Our moments of peace are always associated with some form of beauty, of the spark of harmony within, corresponding with some infinite source without. So if children can create an object d’art from something as ordinary as a discarded cardboard box, ice cream cup or old newspaper they are actually discovering the unfathomable fountainhead of creativity within themselves.

Almost every child has an inborn need to create; in most cases this is thwarted and forgotten, and the drive is pushed into other activities that are less rewarding. That's the reason why many students are lured to the SUPW room for it is a treasure trove of shimmering marvels and radiant textures. It is interesting to note that breaking the barriers of stereotypes, many boys from all classes spend endless hours creating, exploring and enjoying as they soar on the gossamer wings of their imagination in the SUPW room. Under the guidance of their teachers Mrs. Anita Talwar , Mrs. Gunjan Singhal and Mrs Annie John, the girls and boys set on a journey of discovery .To create anything , no matter how badly or how well is a way to become, to find out what you are, what you can do, what’s inside of you. The teachers understand this and are constantly encouraging the students , tapping every talent, standing by their side and helping them to build confidence as they learn to work with dexterity and skill. For creative minds, this is the ‘coolest’ room in the school .

For the staging of all the opulent and grandiose English and Hindi plays each and every prop is designed and made in this self-created factory outlet thereby enhancing the razzmatazz and the magnificence of the iconic plays.The spectacular dance and music shows, Special Assemblies, Award Ceremonies and Festivals are embellished with inventive props and displays designed and crafted in this creative hub.

Our students are a class apart and outshine the others in inter school competitions whether it is flower arrangement, puppet making or mask making, vegetable carving competitions, they waltz home with an array of prizes.

Every day is a new discovery as the students learn innovative ways of creating exquisite things from waste boxes ,pieces of cardboard, old cloth, wires, beads, buttons and more .The students are constantly engaged in block printing, papier mache, embroidery, stitching, fabric painting making the best out of waste, and the list is endless.

The SUPW room is the chrysalis of a virtual blitzkrieg of ideas where the teachers fuel creativity inspiring students to conjure fantastical ideas and create beautiful things .

For the parents, the SUPW Exhibitions are a shoppers delight where they get to purchase exquisite handcrafted things of beauty , keepsakes of a cherished happy childhood.
