Alumni Musings – Chandrakanthi Public School

At the outset, I express my sincere thanks for each and everything that the school did for us.

My parents chose CPS for the reason known to them. I became a part of this school when I was only 9 years old. Later on I realised that the ambience and the culture alone motivated my parents to admit me here. I learnt moral values here in the past, nearly a decade.

I was directed to meet the Principal mam almost all the academic years, because of my poor performance (not only academics, but from bringing mobile to the campus, to trying to copy in accounts unit test). I was not only a poor student in studies, but was also a crack head.

The approach of the Principal ma’am and the faculty totally changed me and I scored 90% at the end. I felt bad for all those days of my performance. Now I am happy to tell that I too belong to the proud family of CPS, as this family not only taught values, but was a great support system a teen needed.

Apart from this, I feel lucky to be a part of this school, as I've got the most beautiful memories with the teachers and students. To be honest, I really wanted to leave school and enjoy in college. I'm already missing School and the Management. The faculty always cared for us and now it's just that we don't have someone to do it. But this school has prepared us to meet the outside world. I will miss everything, from getting scolded by our Principal ma’am and teachers, to hiding behind friends when marks were distributed

Thank you for everything again... I did not get a chance to apologise for all my mistakes. I'm sorry for the things I did against the school, and I mean it. I'm a proud Chandrite and will always keep up to its name.

I convey my Congratulations to the Management for what it has achieved till now and I'm sure it will continue to give its best to the students!!

A place where we learnt to touch the sky and still keep our feet on the ground!!!

A place that transformed us into responsible and independent individuals! A place that has shaped us into what we are today!

From school assemblies to national events this place has given me a lot. And I have treasured each and every second in ‘My yellow abode, My School, My CPS’.

I have spent 10 out of the 17 years of my lifetime in this place. The place that has laid the foundation to the building I am yet to become.

It always gave me immense joy when I represented my school in various events. CPS has always stood by me in all my ups and downs.

We at CPS were and are truly blessed to have such a wonderful Management to support and to have Karuna Mam- Such a gem of a person by our side at all times. Last but not least, our teachers who were our best friends who never ever let us down and the ones who stood with me and helped me build the strongest foundation to my future I could've ever asked for.

Today all I can say is a big, big, THANK YOU to all these people who were, are and will be the pillars holding me.

THANK YOU CPS

I'm Kanisvar of 2020 batch. I have spent 2 years in Chandrakanthi public school for my senior secondary education .This school gave me a new experience , I basically felt like a family as each and every teacher understood me well and they were put their hands on my shoulders when I was in a struggle which increased my confidence levels and they also put their hands together feeling proud when I was awarded. I wanted to give here a special mention about my School Coordinator ' Mrs. Anbu Sudha ' , she was one of the best teachers I have ever met in my school life who understands the students and helps them and also stays friendly and enjoys with us. I always considered her as my second mother as she is so caring.

Apart from academics the School Management also cares a lot about the priority things which is so essential to lead a successful life like personality development, behavior, thinking skills, etc. All these characteristics were enriched in us by various seminars conducted by experts from various fields. The field trip to Chinmaya ashram helped us to know a step ahead about life and the educational trip to Bangalore helped us gather more knowledge. The warm, nurturing and academic environment has transformed me into an avid and successful learner. The school has exceeded our expectations in developing us in a proper way. No matter in which institute I will pursue my higher studies, I will always remember and appreciate the experiences I gained during my period at CPS.

I wish every school were like CPS. Every student would benefit from its warm and inviting environment. They stress on kindness and being respectful to others. They encourage students like no other school. I cannot say enough good things about it.

One of the best treasures in my life is my time at CPS; I enjoyed my school days over here. Our school's infrastructure is fantastic and the dedication level of the staff is excellent. The school gave us equal opportunities to shine in academics as well as sports.

Also the weekly school assemblies made us know our culture better!!

The school also hosts many workshops which enhances the students’ knowledge along with their syllabus.

Our school ground is a great place to nurture young sportsmen & women. They have dedicated sports staff for each sport, they also take us to inter-school and state level competitions.

One of the best things in our school is choosing our school leaders by voting. Wow what-a-democratic way that is!!

Our school Sports day and Annual day are the best days of the year.

Our Principal ma'am is a great support for us and she lets us participate in sports events even if we are high school students and we also maintained our academic grades high while participating in sports too.

There are plenty of opportunities to develop your personality here.

This is the best place for one who wants to excel in academics and sports.

Our school is simply magnificent!!

