Dear Parents, Students and Visitors As a Community Leader of St. Patrick’s School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school website. Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website. We hope to provide you with some useful information regarding our School. As you navigate your way through the site discovering what we have to offer, you will find answers to the many preliminary questions you may have about our school, our academic program and the life-skills we offer in this prestigious institution.
Education is not just about the subjects that are learnt and taught in school. Becoming educated is not restricted to being in school and then in college, gathering certificates and feeling proud of oneself. It is a lifelong exercise that can be unbelievably exciting if one only wish to jump onto the train of experience and take a trip to every conceivable place on the earth. Now we know that this cannot be done literally, So how do we manage it? First in school and then as we go on through the journey of life. St. Patrick’s higher Secondary School is a wonderful place for students from diverse backgrounds to grow educationally, get involved and have a meaningful school experience. I strongly believe, that an educational institute is not just about wonderful buildings, but about building character, enriching minds and enriching experiences that last a lifetime. Life is not a set of instructions but is a series of experiences and learning processes. Education is no exception. Our School’s mission is to create a niche where learning will not be just series of instructions but a passion, which goes beyond books, beyond instructions and beyond learning horizons. We believe that true education is a right blend of Intelligence and character, we educate our students to maximize their innate potential along with positive social behavior, thus developing them as global citizens. Schools these days are not only meant to attain information and knowledge only, rather they are platforms for collaboration of thoughts and ideas. In this regard Our school has set up a collaboration platform between teachers and students of St. Patrick’s Asansol and the Teaching faculty and students of St. Patrick’s College, Australia. Our lush Playing fields, Swimming Pool and Indoor Games facilities provide ample scope for Physical and mental development of our students. Through many of our outreach programs we try to inculcate the spirit of sharing and caring for the lesser fortunate populace of our society. Our staff fruitfully employs two diverse strategies that are of Love and Logic to foster a positive learning environment for all our students. Love and Logic may seem like two contrasting forces. While love helps nurture trusting relationships, where students feel respected, appreciated and loved by the teachers, logic helps develop in students personal responsibility, self-control, good decision-making skills, self-confidence, and character-building with high moral values. As the Community Leader of St. Patrick’s school, I feel honored and privileged to be part of an educational institution where every stakeholder is a learner and every day is an opportunity to learn and discover. I am also very excited for what lies ahead for St. Patrick’s and I truly believe that the best is yet to come.
