Service Learning
Through Service learning, students identify themselves as part of the community, pick up on civic engagement skills and learn about civic responsibility. They work and for the community, developing empathy and respect and gain a deeper understanding of themselves.
Spot-Fixing
Spot-fixing is an initiative taken by students with the aim to restore Bengaluru’s pristine beauty and its status as a ‘Garden City’. They coordinate with the civic authorities to ensure that the streets around the school’s vicinity are devoid of garbage. Spots around the area are identified and beautified by painting art and planting saplings. Students also participate in educating local residents about the importance of segregating their garbage and how it is done.
Accelerate 2K18
Students of CMR National Public School organized Accelerate 2K18, a marathon event that raised funds towards spot-fixing 50,000 square feet of Bangalore Urban. As promised at the culmination of the event, students of CMRNPS came out to the streets of Bengaluru, making their contribution towards a cleaner and greener city – by planting saplings, beautifying and spot-fixing various corners of the neighbourhood.
Accelerate 2K23
Accelerate 2K23 marathon, organised by CMR NPS, took place on 12 August 2023 and carried a unique “Paws for a Cause” theme, encouraging runners to support dog adoption and animal welfare. Participants from across the school community and beyond gathered at the school grounds, laced up for a good cause, and ran in solidarity with the aim of raising awareness (and funds) for adopting stray dogs and supporting related social initiatives. The vibe was energetic, compassionate and community-oriented: children, teachers, parents and local supporters embraced the race both as a fitness challenge and as a chance to contribute to a social mission. Overall, Accelerate 2023 succeeded in blending sport, service and social consciousness, turning a marathon into a movement for kindness and action.
Charity Work
To inculcate the value of empathy, the school conducts charity work which is student’s initiated. Students raise money for charity by conducting newspaper drives, selling handmade items and paintings during school events or by donating items like stationery and groceries. Money raised from these is used to buy materials for old-age homes and orphanages. In the event of natural calamities, students volunteer to run such drives to help those in need.
In addition to this, students participate in voluntary service for WISE (Workshop for Innovation in Science Experiments), which is aimed at making learning more innovative and interesting and focuses mainly on underprivileged children. WISE was set up by two of our ex-students, Shashwat Behl and Sai Suhas K. The seeds for this campaign were sowed when these students were with us in Grade IX. Their perseverance and dedication has now borne fruit and is benefiting the children in the lower strata of society.
Environment Club
Our students, in collaboration with REAP Benefit, conducted research on the utilization of resources in school. The research led them to take steps towards saving resources in school and at home which in turn will make a difference to the Environment. Different bins are being used to segregate dry and wet waste in school.
As part of the initiative, students installed 6 water saving Jet-UPOS in the school campus. As a result, the project saves 2,63,364 litres of water every year! Unused drinking water is collected in drums at the end of every day which is used to water the plants. Students have also been creating awareness on minimal use of electricity in school and homes.
