To facilitate a smooth transition into the primary schooling years, an Academic Orientation Programme was organized for the parents of Grades 1 and 2 students on 13th June 2026 ahead of the new academic session. Led by School Principal Dr. Rosemin Belim, the session provided parents with a comprehensive look at the upcoming academic roadmap, foundational learning strategies, and school policies.
The transition from pre-primary to Grades 1 and 2 marks a crucial developmental milestone as children step into structured literacy, numeracy, and independent routines. The orientation aimed to equip parents with actionable insights to support their children effectively at home.
Bridging Home and School for Primary Learners
Addressing the assembled parents, Principal Dr. Rosemin Belim highlighted the importance of establishing consistent habits and encouraging curiosity during these foundational years.
Dr. Belim emphasized that early primary education should prioritize conceptual understanding and active participation over passive learning, encouraging parents to build a supportive, pressure-free learning environment at home.
During the session, the school administration and primary department heads outlined key aspects of the Grade 1 and 2 curriculum and campus life:
Academic Framework & Pedagogy: Introduction to the foundational curriculum, focusing on phonics, reading comprehension, basic mathematics, and activity-based learning.
Skill & Co-Curricular Integration: Details on structured physical activities, mass drills, fine motor exercises, creative arts, and foundational safety awareness modules.
Assessment & Feedback: Overview of continuous, stress-free evaluation methods designed to track progress and individual skill development rather than performance pressure.
Routine & Homework Guidelines: Guidance on establishing daily study routines, reducing screen time, and promoting independent habits like reading and self-organization.
The programme concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where parents raised queries regarding classroom routines, subject-wise learning expectations, and school transportation. Dr. Belim along with the Grade 1 and 2 faculty members addressed all concerns, reassuring parents of the school’s commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
Parents expressed appreciation for the detailed guidance, noting that the session gave them clarity on what to expect in the coming year. The orientation ended on an enthusiastic note, laying a strong foundation for a collaborative and successful academic year ahead.
