“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything.”

- Swami Vivekananda

Dear Students

Welcome to the new scholastic session 2024-25 of the school!As we embark on this new session together, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the journey of learning and academic growth that lies ahead. This is a time of fresh beginnings, renewed determination, and boundless opportunities.

As we dive into this new chapter, I want to emphasize the importance of two key elements that will undoubtedly shape your academic success: self-study and regularity in attendance. Both are indispensable pillars of your educational journey, working hand in hand to lay the foundation for your achievements. First and foremost, self-study is the cornerstone of effective learning. While classroom instruction provides essential guidance and structure, it is through self-directed study that truly deepens understanding and mastery of subjects. Make it a priority to allocate dedicated time each day for independent learning. Whether it's reviewing class notes, delving into textbooks, or exploring supplementary resources, embrace the opportunity to take ownership of your education and pursue knowledge beyond the confines of the curriculum.

Avoid wasting parents’ hard-earned money on tuition and coaching centers as they make you dependent and adversely affect your core competencies.Parental role is highly recommended to imbibe self-learning in the children and make them realize the value of money and time. Besides study, adopt a holistic approach towards life. The time saved from tuition should be utilized in inculcating entrepreneurship and financial management that help in developing skills that are valuable in both personal and professional lives.Seek advice from your mentors as they are your real well-wishers. Sports, yoga/meditation, exercise, etc. are the key factors for nourishing your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Regularity in attendance is fundamental to academic progress. Consistent attendance ensures that the students remain actively engaged in skill-based learning, vocational training, and technology integration, which develop essential competencies and skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration which ultimately foster their holistic development. A minimumof 75% attendance is a must as per CBSE bylines for issuing admit cards and promotion to the next class.

I encourage the students to approach this new academic session with a commitment to both self-study and regular attendance. Cultivate a mindset of curiosity, perseverance, and dedication to studies. Set goals for yourself, seek assistance when needed, and celebrate your achievements along the way. Embrace the challenges, cherish the successes, and never underestimate the transformative power of education.As we begin the new academic yearI instruct all our students to be mindful of school rules, policies, and safety protocols. I continue to emphasize on discipline, punctuality, personal grooming, school attendance, commitment, and mutual respect.

The foundation of lifelong learning lies in the collaboration of teachers, parents, and administrators who work as a string to hold and preserve the precious gems of life-our children. We believe that with all of the support services available, including Parental cooperation, inclusive teaching methodologies, and individual attention blended with strong values, students will develop holistically and perform brilliantly.
