Shishya hosts a number of competitions for the students throughout the year. This helps in building child’s self-confidence and it is also an opportunity for the child to become aware of his/her abilities. The competitions are both curricular and co-curricular.
Spell-Bee competition: The school also has a spell bee competition for students from class 3 onward. The children have to learn a list of spellings over a period of one month. The level of difficulty increases with each class. All the children go through a selection round and on the day of the competition the selected children have to spell the words being called out by the judges. The classes are divided into three categories – junior, sub-junior and senior and a winner is announced for each category.
Classes 3 and above have Inter House competitions: Students from class 3 and above are part of one of the four houses and have opportunity to participate in inter-house competitions. The aim is to teach the importance of team work rather than individual success. Some of the competitions for the higher classes are poster competition, skit, debate, etc.
