CURRICULUM
Pollocks aims to provide a spectrum of brand and balanced education, which not only prepares the students for the Public Examinations but also gives young people the confidence to achieve success in their adult life. The majority of the full time experienced teacher’s fulfil vital role of Group tutors as well as equipping themselves to implement, across all the departments, our policy of delivering Information Technology to all students. One department deserves particular mention. The Language development unit has built an international reputation for helping students with specific learning difficulties.
LEADERSHIP
The Pollocks School enlists and guides the talents, energies and aspirations of students to higher levels of achievement through opportunities of leadership, constantly nurturing, improving and reforming personalities to take on large roles at leadership.
Monitor System
Class Level Nominated monitors for each class-division are entrusted with responsibilities of Discipline, Education, Health and Hygiene, Traffic and Transport. This system provides opportunities for students at young ages to step up to positions of limited leadership. Emphasis is laid on maximum opportunity i.e. all children must be given equal opportunities at leadership as far as possible.
Praefectorial Board
Senior Classes Towards the last quarter of the academic year an exciting phenomenon begins to churn: the air is pregnant with aspirations and ambitions taking wings in the form of opportunities in leadership.
A nominating committee consisting of the Principal, Coordinators and respective class and subject teachers identifies a set of students as House Prefects. House Prefects shall shoulder the responsibilities of portfolio of Discipline, Education, Health and Hygiene, Traffic and Transport who shall guide and mentor the class monitors. Another set of students from the senior most class are nominated to contest elections to the coveted posts of School Captain, School Vice-Captain, House Captain and Vice House Captain. Here on the excitement begins to gain momentum; the canvassing begins, posters add to the colours on the notice boards, speeches are delivered at assemblies, candidates reveal their plans and demonstrate their oratory skills at debates, all of this culminating in the casting of the ballot and the declaration of the results and finally the formation of the Board.
FACULTY
Teachers are the real pillars of an institution. Our teachers deserve credit for the excellent performance of our students. We believe that every child is born with equal intelligence; it is only that some have quick grasping power, while others are slow learners with specific learning difficulties.
The talent pool of Pollocks faculty make the slow learners cope up and join the mainstream at the earliest. The School’s have highly dedicated, committed, qualified & experienced senior staff who play a very crucial role in moulding the students, aiming at personal development, in addition to sound drilling in their respective subjects. The Faculty is also constantly engaged in orientation programmes and review meetings to gauze the progress made. The specialist teachers for activities like Music, Dance, Craft, and Electronics encourage creativity.
Our teaching staff have been carefully selected for their qualifications and teaching experience, as well as their sensitivity to the special needs of the students.
All our teachers take a personal interest in each student’s progress with regular reports available to parents and guardians.
Kindergarten is a stepping stone in a child’s life. In this phase special attention, innovative methodology with motherly attitude of teacher is necessary to mould them into perfect blooming buds. Our Teachers take utmost care in training and teaching the kids. The Principal & Vice-Principal closely monitor individual performance and are always available to discuss progress. Shaping the future of the children with the advantage of experience and the most modern teaching methodologies, our teaching staff undergo special up gradation in teaching methodology. Personality development is an important part of the curriculum here. Student’s performance is evaluated after an overall consideration of parent’s views, suggestions, teacher’s comments and analyzing progress or the lack of it in a systematic manner. The students whose performance is below average will receive special attention to catch up with the rest of the class, in the shortest time possible. The faculty is always ready to respond and very friendly, giving students their keen attention in clarifications of doubts and often boosting student morale with their sincere advice and encouragement. To put it simply, the students, teachers and management of Pollocks School form a close knit family who constantly strive for excellence in every sphere.
