AUGUST-SEPTEMBER

Issue No.                                                                                                        Aug-Sept. 2011        

From the Editor’s Desk My mind’s at peace and my heart sings out a song.  A song of praise to the Lord for the myriad blessings he continues to shower on me each day.  The list is endless and one lifetime would not be enough if I should sit down to pen down each one of them.  Suffice to say that I rejoice in the knowledge that he his love and care surrounds me wherever I go.   He belongs to me and I to him and with his protecting shroud around me, I can take everything – hale, storm or wind in my stride.  Invisible but omnipotent, He is there not just for one, two or three persons.  He is there for everyone and everywhere.  He is there in the falling rain from the skies, the gentle breezes that blow, in the rising sun and in the quiet peace that brings in the night.  Unseen but ever present round every head, he is that one special person, ready to come to your help, no matter night or day – you only have to call on his name and he will be there.  Unseen but always by your side, he has wept with you when you wept, laughed and danced together with you when you tasted sweet success and gently egged you on when the road ahead seemed dark, endless and dreary.  What joy indeed to belong to the Lord!!! We call on your name O Lord, as we move into the second half of the first semester – the months of August and September and ask you to bless us as you have always done.  We come before you and surrender in  totality – with both our strengths and our weaknesses.  Take our minds, our hearts, our hands and feet and gently lead us on.    -          Norene Cornel, Chief Editor

 

                                                                       

The journey is half traversed and we say with pride that it is a semester well spent.  We have gone through the four wonderful months of June, July, August and September and as we hand over your wards to you, for the Dussehra and Dipavali vacation, we hope that it will be a break well spent.

At the onset, let me extend my best wishes to every one of you for the forthcoming two festivals.  May the Goddess of love and light fill your homes and hearts, while in turn dispelling any tiny bit of pain and sorrow.  Its celebration time once again as you bring out all your glittering clothes and diyas.  Let the glitter  outside touch your hearts within and may you in your turn spread warmth and sunshine all around. 

Yes, my readers, we have come to the end of the first semester of the academic year 2011-12 and it has been a time well spent.  Both inside and outside the classroom.  Our students have gone through three testing phases when what they were taught in the class was put before them in the form of the mandatory question paper.  The Formative Assessments I and II as also Summative Assessment for students between Standards VI to PUC II on the one hand with one class test, one Unit Test followed by the Term End examinations from the 23^rd of September to the 1^st of October.  The earlier results are already with you and the results concerning the Term End /  Summative Assessment I will be handed over to you when you return with your wards on the 1^st of November 2011. 

As you parents already know, the lessons for every class are vast and hence, every day counts.  So, please ensure that you bring your child back to the campus on the 1^st of November itself.  Needless to remind you, that delay in return to the campus will also invite a penalty fee of Rs.100/- per day. 

The opener to this academic year – the June July 2011 issue of the school bulletin has already been mailed to you, and we now take pleasure in placing yet another issue – the August September  one before you.  Both As usual, and as the name itself suggests, August – with its august presence in our midst gave us so many wonderful memories to cherish.  Royal and ethereal indeed as it brings with it two wonderful festivals – one religious and the other national but both equally special to every Indian heart.  On the one hand, everyone, irrespective of whether he is a Hindu, Christian or Muslim loves to celebrate because it is the very epitome of the  two beautiful words `loving’ and `caring’.  

Yes readers and parents of our inmates alike – we celebrated Raksha Bandhan on the 13^th of the month. 

The other and no less important but rather of prime significance – this time a national one– our very own and to be always cherished our nation’s Independence Day.

Raksha Bandhan – This is a festival that has held sway over every Indian heart, no matter where he may be.  A day which every brother looks forward to because it reminds him sharply of one stark truth.  Family and its ties can never be given a back seat.  However self made and independent a man, he sometimes or the other craves for love and attention and the sacred thread that his sister ties on his wrist on this auspicious day reinforces this fact.   The sister on her part eagerly awaits
