The Academic Year 2026–27 at DCGES School began with a thoughtfully planned 9-Day Teacher Induction Programme aimed at welcoming, empowering, and preparing educators for a successful year ahead. The programme commenced with the divine pooja of Dandasaheb Ji, seeking blessings for a year filled with learning, growth, and meaningful impact. Teachers were warmly welcomed by the Principal, leadership team, and fellow staff members, creating an atmosphere of respect, appreciation, and togetherness. A particularly moving experience was the Gratitude Walk, followed by a heartfelt gesture in which the Principal and leadership team washed the teachers’ feet as a symbol of gratitude for their dedication and commitment to shaping future generations.
The induction programme was meticulously organized with the active support of the leadership team and SEC members, whose efforts made every session meaningful and memorable. Teachers were welcomed with inspiring messages, special song performances, and thoughtfully curated takeaways. Every aspect of the programme reflected the school's culture of gratitude and collaboration. The warmth and care shown throughout the induction helped educators feel valued and motivated as they prepared to embark on a new academic journey.
A major focus of this year's induction was professional preparedness and effective planning. Teachers actively participated in training sessions, collaborative discussions, curriculum planning, and classroom preparation activities. One of the key achievements of the programme was the successful completion of digital lesson plans by all teachers, demonstrating the school’s commitment to innovation and efficient educational practices. The training days were utilized productively, ensuring that teachers entered the new session equipped with clear goals, updated strategies, and a shared vision for student success. To maintain enthusiasm and well-being, the leadership team also organized engaging games and recreational activities that provided opportunities for relaxation, laughter, and team bonding after intensive training sessions.
The induction concluded on a joyful note with the much-awaited Potluck Celebration, a cherished DCGES tradition. Teachers came together in groups, each bringing a variety of homemade dishes to share with colleagues. The event fostered camaraderie, strengthened relationships, and celebrated the spirit of unity that defines the DCGES family. Filled with meaningful learning experiences, moments of appreciation, collaborative planning, and joyful celebrations, the 9-day induction programme proved to be both enriching and inspiring for all participants.
