24^th June 2014

Finally, after a long period of nervousness and excitement, and amidst the rumours flying thick and fast, the SSC students were finally relieved with the declaration of the Board results. It was a result to be cherished since the school achieved the distinction of securing a cent percent result for the second year in succession. The result was a fruit of the hard work and determination shown by our students, as well as the efforts and constant guidance and support provided by the teachers and parents. The results were officially declared in the school hall on 17^th June 2014 at a special gathering of excited students, proud parents and honoured staff members.  

Felicitations boost the morale of people and provide the encouragement to achieve more in life. The case in point was the special felicitation ceremony in the school hall for our successful students. The students entered the hall with pride, their parents walking proudly by their side! They were greeted by the happy, comforting and warm smiles of their teachers. At the program, the newly appointed Principal of the school, Fr. Godfrey D’Sa delivered a short speech, appreciating and congratulating the students for the brilliant results. In a spontaneous gesture, the students, out of gratitude, gave a standing ovation to the teachers present in the hall.

The Vice-Principal and HM, Ms. Nicole Britto, presented the statistics of the school at the SSC Board Exam. 72 of the 113 students who appeared for the Board exams secured distinction, whereas 32 students attained 1st class; 7 students got 2nd class and the remaining 2 students featured in the Pass class category. Students securing 90% and above found a special mention when the Principal rose to continue with the statistics and declaration of the results.  These students received a tumultuous applause from everyone present. Master Moksh Jain secured a massive 94.80% and stood first in the school, while the second place was secured by Master Shrey Jain who received an equally commendable 94.60%. Master Suraj Jha stood third by scoring 93.80%. The top three rankers were presented bouquets to acknowledge and honour their efforts. In the absence of Master Suraj Jha, the bouquet was presented to Master Jaykumar Jain and Master Harsh Savla who shared the fourth place. The names of the subject toppers were then announced by Ms. Nicole to the applause of the entire audience.  The instructions by the headmistress for the collection of the mark sheets and the leaving certificate made the students nostalgic, since they were now leaving the school for greater pursuits. The teachers met the students along with their parents and encouraged the students to choose the right field ahead in life and make them proud once more.

This program resulted in the students meeting their friends and teachers after a long time which was truly very invigorating. It also ignited a new flame within each and every student which urged them to move on in life with alacrity and face every challenge positively and with full vigour, keeping the school motto in mind and heart.......We are born for Greater Things!
