Primus Public School

We, at Primus, believe that it is important to have a happy environment which is conducive to effective learning. We strive to provide an education that meets the needs of all students. Clearly, each child is different and may not find the same things interesting or fun to do. It becomes important for us to provide varied opportunities to children so they may be able to discover their talents and hone their skills.

When we choose teachers, we prioritise their passion for teaching and their love for working with children. It is when the teacher is excited by who she is teaching and what she is teaching that learning is most effective. Children learn best when they feel a connection with the teacher who values them and their opinions.

Children are encouraged to think and ask questions so they may be able to devise innovative and creative ways to solve issues. Their innate curiosity is preserved so that they may better understand the world around them. They are taught to revel not just in their own success but also in the achievements of the people around them. Students are encouraged to work in groups by collaborating with fellow team members. Music, Dance, Art and Theatre are invaluable avenues for students to express themselves and are an integral part of the curriculum. Sports is part of the school culture- often, more life lessons are learnt on the sports field than in a classroom. We are fortunate to have a spacious games field.

Technology is an integral part of the school and its functioning and teachers frequently use audiovisual media to make their lessons come alive. However, we do not believe in allowing students to be too dependent on gadgets so they are not allowed to carry electronic gadgets to school. The focus is on experiential and hands-on learning.

Academically, Primus has always been at the forefront with our students winning accolades at the state, national and international levels. Our alumni have spread their wings far and wide and give us plenty of reasons to be proud!

With about 1200 students, we are a large enough school to provide a structured and competitive learning atmosphere but also small enough to know each child. Our idea of success comes from the knowledge that our students and staff are happy to belong to the Primus family.

The school maintains a campus that is without fear. At Primus each student will have the right to information. With a strong awareness of rules and consequences, they are able to choose right conduct and act responsibly. This is a vital quality for each citizen in a democracy. The school provides an environment where students will evolve into fearless and responsible individuals. This stems from our belief that when self-esteem is inculcated in children at an early age, honesty and courage get ingrained into their character.

We believe in free and frank discussions, listening to positive and negative feedback with equanimity and openness to problem solving. Only if an organization is built on the foundation of openness and approachability, can it evolve to higher levels of success and grow to meet the dynamic requirements of the rapidly changing world we live in. The management and staff at Primus follow an open door policy. Students or parents are welcome to walk right into the office of concerned staff member or management representative.

Individualism is a thing of the past. Individual excellence can  transform into meaningful results only with teamwork. The importance of teamwork and collaboration is increasingly obvious in all walks of life. Emotional Intelligence and working in synergy with different people is an invaluable skill. The ability to share success and say “We Won” goes hand-in-hand with the ability to take ownership of problems and say, “I am responsible.”

The most prominent difference between successful people and the others is discipline. It is not that successful people enjoy rules, it is just that they have achieved self-mastery to work within them. While freedom and fearlessness is encouraged at Primus, discipline is not negotiable. Every Primusian, students and staff, realize that each privilege and right available to them comes with a great responsibility.