I joined Chandrakanthi Public School in the second grade, as the 'first batch student'. I've been a student in this esteemed school for 10 years. These 10 years have been the best experiences I've had, from learning a lot of new things to making friends for life and much more. One of the many reasons why I loved this school is because of my teachers. I'm honored to be a student of these teachers, who were the most friendly, and caring people. I thank my Principal mam, for providing me such a great opportunity to study in this great institution and I also thank my Academic Coordinator mam, for encouraging me and having faith in me, and making me believe in myself. This school has not only provided me with knowledge through academics but has also taught me values, manners, environmental awareness and a lot of other extracurricular activities. The 10 years I've spent in this school, were the best without any doubt and I'm deeply grateful that I got this wonderful opportunity.

I have been a student at Chandrakanthi Public School since grade 3. It’s an amazing school and the teachers and the Principal are very friendly. Also, our batch carries a special bond with our teachers, because we’ve been in CPS for a decade now. All these years have been so much fun and enjoyable that I’m already starting to miss them. I also found that my school provides a perfect balance between education and having other miscellaneous stuff that’s essential in our life, like drama, cookery, art and craft, gardening, club and extra-curricular activities. PT periods on this enormous ground were superb and the one that I’m always excited about, common assemblies that is held every Friday hold a special place in my mind.

We had many competitions where we could perform and let go of stage fear. Every Annual day and Carnival was fantastic. We were taken on a lot of field trips and tours and those long bus rides with our friends and the insight we got from those places were wonderful. We also used to have sleepover nights in our school in which we had delicious food, played with our friends and watched movies; overall, it was a tremendous experience.

The teachers here are supportive and caring. There were a lot of experiences I gained and many life lessons that I learnt from here. Thus, getting educated here was a great part of my life!

It has been a wonderful journey for the past 8 years since I joined CPS. I have learnt a lot of things from academics to social behaviour to extracurricular activities. The year I joined the school, it was in the process of undergoing major changes from moving to a brand new block to a new uniform so I never felt I was a new student. This fact was further helped when I made many friends for life from the get go.

In my previous school I was one among the crowd whereas here I was given the opportunity to lead a crowd which I always loved and it has also helped me develop a lot of leadership qualities.

Next, I would love to thank Principal ma’am, the teaching and non-teaching staff for their utmost care and love which moulded us into the persons we are now. This institution has not only provided me with knowledge but has also taught us how to be a good person in the society and the outside world.

The beautiful moments created in this wonderful place will stay in my memories forever and I am deeply grateful for the amazing start to my life provided by studying here.

I am Athrukshna, a proud Chandrite of CPS. Having been a student at Chandrakanthi for the past 7 years, I can undeniably say that I have been exposed to a wholesome schooling experience right from Grade 6 to Grade 12. They give equal importance to academics, sports, co-scholastic and extra-curricular activities. CPS has one of the best infrastructure, science labs, play grounds, gallery etc, maintained with excellent hygiene standards. CPS was a platform for me to experiment my interests which in turn brought out a lot of hidden talents I had. Whether it was being a Student Council member, or a delegate at the Model UN’s, or a speaker at the TEDx event , or in our house matches or as simple as organising an event at school - the Management was very supportive, engaging and always showing us new things to try out. CPS has definitely played an immense role in shaping who I am today and I'm super grateful to everyone – Correspondent Ma’am, Principal Ma'am, teaching/non-teaching staff, nannies and my fellow classmates.

I had the opportunity to study in Chandrakanthi Public School since grade 5 and I would say that it has been my second home. Students are embraced with patience , nurtured and supported by our Principal Mam and our teachers right from the very beginning. CPS is a school that pushes you to be successful not only academically, but also as an individual. They encourage you to strive for your best. CPS provides good quality education in a safe environment. I have grown and learnt so much in this wonderful school that has been a great contributor to the development of my personality. Humility, kindness and courage are the invaluable lessons I have learnt which will stay with me forever. I experience a sense of pride and appreciation every time I think about my school. CPS has given me the gift of an incredible education and I will forever be a proud Chandrite.

I have studied in CPS for over 10 years and my journey in this school was beautiful. I have learnt a lot of things apart from academics through various extra-curricular activities. I have seen this school grow from the very beginning to where it is now and I see a lot of passion in the institution to make CPS bigger and better. The environment and competitiveness is very healthy in the campus and I’ve made a lot of good friends through the years and I’m grateful for that.

