Our History 

In 1926, at the suggestion of the parish clergy the Provincial, Rev. Mother Rosario Dicher decided to start a school for Nepali Catholic girls on the verandah of the boys school. It began with 7 girls under the direction of Baptista Murphy, the Novice Mistress and the early teachers were the novices. As the numbers increased a classroom was built and in 1931 Mother F.T. D’ Santos took over the running of the school helped by some dedicated teachers. This group continued to serve the school for nearly 30 years as it grew and developed. 

Since 1998 under Sr. EJizabeth, dynamic leadership the school has gone further both in academics and sports. Our children have started taking part in state level games, quiz contests and the National Children’s Science Congress. Two of our children went even to Germany to attend a Science Programme. Sr. Elizabeth ' s charisma in establishing good relationship with different departments of the government has helped the school in many ways. With financial aid from the D.G.H.C. and the West Bengal Govt. she has been able to improve the infrastructure of the school. A school which had started on a verandah is indeed lucky to have three separate labs for Chemistry , Geography and Biology .It is no wonder children from distant hills and valleys as well as nearby villages want to join the school.
