( Saraswati Vandana by Sage Agastya )

She, who is as fair as the Kunda flower, white as the moon,
and a garland of Tushar flowers;
And who is covered in white clothes
She, whose hands are adorned by the excellent veena,
and whose seat is the pure white lotus;
She, who is praised by Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh;
and prayed to by the Devas
O Mother Goddess, remove my mental inertia!

 From the Principal's Desk
The Pupil Handbook is meant to be a conduit between the school and the
home. We spend a lot of time, and adequate thought to every little detail that
goes into the planning – whether it's the prayer, or the rules; the activities or
the year's assessment schedule. We love to offer a pupil-friendly and family
conducive space in school.

Our belief is that pupils from homes that are well-adjusted and have a
balanced approach make a very good learner community. Is it not the
responsibility of the school then to create such a climate first?

The focus of the planning contained in these pages is to make learning fun and
blend seamlessly with the pursuit of academic excellence. I wish you all hours
and hours of fun learning at LWS Thane.

Lodha World School, Thane is affiliated to the CISCE, New Delhi.

 Prayer Before Class
God made the sun,
And God made the trees,
God made the mountains,
And God made me.
Thank you dear God,
For the sun and the trees,
For making the mountains,
And for making me.

Prayer After Class

Thank you God for the day that’s been,
For teachers, parents and friends I’ve seen,
Who walk unwaveringly by my side,
As I flow along with the tide.
Now before I run to play
Let me not forget to pray
To God who kept me through the day
To God who will see me through the night.

Prayer Before Meal

Our hands we fold,
Our heads we bow,
For food and drink,
We thank God now.

 School Houses
Pupils of the school have been divided into the following houses:

House Colour Significance

Atulya Red Atulya: the incomparable, unequalled in quest for
excellence.
Never resting on past laurels, blazing new trails.
Shri JRD Tata is our inspiration. He exemplified
unmatched excellence in ethical and trail blazing
business leadership.
A pioneer in corporate social initiatives too, he was
a true champion.
The same unmitigable zeal we want to carry in our
quest for excellence.
Advaita Green Advaita: the non-dual, the one who is matchless,
peerless, with a single, unchanging vision.
One who is unique, having no duplicate, the
epitome of perfection.
Shri APJ Abdul Kalam is our inspiration. He had a
unique peerless vision for our country and society.
His detached involvement set him apart.
We want to give every dream the wings to fly with
the same matchless, unchanging vision of success
and perfection.
Ananta Blue Ananta: the infinite, limitless, endless possibilities.
Constant search and an unquenchable thirst for
higher and higher possibilities.
Mother Teresa is our inspiration. She was limitless
in her possibilities to extend compassion to most
down-trodden. She is a true role-model.
That same quality of limitless possibilities we want
to imbibe in us, in everything that we think
and do.
Akshaya Yellow Akshaya: the undiminishable, inexhaus ble spirit.
Ever bouncing back and not cowed by obstacles, to
achieve what we set out to do.
Mahatma Gandhi is our inspiration. He showed
inexhaustible strength, tolerance, patience, and
determination to achieve freedom. He is the
ultimate leader.
We want that inexhaustible spirit to pervade
through us in whatever we set our eyes on.
Students are grouped into the four Houses above. Each House is headed by a House Mistress
(designated teacher) and a House Captain and a Vice Captain.

 The LWS Community
Where We Were
The first step to moulding the 'Leaders of Tomorrow' is educa ng them with a world-class
educa on that empowers them.
This is the premise Lodha World School was founded on.
Under the aegis of the Sitaben Shah Memorial Trust, our journey towards academic
excellence began in June 2008 in the heart of Thane. We started with 24 eager learners – big
enough to kickstart an educa on movement with, small enough to be called family. While we
grew and explored unfamiliar paths over the years, we stuck to our roots – carrying along that
warmth and sense of belonging unique to Lodha World School.
Where We Are
We have come a long way from 2008. Today, the Lodha World School community boasts of
4 campuses and 3500+ pupils. We are affiliated to the ICSE, CBSE, SSC and ISC boards across
our schools.
With growth came diversity - reflected in our ever-growing community and in the ways we
adapted. Be it the syllabus, curriculum, or co-curricular ac vi es, each component is carefully
curated to meet the varying needs of our community in an equal and fulfilling manner.

