A Message from the Principal
"Give a pen to a child, scribble will he a number of lines indicating future hopes and desire.
Give a pen to a student he shall write many exams and become an architect of his future.
Give a pen to a teacher and she shall correct the mistakes of the world.
Give a pen to a judge and he shall pronounce fair judgment
but
Give a pen to a writer and she shall pour her heart in finest words and give form to her thoughts in poetry and stories."
It is all about the power of pen and the art of writing. Like every other skill and art form; writing is the supreme skill to be mastered.
“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe” – Gustave Flaubert
If reading Maketh a Man then writing helps you to discover who you are. Beliefs and hopes can best be described through writing. While putting pen to paper it helps one delve deep into one’s mind to bring out the best.
