Community
While ample opportunities are offered to play, explore and have fun, The Deens Institutions also strive to foster a sense of social responsibility in its students by encouraging them to view world problems in terms how they can contribute. We do this by involving our students in a series of community service projects – this sparks off a willingness in children to reach out and help others and think about the big picture. The goal of getting students to participate in outreach activities is to help them make the connection ‘from me to the world’ and see themselves as an intrinsic part of their community. Ultimately, our goal is to help our students be knowledgeable, responsible, socially skilled, healthy, caring, and contributing citizens of the world.
A group of PUC students visited “ASHIRWAD SEWA ASHRAM ” which is located in Halasahalli and spent a day educating and entertaining the children with various activities.
Environment
Environmental consciousness is integral to our enrichment agenda. The focus of this programme is to help children realise how their immediate choices and behaviours impact the future of the planet. We educate our students about ecology and empower them with ecologically intelligent values like sustainable living and responsible consumption. We encourage a hands-on involvement with environmental issues. We do this through interactions with experts in the field, attendance at events and symposia, encouraging writing about contemporary problems, putting up street plays and participating in public dialogue. Through these many avenues students begin to understand the importance of caring for the environment and feel responsible towards its upkeep. Several of our students are currently spearheading projects on water conservation, pollution reduction and other environmental concerns. The Saahas e-waste drive is one program the children participated in.
