“Like all non Agnel students who took admission in Class 11th had felt intimidated with the new surroundings, but soon gelled with them as the term progressed with group activities. The confidence gained along thereby along with the dedicated efforts on the academic front year long (including two hours of coaching and equal number of hours for self-study in addition to the daily classes) after completing Class 11th while pursuing my passion for arts (graphics designing) as a means of relaxation have paid dividends,” said Shriya the youngest of two siblings who wants to pursue Engineering in Computer Science.

Agnel Multipurpose School and Jr. College too was overwhelmed by results of her Class 12th students, many of whom had taken fresh admission two years back, said “The brief association with the fresh students added to the challenge of bonding while ensuring continuous learning too. The same was achieved with team activities and educational trips. In addition stressing on the importance of attendance throughout the year and complete attention span by the students while in class. Kudos to our dedicated teachers who too put in the extra yard in ensuring the doubts of the weakest of students too were addressed, which boosted the confidence of these 17-18 years children. The whole program for the junior college has been managed by our MD Fr. S Almeida who has always stressed on all-round personalities. Extra curricular activities including sports have always played a key role, as it also improves the focus of the students while studying. Our dedicated sports coaches maintain a close liaison with the teachers so as to ensure that those students who represent school in various competitions be it local, state or national, also keep pace with their academic assignments,” shared Snigdha Roy, Principal. 

While congratulating all the students, in her advisory message she further added “There is life beyond marks and the world is full of opportunities. One need not be the best in everything but be good enough to complete the task at hand with conviction. For this one needs to enjoy the task and be passionate, as learning is a continuous process and knowledge never goes waste”.
