-
The teachers from the private schools may instruct the KMCP School students to make charts and models of the topics that they study in different subjects. This will make the subjects and studying as a whole, interesting and attractive to the students. Charts and models which may not be required any m ore by the private school can be gives to the KMCP Schools.
- KMC schools have very few craft and art teachers to teach the children these skills.
- KMCP school children have never been exposed to the performing arts. The private schools may be asked to arrange music, dance and drama classes for KMCP school children. Staging of cultural programmes, jointly by the two schools can be a possible corollary to the above.
- Joint sporting events and quiz programmes may also be held.
- Children of KMCP Schools can attend sports, exhibition or fairs etc held in private schools.
