MESSAGE FROM THE 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. Sincere thanks

to Ms. Deepti Kujur for preparing the third quarterly Newsletter.

I hope you enjoy this edition of E-letter.

(Principal)

OUR BELOVED ANGEL
