Extra Curricular Activities
Holistic development of children with a focus on their physical, emotional, intellectual and social development and well-being is central to NFBM Jagriti School for Blind Girls. This is sought to be achieved through diverse opportunities for students to go beyond the learning of core academic subjects. The breadth of sports and co-curricular activities that the School offers; the participation of students in various competitions, and so on, reflect our school's commitment to children's well-rounded development.
We offer Computer Education, English and German language coaching, Orientation and Mobility, Indian Music, Behavioral Coaching, and Value Education.
Sports and Physical Education is the USP of our school. We take pride in announcing that our school is the only Blind school in India that plays table tennis. Participating against the normally-sighted students, our students win many medals every year.
Promoting experiential and exploratory methods of learning; encouraging the appreciation and practice of our school's core values; participation of students, starting from kindergarten, in the annual day productions; fostering digital literacy among students; facilitating exchange programmes with other schools; providing opportunities for leadership and entrepreneurship development; and using technology for teaching and learning, are some of the many efforts that result in students' holistic development.
Presentations, role-plays, small skits, and impromptu debates go a long way in developing students' ability to express themselves confidently and build on their knowledge and skills. Students have a variety of out-of-classroom activities and experiences such as theatre, reading sessions, skilling workshops, robotics, cricket, table tennis, basketball, taekwondo, and many more. Community service helps sensitise children to the values of being compassionate and empathetic towards others' challenging situations and unique needs.
Our alumni pursue diverse fields in higher education and their career choices encompass a wide crosssection of professional pursuits - as social entrepreneurs, musicians, bankers, teachers, social workers, IT professionals, - this is a testament to our emphasis on providing children with a holistic education.
