it by December. A bore-well for water supply has been commissioned.
We are scheduled to have our CBSE inspection in January 2011, for affiliation. We are well prepared to meet all their statutory requirements. Mayoor School, is therefore, all set to introduce class 9 with the CBSE curriculum from April 2011.
Comprehensive focus would, however, continue to be on academics. Our teachers attend time to time training and refresher workshops to update their knowledge and teaching skills.
We follow the XSeed, ‘idiscoveri’ pattern of education for classes KG to 6th. The other classes follow the NCERT/CBSE syllabus. Our teaching pattern will remain exciting through field trips, visits to museums, sports displays and other innovative learning/teaching methodologies. As the head, I would appreciate a close interaction with parents to enable us to deliver our very best towards the growth and development of their children. Let’s follow the dictum that states – ‘come to us with not only the problem – but also the solution to the problem’.
I am sure that Mayoor School will flourish as a happy, homely and a meaning school under the patronage of the people of Bhopal.
With best wishes,
Mr. Ramesh Mathur
