NEWSLETTER 2009 - 2010

Dear Parents, We have nearly completed the academic year 2009-2010, with the 4th of May being the last working day. Our class X and Class XII students have completed their board exams very successfully. As we move to the last part of the year, we are looking forward with great anticipation to the months ahead, the academic work and the results. We will continue our focus on academic achievement and success for all students. We believe that each student must take responsibility for his\her learning. Please support us in our work by reviewing your children’s report cards and talking to them about their learning. Kindly provide encouragement for a work well done and support continuous learning. We also emphasize it to our students the importance of respecting themselves, respecting others and taking responsibility for their behaviour. These, we feel, are life-long skills and attitudes which will prepare the students to be successful in the future. Though planning is a continuous process, this is a time when we reflect on school priorities for the next year and reflect on the work done. Your continuous input and advice is critical and we value them much. We request you to continue to help the school in this shared responsibility for learning. Through our commitment and work together with parents and students positive changes are noticed. We are proud of our students’ achievements to date and I hope that they continue to put in their best efforts. Thank you very much for your support.
