With profound grace of the Almighty, and the belief of our Principal, the dreams of us Anthonians find their wings to soar high in the sky and reach heights which used to leave us in awe of its demeanor.

As I set forth in this last year of mine in this prestigious Institution, I reflect upon these 13 years that I’ve spent in this school and I see the dreams that never halted for once in each one of us who tends to call herself an Anthonian, the passion that grew stronger with each passing day, the sense of service, the empathy and most importantly – the aspect of being a family at heart; that is the beauty of St. Anthony’s Jr. College. It constitutes all of us as one and imparts the very same values to each one of us and gives that tint of belongingness and the environment full of love.

My dear Anthonians,

There’s the whole world waiting for you to explore it and dream wonders for it’s you whose in charge of this beautiful life, but never let something control you because if you let it, then it is certain that it will rule over you. Always learn to be humble and full of gratitude towards everything that life offers and even more for what it keeps you away from, for God always has a better plan for us than what we have for ourselves.

It is the nature of the world to put its utmost efforts as in to demolish what one jots days and nights to build for one’s own self. We must never give in to those tactics and certainly should not renunciate to be one of them either. Do what your heart says, keeping in mind the outcome of your actions. One should not overlook what your country, your school, your family did for you, but reflect upon “What can I do for them in return?”

As I conclude with this, I hope that we keep the dignity and the pride we take in calling ourselves Anthonians, alive. May we all be bestowed with the strength to reform and resolve what stands essential for the enhancement of humankind, then, now and thereafter.

By God’s grace, and through the faith of our Principal and the strength of belief, a dream that my ten-year-old self once saw has finally become a reality.

Through this journey, I discovered what it truly means to lead, to serve, and to belong. It taught me that leadership is not about thinking of oneself, but about showing up every single day — carrying the hopes of many on your shoulders.

The true essence of our prestigious Institution lies in its people. It lives within each of you who carry its spirit forward every day.

So, my dear Anthonians,
Each one of you holds within you a universe of potential. Never shrink your dreams to fit the world; instead, expand your world to fit your dreams. You already have within you everything you need to become whoever you wish to be.

The opinions of others may echo around you, but remember — at the end of each day, the only conversation that truly matters is the one between you and your own soul.

Follow what brings you joy, not what the world expects of you. And most importantly, look beyond yourself — to your school, your city, your country, and the world — and ask, “What can I do to make this better?”

As I leave these corridors, I pray that we all keep the Anthonian Dream alive in all its glory. May we walk forward with grace in our hearts, courage in our stride, and the unyielding belief that we were born not just to exist, but to make a difference.

Because once an Anthonian, forever an Anthonian.

I, Vidhi Kashyap, Head Girl of St. Anthonys Junior College for the academic year 2023-2024, feel honored and privileged to shoulder the responsibility of being the representative of the student body. I express my sincere gratitude to our principal, Sr. Beena, teachers, and my fellow anthonians for entrusting their faith in me. I assure you that every step I take will be for the betterment and upliftment of the institution

This institution has played a substantial role in shaping the person I am today. Being the Head Girl is not an instrument of power for me, rather I find this position a channel to make sure every student is heard. For the past 13 years, I have been raised in an environment where discipline and hardwork have always been encouraged and that will also be reflected in my leadership this year.

My dear Anthonians,

The world is changing rapidly. In this current scenario take time to breathe and reflect on yourselves. We often find ourselves lost in the crowd and losing our originality. You are your own strength. Be honest and real and be true to who you are. Your actions should reflect your motives and your sincerity. I firmly believe that having dreams to attain something is more subjective and imaginary than visionary. To succeed, dreams have to be turned into aims and goals. Step out of your comfort zone and experience the challenges and hurdles. True lessons are learned through experiences. Imbibe the values that the institution proudly propagates and bring a revolution without doubting your capabilities. Every child has a unique quality, embrace your uniqueness. Never let the goodness within you tarnish. Build yourself to be a person who you can be proud of.

I hope that every individual who is a part of the Anthonian family retains their individuality and upholds the values, making this world a better place to live in.

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

“Success is no accident. It is hard work”

perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. Once you have a commitment, you only need discipline, dedication and diligence until you get there and the work you put in when no one is watching will matter far more than the work you do when the cameras are rolling. One of the most important things for any leader is to never let anyone else define who you are because the responsibility of one’s own identity is in the hands of every individual. I never think of myself as being a CEO of a company. I think of myself as a STEWARD of a great institution.
