School is a place to learn, assimilate, observe and understand our surroundings. School gives us the platform to gather knowledge about the world and sensitizes it towards our immediate environment, out of which a large part comprises of our 'society'.

Here at Salwan, as we travel the road of knowledge, discovering our identity, we also become conscious of the greater human society. A constructive attitude towards the society leads to the desire to learn and teach others. In our school for instance, the Student Council is the most powerful contrivance through which we learn about how to give back to the society.

The student council along with the shadow council organizes the assemblies in which the pressing issues of the society are debated. This creates a sense of wakefulness among the students towards the society. The council also inculcates in us the feeling of dignity and the need to help our peers and above all, the ethics and moral principles.

Various activities help us to understand group processes and their applicability in the society. Oratory skills, listening skills, comprehensive and behavioral skills are some important tools that we learn in school, which help us to benefit the society and the people around us. We also have leadership classes which are conducted every week to instill among everyone the sense of belongingness towards the society.

The idea of 'Education for All' is not just limited to the students. The special classes are held for the support staff which has helped them in improving their knowledge and formulate them into more refined intellectuals.

We are taught to serve the humanity and the teachings are not only preached but implemented also. To conclude, we believe that our school is the only medium through which we come to gather innumerable skills and qualities that one needs to serve the society.
