Director Principal Message

Director Principal
G.D Goenka Public School Siliguri

It is with much pride and even greater satisfaction that I present our School Brochure. I look behind with nostalgia and I look ahead with pride and the one thing that sutures the rich and varied days of the Goenkan way of life, is our belief in and our commitment to the Children in our care.

I truly believe that Children are second chance to live a better life. Every opportunity that we may have missed out on, must not only be provided to them but augmented in every way. When history looks back upon the days of the recent past perhaps it will define it as an era of innovation, not only as far as material and technological changes are concerned but in the way each one of us has had to re-wire our way of looking at things. If we have come through them it is because of the benevolence of the Almighty, the diligence of our Staff, the adaptability of our children and above all your implicit faith and trust. I say with confidence that we have lived up to our vision of creating a supportive community where one helps the other to turn aspirations into reality.

It is easy to be swayed by outward appearances, by the magnitude and grandeur of brick and mortar, to be waylaid by the sophistication of infrastructural advantages... but I urge you to turn to the strength not of structures but of the Soul that lies within all the tangible goals we have already achieved, from scholastic to co-scholastic and from technology to travel. We believe that at the soul of this School, lies Respect: respect for peer and elder, for country and culture and for the differences that make each of us a unique person. We also try and propagate Love: a love for all creatures, great and small, a love that puts the other before the self and a love that elevates one's perspective to see only the best. And above we believe in Hope: hope that the best mornings come before the darkest nights that the human spirit is unflinching and invincible even in the worst of times and that whatever be the temporary setbacks... Good always prevails.

So I welcome you to the School of Respect, Love and Hope.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make our lives better through your child!

With best wishes,
Sonika Sharma
