School Motto

"Love your neighbour as yourself" is the motto of this School. This principle is the basis of each and every plan and programme of the School for therein lies the best device and driving force to foster in every student the qualities of National Integration, Uprightness and Brotherhood.

School Anthem

Gathered as a family, We stand here today,
Proud and tall, we give our all, In our work and play,
Honour for our teachers, Kindness with our friends
May our efforts win us that, Success that never ends
With love and peace and brotherhood, We live the golden rule,
The future dwells at Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School.

God above as Father, All faiths live as one,
In His care, we learn to share, The victories we have won,
Building our tomorrows, The India of our dreams,
Alma Mater we salute thee, And your love supreme
With love and peace and brotherhood, We live the golden rule,
The future dwells at Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School.

Every child is special, I'm welcome to be me,
Learning, growing, trying to win, In a spirit full and free,
Striving for perfection, With Wisdom as our light,
Ensuring that tomorrow brings, A future fair and bright.
With love and peace and brotherhood, We live the golden rule,
The future dwells at Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School.

“Dream, Dream, Dream
Dreams transform into thoughts
And thoughts result in action”.

There is no plateau in this earthly life, where you can pitch your tent and rest for good. You either move upwards or go backwards; this is the challenge of life. Reaching the top may be easy but to remain there is difficult. So, while we take a few moments’ pause to celebrate with gratitude, the completion of forty years of our memorable journey in Navi Mumbai, we also need to pump in fresh energy and vigour to continue the journey at an elevated level.

“What a great feeling it is to be among young people bubbling with creativity and enthusiasm! What a great responsibility the elders of this country have at hand to guide this tremendous energy in a constructive way for nation building! How can we make up for missed opportunities and failures of the past?”- these are some very poignant observations of our honourable ex-President, APJ Abdul Kalam.

These words of our great visionary leader touch a very special chord in our heart because we, the Agnel Ashram fathers have consciously chosen to envisage and strive to play a significant role in building a united, peaceful and strong India on the strength of value based education. Hurdles, setbacks and difficulties will be there but as Abraham Lincoln rightly said, "let us determine that things can and will be done, and then we shall find the way”.

Education, besides helping children to face challenges of the present times, must also sow the seeds of empathy, genuineness and respect in them. It is important to build in children, the attitude to accept and respect the unique greatness of every individual being- no matter to which community, class or religion he/she belongs to, no matter what his/her abilities or disabilities are. Nature, time and again teaches us that this universe has a special place for every being and we are all meant to live and grow together peacefully.

Let us therefore, rekindle our faith in our motto ”Love your neighbour as yourself”, our belief in the importance of value based education, our efforts to bring about all round development in children and our conviction about the need for an ‘Inclusive’ environment in our schools and colleges. Let us channelize our energies to inspire our youth to grow into socially responsible, genuine and courageous leaders of tomorrow.

History

Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School was established in 1982 in the imposing School Building constructed by CIDCO in Sector 9A, Vashi, with the objective of providing comprehensive education from Nursery to Secondary Certificate Examination to children of all classes and communities from Navi Mumbai area. The School provides education, both, in Academic and Technical streams in Secondary Standards (VIII to X). At present, this is one of the few schools that prepare students for S.S.C. (Technical) Examination.

In the newly approved pattern of technical and vocational training by the Directorate of Technical Training, Maharashtra, the Technical S.S.C. is equivalent to the First Year of I.T.I. From 1986, we have Fr. AgneI Multipurpose Junior College. This College has Science-cum-vocational subjects (Electronics and Computer Science) and Biology and Commerce at XIth and XIIth levels.

Current Status

At present, the Institution has two school buildings in two different plots in Sector 9A and Sector 10A, jointly measuring about four acres of land. These buildings-cum-plots have been acquired from CIDCO. The School (English and Marathi Sections) is a co-educational, un-aided institution affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board for Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board. Presently it is having close to 5,000 students.

What we stand for

This school is being run by Agnel Ashram Fathers, a group of Catholic priests of the Society of St. Francis Xavier, who have dedicated their life to the service of their countrymen, regardless of community caste or creed, guided by the principle of “Love your Neighbour as Yourself” from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Agnel Ashram Fathers, who are involved in establishing the said - vast complex of Technical Education Institution at Vashi, Navi Mumbai, are well known all over the country for their fervent patriotism, as well as, for their strong faith in socialism and secularism, as the most appropriate means for the right progress of the Country. Rev. Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues, the Founder of Agnel Ashram, who left us in 1984 to join His Eternal Bliss, was a prominent freedom fighter in the Goa Liberation Struggle. He established Orphanages, Technical Education Institutions and other Education Centres in Goa, Maharashtra and Delhi.

Fr. C. Rodrigues is well known for his active contribution to the framing of the national policies to curb the anti-national activities and foreign domination brought about through various funding agencies. Trained and brought up in the perspective of these ideologies, Agnel Ashram Fathers endeavour to inculcate the same spirit in the students, under their care, together with high standard of academic, practical and job-oriented education.

Kind of education we impart

High standards of academic, as well as technical education are provided to each student, by using appropriate and modern teaching aids and equipments, including computers, etc. In order to achieve a complete formation and all-round progress of the pupil, together with high level academic achievement, special care is taken, to give them all facilities to come out with the full blossoming of their talents in Music, Dancing, Public Speaking, Dramatics, Sports, Arts and Handicrafts. The School has a Girl Guide and Scout Unit too.

The task of imbibing in each student, the qualities of patriotism, honesty, a secular and social outlook of life, conducive to make of him/her a citizen enlightened with knowledge and wisdom, is the back-bone and spirit permeating through all our activities and endeavours in the education field.
