Junior Library
 |
Modern School has always laid great emphasis on inculcating the habit of reading in its students, right from the beginning. It has 2 Libraries, one for the seniors (S-4 - S-7) and one for the juniors (S-1 - S-3). The Junior Library is well-stocked with lots of books on all subjects ranging from dinosaurs to the Famous Five and the math’s puzzles to the Amar Chitra Kathas. Each student is allowed to issue one book at a time, for a maximum period of 14 days. |
Mrs. Madhulika is the responsible librarian of the Junior Library, and she takes great pleasure and pride in helping the children to choose the right books for themselves. For the children’s benefit, the Library also subscribes to children’s magazines such as Champak, Children’s Digest, and Junior Science Refresher.
Therefore, the Junior Library helps to feed the eager minds of the young students, by giving them the right medium for knowledge and awareness, in the form of exciting and informative books and magazines.
Sanatorium
Performing the uphill task of keeping 2500 students healthy and on the go is the Sanatorium of the school. Centrally located in the Main Block, it is easily accessible to all students. It is fully-equipped with 3 beds, oxygen cylinders and a wheel chair. It also conducts regular dental and ENT check-ups. The doctor in-charge, Dr. Vandana, joined the school in the year 2000.
Canteen
The state-of-the-art canteen of the school is managed by the retail food chain Fast Trax. The canteen serves wraps, sandwiches and refreshing ‘nimbu pani’; nutritious and delicious all the same.
Forever bustling with students, the cafeteria has a lively décor and plays popular music. Responsibility is not forgotten with fun. Waste lanes are placed at proper locations around the canteen, to minimize littering.
The CD Library
The Modern School CD library is an amalgamation of technology and education. It caters to the needs of students from classes S1 to S7. Students can choose any CD that they want from the huge collection which covers wide-ranging topics from Bike-Racing Video Games to Human Physiology; from the era of Akbar to the latest Harry Potter flick; from Tom and Jerry to Calculus and Permutations-Combinations. CDs are issued for a maximum period of 5 days and the membership fee for one academic year is Rs. 600. Ms. Farah Khan, the teacher in-charge, says that the CD Library also offers Multimedia Encyclopedias such as the Britannica, which may not be available to the students otherwise. At present, over 200 students of all classes are availing the benefits of the CD Library. |
