COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Community Outreach started at St. Bede’s College in the Centenary year 2004. It was an effort made to sensitize our students to their surroundings as well as to other social levels. Apart from regular visits to Old Age Homes, Orphanages and Hospitals, the college ‘adopted’ a Government Middle School at Theog, Distt. Shimla.
St. Bede’s worked on
- Developing a rain water harvesting tank.
- Helped make kutcha stone steps leading up to the school.
- Two toilets were also built as there was no toilet facility either for the staff or the students.
- A number of durries, chairs and sports equipment were given by the college for the school children.
- A small play area with a swing, slide and a see-saw was also made for the primary school children.
- The college students regularly interact with the school children. Our girls prepare skits on hygiene, drugs, plastic and its harm and importance of the girl child, and perform at the village school.
- Story telling sessions with different sections are conducted and a sports day too is celebrated with them. Occasionally a tie-up with WWF is made and environment awareness films are shown to the children along with short documentaries about wild life.
- The college students visit another Government Primary School close to the college and organize and conduct interactive sessions there too.
- In 2018, three teachers took up teaching assignments at Munseling School at Kaza, Spiti.
