THE HOUSE SYSTEM AT DPSG

The traditional system of grouping children into different 'Houses' has the inherent advantage of fostering loyalty, team spirit and healthy competition. The school has four houses to which children are attached when they reach class IV. These are named after the four rivers of India- The Ganga, the Yamuna, the Satlej, the Cauvery. Inter houses, inter class and inter section competitions are organised in sports, cultural programmes, creative work and academics. Emphasis is laid on the development of values through co-curricular activities. Cultural activities are streamlined in order to nurture in children, a sense of pride for the motherland and its rich heritage and being a part of the biggest democratic and secular nation in the world

The school organises a number of Inter House Competitions in the field of co-curricular activities. This system inculcates the spirit of participation and healthy competitive thinking among them for active participation of each and every student, we have distributed all of our students into 4 houses :

We have four houses at DPSGV, each named after a river. They are -

1. Cauvery House

2. Ganga House

3. Satlej House

4. Yamuna House

In no other country the rivers are so much revered as in India. In fact, in our country these are equated to no less than a divine mother. Like the river which initiates in the form of a narrow stream and pioneers into a huge resource, gurgling with vigor, sustaining life and always progressing.

  The energy of the mind is the essence of life It has been almost 9 years since I have been associated with my satlej house and now becoming the captain for me is a dream come true. It was back in the 4th class when we were first divided in our house time and I got the colour of green. This colour of green which symbolises nature, provides calmness and evokes compassion in oneself are the elements through which our satlej house is driven by. Various inter house competition held by our school helps the members of satlej house to become energetic and more lively in nature and ,also, to develop creativity in ones mind. In these 9 years, this house has prepared me to face any challenge of life and has taught me to never lose hope even at the times of crises.This is the sole aim of our house to make every member confident and make each member more competent in their life.

  
  



Red is the colour of energy, passion and action. It signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination, exciting the emotions and motivating us to take action. It represents strong will power and can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.

The Yamuna house values include:

1) Zeal

A zealous person is someone who has a passion for what he or she is doing and shows it when they do it. The people are enthusiastic and energetic.

2) Enterprise

It means taking initiative and being resourceful. This portraits a person as extrovert and sociable who is confident, assertive and a quick decision-maker.

3) Diligent

A diligent person is someone who works very hard and to be diligent is usually considered to be an attribute. They are self motivated, faithful and they push themselves through obstacles of all kinds.

The people in my house follow these values and attain skills to succeed in various fields. Many different types of inter-house literary, sports and cultural competitions are held at our school for the development of students. These competitions help in creating a positive impact on enhancing social and emotional learning. The activities performed by the students in the competitions teach them how to work for a common goal which results in developing a sense of responsibility. Many inter-house team or group competitions are organized which give essence of team spirit and improving their coordination with other people. These help in reflecting the talent and potential of the team . I hope through my work I will be able to develop the school positively while representing the Yamuna House. I believe that if everyone works together and tries their best it will make us all winners. If anyone has any issues or ideas, for the betterment of our house should approach me without any hesitation. I will try my best to work upon it.

Together we can be the best!
