In the last 20 years the one thing that has been constant in Vasant Valley School is change. In our attempt to be at the cutting edge at all times we are constantly introspecting and trying to improve our systems, curriculum, technology and infrastructure.

In these 20 years, we have been successful in creating an environment where each child is nurtured and is able to actualize their potential because we have tread this path together. You have been an important part of our school’s growth. Parent feedback and involvement has also helped us in evolving and improving our systems. In our endeavour to concretize this relationship we have now formed a group of 12 parents from classes 1 to 12 who will work with 12 teacher representatives to help us move forward.

The 12 parent representatives are Sumati Chandna, Vasu Setia, Dilreen Kaur, Divya Nayar, Payal Vir, Punam Kang, Ruchika Bharadwaj, Sarika Bansal, Nomita Kohli, Taab Siddiqi, Sapna Dutt and Shah – E – Naaz Kohli.
The 12 teacher representatives are Geetika Jerath, Aarti Johri, Sreela Mitra, Malvika Vohra, Sushmita Mitra, Bipul Chettri, Vidya Surendran, Kavita Sarin, Nomita Roy and Pankaj Seth, Rekha Bakshi and Rekha Krishnan.
