DAILY RAY______________________________


"The moment a man can really do his work, he becomes speechless about it; all words are idle to him; all theories. Does a bird need to theorize about building his nest or boast of it when it is built? All good work is essentially done that way: without hesitation, without difficulty, without boasting."
(John Ruskin 1819 - 1900)

"A word of encouragement during failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success."

"Most people are not really conceited, but feel a certain amount of inferiority and tend to get a little discouraged with themselves, therefore encouragement is a very important thing!

I do it all the time! I praise everybody for everything they do that I see is good."
(David Brandt Berg)

"If you commit yourself to performing one 10-minute act of

exceptional customer courtesy per day and induce your colleagues

in a 100-person company to do likewise, that means 24,000 new

courteous acts a year. Such is the stuff of revolutions!"

(Tom Peters)

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
(Unknown)

"Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come."
-- Og Mandino

"I couldn't motivate a bee to sting you if it didn't have the equipment.
I couldn't motivate a snake to bite you if it didn't have the teeth.
You can only bring out of people what they are capable of giving.

Two of the great myths circulating now are that Heinz beans are the best and that I can get out of men more than they have inside them."
(Brian Clough, football manager)

DAILY RAY_________________________________







"Whether one is 20, 40, 60, or 80, whether one has succeeded,
failed or just muddled along, life begins each morning.

All past days are gone beyond revisiting.
All days that still may come are veiled in mystery.
Each new day is Life and life begins anew with it.
Each night of life is a wall between today and the past.
The greatest fact in life is this, that it is never too late to start again.

However discouraging your days may have been, keep this thought burning brightly in your mind: Life Begins Each Morning!"

(L. M. Hodges)

All Saints' College started in July 1869, is an English Medium residential-cum-day girls' college under the management of the All Saints' College Society. The College is located at 1938 metres above sea level, in the picturesque town of Nainital in the Himalayas in Northern India.


The College aims at imparting a complete and quality education in the true sense of the word, not only by way of formidably high academic standards, but also by developing all faculties - intellectual, physical and spiritual.


The present Junior School building, which was originally the training college, was built in 1925. Again in 1945, on the departure of the Holy Family Sisters, the management was taken over by the All Saints' College Society, of which the Bishop of Agra Diocese (The Church of North India) is the Chairman.
This educational institution is an English Medium residential-cum-day girls' college under the management of the All Saints' College Society; registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860.




LOCATION & CLIMATE
The lure of the Himalayas is as old as the first human being to behold their majesty. For the people of the Indian Sub - continent the Himalayas have always been more than a mere geographical entity. We have peopled these mountains with our Gods and our legends, sieved our philosophy of life through the minds of men who went through the Himalayan experience while reaching out for Universal truths of creation.
Kumaon's glacial valleys and mountain peaks have time and again hypnotized travellers and climbers to conquer their heights. So distinct from the rest of the Himalayas, Kumaon still retains the relics of its pre-British era. The lake district of the mountains, Nainital's countryside unfolds a blue-green panorama of shimmering lakes - splashed with brightly coloured yachts, terraced slopes, emerald valleys and velvet downs.
Set over 1938 meters above sea level, Nainital rises up and around its large lake. The school is located on Ayarpata Hill, 6800 feet above sea level and about 600 feet above the Nainital lake and at a distance of about 2 kms. from Nainital town. The estate adjoining the grounds of Government House extends over thirty-six acres of forest-land; pasture-land, vegetable garden and orchards. The climate is bracing and the temperature variations are small. The pollution-free environment of this chaste abode far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife is ideal, not only for physical well-being but is exceedingly conducive for academic pursuits with all the advantages of being distanced from the distractions and adverse influences of city-life.


AIMS & OBJECTIVES

The College aims at imparting a complete and quality education in the true sense of the word, not only by way of formidably high academic standards, but also by developing all faculties - intellectual, physical and spiritual.
Our endeavour is to enable students to develop an analytical mind, intellectual curiosity, morel integrity, a stong sense of values, a disciplined life style and a feeling of companionship among students that will transcend social, communal, religious and provincial prejudices.
The College aims to develop the minds of the students and also their physique, their skills, their personality and leadership traits and create a sense of fellow feeling with their less fortunate peers.
The college lays stress on practising true equality among all students irrespective of the financial status and background of their parents. In addition to the formal curriculum, there is also a hidden curriculum of unexpressed and usually unexamined ideas, values and behaviours that are communicated to students through informal means.
A strong emphasis is laid on games, co-curricular activities, project work, etc. so as to relate education to real life experience and to take education beyond the confines of the calssroom, making it into a rich, simulating and creative experience.
