S. REGUNATHAN
CHAIRMAN

M E S S A G E


The act of putting pen to paper is not only creative but also a great tool towards mental clarity.
That is why I look forward to and applaud this initiative of the school which may be considered “routine”
by some. Even as a routine activity it is an essential one.

Our focus is on developing the overall personality of the child, that is also why this activity is
important… everyone of them does not have to be a writer, a poet or an artist. But every student should
be a part of the whole endeavour in one way or other. My appreciation for the teachers who make this
happen.

Therefore, I feel the magazine is the real barometer of the school for it's scholastic, academic
and creative achievements.


My best wishes for it to grow into a brilliant example of creative content and production.
