Head Mistress

It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of the St. Mark's Public School family, a journey that began in 1986. In 1988, I was entrusted with the responsibility of serving as the Headmistress, a role that I continue to cherish and uphold with dedication and gratitude.
 
Over the years, I have had the privilege of mentoring thousands of students, guiding them not only towards academic success but also towards becoming responsible, confident, and compassionate individuals. I strongly believe that every child is unique, with their own strengths and potential, and that with the right encouragement and support, every student can achieve meaningful growth.
 
A cause that remains especially close to my heart is the inclusion of children with special needs. I firmly believe that they deserve every opportunity to learn alongside their peers, develop confidence, and become capable of facing the challenges of the world with dignity and independence.
 
Education is most effective when built on a foundation of trust, understanding, and meaningful relationships. Maintaining an emotional connect with students, teachers, and parents has always been central to my approach, fostering an environment where every child feels valued, heard, and encouraged.

Throughout my career, I have been guided by a few simple principles:

  • Enter the school with a smile and carry it into every classroom.
  • Treat every student equally, irrespective of academic performance.
  • Listen to students-they often teach us as much as we teach them.
  • Practice what you preach; lead by example.
  • Avoid preconceived notions and remain open-minded, for every day brings a new opportunity to learn.

Balancing my responsibilities as an educator, leader, mother, and family member has been both challenging and rewarding. The unwavering support of my family, colleagues, students, and parents has made this journey truly fulfilling.
 
As we continue to nurture young minds, let us work together to inspire curiosity, build character, and empower every child to realize their fullest potential.
