Dear Parents,

It is time to say goodbye to Session 2023 - 24 and welcome the new session2024 - 2025. On behalf of St. Sebastian's School, I would like to start on a positive note. This year our school has been honored with Mother Teresa Award as the best school of 2023 - 2024. This is based on All Round Development, Major Academic Results and Philanthropic Activities the school is involved with.

You are all aware that we are adding a new feather to our cap. With great hope and determination we are starting ISC (Class XI and XII). Construction work of our new building has already started, and we are expecting to start operating there by the end of July or the first week of August 2024. We are expecting to provide all kinds of amenities - Advanced Laboratories, Computers and Special environment for Robotics, Coding and Artificial Intelligence with REPL - Robotics Education Private Limited and are also planning to start a Canteen for the Children.

We are introducing Computer Applications from Class IX for the upcoming session. We are also negotiating with a few agencies, who will help our students to join different universities and colleges in Kolkata, India and abroad.

Review of 2023 - 2024 Session:
