 Our school, the Lawrence School Sangha, aims to produce a well-rounded, self-confident, positive young person with the following attributes. An inquiring and fearless mind, respectful of others' viewpoints, believes in the values of social justice and equality, leadership skills across the spectrum social, political, commercial, and cultural, and the ability to stand for others and self. Now, I believe these are the prerequisites of a successful person in the 21st century, and definitely I am in line with our school's vision and definitely I shall build on our great traditions and promote 21st century skills so that scenarios who go out of our portals are an asset to society and will do well in whichever field they take part in. Thank you so much. Himat, being one of the oldest schools in Asia, there are many traditions and a long history that we need to take into consideration. How do you think you will balance your vision with the mission of the school? That's a lovely question because I'm very much in love with our 173 years of heritage and history. It's a glorious heritage and it is this very lineage which is a very rich and glorious lineage that we must take forward and as regards the mission of school, I would say that the most important thing here is to have an accomplished and a dedicated faculty. We are working on that. Every school can improve and definitely going forward we will put a lot of emphasis on teaching and learning and in this facilitated virtual learning program which General Kulpreet spoke about right in the beginning, we have done just that because our teachers have been able to learn, to unlearn and then to relearn also upskill themselves but all this is basically going in favour of the all-round development of students and that is something which I think the school must say, I'm very impressed, I've gone to the master plan, I'm very impressed by it because with our heritage as we go forward, we will definitely have state of the art facilities for our students and our community and definitely we are investing in many digital initiatives and very soon I would say the campus will have secure Wi-Fi which is world-class by the time the kids come back and also something which I'm very proud about, we are a green campus and we have schemes, we have projects which will make it sustainable as we go forward so I would say about the mission of the school in short we have a great tradition and we are building on that day by day and the future is brilliant and what I'm happiest about is it's sustainable, the students who pass out from here, both boys and girls, young I would say gentlemen and ladies would be principled and whatever they do will be built on a strong foundation of merit and competence. Mr. Dhillon Sanar is going to be celebrating its 175th founders in the year 2022. Can you shed some light on what is being planned for this founders? Definitely about this I'll start with what we plan to do on the campus by the 175th founders, there is a wonderful renovation as well as extension of the girls' dormitory which is very important and Mrs. Nader has been very kind to help us with that, she's been very generous so that is a wonderful project to look forward to then the swim pool is getting renovated which again I think is very important because Sanar has a very strong traditional swimming, Ms. Paneet of course you are national champion and of course your brother as well and then you see our staff is very important so as we speak we have architects on campus and we are planning at least five staff accommodations so that we can attract the best talent amongst the teaching fraternity. Also I'm very happy to share that there's a centre for performing arts which is going to be world-class and as we speak there are meetings happening on how to take that forward and of course as you know the core area of the school is teaching and learning so we have great plans for a teachers resource centre we will also get a very competent professional to head that and I would say it will be a centre for excellence not only for our teachers but we will open that resource to train teachers in our neighbouring schools all over Himachal and I would say up to Chandigarh and Ambala definitely we would do that so these are some of the plans which we are thinking of in the near future. Compliments to you Mr. Dhillon this is of you know sounds like an incredible incredible plan that you have and I can see that your team and the OS team are working hard to get the master plan off the ground. Are these improvements I think are going to help Sanar not only be a legacy school but also a school that provides the surroundings required for the 21st century with regards to education in particular most schools have been forced to go online with this whole COVID situation can you tell us I'm not a parent so I don't know for us OS in particular can you shed some light on what is being done on that front now. Definitely I joined on the 20th and much to my dismay by the time I came up to school the kids had already gone back on the 18th so the first thought of business was how to make sure that their education remains protected and is not impacted adversely by the pandemic so the first thing we did we brainstormed so we have a very competent dean of faculties Mr. Asit Mukherjee we have heads of faculty so all of us had a meeting of course he maintained social distancing we wore masks but we had a meeting and we said what do we do next now for our plans to actually rectify and be of use to I would say the community and to be kind of to work we took help from the IT department now we have a very competent head of IT Mr. Jamwal himself with his team we first