ST. ANTHONY'S HIGH SCHOOL
Principal
I am immensely honored and privileged to welcome you dear students, colleagues, parents and well-wishers to the website of our Alma Mater St Anthony's High School, Versova. Launching of the website marks the beginning of a new era, widening of horizon for our esteemed school. The website is indeed a platform to share with others what we discover in the amazing world of knowledge. All are cordially invited to navigate through this site and enjoy the talents, inventions and genuine creativity of our vibrant students. I take pride to acknowledge that new ideas dawn in me and I rediscover myself in the company of the students. Life is to be lived in its fullness by developing the dormant talents within us to be put to the good use of others and thus to experience fulfilment and happiness in life. School curriculum and activities are framed not only to acquire knowledge but also to keep us on the right path. Knowledge enlightens heart to live and to let live in the society. Prov: 3:13 says “Happy is the man that finds wisdom and the man that gets understanding”. Happiness is the foremost desire of every human person and hence the gift most sought after. As far as I am concerned I focus more on attaining happiness by imparting wisdom, right thinking and understanding in and through my teaching and other activities.Our institution strives for spiritual integration of knowledge and values. We the staff members focus on ethics, elaborating positive synthesis between faith and culture and between science and knowledge for the congenial and harmonious development of our wards. Dear students, you ought to be alert to open your minds and hearts to truth, for “the truth shall set you free”. Devote yourselves to acquiring profound knowledge that contributes to the integral formation of your personality; be always inclined to all that is true and good; train yourselves professionally so as to be the responsible citizens and the builders of a society where truth, justice and solidarity reign. My earnest wish for every student is expressed with a Bible quote “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go”. Permit me to wind up with the words of venerable Luigia Tincani: “There is no greater suffering than the unsatisfied desire for knowledge, no poverty more distressing than the poverty of truth, no greater joy than the possession of truth, the pre-eminent way to reach the fullness love.”
