📖 Let’s Learn Notice Writing!
A notice is a short, formal announcement displayed on a notice board to inform people about events, rules, or important information. Notices are used in schools, offices, and public places.
Notice writing is a common exam question in Grades 4-10. It has a specific format that you must follow. The key is to be brief, clear, and include all necessary details — who, what, when, where.
💡 The Rule
Notice Format:
1. NOTICE (heading, centred, in a box)
2. Date
3. Title/Subject (what it is about)
4. Body (brief — who, what, when, where, other details)
5. Signature + Name + Designation (who wrote it)
🎯 Key Concept
📌 Header: NOTICE (in a box)
📅 Date: 15th March 2026
📝 Title: Annual Sports Day
📋 Body: All students are informed that… (brief, factual)
✍️ Signed: Name, Head Boy/Girl or Teacher
📋 Notice Writing Rules
The word “NOTICE” goes at the top, centred
Written below the heading
Brief subject: “Annual Day Celebration”
Short, 3-4 sentences with all key details
Name + designation: “Priya, Head Girl”
Notices should be brief — not like essays!

0/8Fun Facts
Notice boards have been used for over 500 years! In medieval Europe, official notices were nailed to church doors — the most famous being Martin Luther’s 95 Theses in 1517.
In India, government notices are published in the Gazette of India — the official record. Laws, appointments, and rules become official only after being “gazetted” (published as a notice).
