Virtual sessions were arranged with two breaks to ensure limited use of the screen. In case of academic difficulties, learners were given additional support by conducting remedial sessions. Quarterly parent-teacher interactions were conducted virtually. If any parent required any support from the school principal, coordinator, teachers, and administrative department were available to deal with the concern. As per the lockdown restriction, RBKIS supported board learners with safety norms whenever the school got permission. Cyber safety was a prominent concern during the pandemic. Cyber safety is a part of the regular school curriculum from Grade 6 onwards, and ICT teachers regularly help learners understand its appropriate use. Using child-friendly apps makes it easy and convenient for the child to upload projects, videos and display presentations. Another challenge that the school faces is in terms of parental expectations. Parents, these days, are interfering more in school activities but, at the same time, are not ready to take responsibility. The school conducts various parent orientation sessions to make them realise that educating a child is a collective responsibility of all stakeholders. Abundant Activities to Ensure Complete Development RBKIS strongly believes in the holistic development of learners. Catering to the multiple intelligence and different learning style of the learners, it offers a range of co- curricular and extracurricular activities in the school. Keeping in mind the health and fitness of learners, the school offers SPA activities with a range of sports like Football, Basketball, Lawn tennis, Skating, and Cricket. The school has a playground that supports all the abovementioned activities.
