Clubs at a glance

Film Appreciation Club

The youth of today are completely under the spell of the celluloid world; so much so that their REAL lives appear to be more and more like the REEL lives depicted in films. Today’s film makers, being quite aware of what excites and interests the youth, try to fashion their creations on those lines; as a result, the market is catering to the masses whose tastes lie in inane or light- hearted themes; people of all ages only watch a movie if it promises to take them away from their stressful lives into an imaginary world, albeit for a short span of three hours.

Given the tremendous influence of the celluloid world on the minds of our youth, we at Sarala Birla Academy, conduct the Film Appreciation Club to engage the minds of our students in discerning the quality of a film; to separate the ‘wheat from the chaff’, and to enable them to know what kinds of films send out really powerful life- changing messages.

The members watch a movie ‘frame by frame’ and perceive the nuances in it. They are also introduced to different genres of films like Classics, Award Winners, Works of Great Directors, Thrillers or Regional; the screening of a film is followed by a discussion of the film. Documentaries and short films are also given due importance in the agenda. Guest speakers are called from the student community to put forth their views and expert comments.

General discussions are held on either a particular film they have watched or on information and History of films.

In doing so, students at SBA have an opportunity to explore their potential talent, if any, in this field, or satisfy their curiosity about the world of films and film making; or simply experience the joy of watching a good film and appreciating its value.

Indeed, the quality of a film lies in how well it can create an imaginary world around us, which at the same time feels vibrantly real and close to our heart. We believe our student members do cultivate an understanding of such films.

Art Club

At KSE, the Art Club is not just a space for creative expression; it’s a vibrant hub where students dive into the world of two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, enriching their aesthetic abilities. This club goes beyond the ordinary, providing a platform for students to explore various artistic mediums and share their unique designs.

Encouraging students of both senior and junior grades, the Art Club actively promotes participation in various Inter school art competitions. This not only helps in showcasing the students’ talents but also instils a sense of accomplishment. The club’s engagement extends to visits to local art colleges and galleries, fostering connections within the arts community and emphasizing the value of creative work.

The Art Club is a haven for students to delve into their creativity, a luxury not everyone gets to experience. It serves as a reminder that art is not just a subject; it’s a journey of self-discovery and expression.

The KSE Art Club exists as a vibrant community dedicated to celebrating the profound impact of art on our lives. Beyond mere entertainment, art serves as a powerful catalyst for personal, emotional, and social development. Whether we find joy in creating or appreciating, the arts are integral to shaping our perspectives, fostering creativity, enhancing our overall well-being and holistic growth.

Cookery Club

Cooking is an art form that elevates the process of making food to a kind of creative expression by emphasizing the significance of creativity, intuition, and personal expression in the kitchen. From mastering various types of chopping techniques to refining their cooking abilities, participants delve into the art of gastronomy. Cooking stimulates not just the taste buds but also, the senses of sight, smell, and touch. The ability to convert raw ingredients into a culinary masterpiece necessitates imagination, competence, and a thorough knowledge of taste.

In all our classes children understood the nutritional value of the ingredients used and the importance of consuming fresh vegetables in their daily diet. They also understood the proportion of adding different ingredients like, salt, pepper, coriander leaves, sugar, cheese, masala powders, mayonnaise, sauces etc.

Quiz Club

“In a quizzing, every question is an opportunity to learn something new.”

The Quiz Club within the academy serves as a vital platform for students to enrich their knowledge, critical thinking, and teamwork skills through various activities and competitions. The emphasis on a diverse range of topics, including academics, general knowledge, analytical abilities, and quantitative reasoning, reflects a comprehensive approach to education.

We encourage and conduct periodic quizzes on specific topics among club members. Students are divided into groups across different grades each group hosts a quiz weekly, giving students firsthand experience in organizing, hosting, and scoring quizzes. Questions designed to encourage critical thinking and in-depth study, fostering creative learning. These activities help enhance knowledge beyond the curriculum, nurturing critical thinking, analytical skills and bridges the gap between academic learning and practical application thereby preparing students for real-world challenges.

The club provides students with opportunities to participate in inter-house and inter-school quizzes, showcasing their knowledge and winning accolades

This year, there were 34 students and 4 teachers in the Chess Club. Mr. Balakrishna Prabhu, a dedicated chess coach from Champions Chess Academy trained the members on Saturday during the SUPW classes. During the Club activity, first half is used to discuss various techniques that need to be applied while playing the game. The second half is used to practice these techniques by encouraging the students to play among themselves.

Literary and Dramatic Club

Dramatics and Literary Club in KSE is a vibrant club that provides students with opportunities to explore and celebrate the world of literature and performing arts, fostering a love for reading, writing, and critical thinking. This club serves as creative hub where our students can immerse themselves in the realms of drama, literature, and storytelling. The combination of dramatics and literary elements creates a holistic space for students to express themselves, develop their communication skills, and collaborate on various artistic endeavours.

In this club, students often engage in a range of activities, including script reading, play rehearsals, improvisation exercises, literary discussions, poetry readings, writing workshops, and literary analysis sessions. Sometimes the students collaborate on creative writing projects, participate in debates, or organize events such as visits of authors or literary competitions. Students work together to stage theatrical productions, organize storytelling events, or participate in drama competitions. This collaborative and expressive environment allows students to not only enhance their understanding of literature but also to develop their acting, directing, and production skills. This club encourages a sense of community among like-minded individuals and promotes teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. In conclusion, literary club plays a significant role in the intellectual and personal development of students, fostering a lifelong appreciation for literature and providing a supportive community for those who share similar interests.
