The document discusses why people inevitably leave each other. It explains that the author was highly attached to people and relationships from a young age, and each loss or disappointment shattered her. However, the problem was not with the people, but with her dependencies on them to define her happiness and self-worth. The only relationship that should define us is with God, as the Quran says God's handhold never breaks. While humans seek fulfillment in temporary things like relationships, status and wealth, we were made for eternity with God. Trying to find permanence in this fleeting world sets us up for continuous disappointment.

A Positive Commitment
Most of us are very conscious about our appearances and it
is good, but the manner in which we speak is often never cared.
I mean, even if we are dressed nicely, using poor communication
skills will show that we are wolf in sheep’s clothing. We might
look on the outside, but the actual impression is made through
our communication. So, we must focus on our appearance as
well as on the communication skills.
Today most students underestimate the importance of
speaking English.They think they can get on by the basic language
classes they take in school. However, only having a basic
knowledge of English will not open career doors. If you speak in a
manner that is elegent, this will create a powerful impression.
Many people have a poor command of the English language
because they don’t read. Not only does reading allow you to build
up your vocabulary, but it also allows you to become more
informed. The most important thing you must bear in mind is that
reading and listening are inputs where as speaking and writing
are outputs. In other words, you must first master the skills of
reading and listening to enhance speaking.
It is painful to see that bright students from Kerala struggle in
interviews while their peers from other states fair better. What
makes the difference is their spoken English skills. Students here
are known to think in Malayalam, translate it in their mind and
then articulate.
With all respect to the mother tongue, let me suggest you that
English being a globalised language students should read good
books which will help them to become globally competent. Believe
in yourself and your capabilities to become more confident. Make
a positive commitment to yourself and to the people around you.
Praise yourself and be enthusiastic.
“The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man
who’ll get me a book I ain’t read”
Hello ! Book
How are you?
What are you upto?
Keeping you to yourself?
Shutting between your covers like a prisoner high on a shelf.
Come on book, I want to know your story.
Haven’t you ever been read?

Do you think I too would just pass by you?
No way dear book,
I’m your reader.
I open you up with curiosity and excitement.
You set yourself free
And share your secret with me.
Hi friends!
Do you like to keep your books closed in shelves?
I say don’t do it, if you look at it lovingly, then it can be one of your
best friends otherwise it will turn into yet another useless thing taking
space. So make sure you read good books at all times. This practice
will surely groom your personality.8

Fifteen years before we held our hands,
entered the school amidst noisy bands,
with a sense of pride we held our heads high,
to mould true citizens of the country.
Little eyes gazed at us with an aura of fear and apprehension.
But as we stood close to you,
your unspoken words gave us self-worth.
It said –‘they are little children, respect their rights.
Teach them with love and remember with compassion.’
As the years went by, we made you feel proud.
With the guiding hands and understanding smile of-
Fr. Jose Padayatty, Fr. Jose Alukkal, Fr.John Pynadath,
Fr. John Therezath and Fr.Joy Kilikunnel
we strode to greater heights.
How the time has flown and in you we have grown.
Your every corner guides us to accept the changes,
because each child infront of us is a challenge.
We salute you Dear School for accepting us.
We continue this journey in your shade,
under the guidance of Fr. Varghese Kachapilly
The following is something to ponder:
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a
roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than
75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare
change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8%
of the world’s wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ...
you are more blessed than the millions who will not survive
this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the
loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the
pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people
in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of
harassment, arrest, torture, or death ... you are more blessed
than three billion people in the world.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are
truly thankful ... you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.
If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch
them on the shoulder ... you are blessed because you can
offer healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double
blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and
furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion
people in the world that cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings.

In each task that must be done, there is opportunity. See the task
not as a burden, but as an encouragement to be fully alive and
effective.
The real burden would be the inability to do anything. No task is a
burden, but is instead the chance to express your own aliveness.
Does the work seem dreary, unimaginative, tedious or boring?
That’s mainly because your attitude makes it so.
See what happens when you start by being thankful for the
opportunity to do it. Your genuine gratitude will help you to see
the positive value.
When the things you must do become things you want to do, it
can transform your life. Each moment takes on more meaning;
each effort brings greater and greater reward.
Rather than fighting and forcing yourself to do what must be done,
let go of your resistance and allow yourself to accomplish. Let
what you must, become what you want, and watch yourself begin
to soar.
Must do:

The very first thing which attracted me in Viswajyothi was its meaningful name VISWAJYOTHI- ‘You are the light of the
world’. School is a place where the light of knowledge is special. I felt this was the best name which can be given to a school.
I completed secondary education in three different schools. Viswajyothi was my fourth school. Being an outsider to Viswajyothi,
I was very shy and very much of dependent. I never got an opportunity to present myself infront of an audience in any of my old
schools. From my past experiences my concept of a school was basically studies and only studies. Viswajyothi was a new
world to me. In fact I was surprised to see how the teachers and the management encourages and improves a student
academically and co-curricular together. And that is what I feel great about Viswajyothi. I think there is no talent that goes
unnoticed in Viswajyothi. I am very proud and happy to study and finish my school life in Viswajyothi. And therefore I would like
to be addressed as a Viswajyothian rather than in names of my previous schools.

