THE ST. XAVIER’S
HIGH SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION |

In November 1949
a group of parents met in the School Hall to consider the possibility
of running a canteen for the children – to provide clean and wholesome
food prepared under hygienic conditions and sold at reasonable rates |

On 4th
May 1950, a red-letter day in the history of St. Xavier’s High School,
for on that day was born the Student Parent Association of St. Xavier’s,
known today as St. Xavier’s High School Parent Teacher Association.
Soon it broadened its aims to arrange for greater social contact
between parents, staff and students |

On the occasion of Teachers’ Day on 5th September 2005, the
PTA Managing Committee felicitated the teachers at a luncheon held at

activities. The teachers were then presented with a Token of Love

Medical
Camp
The Managing
Committee of the PTA held an Ophthalmic Check Up in the months of
December 2005 and January 2006 in the school for the students of Std.
I, III, V & VII. A token charge of Rs. 5/- was collected from the
students with the objective of generating greater commitment from the
parents and students undergoing the medical check-up. Students found
to have some problem were referred for further investigation and
treatment. They were then advised to consult the eye specialists of
their choice. The team of doctors under the leadership of Dr. (Mrs)
Bijal Mehta, Bombay City Eye Institute, Charitable Trust, Babulnath
conducted the ophthalmic check up. They were supported with a "Mobile
Eye Clinic". |

The past year
has seen increased involvement on the part of parents who have come
regularly to the school and participated in PTA activities. We are
grateful to you dear parents for your constant support and
encouragement. After all this is your organization, a forum of
interaction between teachers and parents and between parents
themselves. If we combine our strengths we shall go a long way in
contributing to the overall development and growth of our children in
this great institution |
