EDITORIAL
Once more it is with pleasure that I was given
the opportunity to work on the next edition of
the newsletter. As we all know that a newsletter
mirrors a school -it's vision and mission. I take
this platform to voice my opinion on remaining
dedicated and consistent students,imbibing the
values laid down by the institution.You all need
to be a winner and to emerge as one you need
to grill yourself taking all the pressures of life.
So work upon your weaknesses and success will
come rolling down your kitty. Signing off with
this quotation
"Woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep”
3. From Principal’s Desk
Tomorrow is a new beginning, new school
year, new friends and new memories!
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome dear students
and parents to the new academic session (2017-2018).
The last session ended on a high note with the successful
showcasing of our curricular and co-curricular achievements.
We plan to commence the new session on a high note too.
We will open the new book. Its pages are blank. We are going
to put words on them ourselves. The book is called
Opportunity and its first chapter is New academic session. To
the returning students, my message is never to take your
academics for granted. The era of believing that there is a
short-cut to success is gone. Work hard and never take your
studies for granted for any reason. Mind the company you
k e e p , m a n a g e y o u r m e a g e r r e s o u r c e s
prudently and apply wisdom in all that you do.
Wish you a successful year ahead.
