  • From The Principal's Desk

    Dear Readers,

    We thank God for this academic year, which has been a year of many ac�vi�es, picnics, tours, func�ons and studies. We thank God for His manifold blessings on this temple of learning, the management, staff and students, parents and well - wishers. Each one of you has contributed towards the growth and development of this Ins�tu�on. Thank you for your support, encouragement and interest. May the Almighty fill you with all that is good, noble and praise worthy. Human beings are said to be the crown of God's crea�on. God has made us in His own image and likeness therefore we are called to live that fullness of life. Let us keep alive in us the 'Child' with its a�tude of openness, cheerfulness and simplicity, that is the reason Jesus said 'Let the li�le children come to me for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.” They are full of life. They teach us to live the present moment and derive wonder and excitement from everything and everybody.

    Let us follow the five C's in order to a�ain the fullness of life: -1.Character – Wealth, influences, posi�on and power are of li�le value without character. Faith, courage, humility, integrity, magnanimity, nobility and self giving are the richest spiritual materials for character building.2.Cheerfulness – Be happy and cheerful, it costs nothing, yet it is beyond price. No one really cares if you are miserable, so we might as well be happy.3.Courage – Have courage, accept everyday as it comes.4.Calmness – No ma�er how insignificant the thing we have to do, do it as well as we can, for it will be by these small things that we shall be judged. Let us fill our minds with everything that is true, noble, good & pure “Whoever is careless with the truth in small ma�ers cannot be trusted with important ma�ers.”Albert Einstein.5.Convic�on – The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they cannot find them, make. Let us be convinced of our Goals, Vision and Mission.

    Let us live the present moment, be aligned with the present moment to experience peace and happiness.

    “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future or an�cipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” –Buddha.

    Sr. Meena

    Sophia: My Amour PropreLoose clay cannot be transformed without the exper�se of a po�er, and children cannot be well groomed without a school playing its part. SOPHIA isn't just a school to me, it's a euphoric universe which we can all shape into our own worlds and it's the adventure of life which each and every child cherishes. The impeccable Sophia turns its page every year with something new and worth remembering. We get really few chances to express our gra�tude for the best things in our lives. If I were asked to describe Sophia in one word then it would be 'My Pride'. Sophia not only imparts good values but also teaches each student to focus on the best. The ambience, the aura and the charm of Sophia cannot go unno�ced. This is a place where I can truly explore and

    unwrap my hidden talents. Sophia is like the infinite sky where all the stars gli�er all the �me, even in darkness of life. The confidence and uncondi�onal love I've got from Sophia will be cherished forever in my life. Thank you Sophia for recognizing me for who I am today, for shaping the lives of all the children whose parents have trusted you. Although, such a pleasant situa�on isn't the ideal �me for talking about goodbyes but they are a reality we can't change. I promise that when I have to bid goodbye, it would be with another promise of reunion. Because, HOME is a place where even winter spells warmth and even storms end with peace. No ma�er what, it will always be the soil that has nurtured me and my roots will forever lie with it. May Almighty con�nue to shower his manifold blessings upon this magnificent temple of learning.

  • FRUIT OF PRAYERFRUIT OF PRAYERFRUIT OF PRAYERThe fruit of silence is prayer. The fruit of Prayer is faith. The fruit of service is Peace. When we pray for God's guidance and for discernment through Holy Spirit we can rest assured that God will provide us wisdom. Prayers are the only means for final a�ainment of God's blessings. Prayers have tremendous posi�ve effects on our minds and an eternal drive is created to give our best in life. Prayers are the most resourceful of tools to connect with God. Sooner or later prayers are truly answered by God.

    Signi�icance of PrayerSigni�icance of PrayerSigni�icance of Prayer“PRAYER does not change GOD, but it changes the one

    who PRAYS.” If our life is a kite, Prayer is the thread which helps it to fly high. It is the only way to communicate with God and is the confession of one's own worthiness and weakness.

    Life without prayer is like a lamp without light. So,IN HAPPY MOMENTS, PRAISE GOD

    IN DIFFICULT MOMENTS, SEEK GODIN QUIET MOMENTS, WORSHIP GOD IN PAINFUL MOMENTS, TRUST GODAND EVERY MOMENT, THANK GOD.

    - Kairvee VaswaniVIII A

    “True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart.”Even though you are physically not with us but the cherished moments spent with you will remain in our hearts forever. When you were there with us, we always used to fight but now we have understood your importance in our lives. We may not have told you but you were the most amiable, loving and affec�onate friend with whom we could share each and every thing. You were the only one who taught us what true friendship means. Whatsoever it may be, you will always be the sister of our soul and the friend of our heart. May your soul rest in peace.

