Student nurture !

Anna and I were invited to attend the annual day of the Occupational and Physiotherapy students association annual day on Saturday. They are ten students in each batch and so it is a small of hundred students, who were responsible to organise the annual day function. It was a good evening well spent watching  their performance of a play, instrumental music, singing and dance. 

One of the things that was evident was their high level of organisational skills. It was obvious that they co-ordinated well to bring the best from each person. 

During our conversation with students, we realised that they get influenced by the ambience of the Christian Medical College. They appreciate the cordial staff-student relationship, enabling and encouraging learning environment and  up-building  social relationships. 

From the time they came to CMC, the students have made significant strides in advancing their skills. They discovered their acting, singing  and dancing skills during their time here. Most of them were performing for the first time. They effused confidence and artistry. A few students we knew from their school days had made a remarkable progress in their holistic development. That is true of others as well from what we heard from the faculty.

It was refreshing to know that, the most students transcend the class room learning requirements to attend to their formative experience. The vice-principal in charge of the allied health students mentioned to me that these students behave responsibly and enthusiastically. They prepare themselves to excel in their profession. 

The focus on student nurture ought to be a priority for an educational institution. We were glad to find this happening in a meaningful way!
