FLASHBACK 2010-2011

Life is a gift, accept it
Life is a bell, ring it
Life is a song, sing it
Life is a game, play it
Life is a struggle, face it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is an opportunity, take it
Life is a goal, achieve it
Life is a mission fulfill it

Says the Buddhist literature and thus taking this into consideration, we at NCS Goa provide the opportunities to all the students to fulfill their dreams with a positive outlook and convert it into reality. We firmly believe that the holistic development of our students has to be the tool with which we can achieve the larger goal of social and educational excellence leading to a dynamic and progressive society. I take pride in declaring that the academic year 2010-2011has been very rewarding with children achieving success in academics, sports and extra-curricular activities as well.

To help primary children to gain confidence and to bring them into the main stream house captains and vice captains for the primary section were appointed for the first time in the student’s council .It was a moment of pride for NCS (G) to witness a solemn and decorous ceremony with both seniors and juniors taking the oath.

The staff and students celebrated important events with lot of enthusiasm. The cultural shows presented by the students achieved laurels and praise especially the annual day functions recently conducted. The theme chosen for the primary section was ‘Harmony across the Seven Seas” and that by the secondary section was ‘Kal Aaj Aur Kal’. The shows were enjoyed and appreciated by one and all. It was our crowing glory. The credit goes to the management, staff and students who worked in harmony to make sure that the school rides on the path to success and takes pride in achieving one more feather in their cap.
