Letter to Parents,28th July, 2010 |

28th July, 2010 Dear Parent, The safety and security of our children has always been one of our most important considerations. As you know we live in troubled times, and this requires us to be increasingly vigilant. There has been a recent incident in Dehradun where a little boy was kidnapped by the family driver (of 7 years service in the same family) and delivered to a gang of extortionists.We are aware, that many of you, for reasons of convenience, send your drivers to pick up your children on outings and journey home etc. I am afraid that as a school we will henceforth, not be in a position to hand over the child to anyone other than the parent, grandparent or an authorized and identified local guardian. You will appreciate that this is being done to minimize any risk on the issue of your child’s security.I would be very grateful for your co-operation in this matter. Warm regards Yours sincerely, Dev Lahiri |

The entire nature of Schooling today is undergoing a fundamental transformation, the world over. Those days are rapidly disappearing when some Schools could “rule –the –roost” purely on the brand equity they enjoyed in the market place. Parents today critically assess the “returns” they are likely to accrue from their “investment” in their childrens’ education. It is, therefore extremely important for Schools today to define themselves in the market place. What does our School stand for? What is that the parents can expect from the School? We at Welham Boys School are very clear about what we want to deliver. We strive to produce young minds who wish to engage with the world of knowledge, minds that are hungry for “more”. It is our considered belief that if the process is right, the results will follow. At the same time, we are committed to developing and enhancing “life skills” - the ability to communicate, to lead, to be a team player, to empathize. And most of all, we are committed to producing citizens with a secular world view, citizens who respect and indeed celebrate differences, and see differences as an unique opportunity to mould a strong nation. We invite you to be partners in this process. |  |