brainstormed on a platform now we had to be sure of something that would deliver the program but safely so we zeroed in on something called Microsoft Teams which is working very well and we first started with upskilling the teachers training the teachers but in the interim we made sure that the children were engaged so we send them some work home as you would you know assign holiday homework and then we were very lucky because all of February the children were with us most of February till the 18th of March so at least one unit of work had been accomplished and in fact there was a student so the children could actually revise that we set work you know we set tasks assignments etc so the kids did that in the meantime we worked on digital platforms and we started off with PowerPoint presentations set to teachers you know what is over using something called a links recorder now that worked very well but we didn't stop there we went on to asynchronous and synchronous classes now right now the last of the FPLP is going on at the moment we are testing but I'm very happy to report that the synchronous classes worked very well they were highly interactive and guess what not only academics but also hobbies also sports also well-being was looked into so we even had the counselors there so there were webinars and not only were the webinars but there were there was also counseling say if someone needed to talk for example you know you are under lockdown there's some poverty case in your building you are that's not happy as a young person you could actually talk to a counselor so we had all these things and then we had service as well and I'm very happy to tell you that 94 percent of our parents expressed a positive response to the FPLP and the children were not far behind 91 percent of the children were very happy with their online learning and we got lots of suggestions which we incorporated because you know it's it's like if the children are saying something and the parents are saying something we must and do something by which we improve what we're offering so one of the things we did was for the junior classes they said they were overwhelmed by too many lessons too much happening the load is too much so on Saturdays we had no lessons for them instead we had some hobbies and we had some sports for them so that it was like a relaxed day for them and as we speak the teachers are busy because they're teaching most of it is over now but they're doing the corrections so we had a first periodic assessment of learning which has just got over so it went very well wow that sounds really fabulous Mr. Dylan so what is it like the children are really the heart of school without them what is school like at the moment okay it's unreal Pranit I will not convince any words at the moment it's almost like you are in a film without the principal actors because the kids aren't there but the good thing is we are doing a lot of work on maintaining the campus so by the time the kids will get here there'll be a lot of work done I just want to share a little bit of the work because that's important especially since the kids are not here and I want the parents to know I want the OS to know as we speak we've completed some 4.6 kilometers of fencing it's a perimeter fencing which is a basic wire mesh with some very high-grade concertina wire which is a razor wire on top very secure so we've done about 4.6 kilometers of that I'm very happy because we must have a safe campus for our community so 4.6 kilometers of wire fencing has been done also we've put in about 96 CCTV cameras especially on the perimeter also in public areas within the campus and as we speak we have a NVR which is in three phases each phase has 40 channels which means at one point you can actually monitor 120 channels that is the video recorder and it's recording for about a month at a time so I would say that is something very positive for the campus the safety issues and as we speak we had a broadband capacity our least line from the BSNL was 30 nbps it has been upgraded to 50 nbps so as you can see we had a bit of a storm the other day but still the line is very stable and a lot of repair a lot of replacement especially of the retaining walls you know which get puffy in the monsoon and you know when it's hot and things yeah a lot of work has been done and also I'm very happy a lot of toilets as you speak because see aloo is very important for kids so both in the girls department also in the boys department as well as for the support staff for the teaching staff many toilets have been renovated and a lot of replacement of GI roofing is taking place because you see we have to make sure that the leaks are plugged before the monsoon yeah so a lot of replacement of that is happening a lot of painting is happening and as we speak this morning we had a meeting in which we had an EN it's called the state and legal committee so in the meeting one of the points that we are going to take forward is to you know totally replace the flooring in birdwood but by the time the children come back it'll be a pleasant surprise for them to have a new flooring then great great looks like you've really been at work while the kids are away this is a general question that I have Mr. Dylan our parents around the country are petitioning schools for fee reduction especially residential schools are there truly any differences between operational and administrative costs? You know Prameep that's a very good question and I'm very lucky because we've done a lot of work on that we have a finance committee as well and they've gone through the figures we've got the data as you know it's a 139 acre campus it's it takes a lot of maintenance and as I