The event began with a soulful prayer hymn sung by Mrs. Aparna, followed by a warm and cordial welcome extended by the senior teacher, Mrs. Sujatha Rai.
In her keynote address, Headmistress of SVVN, Mrs. Likhita Kotary, emphasized the importance of regular interactions between parents and teachers to monitor and enhance the academic progress and well-being of the students. She also highlighted the progress made by the school - additions to both infrastructure and learning facilities during the first semester. While thanking the management, especially the Correspondent, she requested the parents to cooperate and encourage their children to make the best use of additional tuition hours, sports, and cultural activities conducted on campus for the benefit of their wards.
A special session was held for the parents, addressed by Mr. Ashok Kumar Shetty, Secretary of BES. Being a versatile teacher and headmaster, he stressed the importance of consistent preparation and continuous learning to achieve academic success, particularly in the upcoming board examinations and lower classes. He urged students to approach their studies with interest and dedication. He explained the need for parents to sacrifice some time for their children at home, emphasizing that the all-round growth of children is a collective responsibility of pupils, parents, and teachers. "Let us work together to ensure that every child realizes their full potential. After all, education is not just about securing grades but about instilling values, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for learning," Mr. Shetty observed.
The most attractive part of the session was an insightful talk by the resource person, Mrs. Savita Yermal, a well-known trainer serving in Government PU College in Brahmavar. Earlier, Mrs. Suveda introduced the resource person to the audience.
Highlights of the talk:
"As parents and teachers, we are united by a shared goal: the holistic development and well-being of our children. Together, we hold the responsibility to shape their future, not just academically but also emotionally and socially."
She continued, "Today, I would like to emphasize the significance of collaboration between parents and educators. A strong partnership fosters a nurturing environment where students can thrive. Open communication, mutual respect, and understanding are the pillars of this relationship." She encouraged parents to stay actively involved in their child's educational journey, to attend meetings like this, discuss their progress with teachers, and participate in school activities. "Your involvement reinforces the value of education in their lives and boosts their confidence."
To the teachers, Mrs. Savita said, "As a woman, I commend your tireless efforts in guiding and inspiring the students. Your role extends beyond imparting knowledge—it is about building character, fostering curiosity, and shaping future citizens."
Mr. P. Archibald Furtado, Administration Coordinator of the National Group of Educational Institutions, also graced the occasion. In his short message, he lauded the SVVN School's excellent teaching and best learning environment and advised parents to make the best use of these resources in their own interest, taking home the tips shared by Mr. Ashok Kumar Shetty and Mrs. Savita Yermal.
