The Year Begins – With Light and Purpose

On the second of June, when the monsoon sky watched gently, Vimala opened its gates once again—not merely to students, but to dreams waiting to grow. Prayer rose softly in the auditorium, binding young hearts in unity. New students stepped in with wonder and new teachers joined with dedication.

At the centre stood Rev. Sr. Elize CMC, our Principal, whose vision blends academic excellence with moral clarity, together with the gracious presence of Sr. Stany, our Director. A lamp was lit—not just as ritual, but as responsibility. The light passed from the Principal to the teachers, and from the teachers to every child. Because at Vimala, knowledge is not possessed. It is passed on.

When the Earth Became a Teacher

On World Environment Day, hands that write examinations touched soil. Saplings were planted by the Principal, the Eco Club and students who learned that the future is fragile and protection begins early. These saplings travelled home, where parents became partners and responsibility took root.

Academic Excellence – Where Every Mark Has a Name

Merit Day arrived not as a celebration of a few, but as recognition of many who dared to strive. In the inspiring presence of Dr. Babu Sebastian, former Vice-Chancellor of M.G. University, excellence stood tall.