speak our data shows that the overheads are not going down for example the maintenance cost you know when we have so many kilometers of roads on campus to kind of top up a road with bitumen it's quite costly so it's not gone down also no salaries have been cut especially in view of COVID we've taken a very compassionate view on that the board is as you know very enlightened board and very supportive board so whether a person's contractual or a person is permanent or a daily wager nothing has been cut so the salary bill is as would be when the children were there also as I just spoke the overheads are exactly the same where there's a saving definitely is the food because the kids are not there so you know we make a saving in that and we recommended our school management committee has put up a proposal to the board that we must pass on that benefit to our parents definitely that's wonderful so there's several questions from parents children especially as well as us OS regarding founders 2020 what are your plans for everybody the batches celebrating their 60 or 50 or 25 three unions founders in general OS coming up what are your plans you know as of this moment there is a possibility that schools may open come July August there's a there's a proposal there so it's not like a sure thing but amongst the highest offices I would say they are considering that especially in view of July being when the remaining CBC exams are going to take place now let's assume that the children come back which I'm sure they will I'm very hopeful so is the board that the kids come back to us once they come back we will have to have protocols in place in which see 50 s paramount now for that we are considering getting batches of kids not the entire population at a time but let's say the upper six first and then you know working down the ranks now when they come we will have to have a very strong policy of no visitors no guests and no outsiders to keep the community safe this is important now keeping in view of that we've spoken about this in the school management committee also we've sent it to the board the view is that founders 2020 will be a virtual founders so the population on the estate will celebrate we recognize all our students we'll actually have founders as it would be however no guests no visitors and no outsiders now having said that of course we have some great batches celebrating the 25th their 50th and of course the 65th that's very important and I would say if especially I would I would offer the campus to the young people celebrating the 25th if they would like to come up say mid-December after children have gone up that's definitely an option they might even enjoy being over there say around Christmas you know say after the 15th of December we have some lovely weather lovely sunshine of course it's European weather not so much Indian weather in the Himalayas but definitely you know this campus is there for them also for others another option could be that we actually see this as a zero year and we have two batches celebrating the following year but then I would say that the OSS and the batches they are you know the right people to take a call on this but definitely I would say that our founders for 2020 will be a little in-house. Mr. Riddle that's a huge disappointment for many but I guess that's something that we all have to live with now you sorry sorry Ms. Preetu interrupt actually you see I would like all batches to come up for founders yeah but in a safe way okay but then one is the celebration the other is the AGM of the OSS I'm afraid even that'll have to be off campus for safety reasons okay so I guess we need to work on that then right so Mr. Riddle you hold the unique position of being headmaster as well as an old scenario how do you feel the old scenario community can contribute positively to the school what are the areas that we can collaborate do things together because we're all here to better just the school over here I just want to share something really wonderful that took place over the last two odd months I've been here I think it was in the first week that I got a call from General Kulpreet and he said what can we do for COVID relief make a white paper he actually said make a white paper so I put you know not only myself but some of the senior leadership into a conference room maintained 1.5 meters of distance wore a mask very safely and about three four of us came up with a few points we sent it back to General Kulpreet and General Kulpreet said work a little more well what came out was the campaign for COVID relief which the school undertook I'll just share something with you the first phase targeted a thousand kits for 500 families for 30 days now one kit includes ration and hygiene supplies at a cost about 1100 now 500 families means that you have helped 2500 people have you done that twice so roughly I would say thanks to the OS Society asking a question what can we do we've actually been able to make a sizable contribution to the community around us and you see the wonderful thing is it is the local administration which is seeing it it is the people in the villages and it is the grand pradhan and the panchayats who are acknowledging it so I think it's very wonderful also I'll just tell you a little bit about what we have in place right now in school we have something called the estate and legal committee they help us no end because you see it's a 139 acre estate it needs a lot of maintenance and usually headmaster educators they don't know so much about engineering they don't know so much about maintaining an estate and this is actually like a little town you know in europe it would be a town we've got a population about 