Principal's Message

It gives me immense joy to see the young minds coming up with new ideas-poems, thoughts, stories, experiences which are encompassed in the annual school magazine. The school magazine in hand would be a creative tool that will surely help you to get the glimpses of the yearlong activities and achievement of the students of our school. Iamsure the quality and variety of contents would not onlv be informative but also impressive and eniovable. Icongratulate the editorial board for their strenuous effort in compiling and giving final shape to the annual school magazine and all the teachers and students who have added flesh and blood to it through their creative works.

Overuse of technology has robbed the youth the need to socialise, feeling for others, soft skills, patience and values. Each one of vou are a precious creation of God, sent to earth for a great purpose and have been entrusted to us so that we nurture you to become a fruitful and a shady tree. It is not an easy task but the joint efforts of parents, teachers and students can surely make it possible. Parents need to monitor and accompany their wards in collaboration with the teachers. Dear students, just ask yourself fi you are the same person who joined the school as a novice. Certainly not, you should be happy as you have achieved a lot and should strive for MAGIS, more and greater. We are never satisfied withstatus quo-rather look for greater things as said bySt. Ignatius of Loyola.

There is no power as the power of youth. You are the candles who will ignite the world with the feeling of goodness, values and moralities. Many are in need to be guided, touched and inspired by you. So, be enlightened. Make ample use of the time in school, achieve excellence in academics, participate in cocurricular activities and sports for Isee many future sports persons, writers, musicians, dancers and artists in our school. Enrich your creativity to foster all round development. St. Ignatius as a Jesuit institution prepares and equips its students as competent men and women to face the world. It is a challenge posed to teachers as well. They need to change their teaching strategies, adopting more creative, newa n d innovative ways.

Our teachers are professionally equipped to develop adapt and modify curriculum content, pedagogy & assessment which suit the needs and aspirations of our students. We work towards a holistic, experiential, integrated, student-centered educational system that helps to improve the creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills of our young learners to equip them for the ever-changing world. We educate our children to change the world through peace, empathy, and fraternity and place great emphasis on inner values and values enshrined int h eIndian Constitution. We firmlybelieve that all our studentsprepare themselves to bemen and womenfor andwithothers,a Jesuit characteristic of education.

At last, Isincerely thank F.r Saji Mathew, S.J., the former Principal, my mentor, guide and friend under whose guidance Ihave grown and learnt a lot. He always encouraged me for Magis- more and greater. I also thank all my dear parents, well-wishers, benefactors and students for placing their tremendous faith in us. Certainly, together we can achievemore in the field of education here in Aurangabad.

Aristotle said,"Good habits are formed at youthmake all difference." You can bring this difference in life by knowing yourself and making use of every minute of your precious time, harnessing your latent potentialities. You are privileged to be a part of this august institution. I wish all the teachers and students to excel in their field and become an icon to be emulated. May the choicest blessings of the Almighty be upon you all in the New Academic Year!
