Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, and Well-wishers,
Warm greetings and a hearty welcome to each one of you as we begin the new scholastic year 2025-26 at St. Xavier’s Higher Secondary School, Pathaliaghat!
It gives me immense joy to welcome you all back as we resume the academic year with great enthusiasm, renewed hopes, and vibrant aspirations. We begin this new journey on the 7th of April with a short inaugural ceremony, invoking God’s blessings on every student, teacher, staff member, and family connected to our school.
At the very outset, I extend my deepest gratitude to all our students, parents, teachers, and well-wishers for your unwavering support and encouragement in all the endeavours and milestones we have achieved as a school family. Your trust and cooperation inspire us to continue striving for excellence.
St. Xavier’s School has always stood tall for its academic excellence, strong moral foundation, discipline, and all-round development of students. The standard and quality we uphold is the result of the dedicated and selfless contribution of our experienced and committed teachers, our ever-supportive parents, and our enthusiastic and motivated students. Together, we have created a vibrant learning environment that nurtures the heart, mind, and soul. As we step into this new year, I am delighted to share a few new initiatives and facilities introduced in the school:
- CCTV IP cameras have been installed in all classrooms and across the campus to ensure greater safety and transparency.
- More purified drinking water units have been added for better access to safe drinking water.
- Our campus facilities have been further expanded and improved to give students more space for learning and growth.
- Additional large fans have been installed in the assembly hall to make gatherings more comfortable.
- We are pleased to welcome new teachers who have joined our family this year, bringing fresh energy and ideas.
- We are introducing Abacus training for Classes 3 to 5 to enhance mental arithmetic skills.
- A “Good Manners & Personality Development” programme will also be introduced for our senior students to build character and social values.
These developments reflect our deep commitment to offering a holistic and future-ready education.
As we begin this academic year, I encourage each one of you to approach it with curiosity, dedication, and a positive spirit. Let this be a year filled with learning, growth, creativity, and joyful experiences. Let us all work together to build a community where every child thrives, every teacher finds purpose, and every parent feels proud. May God bless us all abundantly and lead us forward in our mission of shaping young minds with wisdom, compassion, and excellence.
Wishing you all a wonderful and activity-filled scholastic year 2025-26 ahead!
With prayerful wishes,