3300 souls that you know is dependent on the school directly not only the kids and then their legal matter you see there's litigation they're all kinds of compliances state national and you know the green tribunal all kinds of things so the legal committee the enlc help us no end in these things so I think it's a very positive relationship also there's a finance committee which helps us with money with all kinds of things related to finance then there is a school management committee of course that is one of the you know committees that is important for any school and again a lot of decisions are taken there then as you know we have forces as well so a lot of fundraising is taking place and I would say that is a great success story now preneet you've asked how can we as help I would say whatever you're good at whatever you're passionate about let us know and engage with the children I would say that if someone is a writer for example come up to the hilltop and the kids are here spend a week if someone is a poet or an artist or dancer come up to school spend a week with us and just inspire the kids I would say and especially if someone is a techie for example now you know with COVID and things we are pushing our digital agenda rapidly and help us with that so any OS who's talented who's passionate and of course always love the school any OS or even friends of the school are welcome to come and help us sounds like a really lovely initiative so we've had two you know bereavements recently one of the passing of mr mukherjee one of the passing of dr dc gupta the OS of have thought of constituting chairs of excellence for high achieving students can you shed some more light on that it's it's actually very sad to lose these tall words because both mr mukherjee and dr gupta were giants they were larger than life and I think they were great for the school even after they left the school you know there was a lot of interaction and I remember very fondly a group of old starian visited mr mukherjee recently now as you speak I have an idea the idea is 21st century skills are very important for our children the coming generations now interestingly mr mukherjee represents critical thinking because his forte was physics and I would say for a 21st century young person that would automatically tie in with innovation also dr dc gupta was a thespian he was a great actor he was a great director and he was a wonderful writer I mean I remember when you went school most of the hindi books that were on the curriculum were written by dr dc gupta so he represents creative thinking now as we speak there are some ideas a wonderful idea is a chair for excellence in innovation in memory of mr mukherjee also a chair for excellence in languages in memory of dr dc gupta I think these are fantastic ideas lovely it's a lovely way to keep their memory and legacy going absolutely um so this brings me to my last question before we open it out to everybody is there any memory that you have of your time in school that defines who you are as a headmaster you know that's a very difficult question to answer because there's so many uh one of the memories is firefighting and especially uh you know where squire hall is the slopes there one night there was a terrible fire and we were firefighting I don't know how we escaped getting roasted alive but you know let me tell the tale that's good now that definitely had an impact on myself in the UAE I actually went and you know I volunteered for firefighting training and it's basically 50 percent of a population in a school teachers and otherwise who are you know for compliance you're meant to be trained as a firefighter but as a head I volunteered because I said okay we fought fires with rakes and things let's let's at least learn how to use a fire extinguisher and you know what to do next so I did that now with the kids gone we've been doing a bit of firefighting training we've been doing fire drills and it's very interesting because I see a very high standard of firefighting as you speak there is a drill that was conducted also the hoses have been checked and we have upgraded our fire fighting systems as we speak uh I am very happy to share that we have had no forest fires this year I'm very happy about that and I would say there are two reasons which I kind of have zeroed in on the first is a parameter definitely we've got the fencing done good 4.6 kilometers the first is that and the second I would say is because the training is good we know what to do so even if there's a little bit of chance of fire we are you know being proactive about that so I'm very happy about that the other thing which I'd like to share is as a schoolboy I have some wonderful memories of nature and I would say that's helped to make me the person I am also you know the parades that we had the NCC the discipline I think it's helped a lot but I would say the most endearing part of being in school the good teachers of course but I would say the batch mates because they will call a spade a spade no matter what you're doing if you're doing something which can be improved they'll tell you like it is which is great that's good and I would say every experience in school has helped me to make help to make me the person I am and right now very very blessed I feel that I have a chance to serve the alma mater and it's actually very special to be back thank you so much dinner mr. Dylan this was really really wonderful I'd like to open the floor to questions the first question we have folks I have to say we may not be able to take everybody's question because of time constraints the first question we have is from a parent from Amritsar mrs. Rupan Oberoi whose sons Odevir Oberoi is