FROM PRINCIPAL’S DESK……….

Dear Parents and Students, With half the academic year already over and with the pandemic still raging, for the first-time school missed out on school celebrations, events and other functions. With no student in the campus, school looks inert and lifeless. Nevertheless, safety of our children is of prime importance. With them staying at home, we have successfully conducted online classes, exams, activities, functions and competitions. We are grateful for your encouragement, assistance and cooperation. Together we have provided our students with a productive academic year. With events and activities conducted every month, every student got the chance to participate and exhibit their skills and talents. It has not only boosted our students’ confidence but has also made them competitive, level headed and assertive. Our quarterly newsletters, showcase our students’ association and participation in school activities and events. I thank our teachers who as mentors encouraged engagement and involvement. I extend my appreciation to Ms. Olinka Gulati (Senior Coordinator) and Ms. Magdalene Bhat (Primary Coordinator) for their continuous support and guidance. My sincere thanks to Ms. Sonika Chetival for preparing quarterly Newsletter. I hope you enjoy this edition of E-letter. Rev. Dr. Sabu Joseph (Principal)
