It is an honour and privilege to serve as a principal of Podar International School, Nandurbar. I have had a life-long passion for working with children and feel very grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role. I am truly honoured to be part of such a caring, compassionate, and hard-working Podar family.
First, I would like to welcome everyone to Podar International School, Nandurbar. Our mission is to provide each and every child with the highest quality education possible. I believe it takes a village to raise a child and we are truly a village with teachers, parents, and other community members working together to provide what is best for every child here at Podar International School, Nandurbar. As educators, we have the incredible responsibility and opportunity of not just teaching our children but also to make a positive impact in their lives. I believe in teaching the whole child. This means it is our responsibility to teach and to meet the needs of every child instructionally, socially, and emotionally.
As your principal, I promise to keep students at the forefront of every decision we make as a school. We will strive to teach and provide students with the knowledge, skills, and mind-set necessary to have a successful future. We will encourage and teach curiosity, problem-solving, and instil a life- long love of learning. We will teach having a growth mind-set so all students will learn to face the challenges of 21st century with confidence and perseverance. And most of all, every child will be valued and cared for.
My commitment to our community to lead the school with enthusiasm and passion to enable us to reach our goals. Let us work together to make PIS as the best school, it can be. We look forward to welcoming you to be part of our vibrant learning community.
As I conclude I convey my best wishes to each one of you for a successful year ahead. Wishing you all the best !!!
