Dharna Groups

"Dharna" is the Barngala word meaning "strong". At PLHS, we value strong relationships between students and teachers and teachers and families. Dharna Group is a time everyday that a small group of students (max. 15) spend with their Dharna Group teacher to foster these relationships - 10 minutes at the start of each school day, with the exception of an extended time (40 minutes) on Wednesdays . Your student’s Dharna Group teacher should be your first point of contact for everything from attendance to excursions.
