​Beyond the Bell: A Symphony of Skills on the 3rd Bag-Free Day

Published On: April 18, 2026

The school’s third Bag-Free Day, held on 18th April, provided a vibrant departure from traditional textbook learning, allowing students to explore their creative and practical potential. The initiative aims to reduce the academic burden for a day while fostering essential life skills through hands-on participation.

By stepping away from a standard curriculum, the school created an environment where students could focus on dexterity, patience, and the value of manual labour.
​For the younger students in classes 1 to 3, the day was dedicated to foundational life skills and artistic exploration. Activities included the tactile art of pottery and the precision required for envelope making and book wrapping. These sessions were designed to improve fine motor skills and teach organizational habits, ensuring that even the youngest learners begin to understand the importance of self-reliance and caring for their personal belongings.

​The senior students in classes 4 to 9 engaged in more complex vocational tasks, such as bamboo craft, mushroom production, and door mat making. These activities introduced the pupils to sustainable materials and agricultural techniques, offering a glimpse into potential entrepreneurial paths. By learning to transform raw materials into finished products, the students gained a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship and the technical processes involved in small-scale production.

​The event was highlighted by a visit from respected leadership, including Head of Projects Mrs. Rekha Thakur, along with Mrs. Rupa Singha Roy and Mrs. Shabnam Khan. The officials toured the various activity stations, observing the students’ progress and the quality of their work. Mrs. Thakur and the visiting guests expressed great happiness and pride, noting that such vocational training is instrumental in equipping students with the practical expertise needed for their future endeavors.
