Agomoni Program

25/09/2022

Welcoming Mother-Agomoni


My city, dear friend, is the abode of Mother,

The home of her sons and her many daughters,

So when she visits once a year,

Religions tend to shed their colour

And walk together for a sight of her. 


Durga Puja is personal, heart-warming, and joyous. Our school students celebrated the advent of Mother through music, dance and festivities while setting the perfect stage for the five-day extravaganza that followed.

From The Vice Principal’s Desk

1/01/1970

National Gems Higher Secondary School had opened its doors to children from the neighbourhood for quality education. The core philosophy of the school ever since has remained unchanged. Over the years many of our students have made us proud by their sheer dint of perseverance towards excellence. Their bond and love for the school speaks of the care and understanding received by them from dedicated teachers over the years.

I cherish my long association with the school seeing it grow from strength to strength, be it in terms of infrastructure, facilities or extra-curricular activities for students. It has truly been amazing. At every stage under the able guidance of the School Management and the school Principal, this institution has reached several milestones.

This is a school where walking through its gates has been described as homecoming by teachers and students alike. I pray that with continued support from all associated with the school, we will attain greater heights in the years to come.

The School

1/01/1970

National Gems School was founded in 1968 with an objective to spread the light of knowledge and information to all segments of the society.

The Shaw Education Foundation was formed in 1993 and the journey of National Gems Higher Secondary School saw the breaking of a new dawn. It shifted to a new campus which now houses the Junior School that caters to the Pre-Primary (Lower Nursery to Kindergarten) and Primary (Class I to IV) sections. A phenomenal growth followed the affiliation of the school to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi, in 1995. This necessitated a bigger space to meet the growing demand. Hence, classes V to XII were relocated to a new campus with the infrastructure and facility required to make learning effective, meaningful and result oriented. Since then National Gems has been growing in its popularity and reputation in imparting quality education that is proved every year in its excellent results in both ICSE and ISC Examinations (Science and Commerce) along with strong discipline and values in every student. The School Management thus nurtures the vision of a holistic development to ensure that no individual is left behind in this highly competitive world with a fast changing global scenario.

WISDOM WITH KNOWLEDGE

“We have at our disposal different and complementary means of obtaining truth, an intuitive as well as intellectual expansion of human mind. We must acquire WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE, penetration of reality and a profound grasp of the nature of things”.

DR. S. RADHAKRISHNAN

OUR MISSION AND VISION

The purpose of education is to combine intelligence and character to prepare an individual for life. The mission and vision of NGHSS is to provide such an opportunity to its students that enables each one to discover the genius that lies latent within and work progressively towards his/her goal.

Notice

From The Principal’s Desk

1/01/1970

The mission and vision of every school is to educate the child. By education we do not mean the mere accumulation of degrees. Education means knowledge which builds up an individuality and commands respect everywhere. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi – education draws out the best in the child – in body, mind and spirit. It commands a refinement of thoughts, ideas and words. It builds up efficiency and efficacy. But in the present day context, when there is a boom in technology, immense care is required to filter knowledge and its use. As teachers, educators and care – givers, our constant endeavour is to focus on the positive aspect of technology and use it to our advantage. Our internal plan therefore is to guide our students to make a positive use of technology for nurturing a creative mind. We envision a holistic development in every child. Our focus is not just an academic excellence but also on co – curricular activities and thus “to hold high our banner.”