I remember reading about
the B.F. G.
a Big Friendly Giant
who meets sophie.
I remember reading
a small book, Twist
where a rude, nasty couple
fall into a large pit.
I remember reading about
the Fantastic Mr. Fox,
who fools all the hunters
and gets away with an ox.
And all these books are
written by my pal
the great and only,
famous Roald Dahi.
The students of Viswajyothi have a great time with
quizzical experience in Get Quizzical. It’s a test for tapping the
knowledge of Viswajyothians. Get Quizzical supplies us with
intermix knowledge of art, sports, literature, current affairs and
so on .It is a mind sport in which we attempt to answer every
questions. Hundreds of students wait for the interval bell to
participate in Get Quizzical. It helps the students to explore their
hidden knowledge. It measures the growth in knowledge, abilities
and skills. It determines a winner from group of high scores. It is
a form of student assessment programme with ten questions
given each day on different subjects. The participants write the
answers and put in a box kept in the library. The Get Quizzical
team evaluates it and the highest scorers are awarded.

A scientist makes a mistake it is a new theory.
A tailor makes a mistake it is a new design.
A cook makes a mistake it is a new dish.
An artist makes a mistake it is a modern art.
A dancer makes a mistake it is a break dance.

The Franciscan center for peace and dialogue conducted
Sarva Matha Shanthi Gosh for school students to raise awareness
and deepening the understanding of current issues of justice,
peace and ecology. There were competitors from different schools.
The prime components of the competition were group song, light
Music, English and Malayalam Essay Writing and Elocution. We
bagged first prize for group song. The chief guest, the cine artist
Mr. Vineeth in his address appreciated the quality of music of our
group song. He also applauded the standard of the performance
by the students.

Fresher’s Day is meant for interaction
between senior teachers and the newly joined
staff. To encourage the creative impulse of the
fresh teachers a cultural evening was conducted.
The program started by invoking the blessings
of God.The ‘ranga pooja’by Ms. Fency and team
set the ambience for the show. This cultural treat
was garnished by dances, songs, humour skit,
and fashion show. To boost the confidence of the
new teachers the senior colleagues supported us
by cheers and applause. Rev. Fr. Sebes CMI by
his energy packed dance and Rev. Fr. Varghese
CMI by the unique concert stole the show. More
than a function it was an opportunity to interact.

Education cannot happen just at school—it must go
beyond the walls of the classroom. Watching a play performed
live is quite a different experience than reading a play from a book.
Through attendance at events, students broaden their horizons
and gain unique insights into their own communities as well as a
broader global perspective of our world’s diverse cultures.
The School provides a spectrum of opportunities for
students with artistic talents to nurture their abilities. As usual this
year Viswajyothians set fire on the stages of Vidhyodaya and
Rajagiri Public School. In Vox Populi inter- school cultural fest at
Vidyodaya we were the first runners-up amidst 18 schools from in
and around Ernakulam.
In another inter-school cultural extravaganza called Vista
at Rajagiri Public School, we challengingly bagged the Vista overall
trophy with 52 points. The Choice School also shared the Vista
overall Trophy with 52 points.
The schools enjoyed themselves thoroughly in the atmosphere
of friendly rivalry, cheering loudly for their participants throughout
the events.

I Am A Patriot And I Love My Country.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai ,Vande Mataram echoed the school auditorium.
With Cap. Raju as the chief Guest, we celebrated our 65th
Independence
Day. He presided over the celebration in the Public School with great
vigour and enthusiasm. Our Manager, Rev. Fr. Jose Padayatty CMI, Former
Principal, Rev. Fr. Joy Kilikunnel CMI, Vice – Principal, Rev. Fr. Sebes
Attokaran CMI, Academic Co-ordinator, Ms. Mary Koshy, Educational
Officer, Mr. Rajan and a noted actor Mr. Antony Tripunithura, spoke on the
occasion. Though our Principal Rev. Fr. Varghese Kachappilly CMI was
on an international tour, his guidance was with us.
The Inauguration of the Independence Day celebration by showering
flowers on India created a patriotic feeling in all. Breathtaking patriotic
dance by the boys of Class IX and X students filled tears in everyone’s
eyes . Through character portrayal freedom fighters like Rani Lakshmi
Bai, Gandhiji, Jawaharlal Nehru, Bhagat Singh, Patel and other leaders
were brought to life. Different scenes from freedom struggle were enacted
and India was flattered by the patriotic singers.

