It is rightly said that a leader is the one who knows the way, goes the way
and shows the way.
I stand before you today, as the newly appointed Head Girl, humbled and
honoured to have been given this prestigious position. A great
responsibility is bestowed upon me by our schooland I see this as a great
opportunity; anopportunity to win the trust of the Student Council to
organise and represent them with honesty and enthusiasm.
St. Xavier’s High School, my second home, has given me a lot to learn from
during the past ten years and now that I have been entrusted with such a
responsibility, I look upto all the past leaders who have done so much for
our school and I look forward to doing the same and carrying forward the
legacy and dignity of our school.
As our school song says:
“OUR SCHOOL IS A PLACE OF LEARNING
BUT IT GIVES AS WE PUT IN”
It has carved in me a tendency of dreaming to reach pinnacles of success.
It is a place where we can grow and thrive and work together for success.
With integrity, insight and a relentless spirit, we can unlock the hidden
treasures of our talents and abilities. I would like to urge each and every
Xaverian to abide by the motto of our school, to serve ‘FOR GOD AND
COUNTRY’ and for the ‘GREATER GLORY OF GOD’ with full devotion, zeal and
determination, to keep our school's flag flying high up in the sky, mounted
with love, hoisted with dignity and fluttering with grace.
I am excited for the year ahead and the opportunities that lie ahead of us.
So let us try for excellence in everything we do, whether it is in our
academics, sports or extra curricular activities and be the best version
of ourselves. Let us work together and support one other to take our
glorious school to a NEW ZENITH OF SUCCESS AND EXCELLENCE and make this a
year to remember for the ages to come.
Thank you.

It is rightly said that leaders are not born, they are made, meaning to become different from the crowd; the one who takes the courage to step first.
"The objective of leadership is to help those who are doing well to do even better "
Being elected as the head girl of St. Xavier's high school session 2022-23 , I see this as a great opportunity; an opportunity to inculcate values, discipline and harmony in the lives of others; it is a chance to lead by example. This indeed is an opportunity to create a shared vision forced better society.
I express my gratitude towards the enlightening and indwelling visions of our school's heads and all the teachers and student aspirants who have put trust in my ability to lead and produce results. For me, being the head girl is not about position or title but it is about action and example which can make a difference. It is an honour and privilege for me to be the head girl of our school. I stand here as a leader not just to lead you but to work in collaboration with each one of you to achieve the best for our school. I promise to work hard with all the zeal, devotion and determination. I will try my best and work persistently for the excellence of our school and to serve for "God and country".

Right from the very beginning, St. Xavier’s has been producing all its students as great achievers of fine personalities, those who keep up the motto of the school, ”For God and Country”. Thus being the Head Girl of such a reputed institution comes great responsibilities with trust upon me to maintain the order and discipline in the school so that we can uphold the legacy of Xavier’s and Xaverians. But this task cannot be achieved at all without your co-operation and support. I will try to give the best of me to my school and expect the same from all the students. One may not excel in every sphere of life and be a great achiever, but I believe, being a good human makes a person a great achiever in itself. Thus one shall learn these virtues while being a Xaverian, to serve for God and Country so that one shall also carry these virtues throughout one’s life and remain a Xaverian always.
First and the Foremost, I would like to thank the almighty and will pray that his blessings are always showered on us. I am also thankful to my teachers and principal who nurtured me and thought of me as being capable to serve the post of a head girl. Thanks is infact a very little word to describe the opportunity that I have been provided. Being a head girl, a dream and aspiration running in each next girl of the school, with me being not an exception. With me getting such a coveted post comes the great responsibility. And I will be highly delighted the day when I will look back after one year to notice that yes I lived my job as a head girl to the fullest, fulfilling my whole responsibility. And to my friends batch mates and juniors, I will just say one thing that I am still your friend, batch mates and senior with the tag and batch not coming our way. Just looking for a beautiful and enriching journey with the support of you all. I will also pray for my school students to excel in every field and keep up the Legacy of Xavierians. And, last but not the least being a true Xavierian, plus a head girl, I will also try to excel in academic and extra-curricular to my best.

ST. XAVIER’S, PATNA is such an institution which is giving opportunity to thousands of students from last 75+ years to achieve success in their life and become a great role model for the coming generation.
When it comes to be the head girl of such a glorious school, it brings a lot of responsibilities and expectations from each one of you. But I can never complete these responsibilities and stand on your expectations without help, trust and guidance of each one of you. My dear friends, I will always stand next to you whenever it is needed but at the same time your support is also expected.
“WHEN IT COMES TO BE THE ARCHITECT OF CHANGE,I DON’T KNOW OF ANY MORE EFFECTIVE BLUEPRINT THAN EDUCATION”- Chancellor Linda Kathie.
But education is not received, it is achieved. Our school is giving us the opportunity to achieve this quality education. A child comes here with a dream and this school makes that dream come true. I want to wish you all the very best for your dreams. May God shower his blessings upon all of us and guide us on the true path. At last, whenever you enter this campus remember one thing – This school has its own glorious history and being a part of it, it is your duty to maintain its honor and legacy.
It is always hard work that gives you result: talent and interest are just stairs
that take you towards the start of your journey of success.
School is not a building or a place to visit for a few hours for fun and enjoyment
instead it's a factory by profession is created with grid zeal and zest.
St. Xavier's School is surely playing a very active and positive role in it. It's
been a great pleasure for me to study here and be a part of it.
It is said "Great leaders set examples in front of others and inspire them" As students
it is necessary for you to share your ideas and views so that we can do better in
the future, keeping in mind that discipline is a must in life as it develops a character.
All of us are building blocks of this institution and it is our duty to create a
Fresh, friendly and disciplined atmosphere. We are here to prove ourselves and to
show the world our talent and ability, So don't be shy of it. "To become a Diamond
you have to be cut and polished" and "To be a Shining Star you have to be burnt".
So my friends work with full enthusiasm and exuberance to achieve your goals because
leadership is nothing but the capacity to transform vision into reality. We know
that United we stand and divided we fall.
So throughout this academic session we will try to work together as a team and we
will always stand by each other because we believe that unity is strength.
Take care of the things around you, to be good in yourself and bring the best spirit
of Xaverians within you.
