Introduction:

Human life is a wondrous journey where we encounter innumerable people, events & cherish a million memories. This Annual Day is a celebration of human emotions, human achievements, human failures and finally the spiritual upliftment of man.

Message from Principal:

It’s my privilege and pleasure to present the Annual Report for the academic year 2020-21. 2020 was a year of significant change for our country, community and school with life changing events such as floods and COVID-19. Our school is an example of what leadership with vision, commitment and discipline can achieve.

Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge and knowledge makes you great. Development of self along with academic achievement forms the nuclei of all learning processes at our school. Growth in academics is a result of the multiple opportunities provided in our school for upgradation of skills and knowledge.

School life too changed in March when children were kept at homes due to COVID-19 and adopted online modes and resources to continue learning. Staff moved swiftly to develop online material, audios and videos for each grade and provide education in a less social environment.

Message from the School Management:

We would like to thank all the parents who helped out with the Easter back in March this year. It was a year of success. Although communication with parents had been challenging this year, we got through this critical situation with the joint efforts of parents and staff members.

We worked with full dedication and devotion, embracing a team spirit for the betterment and upliftment of the school.