The LWS Markers

At Lodha World School, the pupil is at the heart of everything we do. Our vision of
building a revolu onary future begins with them, and we go the extra mile to mould these
young leaders in revolu onary ways.
Our mul faceted learning environment goes beyond brick-and-mortar, fostering curiosity,
sparking conversa ons and exchange of ideas, helping them become the best they can be.
1. Symbio c Learning
Learning from everyone and everything
Symbio c Learning blurs the line between the teacher and the taught. It reinforces the idea
that learning can be derived from anyone and anything and encourages the sharing of
knowledge. Since every individual experiences the world in their unique way, we inculcate
Experien al Learning, giving every child the space to think, analyse, and apply their own
understanding to concepts taught.
Our go-to learning technique is a blend between Collabora on and Experien al Learning,
and a hallmark of the Montessori methodology followed in our schools.
Mul ‐age learning environment
Our mul -age learning environment is mutually beneficial not just for our pupils, but also
faculty. The interac on between the younger and older pupils and between the experienced
and new teachers sparks curiosity, different perspec ves and new learnings.

11
2. Design Thinking
Going beyond conven on to find answers
At LWS, learning occurs in myriad ways. We encourage the implementa on of Design
Thinking – a methodology in which learning and crea vity intersect. Presented with a
real-world problem, our young leaders are given the opportunity to work together and
solve it. This collabora ve approach to learning sparks ideas, conversa ons, debates,
leading to a new and unconven onal solu on instead of the tried and tested.
Inculca ng life skills
It's not about being right or wrong.
It's about honing life skills like crea vity, cri cal thinking and problem solving – skills that
are integral for our leaders of tomorrow.
3. Environmental Consciousness
Protec ng and nurturing our environment
We aspire for a be er tomorrow in every aspect. When it comes to protec ng and
nurturing the environment, we strive to lead by example.
Green School Policy
Environmental Consciousness is not just another ini a ve; it is embedded throughout
our way of life. Every ac vity and event in our schools promotes environment-friendliness.
 Green Drives
 Cleanliness Campaigns
 Plan ng more flora
 Eco events
 Projects/Ini a ves beyond the school
Zero Plas c School
We aim to become a Zero Plas c School. We educate, inspire, and involve everyone in this cause.
4. Emo onal Wellness
Looking inward and reaching out
We train our young leaders for life beyond the classroom. Emo onal quo ent, therefore,
plays a strong part in all we do, along with intelligence quo ent.
Vipasyana
We are in touch with the inside.
Through the Vipasyana program, our children connect to their mind and soul.
Community Outreach
We are in touch with the outside. LWS gives back to the community. Our community
outreach programs allow our students a peek into another's world, encouraging them to
reach out and contribute in their own way. Serving others becomes second nature.
Shramadaan
We take nothing for granted. Shramadaan develops among our children a newfound
apprecia on for their belongings and resources – they learn to value and preserve them.

 Evaluations, Appraisal and Promotions
For purposes of administration, the classes are grouped as follows:
Foundation Year : Classes Nursery – II
Lower Primary : Classes III – V
Upper Primary : Classes VI – VIII
Secondary : Classes IX – X

The school year starts in the middle of March. The school year is split into two academic
terms:
Term I ( Mid-March to Mid-September )
Term II ( Mid- September to Mid- March )

The preschool and the primary classes will be evaluated continually in the classroom through
oral work, worksheets, weekly assessments, outbound programmes, participation in project
work, literary, scientific, cultural and adventure activities etc. round the year.
The progress report will indicate the grades obtained in each subject.

The students' annual appraisal will be based on the above and their progress will be conveyed
to parents on Open House Days at the end of each term.
Continued neglect of academic work will not be condoned.

For Classes VI – IX, the school will follow a system of two examinations plus three cycles of
Round-the-year-Assessment in each subject.
For Class X, the school will follow a system of Terminal Examination, two cycles of Round-
the-year-Assessment in each subject and two Pre-Board Examinations.
Weekly Assessments of 40 marks x 2 = (80 marks and 20 marks internal assessment)
Terminal Exam. ( Aug.- Sep. ) = 100 marks ( 80 marks written and
20 marks internal assessment )
Final Exam. ( Feb.- Mar. ) = 100 marks ( 80 marks written and
20 marks internal assessment )

The students' annual appraisal will be based on the cumulative achievement level
throughout the year. The minimum pass marks in any subject is 40%.
Deficiency must be made good before promotion is considered. It will not be possible to hold
reassessments in any subject. Students who fall sick during evaluations and examinations are
advised to remain at home.

 Little Things that Matter the Most
We learn by doing and reflecting on what we do. – John Dewey

Let’s join the dots and complete one shape at a time as and when instructed by your class
teacher. Use this shape completed by you to write the answer to the question asked by
your teacher.

Some of the questions to reflect upon are –

1. Did you make someone feel that there is something special in them?

2. Were you an enthusiastic and cheerful learner?

3. Did you make an effort to improve on something you are not good at?

4. Did you promise yourself to think only the best in yourself and others?

5. Did you help someone selflessly?

6. Did you pay gratitude for all that you received?

7. Did you finish what you started?

8. Did you respect time and work diligently?

9. Were you as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own?

10. Did you meet every living creature with a smile?
