INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS

 International Day of Older Persons Celebration at Sabarigiri College

OCTOBER 1, 2024

On October 1, 2024, Sabarigiri College celebrated International Day of Older Persons, aligning with the global theme: “Ageing with Dignity: The Importance of Strengthening Care and Support Systems for Older Persons Worldwide.” This day, designated by the United Nations in December 1990, emphasizes understanding, respecting, and supporting the contributions and rights of older individuals in society.

Population ageing is a significant global trend reshaping communities. The day serves to highlight the need for promoting the well-being and dignity of older persons, addressing issues like age discrimination, healthcare access, and the creation of supportive environments. It also celebrates the achievements of older adults and their active participation in social, economic, and political spheres.

At Sabarigiri College, NSS volunteers, under the guidance of NSS Coordinator Jaseena Miss, marked the occasion by taking an oath to affirm their commitment to the care and support of older individuals. The pledge, led by NSS volunteer Ameena, emphasized the importance of treating older people with dignity and ensuring their well-being. This thoughtful initiative reflects the college’s dedication to fostering awareness and responsibility towards the older generation, encouraging a culture of respect and care in the community.

  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.

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...

One student, Appu, was very active and energetic, not worrying about his disabilities.  Some small ch...
