“Whatever good things we build end up building us.”
The four walls with lots of success stories.
At Nirmala Matha Convent School ICSE/ISC, a top priority is given to hands-on experience in a laboratory set up to reinforce what is learned in a theory class. Laboratories for Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Computer Science are integral parts of a student’s learning experience.
Physics Laboratory
Physics is that branch of science where experimentation is an integral part of the core subject. A physics lab aids a student in establishing the relevance of the theory. It brings clarity to the mind of the students regarding the basic concepts of the subject. Students understand the difference between theory and application. The laboratory aims in enabling students to learn physics theories in a more elaborate manner with the involvement of its application. The experiments are carried out in coherence with the curriculum. The school has a sophisticated physics laboratory with the latest state-of-the-art facilities that equip the students to have hands-on experience. The flat-topped tables used as student workstations allow multiple arrangements and combinations for laboratory work and small-group activities.
Chemistry Laboratory
A dynamic and well-equipped laboratory that is kept upgraded every academic year as per the requirements of ICSE/ISC and the advances in the subject knowledge and curriculum. A safe environment where students investigate and observe chemical properties. Lab activities are monitored under the supervision of qualified faculty and staff. Lab activities include mixing chemicals, analyses of salts, identifying PH of acids and bases, titration between the concentration of acids and bases, and observing the concentration of chemicals, nature of gases, etc. The lab is furnished with sufficient quantities of pipettes, burettes, Bunsen burners, coolers, water baths, and different acids with various concentrations, centrifuges, chemical reagents, and specimens according to the prescribed syllabus of ICSE /ISC.
Biology Laboratory
Observations and experiments make learning more interesting. Laboratories are stimulating places for science students. They try to explore, probe, and experiment to find the truth behind the facts of life. The school boasts of a well-maintained and well-stocked Biology laboratory.’Learning by doing is the motto of our Biology lab. The biology lab is well equipped with preserved specimens, slides, models, and bio-visual charts to emphasize developing scientific temper among the students. The laboratory apparatuses range from slides, test tubes, Petri dishes, pipettes, dissection, and compound microscope with varying powers to observe samples and organisms closely. The laboratory has a variety of apparatuses for physiological experiments too. Well-ventilated and spacious with an exhaust system that efficiently sustains a comfortable environment in the lab.
Computer Laboratory
In this rapidly changing world of information technology, it becomes an absolute necessity for students to have adequate and updated knowledge in the subject of Computer Sciences. Our school provides well- equipped, air-conditioned, and sophisticated computer laboratory with an in-built LCD monitor and a digital library with a round-the-clock lab facility. The lab uses the latest systems and software packages like BlueJ, LOGO, Tux paint, MS Office, HTML. Practical exposure is provided to the students to build on their knowledge acquired in the classroom sessions. Information Technology-based learning solutions and multimedia experience are used to enlarge the student’s overall knowledge and perspectives.
Smart Class
Technology has pervaded every facet of human life now. Technology-enabled learning is the new normal that students have to partner with as they increasingly find technology shaping their daily lives including their education. Technology-enabled Smart Classrooms take our students’ learning experiences to a higher level providing.
Interactive learning modules.
Visually attractive learning content.
Digitally interactive whiteboards.
Attractive, interesting, easy-to-understand methodologies.
Dynamic knowledge sharing system.
Helping students evolve into better learners.
Tie-up with diverse smart class content providers like NEXT Education, Educomp,and Extra Marks for multifaceted knowledge base.
3D Class
3D or 3-dimensional viewing is an exciting experience anyone would agree with, be it a kid, youth, or adult. Our smart classrooms are equipped with technical equipment and 3D learning content that enthralls the students. What better way to help students explore new knowledge than to help them immerse themselves and experience the delight of seeing abstract ideas come to life through 3D viewing. The 3D lab is available for select modules in Mathematics and Science.
Library
“One Best Book Is equal to Hundred Good Friends, One Good Friend is equal to a Library.”
“Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.”
The students’ library on the campus has an interesting and exhaustive collection of 5000 books, 18 periodicals, reference books, and electronic study resources in English, Tamil, Hindi, and French. The facility serves as an area for quiet reading and referencing. Students and teachers visit the library regularly. The library complements the teaching and learning process. The library and its staff are dedicated to providing the best services to the children, educators, and parents in enriching their reading experiences.
English Laboratory
No doubt, English language skills have become vital to a successful academic record and a prosperous career thereafter. Imparting these vital skills to any language learner requires innovative approaches in a world that is increasingly becoming complex. One of the time-tested and enduring methodologies is the learning one can imbibe in English Language Labs through unique methodologies in one’s own time. Our school boasts of a dynamic English Language Lab catering to the language development needs of all our students, from LKG to Grade 12. Besides the four fundamental skills, namely, Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing, students also learn intonation, syllables, vocabulary, fluency, and pronunciation et al.
