Message of the principal
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." – William Butler Yeats
At St. Francis school, we believe that every child carries within them a unique spark, a light
waiting to shine. Guided by our motto, “Let Your Light Shine,” we are committed to nurturing
that inner brilliance by creating an environment where learning is joyful, values are cherished,
and excellence is a habit.
Our campus stands as a testimony to modern educational infrastructure—safe, well-
equipped, and student-friendly. From smart classrooms and well-stocked libraries to
innovative labs and vibrant activity zones, every corner of our school is designed to inspire
exploration and creativity.
But beyond the physical structures, it is our people who truly define us. Our well-qualified,
passionate, and dedicated faculty members are mentors in the truest sense—committed to
academic rigor, personal growth, and holistic development of every learner. They don’t just
teach—they ignite curiosity, build character, and shape futures.
Discipline and strong moral values form the cornerstone of our school culture. We believe, as
Aristotle once said, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
At St. Francis school, we instil respect, responsibility, and empathy in our students—preparing
them to become thoughtful and ethical global citizens.
Understanding the emotional and psychological needs of young minds, we also offer
professional counselling support to ensure that every student feels valued, understood, and
empowered. Our goal is not just to help students succeed academically, but to help them
thrive as individuals—resilient, confident, and compassionate.
As we walk this journey together—with students, parents, and teachers as partners—we
remain deeply committed to helping every child discover their potential, overcome their
limitations, and most importantly, let their light shine bright in a world that needs it more than
ever.
