"The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers." — Ralph Nader

I Devannsh Mishra, would like to express my sincere gratitude towards the Almighty, The School Management, our Principal Rev Fr Archibald D Silvaand the teachers for giving me the opportunity to be the School Captain of St. Aloysius High School.

This journey, as many of us already know, is not merely about holding a title but about growing into a leader who can make a difference in our school community. As I reflect on this journey, I find the role of the faculty and management to be of paramount importance in not just my journey but in every student who is lucky enough to enter the gates of St. Aloysius high school.

The journey to becoming school captain has been one filled with various challenges but at the same time filled with lessons about life that have taught me valuable teachings and have helped shape me into the person that I am today .Our school right from the start laid the foundation for leadership through its rich educational environment. Here, learning extends beyond textbooks and exams. We are encouraged to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through various academic and extracurricular programs. The ability to think critically and make informed decisions is crucial for any leader, and our school ensuredI had ample opportunities to practice and hone these skills.

St. Aloysius High School is that perfect place where the holistic development of each child is personally looked into. It’s a place where I have spent countless hours, not just attending classes but growing as an individual. Here, every corner of the school tells a story, each classroom resonates with the echoes of laughter, curiosity, and determination that have defined my journey.

The teachers at this school have been more than educators; they have been mentors, guides, and sources of inspiration. Their unwavering dedication to our development has left an indelible mark on my life. They have not only imparted knowledge but have also taught us life lessons that extend beyond textbooks. Their encouragement and support have been pivotal in helping us navigate both academic and personal challenges.

The support we receive from our peers is equally important. The relationships we build and the interactions we have with others are instrumental in developing our interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. As the school captain, managing these relationships and understanding diverse perspectives has been crucial. Our school’s culture of encouragement and recognition boosts our confidence and motivates us to strive for excellence.

As I reflect on the journey that led me to become the School Captain, I am reminded of the powerful words :"Leadership is not about being in control. It is about creating a space where others feel empowered to take control of their own destinies."

These words highlight that true leadership involves empowering others rather than simply directing them. It emphasizes the importance of fostering an environment where individuals can take initiative and realize their potential.

A school captain should lead with empathy, understanding the diverse needs and perspectives of their peers. They should be approachable and supportive, providing encouragement and assistance to students and helping to create a positive and inclusive school environment. This is a lesson I hope to inculcate into me throughout my tenure as school captain.

My belief is that a true leader should demonstrate a strong work ethic, showing dedication to their responsibilities and the school community. Their commitment should be evident in their punctuality, preparation, and follow-through on tasks.Managing the demands of academic work, extracurricular activities, and the responsibilities of being a school captain requires effective time management and organizational skills and these are the skills I intend on possessing .

So, I as the School Captain of St. Aloysius High School, will try my best to take my school to the pinnacle ,"A leader is one who can see the horizon and inspire others to reach it, even when the path is unclear."This quote emphasizes the role of a visionary leader in seeing beyond immediate circumstances and guiding others towards a compelling future, even when the journey is uncertainand I Devannsh Mishra , the School Captain, with your support and my commitment, will achieve excellence and create a legacy worth remembering.

Thank you

"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." – Henry Ford

I Hezron Isaac Masih, would like to express my sincere gratitude towards the Almighty, The School Management, our Principal Rev Fr Walter D Silva and the teachers for giving me the opportunity to be the School Captain of St. Aloysius High School.

Today, whatever I am or rather wherever I stand, I dedicate my success journey to my Alma Mater. St. Aloysius High School; is not just a school it's an emotion to each one of us. Our school is in its Platinum Jubilee year, which is a matter of pride for us. As we all know school is the second home of the young minds where they spent few hours daily with their fellow mates and learn under the guidance of the teachers, it's our parents’ dream that their children have access to the best quality education for the personal and professional growth.

Believe me, St. Aloysius High School is that perfect place where the holistic development of each and every child is personally looked into. It's a place where I've spent countless hours, forged friendships, and learned valuable lessons. The classrooms echo with memories of laughter, curiosity, and determination. The teachers who guided me, the friends who shared my journey, and the moments that defined my school years flood my mind. Our school will always hold a special place in my heart, and these memories will be cherished forever.

As I reflect on the journey that led me to become the School Captain, I am reminded of the powerful words of Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." This quote underscores the essence of our school experience, and it's our collective responsibility to make the most of it.

Throughout my time at St. Aloysius’ High School, I have had the privilege of witnessing the incredible potential within our student body. Each one of us is a future leader, change-maker, and contributor to society. As School Captain, my goal is to nurture this potential, to inspire, and to lead by example.

