Secondary Parents’ Meeting at BY NMJ School

The Secondary School Parents’ Meeting for Bhavishya Yaan NMJ students from Grades 5 to 9 was held on November 12th, 2025, soon after the successful meeting conducted for Primary parents. The session aimed to update parents on their children’s progress and to share highlights of the recently concluded Literature Festival, which took place during the Diwali holidays and ended on 1 November. Teachers and the Bhavishya Yaan mentor explained in detail what students had learnt during the festival, including enhanced general knowledge, new vocabulary and exposure to a wide range of topics covered through stories, activities and creative sessions. Parents whose children had participated expressed satisfaction, as they were already aware of the enriching experience their children had enjoyed. Parents whose children had travelled to their villages and missed the festival regretted the absence and assured that they would ensure their children did not miss such opportunities in future.

The mentor also reminded parents of the importance of punctuality and regular attendance for all Bhavishya Yaan classes, emphasising how regular engagement contributes significantly to academic development. Teachers of Spoken English and Computer Studies reiterated the value of consistent attendance, especially given the critical importance of English communication skills.

Parents were also briefed on the new AI-based learning initiative, which includes the use of individual tablets—an innovative feature unique to the Bhavishya Yaan classroom at NMJ. This development generated considerable excitement and curiosity among the parents.

A special highlight of the meeting was the opportunity for students to present their final rehearsals for the upcoming Literature Festival Finale. What began as a practical arrangement soon became the most memorable part of the gathering. Students enthusiastically performed songs, speeches, dances and drama pieces with confidence and fluency. Parents were delighted to witness their children speaking in good English and showcasing the skills they had developed.

The meeting concluded on a positive and encouraging note, with parents expressing happiness and pride in their children’s progress and reaffirming their support for the Bhavishya Yaan programme.
