These past pandemic months, as you can see, have not deterred or dampened the spirits of our children. They have enjoyed and engaged joyously in the digital mode of learning, participating whole- heartedly in events and competitions, simultaneously. The journey has indeed been very joyful for the teachers too, albeit, initially challenging. I am glad the learning never stopped.Dear Parents, do encourage your children to be a part of the myriad opportunities the School offers. Our encouragement and support will help them discover their abilities and develop these to the best extent.
Last but not the least, lets continue to support each other as a family so that our children grow up as secureand strong young adults. Lets always remember to be role models for them in our values, beliefs and the way we conduct ourselves. Never forget that children are like sponges that soak up all that they are exposed to. So lets consciously make a special effort to secure our children as happy and well mannered human beings especially in arapidly changing world filled with several uncertainties. We owe it to them to set the best example.
My best wishes, Tania Joshi, Principal