It is said that “Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." This is a principle that I hold dear, and I am committed to being a leader who listens to your concerns, works for your betterment, and creates an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

My belief is that a true leader should first and foremost envision a work environment where the importance of team work is revered. He is the one who needs to instill the fact in team members, that no one is smarter than all of us, that success is not about individual goals but about collective good, that it is amazing how much we can accomplish if we care less about who gets the credit and more about how much we can do when we aim for something bigger than each one of us.

The next benchmark to set is that of novelty, innovation and the materialization of ideas that are envisaged collectively by diverse minds. Such a goal requires firsthand thinking, soul searching, extensive observation of surroundings, the recognition of what is missing and the realization of that one realm where we need to improvise and innovate.

So, I as the School Captain of St. Aloysius High School, will try my best to take my school to the pinnacle. Steven Redhead said, “Be a visionary focused upon your ability to create your desires within your reality,” and I Hezron Isaac Masih, the School Captain, with your support and my commitment, will achieve excellence and create a legacy worth remembering.

Thank you

“A very warm welcome to the website of St. Aloysius’ High School”

Being a student of Aloysius’ undoubtedly I can say that it is the best institution to stay in .It is the confluence of well educated ‘guiding lights’-the teachers who burn themselves thought their hard work to light u the developing candles; a perfect head to lead the institution- the principal Rev. Fr. Water D Silva, the other supporting staff who helps us though their visible and invisible ways.

I am very grateful to the principal and the school staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to serve my school .it is a matter of extreme honor to be elected as the head boy of such an elite institution which has excelled in each and every field be it in academics, sports, interschool and international events.

“To become a diamond you have to be cut and polished and to be a shining star you have to be burnt.”

I would like to thank all the members of this wonderful institution for giving me such moral and spiritual values which have polished me and shaped me to become worthy of being a head boy, this institution has also helped my emergence as a good student also a good human being.

According to me, if we want to achieve our goals and become a successful man we should:-

• Never give up.
• Never give in.
• Never quit.

Being a passionate and a loyal leader I’ll try my level best to help the students to accomplish their inspirational grades and I assure you that I will leave no stone unturned to make our school reach unscaled heights.

“Coming together is the beginning keeping together is progress, working together is success.”

So, my dear fellow Aloysians, let us pledge to unite and show the strength of Aloysians to the world....!!!

Thank you

“Being a part of St. Aloysius’ High School for its long years I can assure you that this is one of the best institutions that one can be a part of. I feel myself very honored and privileged to be the Head Boy of this great institution.”

First of all, I am very grateful to the school staff for believing in my potential and giving me the opportunity to serve my school as the head boy.

From the very first day in the school, I have learnt many lessons not just limited to academics but about life. And on the basis of that, I can surely say that St. Aloysius’ High School is not a school where one is only taught lessons related to curriculum; instead it is a school where one is taught lessons related to life as well.

My fellow Aloysians, I feel proud to say that we have performed very well as far as academics, sports & co-curricular activities are concerned but these are still opportunities for enhancement. So we need to engage ourselves in working all our weak areas and optimizing our performance.

According to me there are 4 D’s for success.

• Desire
• Determination
• Discipline
• Direction

And we being Aloysians do not need to worry about being provided the right direction.

I also request the senior students to take all the responsibility of guiding the juniors and motivating them to strive towards excellence. At the end I urge all students to work hard in their respective areas so that we can soar high and high.

Thank you

“Success is not just about what you accomplish in your life; it’s what you inspire others to do.”

Being a student for 14 long years in St. Aloysius’ I can assuredly say that it is the best institution to be in. An institution full of guidance & opportunities, it’s an honor and privilege for me to be the Head Boy of this great institution.

First of all I would like to thanks all mighty God! For showing his blessings upon me and of course our respected principal and teachers for showing their faith & support on me. For being the Head Boy it’s not about the position or title but it is about action and example which can make a difference. I stand there as a leader not just to lead you all but to work in collaboration with each one of you, to achieve the best for our school.

I promise to work hard with all my zeal, devotion & determination.

Let us show the world, the strength of unity as Aloysian…..!!

School can become a temple of learning only when the student, the guardian, and the society, in harmony, endeavor to make it a place of pursuit for education, a sadhana; where the spring of punctuality, sanctity and thrust for knowledge flows.

Being the head boy, I consider myself to be fortunate as I have been given such a great opportunity to hold the flag of ST.ALOYSIUS HIGH SCHOOL. This campus has provided a great support to the students so that they can learn true meaning of life and can achieve success. School is the best place for the students as it provides all phases of future to excel.

Standing at this point of my life I would like to thanks my Parents, Principal and my teachers that they showed faith in me.

