"Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses"-Norman Vincent Peale

I am indeed grateful to the Almighty for choosing me to serve St. Thomas School once again, after a gap of five and a half years. Our school has come a long way in imparting knowledge to the children from all strata of the society, without diluting the holistic development of each student in terms of his/her social, emotional and intellectual development.

Life is a gift to be responded with grace and courtesy. Discipline, self motivation,focussed attention, commitment and confidence are traits that are the need of the hour. We strongly believe in giving the best to the world and the best will be coming back to us.

As a responsible stake holder in the process of social renaissance, St. Thomas believes, in inculcating moral values and empathy in the young minds. In view of the same, we adopted an under developed village, KAUSHALYA in the year 2007 and committed ourselves to improve the literacy rate as well as hygiene and health conditions of the residents of the village. With humility and whole hearted involvement of our staff and students we are still continuing that noble venture.

SHARE IF YOU CARE" is another noble initiative started in the year 2011 by the students themselves under the guidance of the Chairman and staff members through which they exhibit their love and concern towards their own needy friends.

To reinforce our empathy and commitment towards society, St. Thomas management with the co-operation of the staff members started an informal afternoon school HOPE" for the children of the marginalized ones in the neighbourhood of our school in the year 2016. They are provided with all the facilities which the students of our formal school enjoy.

I take this opportunity to thank all the stake holders of our school for believing in us and helping us to serve the mankind in whatever possible way.

Light to enlighten" is our motto. Let"s all strive together to ignite these young minds with the divine light and through them let"s spread it across the nation without any barrier. Let"s together explore each young talent and channelize them in the right path of excellence. Let"s enlighten the world by our thoughts and deeds.

With best compliments and prayers from St. Thomas family

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom" is the Mission Statement of St. Thomas School. Completing a glorious and eventful decade, the School has entered a new decade. All these years the School has been making all efforts to fulfill our mission that is the 'Spiritual, physical and intellectual growth 'of our students. Our aim is to provide a congenial atmosphere to nurture every child's potential and to enable him to become a global citizen with a multifaceted personality who is strong in his values and academic excellence.

Over the years we have grown in quantity and quality. The strength of students has increased to 2700 and that of the teaching and non- teaching faculty to 165.The Sr. Secondary wing has Humanities, Science and Commerce streams with a very accomplished and dedicated faculty. All the batches of the 10th and 12th classes have passed out with 100% results. Most of them are pursuing the courses of their choices in various prestigious Universities, IITs, Engineering and Medical Colleges, NDA and IMA.

The Physical infrastructure too has improved as per the strength and growth of technology. It comprises of a magnificent architecturally marvellous school building consisting of well- equipped Science, Maths, Social Science, Computer and language labs; well- stacked Junior and Senior libraries with a large Plasma TV for showing educational movies and documentaries; Educomp smart class rooms; AV, Activity and Medical Rooms with two qualified nurses and equipments; Sprawling play ground covered with carpet grass meadow consisting the courts of Badminton, Volley ball, Basket ball, Foot Ball, Cricket Pitches with nets, and Table Tennis Tables. To provide clean and pure drinking water to students a huge RO Water Purification Plant is installed which supplies water to the water coolers on every floors and play grounds. A fleet of new school buses with a driver, conductor and a teacher in each are available to transport the students and staff.

We believe that the ultimate purpose of education is the 'all-round development of the total personality of every student.' To achieve that goal we have a series of indoor and outdoor sports, curricular and co curricular activities ranging from Skating, Taek-won-do, various sports and games, Astronomy Club, Literary Club, NSS under the guidance of well trained coaches and teachers. We also have hired the services of an International Sports Company 'The LEAP START' to develop the Sports Skills of the students of our Primary Classes. Two specially trained instructors and play equipments are provided by the company.

'Man is a Social Animal' and 'No one can live as an island.' So, in order to inculcate Social values in our students, the School with the permission of the DM, has adopted an under privileged and backward village. Students, Staff, Nurses and two qualified doctors visit the village once in a month to provide free medical checkup and medicine. School Uniforms, study materials are also provided free of cost to students of the village. Parents with marriageable daughters are financially helped to marry them off. Unemployed women are provided with stitching classes and sewing machines. The School has a Charity Club 'Share if You Care' to raise funds from students to help the poor and needy. Fee concession too is given to the deserving students of our School. Free annual medical checkup of all the students is conducted by a team of hired doctors in the school.

Education is a three tire system� students, staff and parents. The desired results can be obtained only with the active participation of all the three stake holders. Parents are required to come to school not only during the PTMs but also whenever requested. Parental supervised regular study at home will produce better results. Only with the help of the three groups, the vehicle of education can reach the right destination at the right time. With your whole hearted co operation, the School can reach the zenith of glory.

Expecting your co-operation,
Kuriakose V.K.
