Leadership

The Orbis Schools enlists and guides the talents, energies and aspirations of students to higher levels of achievement through opportunities of leadership, constantly nurturing, improving and reforming personalities to take on larger roles at leadership.

      Monitor System- Class Level
Nominated monitors for each class-division are entrusted with responsibilities of Discipline, Education, Health and Hygiene and Traffic and Transport. This system provides opportunities for every student from young ages to step up to positions of limited leadership. Emphasis is laid on maximum opportunity i.e. all children must be given opportunities at leadership as far as possible.

       Prefectorial Board - Senior Classes

Towards the last quarter of the academic year, an exciting phenomenon begins to churn: the air is heavy with aspirations, ambitions taking wings in the form of opportunities in leadership.

A nominating committee consisting of the Principal, Vice Principal, Headmistress, Coordinators and respective Class and Subject teachers identifies a set of students to don the mantle of House Prefects to shoulder the responsibilities of ministry portfolios of Discipline, Education, Health and Hygiene, Traffic and Transport and shall guide and mentor the class monitors. Another set of students from the senior-most class are nominated to contest elections to the coveted posts of School Captain, School Vice-Captain, House Captain and Vice House Captain. 

Here on the excitement begins to gain momentum; the canvassing begins, posters add to the colours on the notice boards, speeches are delivered at assemblies, candidates reveal their plans and demonstrate their oratory skills at debates, all of this culminating in the casting of the ballot and the declaration of the results and finally the formation of the Prefectorial Board.

The prefects actively guide, motivate and train their respective houses towards a superlative performance in all the competitions for the coveted Orb of Fame Trophy.

    Cabinet System
Headed by the School Captain and assisted by the Vice School Captain, the cabinet consists of the House Prefects and all Class Monitors achieving an efficient, productive and harmonious school environment. They meet as an entire cabinet or as ministries to take stock of the situation and make recommendations to the Principal for approval and final implementation.

Field Trips

Field trips enrich learning and provide additional opportunities for children to widen their experiential learning. Through these trips our students improve visual literacy as they observe and get experience outside their regular activities. Students get a chance to correlate classroom lessons to real-life experiences and tangible artefacts. 

The Orbis Schools carefully curate these field trips keeping in mind, safety, security and the opportunities to learn. Our experience has shown that students grasp and retain better when they are exposed to the off site environments and when they learn outside the confines of their classrooms. 

Field Trips give access to culture, history, and art that may be left out of the regular curriculum. A wide variety of trips are planned for students right from plant nurseries and post offices in pre-primary to science parks, historical monuments, museums, bakeries and factories in senior classes.
