Dear Parents / Guardians / Staff & Students,

Greetings from School!

Our prayers to Almighty for good health and prosperity of all Francisian Families !
As we reach the end of the school year, I would like to take the opportunity to thank
all members of the school community- our students, parents, guardians and staff for
the fruitful completion of the academic year 2022-23.
"There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed,
can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality."
-- Anthony Robbins

Our school’s genuine concern ensures students emotional growth along with
intellectual excellence. This empowers them to develop their self-esteem, self-
awareness and self-confidence. Sharing ideas, analyzing situations and
expressing them confidently are essential skills which are honed here through
experiential learning.
We treasure dynamism and deem that one should be well prepared to adapt
the global scenario and work on his learning accordingly. Besides rigorous
scholastic programmes, we focus on developing both the mental and the
physical abilities of our students. The activities provide holistic grooming to
the students wherein each of them is able to explore his/her true potential.

My dear students, Time and effort can get you anything you want in the
world. But nothing in the world can get you more time.” “If we realize our
responsibility before God for our life, we will understand how valuable time
is for us.”
Sunshine, Warmth, bright smiles and happy thoughts are my wishes for you
this Summer. I hope your summer vacation is filled with fun and frolic and
in cultivating new hobbies.
