National Rank in the ICSE Board Examinations-2016-17

Ashwin Rao of Grade 10 became the talk of the Nation and in particular

in Bangalore. Declaration of the National Topper (99.4%). of ICSE 10th

results brought yet another feather to the cap of St. Paul‟s English School

and the Presidency Group.

Rank is not merely an index of one‟s intelligence but it also

indicates the hard work and perseverance that students have put in, to

reach their goal. Ashwin was such a combination of an incisive,

inquisitive, insightful, ingenious and articulate boy with that sparkle in

his eyes. He whole-heartedly participated in all the activities, Olympiads,

debates, quiz and remained always the cool boy next door. His attributes,

and his success, was the result of his honest and humble nature. Ashwin‟s

rank lays testimony to the fact that becoming a national topper is an

achievable feat for any student. No tuitions, no compromises, just a well

planned honest approach which emphasizes that confidence comes from discipline and training.

Vaishnavi R of grade 10 also made us proud by securing the 3rd State Rank in Karnataka , securing an

astounding score of 98.60% marks.

Vaishnavi has always been a polite, cheerful student with a

pleasant disposition and treated her friends with affection and

teachers with respect. She is a sincere, hardworking student and

has performed consistently well over the years. She has won

accolades for her stunning performance in the English and Science

Olympiads as well as the NTSE Examination. Vaishnavi wishes to

study Medicine in future.

Principal Ms. Susan Roy and her team of teachers dedicate this victory to teamwork and strategic

planning

„Unity is Strength …when there is teamwork and collaboration wonderful things can be achieved‟- Mattie

J. T. Stepnek

We at St Paul‟s strongly believe in the three R‟s to effective partnerships- respect, responsibility and

relationships. With this belief, the academic year is planned with various strategies to empower the students.


This year Principal Susan Roy has planned accordingly and the team has started with the implementation of the

same.

The Goal Set for this year is “Promotion of quality teaching and learning‟ which will be evaluated at the

end of academic year through:

1. Student performance, data analysis and result interpretation.

2. Internal and external class room observations. Teacher feedback forms, randomized teacher opinion

polls from parents and students about the class room process.

3. Systematic review from parents, through a reflective evaluation practice. Parent focus group interviews.

The role of parents in helping us achieve our goal is of paramount importance; in fact it‟s the most accurate

predictor of a child‟s success in school. The three R‟s, Respect, Responsibility, and Relationships will help us

to form those partnerships that truly make a lasting difference to all kids.

Our school believes in the all round development of the students had hence organized a drama contest „Stage

Craft‟ for the students of Grade XI and XII. The actors were called

„The Thespians‟- a Greek word which means stage performers. The

STORY TELLING BY CRAIG JENKINS- 12th September 2017 Story telling is one of the Universal and traditional art forms that has featured strongly in our culture as an

effective communication tool. It can be used to inform, entertain and educate people. It is often used as a

medium to improve reading skills.

The session started with a self introduction of the team by Ms

Sneha. The session was indeed valuable and distinct. Students

found it really interesting and engrossed in listening to the

stories of “The King with a Big Moustache”, “The Grumpy

Princess”, “The lazy Jack” and “The Bear and the Pig” which

was told to them with creative gestures and facial expressions.

The appropriate use of voice modulation and body language

infused passion, enhanced imagination and expressions which

introduced students to the new horizons of “story telling‟.

What Mr Craig brought during his session was simply the beautiful oral tradition passed down to him through

his much loved Guru Vayu Naidu, a story teller of Indian origin.

It was an exciting, enticing and educational experience through which he applied his successful mantra of

taking old, traditional stories and bringing them into the contemporary world. This allows students of all ages

to deconstruct the stories they have heard all their lives and to look at them from a different angle.

trees, which were found in abundance in the famous rock park. Refreshed

after their snack, the children took a quick walk across the park and had a

good look at the scenic fountain at the centre of the park.

the many places of interests of the city in which we all live. The children got a peak of the famous Nandi Bull

and also learnt about this mystical devotee of Lord Shiva, and were thus introduced to the rich and diverse folk

Sensitized the students about the derogatory effects

spending more „screen time‟. The length of the screen

time that a student spends is directly proportional to his or

her ability to perform in both academic and non-academic

domains.

Educated the student‟s on the government‟s call to correct

answer sheets stringently.

Alarmed them that the system of giving grace marks to a

student to let him or her pass the board exam would soon

be wiped out. Students will be marked solely on the basis

of merit and performance.

Cautioned them that as a pre-emptive action in the lines of

the government‟s call, every student should work hard and

achieve a clear pass.

Highlighted the point that 70% of preparation of a lesson

takes place through classroom teaching. Therefore, every

student should try to remain present on all days and listen

to the teacher attentively in the class.

Sensitized the students on the repercussions of behaving

badly with teachers and students in the school.

graphical representation from the 1st semester through

preparatories and the ICSE Board result.

Ms. Susan attributed the unparalleled achievement to teachers

and parents.


I Thank God

I thank God for the eyes that see me whenever He‟s around,

I thank him for the ears that hear all the answers and reply as humble to the ground.

I thank him for the lips that speak and the board he writes, without these there is no

knowledge to seek and learn about good and bad or wrong and right.

I thank him for the hands that write each and every Childs future clean and clear and right.

I thank him for the patience and skill because of which he handles everything calm and

light.

I thank him for one thing all above for giving me a teacher with the most loving heart,

her love is unconditional quite like a mother

And all the things they do is for our good sake, they are willing to give their all and

their love is never fake.
