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”

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.
