Project display by the members of the Parampara Heritage Club of the school.
The Parampara Heritage Club of Sri Sankara Vidyashramam Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Tiruvanmiyur, initiated the village link programme last year when the children from the school visited Illalur and Echangadu villages. In July this year, the children from those villages visited the school and participated in an interactive
session with the club members. They visited the homes of the club members and stayed with them overnight to get the feel of urban culture. The club also celebrated “Madras Day” at the school. Children exhibited their skills by displaying wonderful models of the city’s landmark monuments and buildings. Another programme organised for the club members was a trip to Mamallapuram as part of the project, “Disaster leads to discovery”. Dr Suresh, a renowned archaeologist and a member of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), accompanied the club members.
The Interact Club of the school organised a blood donation camp for the ninth year in succession on 20 November 2005. Thanks to relentless campaigning by the members of the Club, there was a turnout of 347 donors surpassing last year’s number of 293. Rtn George Cherian visited the camp and appreciated the efforts of the volunteers.
The officials from the Madras Voluntary Blood Bureau who were the joint organisers of the camp also applauded the work done by the volunteers. It is worth mentioning that the Club has won the Bank of Baroda Rolling Trophy for mobilising the most donors for three years in a row.