Tricolour flag was hoisted and every Viswajyothian standing with
smugness before it, saluting the martyrs, Viswajyothi Kids Block celebrated
the Independence Day. Captain Raju was the chief guest and was
impressed by the skit presented by the Kids. He appreciated the main
characters enacted by Pranav, Effron, Salvin, Megha and Athira of Class
IV. The programme gave an insight into the freedom struggle. Around
50students participated in the gala function.
Kerala Catholic Students League camp of Angamaly Zone
was conducted on 29th

Mr. Johnson T. V., Organizer Sr. Deepa, and Viswajyothi Vice Principal
Rev. Fr. Sebes Attokaran CMI felicitated the camp. The camp created
an impact of leadership in the students.
Rambutan is not a name we are very familiar with. But they will
soon be pushing for a place on our dining tables as they catch the
imagination of farmers who are always on the lookout for more
remuneration.The fruit, native to the Malay archipelago, is popular in South-
East Asia and is suited for cultivation across Kerala. Rambutan is a tasty
fruit and it is very popular in many countries. Seed oil from the Rambutan
is produced and in use to manufacture candles and soap. Although
Rambutan trees are cut down rarely, their wood is used in the construction
industry. Rambutan fruit is said to heal dysentery and diarrhea effectively.
Eating five fruit in a day can seriously decrease the chance of cancer.
Rambutan fruit is also very effective in lowering blood pressure.
To promote horticulture Rotary Club, Angamaly organized a
seminar for the students in the school Auditorium on the topic of
‘Conservation and Planting of Tropical Fruit Trees’. The seminar
highlighted the importance of planting Rambutan which is a fruit tree
favourable for the climatic conditions in Kerala.

sitting in the monotonous class chamber.
Equations and definitions, I heard,
as, students sat in a studying slumber.
Lips moving to and fro
eyes closed in meditation
it’s exam bro -
they say, study in repetition.
With heads bowed down,
ceremoniously the hands moved over the books
with confidence half - blown,
they stare with life less looks.
Asking doubts, passionately,
faces, more morose grew.
As the exam approached sleathly
tension started to brew.
With expectations upon the shoulders,
a world more to learn.
On their forehead appears sweaty boulders,

CCE… an extension of Competitive Achievement
Continuous and comprehensive evaluation envisages a system of
school based evaluation that covers all aspects of development in
an individual. It is an attempt to shift the emphasis from testing to
holistic learning. I feel the CCE aims at providing an opportunity to
children to realize their potential.
In short CCE is a constant monitoring of the child with an objective
of putting him in an orbit where he produces results from which not
only he himself but the society also benefits.
Vimal , IX D
Frequently Asked Questions
01 Does CCE mean frequent tests and assignments?
The term continuous in CCE refers to periodicity and regularity
in assessment. It does not mean that tests and assignments
have to be conducted or given frequently. On the contrary, the
scheme of CCE discourages mechanical testing. It envisages
employment of variety of tools and techniques for assessment
in informal and formal settings which are more interesting,
relevant and meaningful and involve learners for greater
participation and learning CCE Scheme.
02.How would CCE help in reducing stress of students?
CCE helps in reducing stress of students by Identifying learning
progress of students at regular time intervals on small portions
of content. Employing variety of remedial measures of
teaching. Desisting from using negative comments on the
learner’s performance. Encouraging learning through
employment of a variety of techniques. Involving learners
actively in the learning process. Recognizing and encouraging
specific abilities of students, who do not excel in academics
but perform well in other co curricular areas.
03.Is it all right for my child to spend more time on dance, music
and doing project work than actually reading his textbooks?
Holistic education demands development of all aspects of
individual’s personality including cognitive, affective and
Over the last few months, the news was spreading about the hidden treasures in the
vaults of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. About 90,000 crore worth treasure was
found in the secret cellar of the temple. Opening of each of these chambers reveal a
virtual treasure from the previous diamond gold ornaments, emerald, jewelleries, rare
silver and gold idols. Sacks filled with diamonds lay close to tones of gold. The estimate
of the treasure’s worth rise a fierce debate regarding what to be done with this lot in a
country where around 260 millions line in poverty. A talk on this issue was something
new for us. That marked on the beginning of the show-PANORAMA,
‘the forum, where you get a chance to debate and decide on the issues around. The
first of it was about the treasure hidden in the temple chambers. The two sides gave
different views concerning the piece of news. Many suggested that the wealth is to be
invested in the temple itself. Some others had the view that it should be used for the
public good. But passing it for public good, meant passing down hands vulnerably to
corruption. The treasure is no longer safe at the temple. The government has to spend
around 3 crores for the security. The question was regarding what is to be done with
the treasure. Support rose for using treasuring for public good. But the idea was too
good to be practical. Finally a conclusion was delivered that the money would be given
to a trust probably a new one established for this purpose, and then used for the
welfare. The first of the shows thus pulled its curtain down.
psychomotor domains. It is unfortunate that not much
attention and emphasis is given to the development of
interests, hobbies and passions of learners co-curricular
activities.
04 Is it necessary to mention ailments that my child is suffering
onthe CCE report card?
The schools are being advised to bring any major observation
to the notice of parents for proper medication and care of the
child’s Physical Health.
05There are usually forty students in a section. Will it be possible
for a single teacher to assess all the students meaningfully
and objectively in a given time frame particularly in
co - scholastic areas?
The Board has developed detailed guidelines for assessment
in co scholastic areas. Tools and techniques for assessment
in these areas have been included in these guidelines.
Besides, the Board is organizing series of training
programmes in different parts of the country to familiarize
teachers in related matters. However schools and teachers
themselves also will have to design strategies to meet the
emerging challenges.
