We believe education is not only about the lessons learnt in classrooms, but the values which remain thereafter.
Our Ethos Committee helps nurture and strengthen this ethos of SishuGriha by ensuring these values are reflected in everyday school life. It connects the Mentor, Core Team, Heads of Sections and teachers, helping turn shared ideas into meaningful practice and coordinating the annual value journey, Golden Hours and other value-based engagements.
The committee encourages creativity to express these values through posters, bulletin boards, newsletters and other school communications. It also creates opportunities for students to hear diverse perspectives and experiences, including those of alumni.
Through collaboration and continuous engagement, the committee helps build a shared culture across SishuGriha, encouraging adults to model these values and ensuring they find a natural place in everyday relationships, conversations and experiences.
Advisor - Ethos Committee
Mrs. Geetha Chandran serves as the Culture and Ethos Strategist, shaping and sustaining the school’s core values, principles and cultural identity. She works closely with students, staff and the wider community to ensure that the school’s ethos is not simply a statement, but a lived experience.
Reflecting on the philosophy behind the school’s Value Programme, Mrs. Chandran shares:
“Values are not simply taught. They are understood through experience, reflection and the choices we make. For children, this means creating everyday opportunities to connect values with real life. This involves the whole school community, with students, teachers, staff, leaders, families and alumni helping to bring these values to life through everyday practice and experience. Its true measure is not how well a child can explain a value, but how it shapes the way they respond, take responsibility, understand others and learn from experience, both within school and beyond."
The very name of our school, “Sishu Griha”, House of Children, conveys an affectionate homeliness where children are not pressurised and where love and understanding reign supreme. Age-old practices like greeting with a Namaste find resonance in the way the students greet their elders, be it the service staff or their teachers. Instead of following a strict hierarchy our school believes in dissolving boundaries, you’ll be delighted to find the students of Sishu Griha addressing their teachers as aunty - that’s the endearment we aspire for.
We also believe in remaining true to our conviction that tradition and technology go hand in hand because at Sishu Griha, a belief in our cultural heritage has not diminished with the advent of the modern age. Celebrating all major festivals and instilling in our students a sense of secularism go a long way in keeping our sacred traditions alive. Sishu Griha remains a blessed space of enlightenment, where our students can realise their true potential and blossom into confident human beings the world is proud of.
