A DAY AT SUB-DISTRICT KALOLSAVAM

 A DAY AS AN NSS VOLUNTEER AT SUBDISTRICT KALOLSAVAM

11 NOVEMBER 2024

Today , we the students of Sabarigiri college of Education, had the opportunity to serve as NSS Volunteers at GHSS Anchal East School for the Subdistrict Kalolsavam. A total of 52 teacher trainees, including myself, arrived at the school by 8:45 AM, as instructed by our NSS coordinator, Jaseena Ma'am. After gathering at a designated corner, we marked our attendance and collected our badges. We the had a quick photo session with the school authorities before receiving instructions for our duties.

We then had a quick photo session with the school authorities before receiving instructions for our duties. We were guided to the Program Committee room, where our responsibilities were assigned. Malavika and I were given Room No. 12 as our designated area.

Upon entering, we found one teacher coordinator already present. The competitions to be held in the room included Sanskrit story writing, poem writing, essay writing, and "Samasya Pooranam" for students from the UP, HS, and HSS levels. Our first task was to arrange the desks and benches, ensuring there was enough seating for all the students to be comfortable. By 10:30 AM, the judges arrived and assigned topics for each competition. I distributed writing sheets, collected signatures, and assigned code numbers to the students. As the students began writing, we observed their progress and provided additional sheets when needed. Some students were participating in multiple competitions at the same time, which caused scheduling conflicts and created a bit of pressure for both the students and us. It was a challenging, but rewarding, experience. By 1:30 PM, all the competitions in our room had concluded. We collected the completed papers and went to the Program Committee room to hand them over in the correct order. It was a new and exciting experience for us to be part of such a well-organized event.

Afterwards, it was time for lunch. The school provided a wrapped meal consisting of fried rice, cauliflower curry, salad, and pickle. We were all quite hungry, and the food was delicious, which made the break even more satisfying.

Our next duty was in the Trophy Keeping Room. Some of us were assigned to clean the trophies, which would be given to the participants and the overall winners of the competitions. By 3:30 PM, after marking our attendance, we left the school, feeling accomplished and content after a day full of learning and service.

SELF REFLECTION

Today’s experience as an NSS volunteer at the Subdistrict Kalolsavam was both challenging and rewarding. Looking back, I realize that it not only helped me develop important skills but also taught me valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, and time management. One of the best things I learned today was the importance of teamwork. Although we were each assigned different tasks, we all worked together toward a common goal: ensuring the smooth conduct of the competitions. Also one important lesson was smooth time management.

  RAISING AWARENESS ON INTERNATIONAL EPILEPSY DAY On February 12, 2025, Sabarigiri College of Education celebrated International Epilepsy Day, a global event aimed at raising awareness about epilepsy. The program began with Arathi as the anchor, welcoming everyone and setting the tone for the day’s activities. Aparna delivered an insightful speech, explaining epilepsy as a neurological condition that affects people of all ages and backgrounds, making them prone to recurrent seizures. She highlighted the importance of awareness and support for those living with the condition. The event included a powerful awareness play, performed by Pooja, Muhsina, Arya, Akshaya, Nuju, Ameena, and Aparna. The play depicted the dos and don’ts when witnessing an epileptic seizure. It educated the audience on how to stay calm, protect the person from injury, and ensure they are placed safely on their side once the seizure phase is over. The play also emphasized that nothing should be placed in the per...

  TEACHING PRACTICE WEEK 4 : Monday (04/08/2025) to Friday (08/08/2025) REFLECTION ON SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 04/08/2025-Day 17 On the 17th day of my first phase of teaching practice, I reached the school by 9:00 am. After reporting to the office and signing the attendance register, I took up my assigned discipline duty in the High School section. Following the morning prayer, we settled in our allotted rooms. Since it was Monday, I did not have any subject hours scheduled. A little later, my concerned subject teacher, Renija Miss, entrusted me with the responsibility of completing the attendance register and the Noon Feeding attendance register for her class. This task was a new learning experience for me, as I wasn’t previously aware that a separate register existed specifically for noon feeding attendance. I successfully completed both registers. During the third period, I observed my peer teacher trainee’s class for 8th standard students. Overall, it was a good session. The teacher u...

VISIT TO BUDS SCHOOL – A HEARTWARMING EXPERIENCE January 30,2025 As part of our NSS activities, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit Buds School at Alayamon Panchayat.

We, a group of 43 NSS volunteers along with our teachers Jaseena Miss, Sreedevi Miss, and Prathibha Miss, traveled to the school . We reached the school at 10:30 AM and were warmly welcomed by the students and teachers. Due to space constraints, we arranged the seating outside, ensuring a comfortable setup for all. Our friend Aravind introduced us to the students, and soon we learned about their remarkable achievements. Many of them had participated in Kalolsavam and won great honors, proving their exceptional talents. The program began with a song performance by one of the students, which we all enjoyed and applauded. One student, Appu, was very active and energetic, not worrying about his disabilities.  Some small ch...
