„Respect, recognition and reward flow out of performance‟- N.R. Narayana Murthy.
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.

„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.
7 St Paul’s English School, JP Nagar
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.

Visual Aids.
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.

brush twice a day - once after breakfast and again after dinner. She also

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

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.

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.
