ACADEMIC SESSION.

CLASS X
‘A powerful will, made at the very first step and maintained all through, shall never fail to
achieve complete success.’

Dear Parents
With a new session, a new beginning and things will change. When Jawaharlal Nehru
addressed the nation for the first time, little did we know that in a short span of about
seven decades, our country will move forward to become one of the fastest growing
economies and the most promising countries of the world.
History is testimony to the fact that John F. Kennedy believed in new beginnings. His
conviction that man had to tread the space for gaining knowledge of the far and beyond,
at a time when space travel was unthought-of.
With the turn of the calendar, the commitment to take the school to greater heights is
more firmly established. New energies, new blood pumped into the system brings a fresh
thought and a paradigm shift is being envisaged. Undoubtedly, this would require hard
work, perseverance and a firm belief in the adage ‘Yes, We Can’, but we are committed
and with a firm resolve, would surge forth to accomplish the vision of our preceding
stalwarts who set the tone and tempo for performance.
Any institution works smoothly and attains recognition and its place on the ladder with
team-work and mutual trust. The parent body is an integral part of this trajectory. Their
continued involvement, collaboration and motivation to the student community will lead
to the accomplishment of personal as well as school goals. Newer and more innovative
ways of collaboration need to be evolved and implemented. To attain this, the institution
is committed.
To the students, I have but one message to give. Dream big and work towards your goal.
We, at BLS International School Hathras, strive to see your beginnings culminate in
unparalleled success. And, success comes to those who are good human beings while at
the same time excel in scholastic as well as co-scholastic fields. You stepped into the
portals of this great institution with fresh thoughts, lofty aims, high hopes, and exalted
aspirations. I assure you that your ambitions will be accomplished through the able
guidance of the highly accomplished and experienced faculty of teachers. In return, the
school seeks superior ethics, positive attitude, social and moral values and discipline.
Remember, you are the torchbearers and your first and foremost duty is to follow the
footsteps of the trailblazer alumni yet chart a unique course for yourself.
To conclude, I would like to reiterate my belief with this quote by Henry Ford: If
everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself. So let’s all join
hands to take off on this journey to higher orbits of excellence.

With Warm Regards
