House
All the students from std I to IX are allocated one of the four Houses : Red-Alps, Blue-Himalayas, Green-Darby, Yellow-
The school has a system of house parents where by one teacher is allotted the responsibility for a group of children and he/she will keep a daily track record of all round development and progress and will be in constant touch with the parents of the children in his care.
The school organizes various inter-house competitions. The fundamental objective is to develop team and individual skills, confidence, sportsmanship and explore talent among other things.
Competitions are held separately for the Juniors and seniors once in 15 days. The students are encouraged to exhibit their talent in music, dance, cultural activities and sports . Events like Extempore Speech, Declamation, Recitation, Dumb Charades, What's the good word?, English spelling bee, Dumb Charades, etc. help them to become confident, learn the art of stage presentation, backstage management, assume responsibilities well and learn to cooperate. The school also aims to inculcate better general and social awareness amongst the students through cultural program to celebrate international and Indian festivals and other special occasions.
Yoga
Children today are under a lot of stress. Homework, pressure to compete with other children, endless after-school activities, over-scheduling -- it all adds up. At OIS we are teaching our students Yoga to help them relax. Yoga helps them develop better body awareness, self-control, flexibility and coordination. Yoga has also been shown to help the hyperactive and attention-deficit child. These children crave movement and sensory/motor stimulus. Yoga helps channel these impulses in a positive way.
Field Trips
At OIS we believe that students should be exposed to a variety of activities and field trips as it is very essential for the all round development of the students' personality. Students can improve their interaction skills with peers and seniors, organizational ability, observation, learn to be independent and imbibe invaluable insights
into life around them.
We propose to send our children to Fire Station, Police Station, Post Office, Bank, Hospital, Science Centre, Bird Park , Zoo, factory visits, theatre, movies and a wide range of exciting places.
Field trips are held once in each term.