    Work HiddenWork HiddenWork HiddenOh dear, I said to the blithe flower

    How joyful you are,Always having a beau�ful smile, Not even leaving it for a while.

    Li�le body so delicate, Whom everyone appreciates,

    To make everyone happy,Is your fantasy.

    It is not me it's we; the flower told me.Who makes you happy,

    My plant is so kind,It nourishes me as a child.And refreshes my mind,

    It makes me happy,So, that I can smile.

    It doesn't receive any praise,But is s�ll happy and keeps me happy,

    And makes the world smile at least for a while…..

  • GOD DISGUISED AS GURUSTeachers thank you for inculca�ng in us the precious value of life.Thank you for helping us in making our brain as sharp as a knife. You are like the sun, in the lives of all the blooming flowers You bring the rays of knowledge as soon as you enter the class. Blessed I am who got a chance to study from a teacher like you as, teachers like you are very few. Thank you teachers for mo�va�ng us and embellishing our lives with your knowledge which is very bright.

    1. WHO you are is what makes you special. Do not change for anyone.2. WHAT lies ahead will always be a mystery. Do not be afraid to explore.3. WHEN life pushes you, you push back even harder.4. WHERE there are choices to make, make the one you won't regret.5. WHY things happen will never be certain. Take it in stride; always move forward.

    Sophia: My Guide ForeverLike a loanee is indebted to the bank, So are we to Sophia, the pres�gious academy of first rank.Everything we have learnt from ABCs to algebra to excep�onal behavior,Has been taught to us by this Saviour.This temple that taught us to deal with everyday blues,By showering on us a sea brimming with values,Is where I've made a Tsunami of memories and bonds,And aspire to make more with the rise of each Dawn.The only place where the combina�on of Love, Warmth and PrideIs possible; is in Sophia, My eternal guide.

    - Shreya MathurIX-C

    The Unforgettable DreamI wonder how to make fer�le,

    The land all around and bring on smiles.Or to make a house,Just by laying �les.Or to get my files,

    Neatly in piles.Or to watch the ocean bed,

    When the sun goes very red.Just imagine the mermaids,In shades of pink and blue.

    That would be, indeed, something very newOh, my dream! Goes on and on….

    I just end this poem though,But I wish this dream could,Someday really come true!

    -Saumya SinghIV - A

    WOMANWoman, a word with millions of emo�ons, who is ready to face each and every situa�on.A woman plays different roles in her life,A mother, daughter, teacher and a wife.Mother- carries love in her heart, Her heart is as sweet as apple tart.Daughter- willingly wears the cloak of responsibility, She is beau�ful, in her simplicity. Wife- she holds a family together, Without her support, family sha�ers. Teacher- she creates a be�er society, she teaches with pa�ence, love and crea�vity.What can I say more, a woman is the one who gives birth to a new life.Do you think there is anything more le� to write?

    - Aayushi KukrejaXI-Sc.

    TEACHER

    You are the heart of every classroom,The soul of our school,

    The mind behind the message,That learning is cool,

    Each day you teach usIs a day to rejoice,

    Because of you someday, We will have our own voice.

  • Words are o�en referred to as the weapons that can change the world through their enormous poten�al of influencing people. They can bring happiness and confidence but even sorrow and demo�va�on. The weapon of words is indeed the most powerful one and the most onerous to handle. We o�en fail to apprehend this power and use it thoughtlessly by stabbing someone with them. Believe me, they even have the poten�al of killing someone from within, but also on the other hand can give an en�rely new perspec�ve on life. Recklessly throwing words of contempt and hatred affects our character and drowns us into the ocean of nega�vity. Prac�cally, even if our words cannot bring a change in the world, they can atleast be used to improve ourselves. The essence of true joy lies in apprecia�on and spreading smiles. Words of gra�tude and kindness bring back to us the felicity lost with the innocence of a child. Words cannot make someone's future bright by themselves, but can give the mo�va�on for turning the life in the direc�on of success. So, always be sure to use your words for the be�erment of yourselves and others because what you give is what you get back.

    I never presented her any roseI never gave her any chocolate

    I never gi�ed her any teddy bear But then too her love

    Was every �me given to me.

    I did not know who I was I did not know where I came fromShe told me that I am a gi� of god

    Given to her.

    During scary and fearful nightsShe told me stories

    Of angels who brought lightsAnd that light I took To reach up �ll here

    And as the �me passed by I lost my every fear

    Se�ng up goals Taking up challenges

    Was taught to me by her.

