PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Parents and Students,

Our theme for the new academic session is “Synergy for Innovation”. It means that all are collaborating with one another for innovating and using innovations to develop or create novel ideas or knowledge. This is a year of innovation for Assisi and each one of the Assisians is going to contribute towards it through their out of the box thinking, by asking questions — in and out of the classroom — to become smarter and also imbibe the 21st century skill of innovating and using innovation to create new knowledge. I want our school theme and 21st century skill to resonate on our school campus in all the activities we take up this academic year. I wish each one of you a productive and successful new academic session.

Best Regards,
Suma Paul
