Principal’s Message

Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,
Greeting!

I am Fr. Augustine Topno. Today, on July 15, 2020 I am joining the office of the Principal in Sacred Heart School, Adra. During the past years, I had offered my services in a similar capacity in St. Joseph’s School, Anandpur, in St. Xavier’s School, Purulia and in Loyola School, Kumardhubi. Today as I join the Principal’s office, I am glad to be a part of this renowned institute of Education. It is eight months since the first outbreak of COVID-19. Its global spread has totally traumatized the entire humanity. Our social, political, economic and religious systems are on hold for unpredictable time.
