Christ Nagar Hr Sec School – CISCE

Class Assemblies are conducted with the aim in mind that by participating in class assemblies, students develop their communication and public speaking skills. They learn to articulate their thoughts, express themselves confidently, and effectively convey their messages to an audience, essential skills for personal and professional success.

Class assemblies offer opportunities for students to take on leadership roles, such as organizing, planning, and leading the assembly. This helps develop leadership qualities, such as responsibility, initiative, and teamwork, preparing students for future leadership roles in various aspects of their lives.

Class assemblies can also serve as educational platforms where students showcase their learning, share knowledge, and raise awareness about important topics or issues. This allows students to engage in meaningful discussions, expand their understanding of various subjects, and contribute to their overall academic development. Participating in class assemblies through performances, presentations, or other roles helps students build confidence and self-esteem. The positive feedback and support they receive from peers and teachers boost their self-confidence, encouraging them to explore their talents and abilities further.

Class assemblies provide a platform to reinforce school values, ethos, and expectations. Through inspirational speeches, stories, and activities, students are reminded of the importance of integrity, respect, responsibility, and other core values, helping to create a positive school culture that reflects these principles.

Class assemblies play a vital role in schools by fostering a sense of community, developing essential skills, celebrating achievements, promoting cultural awareness, providing educational opportunities, building confidence, and reinforcing school values. They contribute to creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally

The theme of our class assembly is ‘Be the Change. Be the change you want to see. Change your thoughts and you will change your world.’ Be the change you want to see in the world.’ is a portion of a larger famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi. But very few are aware of this. When things change inside you, things around you will also start to change. Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you can, but do not forget to take the step and make that change. One should not wait for others to make changes to the world for the better, instead should take initiative and responsibility to do it by oneself.

Remember the only constant in life is change. Change is hard at first, messy in the middle but gorgeous at the end. We do not need magic to change the world. We carry all the powers inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better. When a photographer can’t change his scene, he changes his angles and lens to capture the best out of the scene. Similarly when you cannot change a situation in your life, change your perspective and mindset to get the best out of that situation. Never underestimate the power which you have with which you can take your life in a new direction. Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable and remove yourself from the unacceptable. If you change nothing, nothing will change. In conclusion, be the change you want to see in this world.

The moon landing. The Indian Independence. The American Civil War. The discovery of penicillin. All these incidents and historical events have one thing in common. They all began with a vision. A vision which sprouted from the most contagious, most powerful, and most fascinating thing known to the human mind – An idea. This idea manifested and grew in the mind of a person until it became a dream.

Class 7R presents before you the theme of our assembly Rever Grand, which means Dreaming Big.

Dreaming big is not just about having wild fantasies or chasing unrealistic goals. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what we believe is possible. It’s about setting audacious goals and working tirelessly to achieve them.

When we dream big, we discover the incredible power of human potential. We look beyond the obstacles and limitations that might surround us and focus on the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. Dreaming big isn’t reserved for the chosen few; it’s a birthright of every individual. It’s the force that has driven humanity to achieve its greatest accomplishments.

Consider some of history’s most remarkable achievements. From landing on the moon to inventing life-saving medical technologies, every one of these accomplishments started as a dream, as a bold idea in the mind of someone who dared to think big.

Dreaming big is not without its challenges. It requires courage, resilience, and hard work. It demands that we keep pushing forward, even when faced with adversity or setbacks. But it’s precisely in those moments of struggle that we often find our greatest strength and innovation.

When one person dares to dream, it inspires others to do the same. Our collective dreams have the power to shape our future and drive positive change in the world. Whether it’s tackling global issues like climate change or pursuing personal goals, dreaming big is the first step toward making a difference.

So, as we conclude, we encourage every one of you to embrace the idea of “Rever Grand” in your own lives. Don’t be afraid to dream big, to set audacious goals, and to work tirelessly to achieve them. Together, we can create a world where our boldest dreams become our proudest achievements.

 Isn’t the rainbow beautiful with its vibrant colours?

Rainbows are a symbol of hope, unity, beauty and diversity. Their appearance is often associated with hopes and promises. After a storm, when the sun breaks through the clouds, the rainbow can serve as a visual reminder that better days will follow difficult ones.

