AURUM THE GLOBAL SCHOOL-Annual Report 2024-2025

"We want education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one’s own feet."- Swami Vivekanand

Education is the most powerful tool to build a strong, inclusive, and progressive society. At Aurum The Global School, we have consistently endeavoured to groom children into confident individuals equipped with life skills, academic excellence, and a global perspective. With great pride, we reflect on a year of achievements, milestones, and meaningful experiences that helped shape young minds for a brighter tomorrow.

The academic session 2024–25 was a landmark one as we celebrated 12 remarkable years of dedication to nurturing excellence. From modest beginnings, we have evolved into an institution of repute—known for academic strength, cultural vibrancy, and value-based education.

Curriculum:

Our curriculum continues to be a carefully designed balance of academic rigour, value education, and skill development. With a child-centric and experiential approach, the school ensures holistic development by incorporating innovation, critical thinking, life skills, and collaborative learning from early grades onward.

We introduced life skills modules for practical learning—teaching students essentials such as laundry, cleanliness, folding clothes, and more. Our movie curriculum till Class 8 remains a key part of our values-based education.

• International Dance Day:
  Dance is a kind of expression, a means of using music to express oneself. The relevance of numerous dance forms around the world is astounding because dance connects the spirit in an instant. International Dance Day was eagerly anticipated and celebrated at Aurum. A unique assembly was held by junior students to highlight the value of dancing in our lives.

• National Days:
  Other National Days such as Independence Day, Yoga Day, Republic Day, were accorded appropriate prominence, and ceremonies were held to remind students of their importance.
• Parents-Mentors Interaction:
  We have tremendous parental support, which we value every year. The Parents-Mentors Interaction provides an opportunity to thank them for their contributions to the school. We held a number of virtual meetings with parents to discuss the teaching and learning process. Parents were also called physically after school reopening to meet the teachers on days set out for the Parents-Mentors Interaction.

Inter-house events:

The school held a variety of Inter-House Competitions throughout the year to develop team spirit and cultural understanding among students.

Various virtual and physical enrichment activities were held for teachers during the session.
Regular staff meetings were held to assess performance and prepare for the future with more innovative teaching and learning approaches.

Examinations:
