Home>>Houses>>Equality

The preamble to the constitution of India elucidates “Equality” as guarantee to all its citizens’ not only political equality, but also social equality and economic equality. The social equality ensures that there is no discrimination on the grounds of economic status caste, colour and creed. It also implies equal chances and opportunities to all its citizens.

 

Equality house at NGHSS tries to imbibe the students, the qualities of non discrimination and tolerance for all. Students from various backgrounds participate in the co-curricular activities of the house and learn to be just, equitable and believe that all people have equal rights and responsibility to the earth’s resources.

 

The Junior School House Reports

 

The students of classes lll and lV are divided into four house, namely Equality, Faternity, Justice and Liberty. An Inter- House competition is held every year among the students of the four House for an overall development. The students put in their best in the competition. It helps the students to show their hidden talents. Teachers of all House contribute immensely to train the children.

Yellow colour represents the House of Equality. The Inter-House Competition began with Elocution and Story-Telling. The House bagged the 1st prize in each. Our House students stood first both in Creative Writing and Art and Craft contests. Equality House also fared well in Singing, dancing competition, One-Act play and Quiz competition.

 

I wish to conclude by mentioning that Equality House excelled in studies. Our students won the Academic Trophy for the year 2007-2008.

         

        

 

The Senior School House Reports

 

‘If we let anything get in the way of applying ourselves to our goals, its only an excuse. Success and failure are simply outcomes of our own behaviour.’

 

The year 2007-2008 has been a rather eventful year as far as Inter-House Competitions are concerned, and the House of Equality has made a grand comeback, emerging as he Champion House of the Inter House Fest 2007-2008, jointly with the House of Fraternity.

The drive, the determination and the enthusiasm was highly contagious as each and every member of the House worked in tandem in order to ensure a sure success. It needs to be mentioned that the untiring and relentless efforts on the part of the Prefects, House Captains, to the participants, who were raring to go the extra mile, have truly paid dividends.

The House of Equality was adjudged first in the English One-Act Play M’m Piatti’s Wax Works, which left the audience in splits, a comedy on mistaken identities. The junior team of the Hindi One – Act Play bagged the second position.

In the Inter House Quiz, the whiz kids in the junior category were declared the winners. In Debate and Elocution too, our teams were not far behind. In Elocution, our team topped the rest while in Debate, our team secured the third position. Ankita Parakh stood first in the junior category.

 

In the Eastern and Western Singing and Dancing Competitions, our teams did us really prod. Hironmoy Pal, moonwalked his team to the topmost position. In sports, the House of Equality secured the third position.

After a long hiatus, the House of Equality has definitely made a mark this year. Each and every member of the House, particularly the participantsn have had a firm belief in themselves and with honesty, dependability and responsibility, they have really done well for themselves, for they know that ‘success is a marathon and not a sprint.’
