From the desk of the Managing Trustee

In a world fast being taken over by technology and artificial intelligence, it is heartening to see all the members of our school community making the most of myriad opportunities and flourishing through cultural and sporting events-while remaining rooted in tradition and values and focusing on academics.

Our students have achieved remarkable academic success across all curricula in the final board examinations. In the IBDP Class of 2024, Arya Tulsyan topped with a perfect score of 45, followed by three students with 44 points. Thirteen students scored 40 and above, and the school average of 35 surpasses the world average of 30.3. The MYP cohort achieved an average of 44 points, well above the global average of 37.48, with Shanaya Thadani scoring an outstanding 53/56 in the MYP eAssessment.

In the Cambridge May/June 2024 exams, Rehaan Kothari and Nyra Palsetia were declared World Toppers with 100% in IGCSE Mathematics. Diya Hosangady topped with 9 A* grades and an aggregate of 96% contributing to a total of 134 A* and 139 A grades across 16 subjects. Out of a cohort of 60, fifty students earned the ICE Award, including 32 with Distinction.

Our entire staff (teaching/non-teaching/security/support) demonstrates unwavering dedication and passion in their pursuit of supporting our students' success in all aspects and their efforts are truly commendable.

The Parent Teacher Association and the Jamnabai Narsee Alumni Association have been very supportive throughout the year and invaluable partners, providing superlative collaboration. I appreciate the PTA's commitment to helping us create an inclusive and accessible learning environment for all members of our community and that of JNAA in keeping our alumni connected and engaged through its signature events.

Friends, it's been a productive year. As we celebrated my father's (Founding Managing Trustee Shri Chatrabhuj Narsee) centennial birth anniversary on 5th December, 2024, we have collectively reflected on how far his vision has seen fruition and what we can do to keep that legacy alive and thriving.

May all your thoughts and actions be aligned with that vision and sense of purpose.

Best wishes to all of you.

Regards,

Jairaj C. Thacker
