Dear Students and Parents
Greetings from Sacred Heart Convent Hr. Sec. School! Foot Prints on the sands of time… Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime, by leaving behind Footprints on the sands of time. Time does not stop for anyone, but it teaches us lessons through the various experiences that it brings along life’s journey. And along this path we trace the footsteps of those who have gone before us; standing tall on their shoulders and at the same time, even unknowingly, leave behind footprints so that others can follow and be inspired. Sixty-five years is certainly a milestone in the life of an institution, and I feel glad that Sacred Heart Convent Higher Secondary School over these years has made its mark on the local community and city of Mathura. Today with gratitude we recall the heart aches and trials of all our pioneers, as we uphold and pray for all of those who offered their hands and service in elevating Sacred Heart to become a magnificent edifice of learning and excellence. The completion of sixty-five fruitful years is a significant landmark in the journey of Sacred Heart Convent Higher Secondary School, and I am proud and elated that in this academic year 2022-2023 we have embarked on the Sapphire jubilee year of the esteemed existence of our Mission of Education in Motikunj, Mathura.
This journey of sixty-five years was not easy, but an uphill task that was sustained by the dogged determination and persistent efforts of the CCR sisters who overcame various hardships and obstacles in its infancy. The steps we took then determined the foot prints that we made while treading this terrain for keeping our legacy alive.
Today, as we honour the past, we also energize our future generation by giving wings to young dreams and shaping and moulding young men and women to become beautiful human beings. In the context of India’s search for integrity in public life and harmony among people of diverse religious, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, Sacred Heart is a powerful means of preparing citizens of competence, conscience and compassion. The daily experience on the campus of free and joyful interaction among students transcending the barriers of caste, creed and language is itself the pedagogy of life inculcating in them important values that will leave foot prints along their life’s journey. If Sacred Heart is what it is today, it is because of the excellent and committed sisters and staff of the school over the past sixty-five years. With the passage of time Sacred Heart has become a beacon of learning and enlightenment, illumining the pages of history with shining qualities of the thousands of children who have passed through its doors. It has a proud past, a resolute present and a promising future and it is our collective action that will remain as our legacy down the memory lane. Sacred Heart leaves behind incredible legacies of values, principles and philosophies that will become time immemorial from generation to generations. “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” This is our legacy and the imprints that we leave behind on those who walk with us. I wish God’s blessings on each and every member of the Sacred Heart family and hope that may we constantly strive for perfection, moulding impressionable adolescent minds, sharpening our intellects, enhancing our talents and fostering virtues.
God Bless You all!
