Annual report

SHANTINIKETAN PUBLIC SCHOOL, NEW PANVEL

Annual Report

“Success grows where effort is planted, and our school has cultivated excellence in every corner.”

We strive for excellence with sincerity of purpose, independence of thought, action among our children and developing sensitivity to others’ well -being and feelings.

Our school is an example of what leadership with vision, commitment and discipline can achieve. Looking back at our journey in serving the cause of education, since 2009, when our first school came up. We are trying hard to take the legacy forward set by our founder, LATE SHRI SAMBHAJI PAWAR and are working on his vision. We feel proud at the thought of the memorable milestones we have achieved.

We Hearty Welcome, Madam POONAM RAJESH PAWAR, president of NJBSPM who helps the SHANTINIKETAN PUBLIC SCHOOL to reach the pinnacle of success.

We are immensely privileged and honored to have honorable MLA SHRI. PRASHANT THAKUR here, he is a renowned politician, as our Chief Guest.

I once again heartily welcome you all to the Annual Day Celebration of Shantiniketan Public School –  ABHIJAY (2025 – 2026) with numerous themes like CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ, NAV DURGA, YOGA, HORROR, SHIV TANDAV, PARANORMAL, SPORTS and closure with GRAND FINALE.  

The theme depicts the message that true strength is born from a blend of courage, spirituality, discipline, and resilience. It shows how historic valour (through Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj), divine feminine power (through Nav Durga), and inner balance (through Yoga) guide a person to rise above fear, darkness, and uncertainty—symbolized by the themes of horror and the paranormal.

The intense energy of Shiv Tandav represents the destruction of negativity and the awakening of fierce determination. Meanwhile, Sports represent perseverance, teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Together, these themes highlight that life’s journey involves facing both visible and invisible challenges, and overcoming them requires not only physical ability but also moral strength, mental focus, and spiritual depth.

Ultimately, ABHIJAY conveys that victory belongs to those who align power with purpose, courage with compassion, and discipline with unwavering belief in themselves.

I am indeed honoured to have this opportunity to present before you, the consistent upward

graph of our school’s achievements and I would like to thank each one of you for being a

significant part of this glorious journey.

It is my privilege and pleasure to present the Annual Report for the year 2025 – 2026.

It has been a truly rewarding year.

  •  ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS ACADEMIC

The sincere efforts of students in the CBSE Exams brought laurels to the school.

The year 2025 started on a wonderful note when the result of our class 10th CBSE Board

Examination was declared on 13th May, 2025. We feel proud to share that Shantiniketan Public School attained 100% result with so many first divisions.

Excellence in academics is the hallmark of any good institution and class 10th board result of our school has proved without any doubt and our students made us proud.

None of these achievements would have been possible without the single mind commitment and dedicated care of our teachers.