I would like to thank ALL the staff, teaching and non-teaching, of the school for showing us immense love and care and for shaping us into better people. Coming out of this school, I feel great confidence in facing the outer world because of the values they have taught us. I have also gained a lot of exposure and confidence by leading a group a couple of times which I can carry it on to my future.

These 11 years in CPS will always have a special place in my heart which I can never forget and I’m really thankful for these wonderful memories.

Be Strong! Be Independent! Stand Tall! -this is what Chandrakanthi Public School has taught me in the last two years. I not only pursued my studies but also understood the exact meaning of grabbing opportunities to volunteer myself in activities to improve my skills. My teachers helped me a lot in this process and I feel thankful to have such teachers.

"Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher", my teachers from CPS are a manifestation of this phrase as they showcase separate concern and care for every single student that highlighted many of our hidden ideas. Being in this school trying different types of sports was an easy reach for a student like me who is not so good at sports but my P.E. teachers always made me participate in almost all sports events and encouraged me by quoting "Participation matters a lot than winning".

I loved all the tech club and cookery classes. The festival celebrations were so much fun and joining with all my peers to put up the weekly assembly made me feel way too excited. I also spent a virtuous time at Chinmaya and I thank my school for giving me that opportunity.

It may be just two years of my life at Chandrakanthi Public School but I believe that my learning here will definitely stand for a lifetime. Subsequently, our school proves this again in their motto "Dictata Pro vita - Lessons for Life".

I'm Roshan R Nair and I am one of the students who have been in CPS from its 1st year. I've been a student here from 2nd grade and this school has been my second home for the past 10 years. CPS has made my school life very memorable with almost no bad memories. Even though I've been one of the naughtiest kids in school, CPS taught me that being naughty isn't wrong and it's a part of a kid's life. This school has nurtured me in such a way that I have almost no stage fear; it has also made me a much more confident person. The teachers here are like mothers, friends, psychiatrists, doctors and sometimes devils, all combined into one. One of my best memories in school shockingly is the times I do something wrong and go to Principal Madam who always helped and counseled me so well. CPS was like a large family where Teachers, Nannies, Students, Gardener Annas and Driver Annas all gave us a very comfortable environment to grow up in.

I joined CPS in 9th Grade, I wasn’t very happy with switching school and leaving hometown but once I stepped into the campus I was mind blown by the infrastructure of the school. Everyone in the campus was very sweet and welcoming. I felt home in a very short span. I became a proud Chandrite and I still am. In those four years I was presented with enormous opportunities in academics, sports, ECA, organising events and so on which really helped me realise my strengths and weaknesses and grow into a better person. The most important thing of all, I had extreme fun and made millions of epic memories to cherish forever. It’s been only like a month and I already miss CPS. I thank the Management and Principal Ma'am for always supporting us in all aspects and providing us an amazing school life. I’m very grateful and in debt to Principal Ma’am, teaching/non-teaching faculty, friends, nannies for bringing the best version of me in these four years.

First, I routed my right leg into CPSndoubtfully and when I completed Gr XII, lifted my left leg successfully. More than subject lessons CPS has taught me life lessons.

Being a matric student till grade 10, I was first hesitant to join a CBSE school like CPS, but I was never underestimated, anywhere and anytime, filled me with confidence and positive vibes. Within this short period of time, I enjoyed thoroughly in all the situations. The most positive thing is that teachers are there for us to solve our problems, even a personal one. I din't know the value of being in CPS at the beginning, but missing those golden memories when I'm thinking of school right now. I am truly grateful for all your support and love especially the Principal, teachers and friends.

Finally that yellow building made me successful man called JEYAHARIHARAN

Cps, a second home! It all started back in 2011, when I wrote the entrance test and was awaiting the results! Before joining CPS, I was never punctual, had a very poor vocabulary and no interest in extra curricular activities. The magic happened when I set foot into the CPS campus. We were there from the construction of the senior block to the building of the third floor and the introduction of the lift! It took me a whole year to look around the campus and appreciate every detail that was thoughtfully put in place. We have thousands of memories on every floor of CPS in fact, every wall! The restroom and the water doctor will never be forgotten. Going to school with a really bad mood and coming back after an amazing day was nothing new. Everything we do is appreciated and that is what gave me confidence. The teachers laugh with us and also scold us when necessary. I still remember, back in 9th grade I was selected both as the best calligraphist and the disciplinarian of the class and Akila ma’am was so confused on what to give! That is how supportive the teachers are. Every day at CPS was a special day. Monday mornings, hot sun and my speech used to scare me every time but that is what led to my overall development.

From going up two floors with a heavy bag to leaving school with a heavy heart, an 8 year old journey ended!

