INTERVIEW WITH SISTER SWAATI -SAINA KOHLI AND FIZA GUPTA


Interview With Sister Swati
Saina : How do you feel being the prnciple of carmel convent school?
Sister : it makes me feel no difference .it makes me feel proud .i am happy to serve carmel.
Fiza : what is your vision for our school?
Sister : my vision is to make children happy and make them bloom in what ever capacity they posses.I wish to get support from the school committee and to render my support.
Jaisha: How do you feel about the creation of the carmel band?
Sister : i feel very proud.when i do any thing i do my best, and rest i leave to the day to come.When you do anything with 100% effort the results are always in your favour.
Saina : can you tell us briefly about your childhood journey to being the principle of carmel?
Sister : My teaching career started in 1987.i teached 2 years in Goa,3-4 years in gujrat and 4 years in jammu-jammu was the best experience.whenever i talked to people they phrased "you should be a principle ; we expect you to came back as a principle".
Fiza : what do you think is lacking in the carmelites?
Sister :no ...nothing is lacking that way . everything is provided in carmel.But i sometimes feel integrating that what we learn and teach in the school , we dont see it being practiced.
Fiza : How do you feel about the discipline of our school?How do you think can you change it?
Sister : Well it is my feeling....that from the day I have come the discipline has improved alot.

(we all laugh with her) I dont want you girls to follow 'policeman' discipline , i dont want you to pass by the corridors with your hands at the back and a finger on your mouth showing 'i am quite sister'.But in the class i want that the students should be responsible enough to maintain discipline whether the teacher is their or not.
Prerita : what are your expectations from us?
Sister : As students i expect you to be children of prayer, because carmel represents prayer.I want the students to stop their bad habits like using foul language and bullying,etc.
Fiza : what do you want the future of carmelites to be?
Sister : School should excel in quality not in quantity.Whatever we do we should put in our best .Multiplying children is not necessary but the quality we bring out is .
Jaisha : What does carmel mean to you?
Sister : to me carmel means prayer.
Saina : You have often pointed out in these past years about our uniforms and flicks being inappropriate , what do you think about it now?
Sister :What i dont like is that the girls are altering your tunics with your own taste. Its not like that i want the student to make 2 plaates and apply oil but i just want hair to be neatly tied.
Prerita : As the news travels fast ,there were rumours that our dress code would be changed into suits...is that true?
Sister : As long as your uniform is neat it should not come to your worries.......and anyway changing uniform requires little time.
Saina : What are your views about the CCE System currenty in 9th and 10th?
Sister : Im very happy about it,i feel that children are getting more opportunities and i specifically feel that cce system should be alloted to every class from middle school,that way everyone will participate in the upcoming events.
Saina and fiza : how do you feel about the upcoming clubs like reporters club,photograph club,ngo,etc.....??
Sister : to be frank i feel the oppportunities are only given to very few students and by increasing the number of clubs every student can participate one way or another.i just love children and want to do what is best for them.
Saina:since you are such an inspiration,who was your first inspiration i mean your role model?
Sister: well i remember my class teacher of 2nd class.he teached me many values with love though he was strict he was very affectionate.he was my inspiration. that's what i wish to give you.i want you to do the best.
THEN WE ALL GREETED HER BEST OF LUCK AND PROMISED TO COORDIATE WITH HER..............

Please do a spell check before posting it up on the net...especially when it is regarding the school 'PRINCIPAL'...that's how it needs to be spelt.
Thank you.
