The academic year 2025–26 has been marked by many remarkable milestones, and it is with great joy and contentment that I address you, having witnessed our goals transforming into reality. The Francisian spirit inspires us always to strive for the better, the higher, and the nobler. This past term was full of energy and celebration—from hosting the KISA Sports Meet and numerous inter-school competitions to the KISA Principals’ Meet. Truly, 2025 has begun a new epoch in the journey of St. Francis.

Aligned with our motto—Education with Character and Excellence—St. Francis School is committed not just to the all-round development and excellence of our students, but equally to building the character of young Francisians, nurturing within them noble ideals and values. In a world dominated often by technology, wealth, power, and fame, we endeavour to gift each student with a strong conscience and social commitment.

Guided by the ideals of our Patron Saint, we seek to be channels of Love, Peace, and Hope, fostering youth who face the challenges of life with courage, passion, and commitment. Our vision—to facilitate a conducive ambience for joyful learning and holistic growth—is reflected in every classroom and corridor.

We place strong emphasis on STEM, Arts, and the Environment, believing that science and technology stimulate inquiry; arts unlock creativity and expression; and respect for the environment fosters responsibility and care for our planet. Teaching, complemented with technology, project-based learning, demonstrations, enactments—these make learning both interesting and effective.

I would like to express my deep pride in our dedicated faculty, the true torchbearers of the Francisian spirit. The excellent achievements of our students in multiple fields are a direct result of their wise guidance and mentorship. Equally, I am proud of our students—whose curiosity, energy, and achievements make our school a vibrant place of learning.

The management remains committed to providing state-of-the-art facilities for both staff and students, ensuring their advancement, well-being, and flourishing.

As Principal, I commit to leading with vision, openness, and integrity. We will continue to adapt, to innovate, and to reflect—always seeking better ways for each student to shine.

As the Dussehra holidays approach, I wish all our students, parents, and staff a restful, joyous, and safe holiday. May this festival, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, renewal, and hope, fill your hearts and homes with peace. When we resume, let us carry this spirit of moral strength, harmony, and renewed energy into all we do.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let us build a school where every child dares to dream, strives to excel, and is equipped to make a positive difference in the world.
