Time never stops and life never ends. Every year as one batch of students leaves the school, our heart becomes heavy with grief and melancholy as they depart. Those 10 years they spent towards the school are valuable and memorable. For some it was a bitter experience but for some it was a golden decade serving as a stepping-stone to success.

The school organised a Farewell Dinner and Award Ceremony on February 25. The programme started at five with a welcome speech by Mahesh Sajnani. The award ceremony was held with the ‘Dr Amir Thapa Memorial Best Student Award — Class VI’ being presented to Suchi Singh. For the first time in the history of St Xavier’s, a girl won the award.
