The years seem to fly away like a blink of an eye.
Let me take this opportunity to express my feelings and experiences as a parent to a Montfortian, our son Aditya. The last ten years have unfolded new chapters of meaningful learning through curriculum and extracurricular programmes being conducted all through year with focus on all round development of a child. This, witnessing as a parent is equally pleasant.
This year holds a fond memory for the children of standard 12th as it inches towards finale of schooling years at Montfort Senior Secondary School, Roorkee. Thus every student looks back to this period with love and respect. Children find themselves now at a crucial phase of their lives, eager to take a leap at creating a 'niche' for oneself towards a triumphant future.
Similarly celebrating all festivals , instilling patriotism, doing awareness events on different topics, also doing various charity programmes outside school environment to different institutions give an insight to children of the moral values which help in contribution to societal responsibilities in future times.
Montfort stands tall with its impressive school premises with improved infrastructure over the years. The outdoor sporting facilities is the most interesting learning hub for children. Newly constructed gym, skating rink, music room with latest equipment holds promise to children eager to pursue each one's respective likings under capable , trained instructors. Recently introduced ' e-care' system bridges the gap between parents and teachers and serves as an important tool for the administration to run efficiently. The tender care at 'School Infirmary' and wellness centre allows children and nursing staff to attend to health issues. The quadrangle areas of both junior and senior sections of the school is an inspiring platform to a school student. I find, that it stands witness to the numerous occasions of 15th August, 26 th January celebrations showing path to national integration. Similarly this quadrangle has also echoed and seen innumerable assemblies, speeches, glories and laurels brought by able students of past and present. The school administration and some parents too have come forward in recognition and duly rewarding each such student and motivating current batches of students on all fronts.
Time to time Montfort has been organising quizzes, sporting competitions, picnics, Scouts & Guides, cultural programmes in music, dance, crafts, arts with enthusiasm as this helps in channelising the latent talent within each child. I find, the staff of helpers, bhaiyyas, didis , front desk, has a major share in running the day to day activities of school efficiently and flawlessly.
The lifeline of the school , the buses bring cheer and glint in the eyes of children who find moments of merry times during school rides. This is possible with the dedicated effort of staff of transport system over the years.
Lastly, I would like to appreciate and congratulate the vision of school principal, vice principal, teachers coordinators over the years in helping in realising the dreams of students with able administration.
I wish to thank whole Montfort team and extend my gratitude to Montfort family for supporting our son Aditya, in the journey of last 10 years of his schooling period at Montfort.
May the blessings and strength received at school take him to newer pastures of higher education leading him to a glorious future ahead. I extend my best wishes and regards to Montfort Senior Secondary School.