in upper five and Zoravar Oberoi going to upper six because would you get Rupan is unmuted yeah it's wonderful to hear you for the first time and my elder son is also listening to you right now so my question to you is that can we call online teaching as artificially induced normalcy in a situation where fear is paramount and middle-class families are still struggling with technology teachers are speeding up assignments and syllabi in the so-called world of inclusive education so my question is is this system so flexible in reality that all levels of students can adapt to it aren't we not leaving behind a large segment of students ma'am that's a lovely question and I first want to congratulate you on the question also I want to just offer my best wishes to the young men and the family now I've gone very deep into this you know we've got this facilitated virtual learning program about gone very deep into this you are right about what you're saying it is a frightening new world and see what is really frightening is there was something called the digital divide around 20 years back around 10 years back it kind of exacerbated and it became critical right now I would say it is frightening because if you happen to be on the wrong side of the digital divide whether it's you know lack of technology or lack of resources whatever it is let's say your parents can't afford a computer or smartphone then you're lost okay but the good thing is I would say in our community we are on the right side of the divide and as I speak I've spoken to at least 20 or 25 brother principles and sister principles what I can share is even in the best of schools even in the best Indian public schools all schools have not managed to get on the right side of digital education okay and I'm being very candid I'm being very frank and this is the real-time data that I'm sharing with you now when we looked at our school we first feared that we would have less instructional days now when we looked at days we saw in a normal term that ended in June for the children there would be about 42 days post the 18th of March of instruction now I'm saying this because your SOPs as you know they also are hikes and camps so you know of course that's educational as well but not academics a person now instead of the 42 days we actually have 45 days now has there been a loss in instructional time no there's been a gain now the other side was if the teachers go too fast or do too much online it's possible that by August or September our syllabus will be over okay so we've actually slowed it down and another thing I would like to share is that all teachers were able to complete the syllabus according to their annual plan of work in time also to get time for revision and the best thing is that our teachers are ready are even ahead so faculty are ready to take more time if someone needs help for example extra classes they are offered as we speak for lower six we are still having classes especially the children some four children you know joined us recently so four children who joined recently they're still classes also we went very deep into the pace of classes what I can share with you is that the pace of the online classes was exactly the pace required to complete the syllabus for the term so we've not done extra we've not rushed and another interesting thing is that we had a periodic assessment but we got time for revision before the assessment so thank you for your question and we are here if Uday or Zuravar need any help please write into us we are here to help thank you so much sir thank you the next question is from Sunamika Brar Chandigarh batch of 1995 yes hello sir good evening good evening to everyone since it's my batch is 25th anniversary this year you already answered the question in the beginning of the webinar and you gave us two options one is mid-december could be a possibility and the second option is next year so so basically now my question is that if I mean would since I'm the batch coordinator the feedback I've got from my batch mates living overseas is that they would be hesitant to travel unless they would be a vaccine in place for covid and I mean we don't know what's going to happen in December what the quarantine laws would be so that's my first question and the second is that would would the school be able to accommodate two batches next four batches next year that's a lovely question I completely agree that only if it's kind of imperative to travel and safe should travel be undertaken especially between countries and I completely understand that now let's say we do it next year I would say that 225th would get a little I won't say difficult it will just get you know for example chapel if you look at chapel it has a limited capacity right so possibly another option could be that we declare this a zero year and we start with your batch next year and take it forward right but I would say the right people would be people like yourself who are batch coordinators and the OS society and what I want every OS to know is especially someone who's celebrating something like the 25th or the 50th or the 65th the school is here for you so tell us what to do and we'll be happy to help Namika I can button here and say that we'll get we'll be in touch with all the batch coordinators who are doing the 25th 50th and 60th and we will take your views and into consultation before we come to a final conclusion as per the headmaster like you said it'll be difficult for us to go up to start so we'll take it forward let's see how best we can accommodate you great thank you so much I I guess it's a one day at a time situation I don't think any of us can predict what's going to happen in the future