The break you take from work pay you back
manifold with a fresher mind and newer thinking. Considering the importance of
learning beyond the four walls of classroom and to enable students to have
enriched experience an educational tour to Chhatbir zoo and Rock garden,
Chandigarh was organized by HMV Collegiate Sr. Sec. School under the dynamic
guidance of Principal Dr(Mrs.) Ajay Sareen and kind support of School
Coordinator Mrs. Meenakshi Sayal. Total 52 students of SSC-I and SSC-II
participated in the trip. Students visited Chhatbir Zoo, which is a natural
habitat of a variety of flora and fauna, located near Zirakpur. The students
closely observed variety of animals, enjoyed the scenic beauty of the park and
had a great time learning about the various species and their habitats.
Thereafter, students visited Rock Garden, which was again a delighting
experience to see creative stuff made out of recycled material spread over an
area of 40 acres. The complex interlinked courtyards were filled with hundreds
of pottery- covered concrete sculptures of dancers, musicians and animals which
held the students captive throughout. The students captured the moments of
clicking selfies and photographs with their friends. Stressing upon the
important of educational trips, Principal Dr. Sareen said that an interest
driven learning experience always offers better results than curriculum driven
experiences. School Coordinator Mrs. Meenakshi Sayal also encouraged the
students to acquire a more integrated information through new experiences.
Faculty members of Collegiate School Mrs. Upma Gupta, Ms. Arvinder Kaur, Ms.
Sukriti, and Ms. Richa accompanied the students in the trip.
