Dear Parents/Guardians,
Season’s Greetings!
We have completed yet another successful academic year without much difficulty and the school reopened on 1st
April, 2015 for the new Academic Year 2015-16. A number of activities have taken place in the school since the
reopening and I would like to apprise you of the forthcoming activities.
First of all I welcome all the newly admitted students of Std. I. We hope most of them, if not all, will be with us
for the next 12 years. Best wishes to them.
The Xavier’s family expresses its profound grief at the demise of our beloved Bro. Geo Pulickal, S.J. on
February 5, 2015, who served St. Xavier’s School and College, Jaipur as Vice Principal and Mr. P.K. Saxena,
our Hindi teacher, on 19th March, 2015. We pray to God Almighty to give their souls eternal peace.

sincere and dedicated service rendered to the institution. Mrs. Shikha Srivastava has joined as Hindi teacher in
the primary section, in place of Mrs. Saroj Nautiyal, who has been shifted to the senior school as TGT Hindi in

with us will be beneficial both to the institution and to themselves.

responsibility as the new Vice Principal. He will be in-charge of the discipline and Sports activities of the Senior
