“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
- William Butler Yeats
It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I extend my warm greetings to all members of the St. Francis School family.
St. Francis School continues to be a distinguished centre of learning, known for its commitment to nurturing young minds in the light of academic excellence, moral values, and social responsibility. Rooted in the Franciscan spirit of simplicity, humility, and service, our school stands firmly on the pillars of its vision - to mould individuals of character, competence, and compassion - and its mission - to provide holistic education that builds responsible and confident citizens.
Our guiding motto, “ Inform, Form and Transform,” beautifully encapsulates our educational journey:
To Inform - by imparting knowledge that builds a strong academic foundation.
To Form - by shaping character, values, and resilience in young hearts.
To Transform - by inspiring students to become agents of positive change in society.
At St. Francis, we proudly uphold our school maxim:
“ This is a positive school. Please do not bring any negativity inside.”
This principle fosters a culture of optimism, respect, and collaboration - qualities essential for personal and collective growth.
We are delighted to share the exceptional achievement of our students in the recent Board Examinations. With one of our students securing the position of District Topper, we celebrate a moment of collective triumph that reflects the relentless efforts of our learners, the dedication of our educators, and the unwavering support of our parents.
Our Franciscan alumni continue to shine across various walks of life - in academics, civil services, medicine, business, and social service - carrying forward the legacy of their alma mater with dignity and distinction.
As I step into the role of Principal, I look forward to building on this strong foundation. Together, let us reaffirm our commitment to the values we cherish and create an educational environment where every child is empowered to dream big, work hard, and shine bright.
With warm regards and Best wishes,
Shiny Thomas
Principal