so thank you so much for answering my question thank you the next question we have is from Malini Kumar hi good evening Malini good evening you know the students have just finished their tests last week using the FELP online model I'm just very curious to know how exactly did they adapt to being assessed online because you know it's having been in Salah and then you know having children in class 10 myself the whole thing of writing an exam in a short span of time how do they adapt to this online thing how did it work in real terms Malini that's a lovely question now we put in a few ideas from the international baccalaureate we put in a lot of best practices into this and internally we brainstormed now the foundation of this was academic honesty being true to yourself and the idea was not to see what the kids don't know the idea was to just find out what they know and it was basically an assessment for learning so that we know what they know and when we teach them next we can kind of make use of that data so that they learn better now I want to thank every parent who's hearing even those who are not tuned in not hearing please convey the sincere gratitude of the school for your role in this because what we did is we sent the papers half an hour in advance to the parents so that the parents would have them and we requested every parent to please help us in order to make sure that everything was done in an honest way and in a very transparent way of course teachers also requested every student to have their cameras on so that a teacher could also kind of know what was happening now when the children finished writing their papers we requested the parents to upload the papers back to us so that we could go through them this is what happened so we went off very successfully this we are this online mode of assessment do you think this will be going forward this will be done more frequently now at least during covid definitely but I would say even in the best of schools all over the world they are actually thinking of you know having 70 percent of all teaching and learning online the UAE is doing that UK is doing that France is going to do that and I believe even in the U.S. there are some very robust practices in which they are going to encourage online learning and especially assessment thank you your pranit next question have we lost pranit I'm just taking that she's collecting all the questions I received a question from a parent just a second the parent this is Anil Panchar he's an OS ETA and a parent and he wants to learn have we lost any learning time as the FVLP started in April and how do we plan to cover you know whatever time we lost Anil that's a lovely question and first I must start with congratulating you on the flying you're doing sterling service you're helping lots of people so thank you for that now in short hi Anil how are you in short good to see you is that brother yeah just congratulate your brother please because he's a hero thank you very much and Anil to answer the question very briefly we were actually very concerned that we would have lost real-time teaching when we did an analysis on actual time versus you know say how much time we would be teaching in a term versus the FVLP we got to know that we actually had three days extra not counting the testing so we've actually gained about three days so as a you know when we got to know that we have gained time we actually slowed down the pace of lessons had more revision made it more interactive so I think the quality went up and in terms of the syllabus we've actually managed to not only cover the syllabus but also do a substantial amount of revision and testing the next question we have is from Pooja Bedi because can you get Pooja on yes I'm doing that matchmate matchmate of him absolutely yes Pooja I'm doing that she has to unmute herself Pooja Bedi has to unmute herself Pooja hi Pooja how are you I'm so good everyone hi Manik hi good to see you thank you I think it's bad days right sorry it's bad days in Goa you and bad days absolutely yes we are great great um well um yeah I think a lot of very important points have been covered here and it's wonderful to um hear about the the fact that we have not lost cool days about the incredible work that's being done I'm a part of the force committee so we're very actively involved in what's happening and what's coming up next and he must be doing a fantastic job um unfortunately I don't think I should ask questions because I'm a batchmate and the only questions that are coming on that group are to ask him questions like what about the big wall in the art room when are you going to confess and stuff what happened oh the wall the wall in the art room it's secure it's secure it's very safe now and there's a lot of artwork which is there in the art room I've gone and seen it the other day and I used to enjoy doing a bit of art there as well a bit of watercolours the hill sides absolutely no good to know that you're doing a fantastic job happy to be in the chat the wall is secure the art room as well you'll have to check that out I don't know it's there I think it's I told you there about 96 cameras that have been put I'm sure it's for safety it'll make the campus safer sorry just a reverend he does it's an art talk we all know what what memory the art room holds for all of us um I remember him very well and Mr. Madhusudan absolutely um all right well carry on with the questions I'm pretty good at doing a fantastic job of operating there

so much thank you everybody thank you thank you very much a lovely evening in the end I would like to thank the headmaster Mr. Madhusudan for having taken out time from his busy schedule and giving us
