Principal’s Message

A PATHWAY TO PROGRESS…..

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world
– Nelson Mondela 

If there is anything that can bring about a positive change in the world around us, it is education. Education is the only key that can break across the thresholds of inhibition and repression. It elevates one’s mind far above petty opinions and differences. It empowers the ordinary to reach the peaks of success and accomplishment. The campion Anglo-Indian Hr. Sec. School provides it’s learners a value based, activity oriented learning, that takes education beyond the classrooms. We create the zeal in pro-active, multi-talented learners to make a difference in the world. They eventually realize that education must be laboriously sought with devotion and passion, it cannot be simply attained by just enrolling in a institution.

Learners who earnestly apply their every skill in gaining knowledge will be empowered to sail smooth towards their destiny Campion Anglo Indian Hr. Sec.School provides ample opportunities for the students to realize the transformation that knowledge can provide. Be it sports or academics or cultural they are trained to radiate and rise a step ahead of their comrades in creating a news horizon to explore.

The motto for the academic year 2017-2018 is “Campion Youngstars to Inspire”. It stands as a watchword helping students focus their vision beyond the present. ‘He who opens a school door, closes a prision’, says Victor Hugo. So if we want to see the dawn of success and prosperity in the lives of the children entrusted to us it can be attained only by helping them savor the fruit of knowledge and it is our duty to provide a congenial environment that brings about an explosion of knowledge. For it is said “The roots of education are bitter but the fruit is sweet.

Campion creates such an environment that makes an impact on the students to seek experience and master the art of knowledge acquisition and thereby be empowered. We thus hold the ideals of Montfort in lighting young lives and teach the future to learn from the past and achieve great heights in the present.
