Shaw Public
School started its journey three years ago
and we have come a long way since then. Pursuing
excellence in all spheres of activity and making
learning a rich and varied experience are our
obvious aims but we at Shaw Public School believe
that we have a greater mission. While the pursuit
of knowledge, we feel, will give our students
immense power to explore the vastness of space
as well as to reach into the minutest cell, we
would also like to work towards nurturing their
senses to be able to heed to the gentle stirrings
of nature and to be able to listen to their hearts
even as their minds are full of the fruits of
knowledge. We hope to be able to touch the lives
of our children in their growing years so that
they may find the clarity and wisdom to live happily,
confidently and freely in this frenzied world.
However, we can’t guarantee to ourselves
the satisfaction that our students will succeed
and be happy after they have received the ‘right
education’. The answer we feel, lies not
in pursuing one’s ambition, not in self
oriented goal seeking but in building love, empathy
and unconditional caring – which for us
is what constitutes ‘right education’.
Only through love and caring do we hope to ensure
that our students will remain untouched by the
distorting influences of comparison, fear, competition
and envy. We believe in a new vision of education
that we hope will liberate our students from the
influence of Greed and Pride. To achieve this,
we will have to educate ourselves, plant the seeds
with love and care and then watch them as they
blossom into new life and in time, bear fruit.
However in doing so, they will awaken colour and
fragrance and invite new and enduring relationships.
In short, they will fall into life and we hope,
will live it to the fullest.
