Life at GRT
Clubs, courts, stage and library — the hours that shape a child as much as any lesson does.
A school day that is more than lessons
Ask a student what they remember about the year and you rarely hear a chapter number. You hear the club they ran, the match they nearly won, the play they were talked into, the morning they read the assembly notice without stumbling.
So the things that build confidence are timetabled, not left to whoever can stay back. Clubs, games, arts and library all sit inside school hours.
- A weekly club period for every student in Classes 6 to 8
- Compulsory physical activity classes for all students
- Arts, music and theatre taught during the school day
- A timetabled library period up to Class VIII
How a school day runs
Indicative — timings shift a little by stage, and the office will confirm the exact schedule for your child’s class.
Assembly
Prayer, the day’s thought, notices read by students, and the week’s achievements named out loud.
Lessons
Subject periods with a short break, taught in sections capped at 32 students.
Lunch
Supervised lunch, with the canteen open through school hours for snacks and beverages.
Club or Library
The club period, the library period, or lab work — depending on the day and the class.
Games & PE
Throw-ball, volleyball, basketball, yoga and athletics on the courts and the ground.
Where students spend themselves
Clubs
Fourteen clubs from Red Ribbon to Robotics, each run by student office bearers who plan the year themselves.
Sports & Fitness
Throw-ball, volleyball, basketball, yoga and athletics outdoors; carrom and table tennis indoors.
Arts & Music
Bharatanatyam, carnatic vocal, keyboard and visual arts, with theatre classes for every student.
Celebrations
Annual Day, Onam, Pongal, Independence Day, Krishna Jayanthi and Aksharabhyasam — the year marked properly.
Student Leadership
An investiture ceremony, a student election council, and club office bearers chosen by interview.
Library & Reading
A timetabled library period, a foreign-language section, periodicals and daily newspapers.
Life at GRT
The year, as it happened
Come and see an ordinary school day
Not a showcase — a Tuesday. That is when you learn the most about a school.
