Where Hope Anchors Hearts and Journeys Begin

As the gates of a new academic year open, our school community stands poised with enthusiasm, purpose, and renewed energy. The year 2025–2026 begins not merely as a cycle of classes and curriculum, but as a collective journey—one rooted in our theme for the year: “Anchored with Hope, pilgrims with young people, on the Path of Peace.”

This theme invites each of us—students, staff, and parents alike—to walk alongside one another with trust and shared purpose. It encourages us to nurture a spirit of companionship and resilience, recognising the light of hope that shines through even the most uncertain paths. We begin this journey not as individuals, but as a united community, ready to grow, to learn, and to care.

Our care this year takes on deeper dimensions—care for the self, for one another, for the community, and for the world we share. In our classrooms, on the playgrounds, and through every shared moment, we recommit ourselves to building an environment where each individual feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether through wellness initiatives, peer collaboration, eco-conscious projects, or simple acts of kindness, we aim to strengthen the bonds that make our school a true family.

To our students, we offer a renewed call: grow holistically. Make the most of the quality academics provided—rigorous, relevant, and deeply enriching. Explore your potential through ample opportunities in sports, creative expression, and on-stage performances. Speak your mind, share your talents, and let your personality shine. Engage with school clubs that let you vibe with like-minded peers, sharpen your passions, and build friendships rooted in shared interests.

We also take this moment to celebrate a proud milestone: our SSC Batch of 2024–2025 has not just achieved a 100% pass rate, but with every student securing a first class, distinction or 90% above. This remarkable result is a testament to the dedication of our students, steering of the leadership team, the guidance of our teachers, and the unwavering support of families. It is both a culmination and a call—a reminder of what is possible when we journey together with faith and hard work.

We place on record our deep gratitude to our Rector, and the Salesian Management for their constant guidance, encouragement, and support in leading the school community with vision and values. We also warmly welcome Rev. Fr. Lester Fernandes, our new Vice-Rector and Administrator, and Bro. Kanishk Thekemuri, as they join our family this year. We look forward to the journey ahead under their care, presence, and leadership.

The months ahead promise new beginnings, challenges that will shape us, and countless opportunities to grow in wisdom, compassion, and creativity. As we move forward, may we keep our eyes fixed on hope, our hearts open to peace, and our steps steady in solidarity with the young.

Let us walk this path together—anchored with hope, inspired by peace, and strengthened by the boundless potential within each child. Welcome back, and may this academic year be a transformative one for all.
