Students Club
Interact
Rotary International is the
world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in
33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally,
regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation,
provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the
motto Service Above Self. Interact is Rotary International's service club for young
people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which
provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting. Doon
International School's students are active members of the club and each year, they
help complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers
international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, our school's
Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn
the importance of:
- Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
- Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
- Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
- Advancing international understanding and goodwill
Eco club
The Eco Club at DIS is a means
by which the students are empowered to participate and take up meaningful
environmental activities and projects. It is a forum through which students can
reach out to influence and engage their parents and neighbourhood communities to
promote sound environmental behaviour. Our Eco Club also empowers students to
explore environmental concepts and actions beyond the confines of a syllabi of
environment education. The school's Eco Club is abuzz with activities like awareness
drives, tree plantation drives, cleanliness drives and recycling projects etc.
GK club
The School's G.K Club strives
to increase the knowledge of the students in various subjects and current affairs.
The club also trains them to excel in various inter-school quiz competitions as well
as competitive exams. DIS's coveted Quiz Team has won a number of prestigious Quiz
Competitions at the State as well as at the National level.
Debating Society
The school's Debating Society
grooms students for the purpose of debate and improvement in extemporaneous
speaking. The club not only prepares students for public speaking and inter-school
competitions but also deliberates discussions on current issues of national and
international importance to raise students' awareness levels and to inculcate in
them skills such as critical thinking and qualities of self-confidence.
Photography club
A picture speaks a thousand
words. Students in the Photography Club are taught the art and technique of good
photography. The objective here is to teach them the nuances of focus, shutter
speed, aperture etc. besides learning how to define objects, distance, angles, color
combinations, light and diffusion, size and coverage, vantage positioning and
artistic viewpoints. We have a good number of 'picture perfect' photographs in the
making.
Literary club
The Literary Club at DIS
aims to develop analytical and creative thinking. It offers children opportunities
to appreciate different types of writings, literature, increase their knowledge
about writers and literary classics. The Club also encourages students to showcase
their own work in English and Hindi through the school's quarterly publication, 'The
Bugle', and the school's annual magazine, 'Vision'. Students are urged to develop a
keen interest in reading and writing. Students also benefit from participating in
activities like debates, writing competitions and quizzes which are regularly
organised by the club.
