JIeadmistress Message Dear Parents and Students, I am proud to say that we successfully completed the first term of the academic year 2014-15. I feel honoured and fortunate to be a part of your child's school experience. We at Beaconhouse School Systems believe that teachers and parents can work together as a team to bring out the best in our students and make them successful and better human beings. We do not believe in just imparting
'knowledge' to students but also lay
emphasis on giving them value-based education, which is the need of the world today. I am proud of my enthusiastic, receptive and brilliant students who have made this term a success by contributing to not only their studies but to extra-curricular activities as well. I wish all of you best of luck forthe upcoming term. Stay safe and a Happy New Year to all.
