As the year draws to a close, Stepping Stones High School
becomes a hive of vibrant activity with our annual festival, a highlight in our
calendar that elicits enthusiastic participation from schools across India and
beyond. This festival stands as the crowning jewel of our institution, where
children from diverse educational backgrounds come together, forging bonds that
transcend the walls of their schools.
This majestic three-day
fest is a celebration of unity in diversity, showcasing a rich tapestry of
cultures and a confluence of talents. It's a time of alacrity and exuberance,
where excitement and excellence are not just seen but felt in the air.
We've had the honor of hosting
institutions from far and wide, including Kathmandu, Dubai, Turkey, and
Karachi, making this event a truly international affair. Additionally, renowned
schools from across India, including New Delhi, Kolkata, Indore, Udaipur, Mumbai,
Pune, Kalyani Nagar, Ahmedabad, Jalna, and our own Aurangabad, have graced this
grand event with their presence. Each institution brings its unique flavor,
adding to the rich mosaic of this extraordinary celebration.
Steppers are enriched with life skills during their school years. The
term ‘life skills’ refers to the skills you need to make the most out of
your life. Any skill that is useful in your life can be considered a
life skill. The school offers a plethora of opportunities through
various clubs and provides a platform for the overall development of the
students. The students are encouraged to choose the clubs according to
their interest.
In the cooking club, the art of cooking has been
taught to the children along with the Food Pyramid so that children
learn the importance of healthy food while learning to be self reliant.
Down the years we have added to the repertoire of skills to be imbibed.
We also teach pottery, carpentry and paper making where the students
learn to focus on real-world tools and knowledge. We have an Agriculture
club where children learn the various methods of growing crops and it
familiarizes the students with farming practices. Art and craft, drama,
dance, public speaking, music and robotics are some of the life skills
we encourage at Stepping Stones. In our Crochet and Stitching clubs, the
students learn how to thread a needle and also practice different types
of hand stitches like running stitch, back stitch, hemming, cross
stitch. Our quiz club aims at identifying students and creating
opportunities for them to sharpen their quizzing skills. The Creative
Writing Club provides a forum to aspiring authors to write, edit, and
illustrate their own stories while the Language Club encourages the
students to to learn a foreign language and we have experienced tutors
who inspire them to speak it in a relaxed environment. Our Eco club
plays an important role in creating environmental awareness amongst the
future generation. Other clubs of the school include Debate, Drama,
Dance, Music, Science, Horse Riding, and Archery Clubs.
