Today, the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society.

The talents, skills, and abilities of each student need to be identified, nurtured, and encouraged so that he/she is able to reach greater heights. Students need to be provided with a platform to think, express, and exhibit their skills. It is necessary to empower them to negotiate several issues that confront them, with the teacher being a facilitator. The school is striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in the children.

Converting every individual into a self-reliant and independent citizen, the school provides an amalgam of scholastic and co- sholastic activities. No wonder, a student harnessed in such an atmosphere has every hope and possibility of becoming a responsible, balanced and a mature adult and is able to live in to contribute and to shoulder responsibilities of the society, of which he forms an integral part. Children need a supportive environment at home and at school.

The plethora of interesting and exciting opportunities available to youngsters today often leave them with an array of things to do.lt is important to help them build their focus on the subject that draws them most and give shape to their vision.

I wish the good luck to the whole St. Mariam's family