I assure to be good leader and try to put my 100% efforts to raise our school flag to the top.

"If your actions and words inspire other to dream
more, learn more, do more and become more,
then you are a leader. - John Adams

School Captain
(2016-17)

First of all, I am very grateful to the principal and the staff for believing in my potential and giving me the opportunity to serve my school as a School Captain.

From the very first day in the school, I have learned many Lessons not just limited to academics, but about life. And on the basis of that, I can surely say that Aloysius is not a school where one is only taught lessons related to curriculum; instead it is a school where one is taught lessons related to life as well.

My fellow Aloysians, I feel proud to say that we have performed very well as far as academics, sports and co-curricular activities are concerned. But there are still opportunities for enhancement. So, we need to engage ourselves in working on our weak areas and optimizing our performance.

To come out in flying colors in any competition, according to me there are five basic rules which one should keep in mind:
1) Work hard to achieve your goal.
Remember there is no substitute for hard work.
”There is no elevator for success; you have to take the stairs.”
2) Aim high.
We should aim above the mark so that we can at least hit the mark. And always remember that sky is the limit.
3) Stay motivated!
Motivation is what keeps you going. So, be motivated always.
4) Have self confidence.
Self confidence is the foundation of all great success and achievements.
“To be a winner, you have to believe in yourself. Nobody else will.”
5) We are one.
When there is teamwork, wonderful things can be achieved.

I also request the senior students to take on the responsibility of guiding the juniors and motivating them to strive towards excellence.

At the end, I urge all the students to work hard in their respective arenas so that we can soar high and high!

Abhay Pratap Singh
Class XII School Captain

First and foremost I would like to express my feelings of gratitude towards the school Principal and staff for providing me the opportunity to serve my school as a school captain.

Right from the time I stepped into the school I have perceived my school as an esteemed and premier institution. I would like it to continue to be so always.

Our School has a glorious history and it owes to us students that we forge ahead on the same path by means of hard work and co-operation.

In our glorious journey ahead, in my opinion there are four important points to keep in mind.
First, Developing self confidence and self belief.
Second, Dream big.
Third, Think ahead.
Fourth and the most important is to adopt a practical approach and not just remain at dream or thought level.

If we want our dream of glorious St. Aloysius’ School come true, we need to work hard.

“If you want to shine like Sun, first you have to burn like Sun”.

I urge the Office bearers to set an example of magnificent leadership so as to motivate students to strive towards excellence.

At the end I would like to draw the student’s attention to these famous lines that can boost their confidence.

“Life’s battles don’t always go to the
stronger or faster man
But sooner or later to the man
who thinks he can”.

As the School captain I solicit the co-operation of all students so that with great achievements for ourselves and school, we can march ahead in the path of glory and dignity.

Harshit Agarwal
Class XII School Captain

I am indeed grateful to the Principal and the Staff for providing me the opportunity to serve St. Aloysius’ High School as School Captain. I have always thought of my school as GLORIOUS ALOYSIUS – YESTERDAY – TODAY – TOMORROW.

I invite my fellow students to share and strengthen my vision of the school. For this requisite ingredients are to be provided by the students in the form of their skills, talents, cooperation and hard work.

In this great undertaking, it is essential for us to develop common opinion and aim i.e. to make sure that we all are united in thought and action. In order to ensure complete uniformity in thought and action, the so called “Common Action Plan” should be adopted by every student of the school.

Common Action Plan:
Salient features:
1.) We will engage ourselves in sharpening our skills and eradicating our weaknesses. Students should try to identify their potential and work on them. They should look upon their teachers and seniors for guidance and assistance.

2.) Seniors, Take charge-
Students of the senior section should take up the responsibilities and portray themselves as ‘Ideal Students” to their juniors.

3.) We are one-
Spirit of unity should be developed so that we work as a team. Selfish motives should not precede the welfare of the school i.e.
School is more important than individuals. Above all, take pride to be an Aloysian.

4.) Aim High, Aim Big!
Our approach towards our goal should be positive and spiced with determination i.e.
We’ll aim for the Moon
Because even if we Miss
We’ll land among the stars!!!

5.) Say Yes to can, No to can’t -
Self belief should be generated, as it is the most trusted tool in the process of achieving your goal. Explaining the process in a few words, it’s about.
Dreaming………..Believing………and……….Achieving.

6.) Something to learn, something to remember…….
a) To be as hardworking as an ant colony
b) To be as organized as a flock of disciplined birds
c) To be as united and busy as bees.

7.) Final Destination:
After going through the above suggested measures, our aim can be summarized as:
To shine on the academic front
To dominate co-curricular events and
To excel on the sports field.

And of course, always remember to let the school flag fly high and fly forever!!
