    FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

    Dear Readers,

    Through the countless untold efforts of many, it brings great joy for

    all of us at The Ashok Leyland School, Hosur to release ‗ALS Diary

    2015– 2016‟. We have almost reached the fag end of this academic

    year. Though the horizon looms over us casting its shadow, the hope

    of a new day yet to begin brings us new hope, love and joy. There

    are many untold stories, unceasing efforts, many victorious mo-

    ments and much more that has to be captured that have left a lasting

    impression amongst us and we all bear witness to the same. But

    merely keeping the same in our hearts won‘t bear testimony of the

    deeds that our school has accomplished.

    Thus, in this issue we have tried to collate all the events, activities,

    and to put the same into words thus showcasing to the world what

    we have been up to because if we remain silent the hard efforts put

    in by many would just linger in our memories and not be public. We

    also would like to appreciate all the hard work put in by all the

    members of the magazine committee, which is highly laudable.

    PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

    A picture

    is worth a thousand

    words. When the picture

    is a photograph, a sense of

    reality is achieved in that

    the colours, size, and de-

    tails or the composition

    are real. Photography may

    be a more effective and

    reasonably inexpensive

    alternative to drawing or

    painting, but its indeed an

    art that has a wide ocean

    of opportunities.To en-

    hance the skills of our stu-

    dents , Cannon Pvt.Ltd, Bangalore conducted a workshop on photog-

    raphy for the high school students aiming to develop the art of clicking

    WORKSHOP ON GENDER SENSITIVITY

    Gender sensitivity is the act of being aware of the ways people think about gen-

    der, so that individuals rely less on assumptions about traditional and outdated

    views on the roles of men and women. Gender sensitizing "is about changing

    behaviour and instilling empathy into the views that we hold about our own and

    the other gender."It helps people in "examining their personal attitudes and be-

    liefs and questioning the 'realities' they thought they know.‖ Thus a Workshop

    on Gender Sensitivity was conducted to our students of class IX by Mr Sanketh,

    an Intern in the Department of Education, Azim Premji University between

    8.09.2015 and 11.09.2015.

    A Workshop on Parent and Child Relationship

    Parents and their children hold a special relationship with each other. The rela-

    tionship between parents and their children has a great effect on the child's

    life. The philosophy of parent-

    ing determines children's devel-

    opment and the parent-child

    relationship. The use of this

    program forms a strong emo-

    tional bond fora parent - child

    relationship. A workshop on

    Parent and Child Relationship

    was conducted by our school

    Psychologist Dr Babu Rangara-

    jan for the parents of classes XI and XII. It was facilitated by Mr Balachandran

    of JAG.

    For the overall development of a child, curriculum is not only the single criteria. The holistic growth as

    well as to develop the various facets of personality development of children, classroom teaching should

    be supplemented by co-curricular activities. These out of class activities affect all domains of life , such

    as cognitive (intellectual), emotional, social, moral, cultural and aesthetic.

    Co-curricular activities meaning are more focused upon cognitive aspects thereby help in intellectual

    development. Co-curricular activities not only make the students active and energetic, but also unable to

    harness the in-depth potential of students. It enhances knowledge in many domains, which benefits the

    student as well as the school.

    A SESSION ON YOGA

    Yoga means union of the individual consciousness

    or soul with the Universal Consciousness or Spirit.

    Though many think of yoga only as a physical exer-

    cise where people twist, turn, stretch, and breathe in

    the more complex ways, these are actually only the

    most superficial aspect of this profound science of

    unfolding the infinite potentials of the human mind

    and soul. A session on Yoga was conducted by Ms

    Chitra and Ms Prathiba, Yoga Teachers of our

    school, for interested teachers of our school.

    nized on 5.10.2015 by SPICMACAY. Vocal artiste Mr