Yes, there’s always a rainbow after the rain.

There comes a point in all our lives when we realize that the darkest moments were the most beautiful times and then we will see the rainbow shining through our lives. Follow every rainbow till you find your dream.

But, have you ever thought “What do these Rainbows signify?”, that is a very important question that we have to ponder over.

We always expect the seven colours of the Rainbow to appear after a violent storm.

 Now let’s unravel the magic in “VIBGYOR”.

 Violet symbolizes spirit, Indigo symbolizes harmony, Blue symbolizes calmness, Green symbolizes the growth of nature, Yellow symbolizes hope and happiness, Orange symbolizes healing and Red symbolizes love.

A covenant between God and man in Christianity and an arch of thunder in Hinduism.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, people hung rainbows in front of their houses to show that hope is still there for all of us to recover from the clutches of the deadly pandemic.

As we stand in the corridors of our great and blessed school, a rainbow unfolds, students with different natures, talents and backgrounds gathering at Christ Nagar displaying their oneness and unity like the colours of a rainbow.

Try to be the rainbow in someone’s cloud today.

Let’s be a RAY OF HOPE. Let’s be the “RAINBOW”

We have all heard the names of people like Hitler, Mary Kom, A. P. J  Abdul Kalam and Abraham Lincoln. There is one common personality that binds them together. That is,  believing that nothing is impossible. They do not barricade themselves with imaginary limitations. For them, not even the sky’s the limit. Hitler influenced a whole country of people with his way of thinking. Mary Kom faced resistance from all quarters against pursuing her dreams including her father. She did not lose hope and tried harder and harder, not listening to the naysayers in her midst but trying even harder until she reached her goal. Abdul Kamal grew up in the depths of poverty. His first rocker’s parts were carried to the ground in a bicycle! Yet, he proved himself to the world and now, he is called “The Rocket Man Of India”.

Abraham Lincoln faced conditions similar to that of Abdul Kalam. He grew up in hard conditions but he didn’t let that bother him. He went on to become the president two times in a row. All these famous people are examples of how setting imaginary barriers is the fail-safe way to lose before you start. How things which were once thought impossible were made possible by their hard work and perseverance. This implies a direct message to us. That not a single thing is impossible in this world and if we put our heart and soul into what we do, anything is possible!

When an object of common use, like a cup or saucer, cracks or catches stain it is discarded at once without a second thought. There is no reason to think otherwise. Unless there is a personal affinity no one would preserve the broken pieces of a ceramic. To a certain extent, this is the reflection of the pulse of society. Generally, only what’s worth having is valued and kept and even a slight variation in the dimensions of an object from the normal standards is considered a flaw.

Contrary to this idea is the Japanese art of Kintsugi which refers to a process by which broken ceramics are fixed using a mix of lacquer, powdered gold, silver or platinum. This results in a design of intricate veins which run around the repaired object. These irregular lines are not seen as flaws but as a beauty element.

The art of Kintsugi, which means ‘golden joinery’, is thought to have begun sometime in the 15th century in Japan as craftsmen tried to find a method of repairing ceramics that would produce aesthetically pleasing creations.

Kintsugi’s significance is not limited to the field of restoring broken ceramics, it’s a thought-provoking notion that can be applied to our lives. For example, Kintsugi is related to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi which states the importance of embracing imperfections in our lives.

The most immediate lesson that can be learned from Kintsugi is that we need to think carefully before designating something as useless. All resources are valuable and should therefore be treated accordingly. It also encourages us to live humbly and eliminate our tendency to focus on materialism.

Kintsugi teaches us to celebrate imperfections and that as human beings, imperfections are inevitable, whether in appearance, character or actions. Learning to accept our flaws is a process that will lead to a deeper sense of peace and fulfilment.

Accepting imperfections helps us to break free from the obsession of perfectionism which causes unnecessary stress and inhibiting creativity and productivity. The philosophy of Kintsugi art can potentially improve life in modern society. All we need to do is identify the areas where it can be effectively applied.

The 15th-century practice of kintsugi, meaning “to join with gold”, is a reminder to stay optimistic when things fall apart and to celebrate the flaws and missteps of life. I want to conclude with this quote by Leonard Cohen, “There’s a crack in everything. That’s how light gets in.”
