Recreation and Sports

Everybody at some point of time likes to 'let down their hair' and be the way they like to be – just themselves, enjoying sheer ecstasy through entertainment. Children are drawn out from classrooms of 'passive feeling' to the open grounds of 'active enjoyment', when the school organizes at every week end- a film show or a picnic or a trekking camp apart from campfire dances or candle light dinners. Students and staff alike throw away inhibitions of age and status and spontaneously join in bonhomie around a bonfire!

Freedom of expression is a part of personality development. Only individuals who have attained inner freedom are capable of building a society – where freedom is realized for all!

TV Time at 9.00pm:

Can you imagine a present day generation Student without T.V entertainment? We at 'Abhyasa' do not want to deny that and hence, 9.00 pm to 10.00 pm in the evening is T.V time. Following a middle path, the students are made to watch either a news channel or cartoons and of course once in a while movies.

Saturday Night Camp Fires:

is the activity that every 'Abhyasite' looks forward to. It makes even the most reserved plunge in to a mood of moving all the limbs on the heavy rhythms that emanate from the P.A system. Feel like joining!!!

these activities are conducted by the student management groups. It could be either fun games or quiz, enriching knowledge or video clippings giving exposure to a game, art etc.

Moon Light Walks:

The term may sound very filmy, but the Abhyasa students' do experience moonlight walks on a full moon night accompanied by few staff members, Abhyasa students' take a walk moving away from the campus and the village, sometimes into the wilderness.

Live Radio on Campus:

'Abhyasa Vani', the Campus Radio airs devotional songs early in the morning to tunes from different films during the breaks apart from interviews conducted by the student RJ of either Birthday boys/girls or staff or sometimes on a parents visit day. The system is also is used to make the dining hall sessions more serene and the evenings lively. It also helps in making certain urgent announcements.

Reporting on School Journal:

Abhyasites are quiet privileged to have their own Magazine which is to, for and from the students themselves. It is an E-Magazine that contains articles and poems contributed by the students from various classes and the staff. This is edited and published by students themselves.
