As we usher into the Academic Year 2020-21, I would take this opportunity to congratulate my Team – the teachers, all staff members, parents and above all the students for the commendable results in the Board Examination 2019. The relentless effort and strong desire to excel has set the benchmark for the school and its students in their pursuit of Academic Excellence. We cannot deny the contribution of our Management and the esteemed parents of our students as the belief and trust they repose on us, gives us the strength and confidence to march ahead towards fulfilling our mission, to provide the best nurturing environment to our students to strive, grow and achieve their goals.
We truly understand that schools are no longer institutions to direct students only towards academic excellence. We also have to play the pivotal role in character building and personality development. We have to explore the possibilities in every individual child, hone their skills and make them capable in pursuit of worthy goals in the service of the Nation and Humanity. Here comes the role of Physical Education, Sports & Games and Co-curricular activities. These are no longer extra-curricular or entertainment program but an integral part of our curriculum for character formation. Most importantly besides making us physically fit, teaching team spirit and nurturing leadership skill these help us understand, accept and overcome failure.
The desire to achieve higher and higher in every field in this highly competitive world, makes life stressful for children and often they become victims of depression and emotional breakdown. We teachers in school and parents at home shall try consciously to instill the belief among our children that failure does not make us aware of our weaknesses but strengthens our will power, our ability to judge situations and overcome difficulties without losing confidence.
If we are able to implant the seed of confidence at this tender age, they will imbibe the ability to shape their destiny and surely take themselves much higher up in life.
