The team from St. Jude's has played a major role in shaping up Sandeep to the wonderful child he is today. Good going St. Jude's!!!
Cheers and best wishes,

(parents of Sandeep, Bangalore)
We are the proud parents of Sandeep Suresh who has been with St. Jude's Public school & Junior College for over five years now. Our experience with St. Jude's has been very good.
He started with St. Jude's in class V when he was ten years old and now in class IX. He has never felt it as a school but as a place like home where he can go and have fun. He enjoys both the academic and extra-curricular activities the school provides. He represents the school at the Inter School and divisional volley ball matches which makes us proud of this achievement.
It's a very fun loving, cordial and comfortable environment where we see him develop as an individual. We see him develop as a very independent boy, caring for the people around him and sharing his things with all around him. All credit goes to St. Jude's Public School & Junior College.
I still remember the fear and anxiety like that of any normal parent admitting their child to a boarding school but now we do not need to look any further. The instant comfort and reassurance that we got from the school still holds the same. All credit goes to the school's able team led by the chairman and Principal, Mrs. & Mr. Dhanarajan and all the staff at St. Jude's. For my son it is surely his second home and for me and my husband it is peace of mind. The satisfaction we have and the mentoring our child has got at St. Jude's is for all to see.

All these changes that I have perceived in my son are all due to the sincere work done by the management and all the teachers at St. Jude's.

The following positive features attributed to St. Jude's Public School such as; permanent buildings, pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, mandatory uniforms, systematic supervision, sincere attempt to achieve all round personality development, optimum importance for extra curricular activities etc…have helped to maximize its quality of education. The school aims to develop the child mentally, physically and spiritually which leads to self reliance. It also aspires to promote universal brotherhood by imparting religious instruction with an intention to cultivate respect for one's own religion and tole

I am very grateful to the school for moulding my son in a desirable way. I am waiting for my son to grow there and come out of the school in flying colours,

My son C. Aprameya who is now in 5th standard at St. Jude's Public School had joined the school in May 2009. These one and a half years, I have seen a lot of changes in him. He has become responsible towards his work. He has started doing things by himself not waiting for the assistance of others as he used to before. He has turned out to be very helpful to people around him. He is gaining a lot of knowledge and shows keen interest towards reading and towards studies. He enjoys the variety of dishes served at school and his eating habits have really improved. I see the hard work of all the teachers behind the changes that I note in my son. The management and staff are very caring and dedicated towards the children. They are very loving and pay individual attention to every child. I am very grateful to the school for moulding my son in a desirable way. I am waiting for my son to grow there and come out of the school in flying colours, academically and as a good human being.

W e as parents knew that our boys were in safe hands guided by the efficient management. Admitting our children in St. Jude's has made all the difference in their lives.
We as parents knew that our boys were in safe hands guided by the efficient management. Admitting our children in St. Jude's has made all the difference in their lives. They have turned out to be well disciplined and well spoken. The school has helped them to identify their talents in sports and extra curricular activities.

W e can say without hesitation that without the support, encouragement and discipline that St. Jude's has given our son, there is no way he would have been able to pursue his studies to the extent that he has today.

As we look back with a heart full of gratitude at the myriad ways in which the Lord has guided the destiny of this institution, through the victories and vicissitudes, making it great. One that has provided nourishment for achieving ever greater heights to students from far and near. St.Jude's singular achievement is the creation of a school climate which is conducive to the physical, mental and moral growth of its students. The sense of nostalgia will remain along with the unique culture and tradition that makes every student a proud 'Judian.'
St. Jude's is gifted or should we say blessed with some of the most sincere, knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers one would find. Especially Mr. & Mrs. Dhanarajan – a perfect blend of teaching skills, knowledge, determination and compassion. Their outstanding service to the institution and to the nation at large is laudable. God bless them both with health and strength to continue their service to the children placed in their care.
Our son, Deviya is one of the proud students of St. Jude's. We can say without hesitation that without the support, encouragement and discipline that St. Jude's has given our son, there is no way he would have been able to pursue his studies to the extent that he has today, than he was at the time of admission. We wish the school the very best.

The school has not only helped him excel in academics but has also played a major role in shaping him as a person that he is today

How does one feel on seeing a garden full of healthy blooming flowers? Or even a single rose flower at home which has grown and bloomed to its glory thus reflecting its careful nurturing? Elated for sure!! Just a mere glance at the flower is enough to conclude that the gardener has taken good care of the vulnerable sapling by protecting it from all sorts of extremities and has patiently provided the correct nourishment for its healthy growth.
That is exactly how I relate my feelings whenever I see a young Judian – my son ….For the past four years I have observed him being educated, guided, mentored, tutored, escorted and directed in a way that has only taken him upward in his life. As parents we all desire the best for our children. We too had recognized his potential and were sure that he could definitely excel in some field under proper guidance, of course. So, we chose St. Jude's Public School, Kotagiri as the only school where our son would spend his formative years. The decision to keep him away from us in his most crucial years – the adolescence – was a tough one. But, I thank God for showing me the right path and guiding me in making the correct decision.
The school has not only helped him excel in academics but has also played a major role in shaping him as a person that he is today.The moral character of a person is formed not by heredity but by the environment that he lives in. The Principal, the Head Mistress and all the staff have been a moral beacon and the guiding force throughout. The discipline, the responsibilities, the social behavior, the confidence and the general manners and etiquettes that he has imbibed from the school environment have shaped his personality. Good education definitely makes a good person.
It is indeed a pleasure to see one's child grow into a fine human being brimming with confidence, ready to face the world. I can convincingly conclude that “I am a proud parent of a proud Judian.”

