PRIMARY

When a vision comes to life

The Primary section at New Activity School was the obvious next step in the rich and gregarious history of the institution. Legend is that Mrs Doongaji was repeatedly almost accosted by demanding parents wanting their children to continue with the same brand of expert tutelage as they steadily climbed up the academic ladder.

The Primary section takes forward the exemplary work done in the pre-primary and exceeds expectations in terms of extracurricular activities offered and executed.

This goes a long way in making the child more socially confident and ensures that there is never a feeling of being left out. The School also has the distinction of celebrating every single major festival in the country including Holi, Janmashtami, Id, Diwali, Navroze and Christmas.

COMPETITIONS
The Primary section believes in exposing the children to healthy contests and several disciplines, and they are subjected to regular and competitive jousts of both the mind and the body. Disciplines vary and are picked to develop skills and talents across a broad spectrum. These are innovative concepts aimed at developing hobbies which may one day go on to becoming bludgeoning careers. Children are encouraged by being awarded regular certificates of merit.
