REFLECTIONS BY THE PRINCIPAL
‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases it will never pass into
nothingness.’
This profound statement by the eminent poet John Keats envisions beauty as one which breaks
free from the realm of mere physical beauty to encompass natural objects, meditation, sweet
dreams etc. Beauty though manifested in various forms is a perennial source of joy and peace
which lingers much after the experience is over.
Education itself is a beautiful and enlightening process which leaves an indelible imprint on
young minds. Of course, there is no denying the fact that learning is life-long; and this thought
has forever been the School‟s guiding light for nurturing the students.
Our young learners from the primary and pre-primary classes experienced the beauty of divinity
and oneness with nature as they embarked on their trips to places of worship and natural beauty.
Tranquility, harmony with nature and the experience of rejuvenation and invigoration were
moments of profound beauty and enlightenment for the young learners. The values inculcated by
the School are markedly conspicuous in our assemblies, events and competition which from a
part of the School‟s schedule.
There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with
education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of
learning.

Bond followed by his address to the audience wherein he threw light on his
narrative style, his inclination towards writing children‟s books and the need to
improve reading skills.
