Walking Through the Memory Lane for Grade III Students
Date: Dec 7th, 2025
The Parental Involvement Team of DAV School organised the much-anticipated programme Walking Through the Memory Lane for Grade III students in the gracious presence of the Principal, Dr Bhubaneswari Rao, at Jetavan Hall on December 3.
The event brought together a representative parent from each section of Grade III, all of whom actively participated and contributed to the session.
The participating parents were Mr Prem Narayan Shrestha (Grandparent, Section A), Ms Ranju Jirel (Section B), Ms Kabina Rishal (Section C), Mr John Dangol (Section D), Ms Shrishna Maharjan (Section E), Ms Sarita Thapa (Section F), Mr Krishna Shah (Section G), and Mr Rahul Sancheti (Section H). Each parent gave an insightful presentation, offering a glimpse into the educational systems, lifestyles, food habits, cultural practices, parenting styles, and societal values of their time.
Their reflections were truly heartwarming, particularly as they described the traditions passed down from their parents and how they strive to instil the same cultural values in their own children. Several parents also spoke about their professional journeys, sharing inspiring stories about the experiences and turning points that led them to pursue their respective careers. Their accounts of personal struggles and perseverance served as powerful motivation for the students.
In her concluding remarks, Principal Dr. Bhubaneswari Rao expressed heartfelt gratitude to all participating parents and grandparents for their touching and inspirational narratives. She shared that, while designing the programme, she had wondered whether parents would feel comfortable sharing their life stories. She emphasised that moral and life lessons drawn from such stories are invaluable guides for young minds.
The Principal expressed her deep appreciation for the storytelling, beginning with the grandparent, Mr Prem Narayan Shrestha, and continuing through the accounts of all parents whose stories spoke of the making of professionals such as nurses, bankers, and chartered accountants. She also commended the bilingual mode of storytelling, which allowed the students to better comprehend and connect with the experiences being shared. She was especially moved by the sentiment expressed by a parent: “My parents taught me life, not just education.”
Impressed by the remarkable experiences of Mr. Prem Narayan Shrestha—whose professional journey spans teaching, banking, service with UN agencies, and active involvement in social organisations even after retirement—she requested one more session for Grade XII students as well.
The students were asked to write a reflection on the programme and submit it to their class teachers the following school day. Overall, the session was enriching and inspiring, reinforcing messages such as the importance of healthy eating, the belief that success requires hard work, the idea that education is a treasure no one can take away, the value of the right focus at the right time, and the reminder that one’s uniqueness is one’s greatest strength.
