The Right Attitude towards English (The language and the subject)

You all must realize that

The last two years of school are an excellent opportunity to polish your English language related skills.

As a student from an English medium school, it is expected that you will have reasonable amount of fluency while applying for college admissions and sitting for interviews.

CBSE English paper format is extremely scoring!! Work with us and a 90+ is not difficult to score!!!

Commerce and Humanities Students should know that English is counted in the BEST of FOUR for College Admission. 

How to go forward?

Speak more in English- at home (if possible), in class and with friends (definitely possible)

Not for anyone else but for your betterment!!!

Participate in class assemblies (you get to speak on the mic., overcome the hesitation of speaking in public)

Participate in senior school activities/ take up responsibilities- These will look good for your college applications!!

Senior School at St. Columba’s is the last leg of your education at a brilliant institution. Make the most of your time to become a better version of yourself before you graduate!
