GCIS Cambridge Newsletter, August 2024

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

As I reflect on the values that drive our school, I was reminded of a thought-provoking message

I came across on Facebook sometime ago-

“As we grow older and hopefully wiser, we realize that whether we wear an expensive or

inexpensive watch, they both tell the same time; whether we drive a high-end car or a more

economical one, the road and distance are unchanged, and we arrive at the same destination. True

inner happiness doesn’t come from material things. Whether we fly first or economy class, if the

plane goes down – we all go down with it.”

This message resonated with me as it captures the essence of what it means to be truly privileged.

Privilege, in its truest form, is about perspective—choosing to see the beauty in life, the goodness in

people, and the value in the intangible joys that money cannot buy: happiness, family, time with

loved ones, good health, and the appreciation of our surroundings.

In this light, I see GCIS as a profoundly privileged school. While no institution can claim to be

perfect, we are fortunate to have a community of dedicated educators and staff who care deeply for

our students and consistently go above and beyond to support their success. We are privileged to

be part of a large, beautiful campus equipped with modern facilities, and a rigorous curriculum that

challenges our students to think critically, creatively, and independently.

This sense of privilege is not just about what we have, but about how we choose to use it to create

meaningful experiences for our students. As we strive to provide the best education possible, we

are reminded that the true essence of our work lies in the moments that take our breath away—the

small victories, the breakthroughs in understanding, the connections formed, and the growth we

witness in our students every day.

As we move forward with Mr. Venkat Suresh Lolla as our new Executive Principal, I am confident

that we will continue to reach new heights, embracing the privileges we have and creating

countless opportunities for our students to experience those breathtaking moments of discovery,

joy, and growth.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath

away.”