    She was the one Who was with meIn my every tear

    And she is None other than my mom

    My guide, my mentor.

    It was 14 years ago, though; it seems like yesterday when I entered this great, fun -filled world of Sophia. But the �me has come now, with tears of sadness to leave behind these 14 years of fun, joy and togetherness and happy tears to carry the precious moments and memories spent in Sophia. The days spent giggling, laughing, cheering with friends. Those assemblies which helped us grow up with good values and to experience the presence of God within us. All those compe��ons which helped to bring out inherent talents of crea�vity, leadership, teamwork, etc. We discovered that these compe��ons helped us not only to develop a compe��ve edge but they also taught us co-opera�on, presenta�on, to lend a helping hand , to be apprecia�ve of others and to be grateful for the God given talents. It's difficult to imagine that now there will be no more waking up early for school, no more wearing our lovely blue uniform, no more assemblies of this kind, no more school celebra�ons and DJ par�es (specially the Children's Day) and now even no more running for each others �ffins….. “In the cookie of life, school and teachers are the chocolate chips that make life sweet, surprising and yummy.” I would like to thank my teachers for being the yummy choco-chips of my life; for nurturing and building up my personality. Also a word of gra�tude towards my loving sisters who with their constant prayers helped me to be what I am today. At the end I would conclude with the following lines-“Moving on is simple. It's what we leave behind that's hard.”

    Mr. examina�on,I have no prepara�on

    I am afraid of you,Kindly tell me what to do.

    Nothing will you gain,Coming fast as train.

    Don't come as Kashmir mail,Otherwise I will fail.

    You are early, I am late.I am daily losing weight.

    Let me pass through the dark,So that I get good marks.

    Come, come, come, if you must,But let me learn my lesson first.

  • "What rules the would is an idea , because ideas define the way reality is perceived."- Irving Kristol

    Life consists of ups and downs, sorrows and joy, love and hatred but what counts is the lesson and knowledge you earned from these experiences and used in your day to day crea�ve thinking. Crea�ve thinking inspires ideas and ideas change the world. Life is what a person thinks and the world changes if you change your thinking. Innova�ons is the way to do things be�er but the thing is we have to put an effort to discover it. A single brilliant idea can change the life of a person like it changed of Franklin who on one stormy evening happened to fly a kite and got a shock which electrified his life with the inven�on of electricity. Ideas scribbled by Chanakya, Leo Tolstoy, Karl Marx revolu�onalised the whole world. Truly world is not ruled by power but is governed by ideas that verily rule the world and also the minds of people. Determina�on to translate ideas into prac�ce can change the world and do wonders.

  • Republic Day CampNCC is an ocean of opportuni�es, to experience everything at a very young age. RDC, Republic Day Camp is one such opportunity to see life from a very close perspec�ve. It is a series of camps star�ng from district level �ll na�onal level and we had the privilege, I Cadet Sgt. Neelanshi Jain, Cadet Sgt. Pihu Dadhich and third officer Ma'am Kavita Pancholi to be a part of the con�ngent of 106 cadets and instructors, who were all set, a�er going through the tough training, mo�vated and filled with compe��ve spirit of the interdirectorate compe��ons revealing the rich heritage of the respec�ve states. We made friends, interacted with foreign cadets, met some of the most honoured VIPs of our country, the PM, RM, RRM, CM Delhi and Chiefs of the 3 armed forces. It was a life�me experience and we made the most unforge�able memories at a very young age.

  • Sophian family bid adieu to its senior most member, Ma'am Sushila Joshi on July 29,2017. A prayer service and a cultural programme was presented by the students. Students bid a tearful adieu to their beloved teacher wishing her joy and happiness for her life ahead.

    'To meet, to know, to love and then to part, is a sad phase of many hearts.'It is indeed very difficult to express in words the beau�ful journey that I undertook 14 years back. The memory is so vivid of my first �ny steps towards my classroom, clutching my class teacher's hand with my trembling fingers. From a nervous toddler to donning the responsibility of a head girl has been a marvellous experience. It is the hard work, love and nurturing of the sisters and the teachers that helped me realize my strengths and overcome my weaknesses, as they are the epitome of strength and a great pillar of support to all of us. They have taught us to learn from failures and enjoy the victories, believe in ourselves and have faith in others, to be gentle and caring and to be tough enough to overcome obstacles... The feeling of having wonderful people around us may be beau�ful, but the pain of moving away from them is even greater. A beau�ful journey comes to an end with tearful hugs and promises to keep in touch.
