PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

been

in
mind. We hope we reached you.

Like tiny seeds with the innate power to push through tough
ground and become mighty trees, we hold the same innate
reserves of unimaginable strength. We are resilient.

As we look at ways of steering through these unusual times, we need unusual thought processes, measures
and actions. New linkages need to be driven with regard to not only new methods of teaching, but also with
ways of transacting with each other, allocating out time to the mundane and to the new methods-
understanding technology,re-thinking use of our devices, restructuring bandwidth and network speeds,
prioritising schedules for working from home, sharing time and space with family to keep everyone
engaged and that too while balancing the swinging socio-emotional needs of all. Times as these have
pushed everyone to shuffle their value systems, re model meals around nutrition and building
immunity and learn to manage homes with a new perspective.

Our children have been participating actively in all the processes and changes in routine. They have
been deeply involved in not only the curricular and co-curricular activities but also in the management of
their homes and assisting their parents in adapting to technology. A paradigm shift has taken place in the
roles, relationships, the environment at home, essentials of life, eating habits, meaning of health, modes
of learning, platforms and timings of learning, testing and examinations. Self- driven learning giving rise
to possibilities of learning through educational videos and online courses has been breaking geographical
boundaries and is here to stay.

Our Parents have been our true partners in education, supporting phenomenal changes needed during
these times. The staff has continued to grow and progress, adapting to different dimensions. The sheer
intent to reach out and add meaning has driven all to learn, Adapt, Re-learn and collaborate to
ensure continuity of processes. Difficult times push us to collaborate, redefine relationships, add
depth to our existence and re think the real meaning of education.
I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Parents, staff and students who have been our equal partners
in education process through these times. Our management has held the well-being of each one of us as
paramount and integral to all decisions taken during these times.

I thank each one of you who has been with us in this journey and urge you to continue to be resilient, as the
endeavor to prevail, despite the rough times continues. I urge each one of you to continue to broaden your
vistas and be a learner at heart, and navigate through these times strengthening your skill-set and your faith.

On the other side of a storm is the strength that comes from having navigated through it.
Raise your sail and Navigate with all your strength and faith.
