Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, and Staff,
Welcome to St. Mary's Malankara High School, Sakinaka, as we embark on a new academic year filled with promise and potential. It is with great joy and gratitude that I extend my warmest greetings to each one of you. This year, we continue our journey of learning and growth with renewed dedication and passion.
At St. Mary's Malankara High School, we believe that children are our future. They are not just students passing through our classrooms but the bearers of hope and the promise of a better tomorrow. Our commitment to their success is unwavering, rooted in the belief that education is not merely about academics but about nurturing young minds, instilling values, and preparing them to navigate the complexities of the world with courage and compassion.
Our school motto, "To be enlightened to lighten," encapsulates our mission. We strive to illuminate the path of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom for our students so that they, in turn, can become beacons of light in their communities and beyond. This motto is not just words on a wall but a guiding principle that permeates every aspect of our educational approach.
As a Catholic Christian school, we are inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life and words continue to guide and inspire us. In Matthew 5:16, Jesus said, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." This verse reminds us of our duty to shine brightly, not for our own glory, but to illuminate the world with love, kindness, and service.
The new academic year brings with it opportunities for growth, innovation, and community building. Together, let us forge ahead with optimism and determination, embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and transformation. I encourage each member of our school community to actively participate, collaborate, and contribute to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every individual can thrive.
As we embark on this journey together, let us uphold our values of integrity, respect, and excellence. Let us nurture a spirit of curiosity and inquiry, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the walls of our classrooms. Let us support one another, celebrate our achievements, and learn from our setbacks, knowing that together, we can achieve greatness.
In conclusion, I extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated teachers and staff who work tirelessly to ensure the holistic development of our students. I express my appreciation to the parents for their trust and partnership in their children's education. And most importantly, I convey my best wishes to our students, whose enthusiasm and potential inspire us each day.
May the new academic year be filled with blessings, growth, and success for all of us at St. Mary's Malankara High School, Sakinaka. Let us shine our light brightly, guided by faith, knowledge, and love.
God bless you all.
Warm regards,
