Education has both a utilitarian and a moral function. It has a two fold function to perform in the life of man; to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life. It must also train one for quick, resolute and effective thinking. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.

The function of education, therefore, is to reach one to think intensively and critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. We must therefore remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one, not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.

All efforts at Saint Capitanio School are directed to achieve a spiritual formation, intellectual development, a mature sense of responsibility, an upright conscience and an awakening to social awareness in the child. We aim at harmonious, wholesome and holistic development of the child.

These changes are brought about by the shared vision, shared commitment and shared values. We recognize this and appreciate the efforts of our faculty and the parents. Saint Capitanio School sincerely acknowledges and appreciates the efforts of its qualified, dedicated and talented staff for rendering selfless service to the students entrusted to our care.

I have been here sometime now and I must say that I enjoy being in Loreto Ranchi. The first year we put up “the Witness’ which was a superb production in every way, then we had our two great rounds of Sports, Senior and Junior and then this year “Fantasia “ done by the Junior school. In all these events, in which everyone of the girls took part, I saw the talent and the gifts that each one of the students has. Your talents in every field bore good fruit at these productions and numerous other things we staged over the years.

Our Christmas projects also have given me life. it was great to see you, the students of Classes 5-12 going out to the various places Shishu Bhawan, the M.C. Convent in Jail Road which houses different kinds of people from 0-80 yrs of age, the Gurunanak Home, the Blind home at Chona ,the blind school at BahuBazar, the old age home at Hesag and the Cheshire home. the effort you have put into communicating with these people, collecting things for them and bringing your vehicles to go to the different places just before Christmas, has been great.

It has been my dream to see all the girls here reach their full potential and become the best they could be. The school is there to support you in more ways than one, but you have to do the hard work. All must work hard to fulfill their dreams to reach the impossible star and know who they are.

I quote from Marianne Williamson "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

My prayer is that all of us continue to live the Loreto ideals in our lives and see the face of god in all the faces we see each day.