My journey of five years in CPS has had a lot of mixed experiences and tons of memories. I feel that our school is really good in making all students take part in events conducted. I felt I had a lot of opportunities to improve my public speaking skills and I completely got rid of my stage fear.

All the sports meets and intra school events and competitions definitely created many memories and the discipline and tradition followed by CPS is noteworthy.

There were a lot of teachers who were like a friend or a mentor to us and it made class very interesting.

Despite getting into a lot of trouble, getting scolded by teachers almost every day, coming late to school often and being marked absent , almost being suspended and being taken to Principal ma’am’s office quite a few times, there's a lot that I miss already (including getting into trouble).

I must say this five year journey has definitely given me experiences to learn from and I'll miss CPS very much . I hope to stay in touch with all the teachers as well as the students.

I, S.J.Sudishnaa would like to express my sincere gratitude to Chandrakanthi Public School for helping me improve my skills in various fields, especially in academics and in sports. The institution provided me the best possible platform to show my potential and to improve too. I was a Chandrite, only for two years but still they gave equal opportunity for all the new comers too.

I never expected that they would nominate me for the Head girl position when I started my 1st year in this school and I am so thankful for giving me the opportunity. Thank you for all the opportunity that you have given me for making me a better person.

Chandrakanthi Public School is a great place to learn. I've gotten a lot of great exposure while I studied there for seven years. CPS has made me who I am today and I will always be thankful for it. The environment, teachers, infrastructure and even the non-teaching staff make it possible for the students to bring out their full potential.

The journey may be difficult but the destination is heartwarming. It has been an extraordinary journey in CPS. This is not just a place for education but also a place for life values. The entire experience was life changing, with student friendly teachers who make you comfortable with their best efforts. You will also get some good exposure and experience through the various activities of the school .Rather than being a part of a group, I was given the opportunity to lead a group which I always loved and it also helped me to learn leadership qualities.

The sports ground and canteen are places holding our fond memories where there was non-stop chatter.

I would like to thank our Principal mam ,all the teachers and non teaching staff for their utmost care and love which moulded us into the persons we are now. The friendship developed in school is always said to be the best, which I pledge now that it will always have a special place in my life .

The school days may be over but the memories will always be etched in our heart.

“CPS you will be dearly missed “

Chandrakanthi public school has been my haven for 10 years. It is not only a second home but a place of knowledge, growth, improvement, opportunity, creativity and love.

They have guided and helped me take on the right path in life. The school excels academically too. The premises are safe and secure and the school makes me feel valued and happy. They never fail to inculcate values like discipline, respect and flexibility in students. The school also helps in building a healthy attitude and a a well-mannered behaviour. The Principal, teachers and staff excel not only in teaching but also in providing love and nourishment when needed.

It has been an honor studying in this school and I have nothing but gratitude and respect for them. Looking back I have no regrets and I am proud to say that Chandrakanthi public school is my alma mater.

“It’s been a long journey which has come to an end after 10 years. It is going to be a part of me forever. “

The school has good lab facilities, and sports equipment. The infrastructure of the school is good, and it is well maintained. The after-school sports session from 4:30 to 5:30pm gave me an opportunity to improve my skills in football. The faculties for the main core subject were good and took great pains to help us learn the concepts. The subject of computer science has always been my field of interest and I am grateful to my computer teacher for keeping that fire in me burning. The snacks at the canteen were delicious and mouthwatering. They served healthy snacks, which show that the school is not only concerned about the student’s grades but also on his health.

My school days were wonderful. I am going to miss all my teachers and nannies, who played an important role in my life to set me on the right path. This journey has taught a lot of life lessons and helped me take a step forward to reach my destination. I am going to miss this part of my life’s journey a lot, but this will be the best part of my life.

In the roller coaster journey with the highest of ups and lowest of downs, CPS helped me build a character that I could ever imagine. CPS gave me everything I desired and the best of opportunities so that I could stand tall and confident, ready to face the world. The teachers never failed to inspire me with not only their knowledge, but also with their charismatic way of handling situations. The non-teaching staff were exceptionally cooperative. From hygiene to security, from the sports grounds to the labs, the facilities provided here are like none other. The guest lectures, field trips and other educational visits helped me understand things from a very different perspective. I will be forever grateful for the lessons I was taught, both in-class and outside. This institution truly helped me ‘Dictata Pro-Vita’ – Learning lessons for life. Now I can proudly walk around saying …YES! I AM A CHANDRITE!

Best Regards
