National Public School (or NPS-RNR or NPS-R) is a school established in Bangalore India in 1959 [1] by K. P. Gopalkrishna. The campus, which consists of four buildings, is located in Rajajinagar.

Contents

The school has been given full autonomy by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Classes generally consist of 30 children, and the total student strength is 1800 Act. [2] In the same month, the Karnataka High Court granted a stay order on the disaffiliation of the school and restored full affiliation.[ clarify ] [3]

House system

Students are divided into four houses which have been assigned a colour each. They are, "Orion" (green), "Centaur" (Red), "Pegasus" (yellow), and "Phoenix" (Blue). Every year, the houses compete for two trophies: the Sports Cup (awarded for athletics performance), and the House Cup (awarded for other merits such as drama, science, mathematics, etc). Each house has a house captain, who is elected by the students.

Facilities

The school has two auditoriums. It has senior and junior science laboratories, a computer laboratory and other facilities like libraries, art rooms and a music room. [4]

Sports

There are sports events conducted for classes 1 to 12 and kindergarten. [5] Cricket, volleyball, basketball, football and throw-ball are the permitted outdoor sports, along with badminton, chess and annual races.

School events

The school organizes a bi-annual inter-school competition. The competition, known as "Napsonic", [6] involves teams from only the sister schools competing to win prizes for events. To ensure fair play, the students of National Public School, Rajajinagar do not participate in the fests that the school sponsors. [7]

Each year, the school organises a Graduation Day [8] program to bid adieu to the graduating students of grade 12, during the course of which students hold lit lamps. [9]

Intra-school and Inter-school MUNs knows as "R-MUN" have been conducted by the school since 2017. [10]
