LABORATORIES

Laboratories are a seed ground where students get to explore, question, invent and deduce findings and learn in a collaborative way. Keeping in mind the famous Chinese proverb "I hear - I forget ; I see -- I remember ; I do -- I understand", the school boasts of separate lab facilities for Senior School and Middle School for all the Science subjects viz Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science. The Physics, Chemistry and Biology Lab have fully equipped teaching stations at the front of the room. They can see instructional demonstrations before they conduct experiments themselves. Each Lab has a spacious work area and at a time 40 students can be involved in experimentation. All the labs are equipped with computers. Trained Lab assistants help in the maintenance of Labs.

There is a Chemistry lab in our school. The labs is well-lit , well equipped and can accommodate 20-25 students. The children can conduct practical’s individually. The Class XII students also conduct investigatory projects apart from the usual testing and analysis. For the middle school there is a provision to demonstrate a lot of experiments. Many charts and models are displayed and used as teaching aids. The lab managed by qualified lab assistants who help the students to perform experiments safely.

The Biology lab is well- structured, well-lit and well-equipped. There is no dearth of material and children are encouraged to explore the mysteries and understand difficult concepts of the subject through experimentation. The children are also taken outdoors to study the flora and fauna. The school garden is an ecology lab by itself. The gardeners supply the lab with live materials like plants and insects.

Students compete in a variety of robotic challenges that include drones, mazes, obstacle ride, races, and soccer.

A library opens the portals to the infinite world of knowledge. A library is a collection of resources in a variety of formats that isorganized by information professionals or other experts who provide convenient physical, digital, bibliographic, or intellectual access and offer targeted services and programs with the mission of educating, informing, or entertaining a variety of audiences and the goal of stimulating individual learning and advancing society as a whole.

Western Music Rooms
Music education plays an important role in a child’s overall development intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Music offers creative challenges and aesthetic appreciation as well as self-expression and self-discovery opportunities.

To foster emotional and practical maturity, personal and intellectual development in students’, our school emphasizes on imparting appropriate music lessons in classical, folk and western genres. Practical maturity is gained by the students through music education where they learn time management, self-assessment, the ability to accept criticism and self-evaluate further. Music develops critical thinking skills and make the students excellent problem solvers. Music is also a form of art, and OPGM never falls short in finding and promoting individual’s talent of expressing his/her thoughts through the medium of art.

Music plays a vital role in fostering personality trails and helps students to enrich their intelligence which would lead them to their own path of success.
