Hail the name sacred Heart
Our dear school the home of love.
Here we learn to care and share
From darkness to light the motto we bear.
Fast and forward move we on
With sweet memories of days by gone
In unison we carol like the morning lark.
Hail to Thee O ! Sacred Heart [2]
Sacred Heart the school we cherish.
Wisdom and knowledge you nourish.
May the Lord His blessing send,
on staff and student without end.

Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,
Greeting!
I am Fr. Augustine Topno. Today, on July 15, 2020 I am joining the office of the Principal in Sacred
Heart School, Adra. During the past years, I had offered my services in a similar capacity in St.
Joseph’s School, Anandpur, in St. Xavier’s School, Purulia and in Loyola School, Kumardhubi. Today
as I join the Principal’s office, I am glad to be a part of this renowned institute of Education. It
is eight months since the first outbreak of COVID-19. Its global spread has totally traumatized the
entire humanity. Our social, political, economic and religious systems are on hold for unpredictable
time.
