Principal`s Message
“The future depends on what you do today”, said Mahatma Gandhi.
The school life of a student does not end with securing marks and certificates, but it is a continuous process of learning to improve oneself for a better tomorrow. It takes many years to reach the goal set before oneself. The journey of learning can be a joyful one or tedious one based on each one’s personal effort. Right decision is an important aspect of life to have a bright future. Any decision made can either enlighten the spirit of learning or hinder the desired growth. Student’s life and learning entails self-sacrifice, hard work and perseverance. Great persons of different ages and eras had undergonea lot of struggles but they never gave up.The spirit of resilience determines the future life of a student.
The present day’s education has evolved with lots of changes and challenges. It is not sufficient to have only an intellectual knowledge or the understanding of the lessons learnt. The other aspects of life, like respect for others, care for nature and live a good moral and well balance life is quite important in today’s scenario. With the help of our selfless and dedicated teachers, our school wishes to leave a great impact in the life of all the students which is worth remembering in the future. I wish and pray that our students have enough courage and strength to face life’s challenges without losing hope and go ahead with strong determination. May St. Gabriel’s Higher Secondary School be a light of hope and knowledge shining forth for all.
