PrinciPal’s message Be the change you wish to see in this world – Mahatma Gandhi On every surface we walk through, we must leave our mark. No matter what the situation, we must continue to do our duties. We at KRM believe that all the individuals have the capacity to improve and learn. All people develop at different rates and have expertise in a wide range of subject areas with unique learning styles. Assessment of this learning takes a variety of forms. We trigger their curiosity and encourage them to step into unfamiliar grounds without fear. This gives a student an edge over their peers, as they are taught not to fear failure and that failure is an important step towards achievement. We make learning an enjoyable experience that can never be forgotten but provides points of reference in one’s future. “You must discover what you are made for, and you must work indefatigably to achieve excellence in your field of endeavour” Indeed we continue to inculcate an excellence mindset and strong ethics in our pupils through every phase of school life. The academic curriculum, school routines, rituals and traditions, discipline, co- curricular activities, service learning, and teachable moments all become opportunities to develop the full range of assets needed for an ethical, productive, and fulfilling life. Each issue of our school magazine is a milestone that marks our growth, unfolds our imaginations, and gives life to our thoughts and aspirations. It unleashes a wide spectrum of creative skills ranging from writing to editing and even in designing the magazine. EDITORIAL From the Editor’s Desk Learn from yesterday; hope for tomorrow and live for today!!! Education isn’t about how much you’ve committed to memory, or how much you know. It’s about being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t. K.R. Mangalam World School initiates this notion and helps the learners to imbibe the positive thoughts. We are ready to take up new challenges and fulfill our aspirations. Keeping up with this thought, a myriad of activities were conducted during this month.

INTER-HOUSE YOGA COMPETITION The true essence of Yoga revolves around elevating the life force or ‘Kundalini’ at the base of the spine. It aims to achieve this through a series of physical and mental exercises. At the physical level, the methods comprise various yoga postures or ‘asanas’ that aim to keep the body healthy. The mental techniques include breathing exercises or ‘pranayama’ and meditation or ‘dhyana’ to discipline the mind. The ultimate goal of yoga is, however, to help the individual to transcend the self and attain enlightenment. As the Bhagavad-Gita says, “A person is said to have achieved yoga, the union with the Self, when the perfectly disciplined mind gets freedom from all desires, and becomes absorbed in the Self alone.” Keeping this in mind the school organized the Inter-House Yoga Competition, on the 28th of August, 2015 to instil in the students the desire to follow this magnificent art of maintaining a healthy mind within a healthy body. All the four houses put up a breath taking performance with manoeuvres that would make the heart skip a beat. The excellent coordination between the participants was worth applauding. The results of the competition are as follows: Juniors- 1st: Emerald House 2nd: Topaz House Seniors- 1st: Sapphire House 2nd: Topaz House PRE SCHOOL REPORT VISITs DEER PARK The students of Pre School went for an educational trip to Deer Park.
