Dear Students, Parents, Teachers, Alumni, and Well-wishers,
“Make today and tomorrow so awesome that you make yesterday jealous.”
It is with great joy that we welcome you to Bethany Convent School, Jharmunda, Bolangir. As Principal, it is both a privilege and a pleasure to extend a warm greeting to all students, staff, and visitors to our school’s portal.
At Bethany Convent School, education is a joyful journey filled with wonder, curiosity, and the development of life skills essential for success. Inspired by the vision of our founder, Servant of God RFC Mascarenhas—a saintly member of the Bethany Educational Society, Mangalore—we continue to strive for excellence in education that is not only contemporary in approach but also grounded in the ideals and rich cultural heritage of our nation.
Each day is a fresh canvas. While yesterday is set—painted with our decisions and reflections—today holds the brush. It is our opportunity to shape a vibrant and meaningful masterpiece. The more we learn, the more we realize there is so much we do not know. The more we grow, the more we discover the vastness of what remains. True education lies in recognizing and accepting our limitations and those of others, with humility and grace. That acceptance is the true mark of learning.
Bethany Convent School is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and respectful learning environment. Our goal is to cultivate students who are not only academically accomplished but also emotionally intelligent and socially responsible.
Don’t give up on your dreams; chase them instead;
You will find, one morning, as you wake up from bed,
That you are the person about whom you dreamed,
And you can reach great heights, impossible though it seemed.
When things go wrong and your back is to the wall,
Try to stand up; no more can you fall.
Life is full of ups and downs; take them in your stride.
Let these words guide your aspirations for this academic year. At Bethany, we offer every child a platform to grow in character and capability. We encourage values such as integrity, compassion, truthfulness, civic responsibility, passion for one’s pursuits, and resilience in the face of challenges. We believe every Bethanite is called to set a standard for others to follow.
As we step into the academic year 2025–2026, let us commit to positive transformation—from negativity to optimism, from stagnation to growth. Let us place our worries in the hands of the Almighty, trusting His promise:
“Those who hope in the Lord shall renew their strength. They will fly on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”
May this year bring health, safety, and fulfilment to our students, staff, parents, and supporters.
We are grateful for your interest in Bethany Convent School. We hope that our website will provide you with helpful information and serve as a strong link between our school and the wider community. It is designed to keep you updated and connected.
Finally, to all our young Bethanites—focus on your cherished dreams. Work with determination, rising above mediocrity and procrastination. As our founder Fr. RFC Mascarenhas wisely said:
“Do well whatever you do. Do it for God and God alone. Then your life will be a continuous song of praise.”
God bless you
Sr. Manjula
