Hobby Development Centre

Aerial Photography

It is highly interesting to take the photographs of objects from a height of 100 meters with the gadget hovering above the object. And we have made this unique thing possible at Happy Valley School for our students. Old students of Gowtham Schools, who studied Aerospace Engineering at IIT Chennai, will help in setting it up. With this the students can gain hands-on-experience of handling this advanced electronic gadget.

Amphitheatre

Premised at a strategic location in the campus, school amphitheatre is a space for creativity and culture. Amphitheatre in HVS with its open air design is much more than just a venue; It is a place where the intellectual minds collaborate, school assembly happens and memories are made. The school amphitheatre is a go-to spot for important lectures, concerts, festivities. It is the place where the inherent latent talent of the students is brought to the fore. The school amphitheatre transforms each event into a blissful and wonderful experience.

Movie theatre

After a week of hectic academic activities, Sunday is the time for them to relax and unwind. A state of the art movie theatre in the 600 seats capacity in the school serves as place for the students not only watching movies, but fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie. It is a source of entertainment and leisure. Students build relationships and make new connections. Good movies often expose students to different cultures and perspectives. They broaden their creative horizons fostering intellectual curiosity. This kind of movie theatre facility with this ambience and capacity is unique in the international schools of this country.

Star Gazing

Astronomical objects have always been a source of mystery and fascination for human beings for ages. We have set up some expensive and powerful telescopes for students to gaze at the celestial bodies at night. Students can pursue this enjoyable and educative hobby not only during school days but also life long.

This is an area where students shape creativity through artistic expression. Budding talents in dance, music and visual arts use this space as an opportunity to explore and enhance their artistic abilities.

Students practice various dance forms from classical to contemporary. Children learn to play different musical instruments in the music room.  There is an art room where children learn sculpting and sharper their artistic instincts under the supervision of experienced art instructors.

• Children are also taught to sing both classical as well as contemporary songs.

The effort is to not only augment artistic skills but to enhance overall personality traits, encouraging the students to channelize their passions with confidence and perseverance.

Statue Making

By pursuing this amazing hobby our students will learn to make statues with special clay. If they so desire they can also make them in marble, granite or fibre using moulds. Students who have an inclination towards Fine Arts will enjoy this immensely and may take it up as a career.

Students can enrich themselves by learning Indian classical dances, western dance, vocal and instrumental music.

Still Photography

With still photography being a coveted profession these days, students with a passion for it, while pursuing it as a recreational activity at school can develop their potential to become professionals in future. Eminent still-photographers will be invited to train the students in acquiring technical and aesthetic knowhow of this hobby.

We are confident that our short film making club will enhance the latent creative instincts in students by providing basic training in the important branches of film making.

Robotics

This highly technical, creative, innovative and interesting hobby will nurture the zeal in the technologically inclined students. Our own distinguished alumni with experience in this field will provide the required expertise and motivation.
