100% RESULTS!

Kudos to these students of St. Xavier’s Higher Secondary, Old Goa, a special higher secondary project of Caritas Goa. It is one of the five institutes in Goa that scored hundred percent results declared by the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education. Despite disabilities four students (hearing impaired), two (intellectual disability), one (cerebral palsy) secured hundred percent results with one distinction and six first class in the arts stream. Students are (standing) Floyd Fernandes, Monika D’Mello, Shibani Sharma, Bhagyashree Gauder, Pradeep Rajput, (sitting) Amandeep Chopra, Sr Monica Coelho, Ms Maria and Navdeep Pavane. Expressing his gratitude to all the efforts put in by principal and staff, Fr Maverick Fernandes of Caritas observes that a society must recognize that disability is not inability and therefore equity in opportunities is essential for a society to be just.
