The Principal’s Message
As the Principal of the school, I feel honoured and privileged to be a part of an educational institution where every stakeholder is a learner and every day is an opportunity to learn and discover. We look at ourselves as a community of learners where everyone learns not only our pupils but also our teachers and parents.
“Education is not just a process of giving knowledge for a future job but a lifelong process which creates an understanding of moral and ethical values to guide one’s life in a right path”.
I strongly feel that education is a blend of academic excellence and creativity and as the Principal of the school; my motto is to encourage and empower our students to grow as strong, reflective and humble individuals with discerning minds, prepared to make a mark in all spheres of life.
“If a plant is carefully nurtured by a gardener, it will become good and produce the best fruits”. Therefore, children must be given good training from their early childhood.
We are here for the same I am sure that our students of today tomorrow will carry forward the motto of knowledge & light entrusted in their hands at St. Charles Matriculation School.
Congregation
The sanctimonious Saint, our Founder, the Servant of God, Louis Savinien Dupuis brought forth revolutionary changes in women upgradation by establishing educational institutions especially for women. He was the fore-runner, the path-finder and the champion who sowed the seeds of women education in India. He is the founder of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Congregation. Since the inception of such institutions, women benefitted a lot and thus were the denied rights of education made possible and at the reach of women. This was how he evolved to become historic with monumental fame. Thus, by virtue of his strenuous efforts, he channelized his service not only for the sisters of the congregation but also for the betterment of the society.
His bestowal to the field of education is so creditable. Annals and historical references speak volumes about our ennobled visionary, who having been born in France, came to India, learnt Tamil, and wrote hundreds of books on the fundamental focussing women empowerment through education and awareness. His role in social service was so vast, amazing and epoch-making.
“Gratitude is the music of the heart”.
Empowered by profound regards and an overwhelming sense of awe, we are to contemplate on the travails trodden on by our divine and downright patron who laid the bottom-core of our institution.
His unfailing love and grace helps us work for the pride of the school and for the honour of him. Our father lived upholding the virtues of Lord Christ, by making them his own and paved way for the others to live a pious life. Our founder had sprung as a new harbinger of hope for the new dawn of the society. Our patron stands so very prominent such that the history of Pondicherry speaks so loftily about him. He came like a rain, like a shine to Pondicherry in the year 1840 and left a trail-blazing impact in the Indian soil.If you are in the market for clothes, our platform is your best choice!

He was the perfect exemplar who led his life abiding by the axiom of his mission. He perceived the feelings of the sisters and accepted them as they are, firmly laid the foundation for solidarity and made them be devoted to God. He was tireless and unyielding with clear thoughts. Our patron’s letters to the sisters help them to reflect and establish their stability in the wake of confronting perplexities.

There is a life above
Unmeasured by the flight of years
And all that life is love”