Our search for a good school ends at St. Jude's. This is the firm belief of the people who know St. Jude's Public School, Kotagiri.
Parents of C. Sathvika Ram, Coorg.
It is indeed a matter of great pleasure for us to convey our heartiest congratulations on the occasion of bringing out the annual school magazine.
Our search for a good school ends at St. Jude's. This is the firm belief of the people who know St. Jude's Public School, Kotagiri. This reputation reflects sheer hard work on the part of everyone associated with it. It is also because St. Jude's combines academic excellence with an outstanding range of activities and opportunities beyond the four walls of the classroom.
Our daughter who did know the rudimentary knowledge of the different discipline in sports has excelled in her chosen fields of the same, along with diverse extra curricular activities and studies too. We appreciate the efforts of the Principal, members of staff and students and wish them success in all their endeavors.

May God Almighty lead you all and bless you to be a part of countless other children in their steps towards pursuit of excellence in education and in all other related fields.
With apprehension we put him in your school for it was the first time that he was leaving the comforts of his home and family.
However by God Almighty’s Grace, we were reassured by the way your school took up the responsibility of looking after him. He grew from strength to strength and his periodic results boosted confidence in himself and ingrained in him the fact that hard work pays and that God blesses the diligent with success.
The term reports that you used to send us parents and the comment in it “Good work but can do better” was a topic we often mentioned to him during our weekly phone calls.
Both, my husband and I, often discussed and commended and appreciated your dedication to the children’s welfare. Thank you Ma’am, to you and Mr. Dhanraj and Mrs. Sampath, for giving our son the elation of holding his head up high for truly worthwhile reasons.
May God Almighty lead you all and bless you to be a part of countless other children in their steps towards pursuit of excellence in education and in all other related fields.
We truly enjoyed your company and the relationship with you all. And above all please convey our heartfelt gratitude to Abdul Nafiy’s teachers who were an integral part of his studies.

We decided on a boarding school for our children in the year 2006. It was only after gathering information, visiting various reputed schools and meeting their respective principals that we decided on St. Jude's. During the course of our search, I had the privilege of visiting my alma mater, the memories of which I still cherish, was a major factor for our decision. In most cases, it is very difficult to meet the head of the institution but at St. Jude's it is different. For the past five years our children have been studying here and I feel that the decision we made was not wrong.
Most often the parents are carried away by the beautiful campuses of the various schools, although it is important, the other factors are to be given more importance. I had a detailed study of the track record of this school in academics and other co-curricular activities. What really impressed us was the approach of the staff and the principal towards the parents. They made us feel very comfortable in our very first meeting, thus inferring that their approach towards the students would be the same.
We see a drastic change in our children now. The teachers involve them in all the activities and they are kept busy which makes them alert helping them in their academics and co curricular activities. This has been proved by the performance of the students in the public exams and other inter school competitions. The principal is aware of the strengths and weaknesses of every student which is important for the close monitoring and the all round development of the child.
Activities like sports, games, debates, dramatics, etc… which were called extra curricular activities earlier, now form a part of the curriculum and are called co-curricular activities enabling the all round development of the child. This is well taken care of at St. Jude's. However, having regular organized games apart from the competitions will be a welcome change for the students helping every student to involve themselves in such activities.
With a little facelift of the campus and with the help of God and the able guidance of the Chairman and the Principal, St. Jude's will be one of the best schools in Tamil Nadu. It will go on to become one of the best public schools helping in the total development of the child inculcating high moral values and imprinting in the hearts of students a love for their ALMA MATER.

A s a parent, I take pride to mention that my children, Roshna Sara George and George K George as Judians have incorporated a lot of values attained from this school.

A school that was started with just a few students in 1979 has grown to become one of the most reputed school in the Nilgiris. St. Jude's Public School & Junior College is now among the top schools excelling in academics, IT, sports and all other extra - curricular activities.
I have known the Chairman, Mr. P.P. Dhanarajan and the principal, Mrs. Saro Dhanarajan from the time I was in the Vth standard. Dhanarajan sir is a very affectionate and mild person who loves to be in the company of children. He has worked very hard with great determination and has taken great pains to see the school grow to this height.Mrs. Dhanarajan, fondly known as Saro Ma'am, is a good teacher and an able administrator. She is a person who is with you not only in times of joy but also in times of sorrow. She is loving and approachable but chides when needed, just to make sure that you are in the right path. Even though I was not a student of St. Jude's, Saro mam had taught me Chemistry and Maths from 5th std to 10th std when she was a teacher at Breeks Higher Secondary School, Ooty.
St. Jude's Public School had its inception at Ooty and then shifted to Kotagiri and is now located in a beautiful location. The facilities provided to the children are of a good standard. The fee structure, when compared to the boarding schools in the Nilgiris is reasonable. The school follows the ICSC and the ISC syllabus. The Principal and teachers take great effort to see that the students of this school are “THE BEST.” They take special care of the weak students and provide extra coaching to bring them up to the expected standard. St. Jude's moulds every child to be God fearing, Self-reliant and self confident apart from inculcating traditional values, so that they become fine citizens.
Now, there are more than 1000 students from all over India and across the globe who flock here for quality education. Despite the number, I am delighted to see that the high standard is still maintained.
As a parent, I take pride to mention that my children, Roshna Sara George and George K George as Judians have incorporated a lot of values attained from this school.
