VINS SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
The Senior Secondary Stage assumes great significance as students for the first time move toward diversification. As such, they are better placed to exercise a choice of course keeping in view their needs, interests, capabilities and aptitude, which would enable them to cope with the challenges of the future.
Change is the watchword at this stage of life. In order to equip the youth to cope with change in life it is essential that they be guided soundly and correctly.
Career Guidance and Counseling sessions are organized throughout the year for the students of the Senior Secondary School.
In today’s world of globalization marked by competitiveness and challenges, it is required more than ever before that the school sets its own standards comparable to any international standards. Thus the school has to its credit well thought out courses of studies, detailed curricular outlines, identification of learning outcomes, variety of instructional materials — audio and visual — and multimedia packages and improved evaluation tools.

FACULTY & STAFF
Contemporary life is deeply influenced by rapid technological progress as well as environmental and social crises. Faced with unpredictable change and insecurity, the young generation is easily influenced by materialistic values and the moral degradation of our times. Our teaching faculty and support staffs are handpicked post an intensive screening that not just affirms their expertise in the academic subject that they would help learn, but also sensitise and awaken the students to the life lessons they would learn along the way. To phrase it in another way, the teachers don’t simply ‘teach’ but help the children to learn and explore their world, while discovering themselves. They are friends, mentors, confidantes, house parents and more. Our support staff too, tunes in to the ethos of the school.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
- It matters a great deal as to how the most basic of concepts are being taught, especially when we take into consideration the most typical of subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics. To eliminate the fear and to bring out the best of a student’s performance, teaching methodology plays a big role. Students studying in secondary classes require absolute clarity of each concept.
- Our hands-on learning approach allow each child to have a clear conceptual understanding of logic behind every formula, every practical or every application learned is well engraved in the minds of these little geniuses.
- Our faculty guiding the students with advanced knowledge of Science, Mathematics or any typical subject a child usually runs away from. This helps them stay a step ahead of their competition that they will be facing in their coming years.
EXTRA CARE
Students are given personalized training to appear for the Board examinations with extra tutorials being provided at appropriate times. The study programme is planned carefully with adequate time being set aside towards the end of the course for revision and practice in examination techniques giving the students a cutting edge above the rest.
STUDENT COUNCIL
The School Student Council comprises of representatives from Senior Secondary. The Council plans, organizes and executes cultural and sports activities at the school and at inter school level. The Council members also play a role in maintaining general discipline at the school and hold office for the academic year.
OUR HOUSES
In order to foster a healthy competitive spirit and to create a sense of belonging, all students are divided into four Houses. Each House has student and teacher representatives. The Inter House competitions are conducted with a view to promote learning, entertainment and awareness. Merit certificates are awarded to the winners and House points are determined based on points awarded throughout the year.
- Honourable Dr. M.G.R - Blue - Sky is the limit
- Mahatma Gandhi - Yellow - Peace with prosperity
- Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam - Green - Acme the goal
- Pandit. Jawaharlal Nehru - Red - Pinnacle of success
Each House is governed by a House Captain, Vice-Captain and a Junior Captain.
STUDENT ENRICHMENT
The team aims at enhancing synergistic evolution of a child by consistently instilling development of attitudes, habits, values and skills in order to enable them to be self-reliant to make rational and wise decisions to settle or manage stress and disagreements and ultimately to recognize and channelize his/her strength and energy to vault above challenges only to chisel out a genial human being. This would train and equip the child to develop social and interpersonal skills which will enable peaceful and meaningful co-existence.
