  • I studied in this school and did my tech ( Junior Engg. Diploma ) in the year 1968. Yes it is one of the best schools in the region where the overall development and leadership qualities are inculcated. Today I hold the post of Deputy Director in the MOP organisation National Power Training Institute located at present at Nagpur and I owe it all the untiring efforts of the Christian Brothers wh moulkded me.
  • I studied as boarder in St. Vincent`s during the period 1971-1980. Grew up from a small boy to a teenage with Christian Brothers. Sense of descipline and maturity were inculcated. Most importantly, I learnt my english language in the conducive surrounding of this school. There had been almost 18 football playing fields where seasonal games were played. A large auditorium having provisions for almost all indoor games and small movie screening were housed for the recreational purpose. Then, there was Late Mr.Coleridge. Our most beloved bullshiter. Mr.Mathew & Mr.Bhattu were our everyday companion. I owe my success in life to whatever I inherited during my stay (for 10 yrs. as boarder)in the school. Let the Light of Love keep going strong.

  • Completed my primary education from here in 1999, had a desire to continue my education here but could not as there were no more classes. Had the best days of my childhood spent in this campus. was always proud to be associated with St. Vincents, the teachers were really cooperative and the school environment was ideal for education.

The teachers , principals, friends,Annual sports,football tournament,swimming pool, The tech side ,The Nature everything is Amazinggggggg.
  • Now I in class X, these past ten years I have wittnessed a immense cordiall relationship between the respected teachers and students, which is not at all different from the friend's relationship. It has been a heaven which I visited in yesteryears. Teachers like Mrs. Manju Chatterjee, Mrs. Sanchita Basu, Mr. Virgil D Souza, Mr. Dornwill Codell, Mr. A Andrew, Mr.Pope, Mrs. Dola Lahiri are the pathfinders of our student life. They have been like angels beside us in the long journey of our education.

  • Correction: 1958-1970
  • Since my graduation in December 1960,I have often dreamed and wondered what ever became of St. Vincent's. To my deep regret, I had lost touch with the very epicenter of my education in India. My memories of the school and its teachers (notably the Aussie Christian Brothers, Bro. Harrison and Whiting) and my many school chums are vivid, even today. I carry the imprint of my education and my school in the depths of my being. I am so pleased, indeed thrilled beyond measure, to see St. Vincent's standing proud and tall these many years since I last passed through its hallowed portals. My travels have taken me far afield and perhaps with my other preoccupations I have had little time to think of my old school. But, honestly, each time I stand on the threshold of something new or bold and exciting I give thanks to God for giving me a wonderful education and still more wonderful role models. To St. Vincent's and its teachers (Bros. Hayes and Harrison, Beneedict and Gomes, Mr. Bremner and Mr. Lloyd to name a few) I must express my deep gratitude and offer thanks so many years later. To the new Principal, Mr. Matthews, I offer my heartfelt congratulations and support. I will be in touch with the Alumni Association immediately.
  • I studied in this great institution from 1987-1994.
  • If there was heaven on earth it was St.Vincents School.The Christian Brothers were out of this world.Those who have not studied under the Christian Brothers have missed a lifetime.No one can teach better than then except Christ.I would love to get some information on Br.C.J.Harrison and Br.R.A.parton.
  • I passed my ICSE in 1980 and have very fresh memories of our St. Vincent's. It has put a very credible impact on my life. I am based in London and would like my batch mates to contact me on raj@pairsshop.co.uk.

  • Today the 18th November, 2008 is indeed a sad day. The greatest Christian Brother that ever taught at this great institution and many others that form the CB fold in India & Australia Br. C J Harrison passed away in Goa, India. Farewell CJH and thanks for all the great times and the inspiration that you were to so many.
  • Student in SVTS from 1975-1986.WOW can only be my ultimate tribute to my school.This school has given me so much in life in terms of conducting myself in day to day affairs.I wish to send my heartfelt thanks to all my teachers in SVTS(Miss Paula Ghosh,Mr Dragwidge,Br Folly,Br Parton,Mr Matthew,Late Mr Claridge(may God bless his soul),last but not the least our P.T.teacher Mr Singh(good Mooooooooooring sir,ha ha),Br Mcann, Machan chacha to all of us.I am married now and in Delhi and I tell my son that my school had 18 play grounds,he refuses to believe me,I don't blame him as I only know what an awesome institution my school was,I can't write more as I am on verge of tears.My special tribute to Miss Paula Ghosh,one of the most beautiful and lovely teachers if ever there was one.
  • Well I've been longing to share my feelings about my school days in my beloved St. Vincent's. I had started my schooling as a boarder in 1966 in 'KG-B' & my teacher was Mrs.Bartholomew.Thereafter over the years I was taught by Mrs. Osta - 1B, Mrs. Vaz. - 2B, Mrs. Kilroy - 3B, Mrs. Gaynor - 4B, Mrs. Roach - 5B, Mr. Bremmner - 6B, Mrs. Iris - 7B, Mr. Roy - 8B, Bro. Whiting - 9B & 10B, completing my ICSE in December 1976. I was privileged to be granted admission as the only boarder for the 11th. & 12th. Commerce stream.
  • Well, it is really nice to get back to this page to express my gratitude to all the Christian Brothers, the teachers and also all the boardsers and day scholors who knew me and attended St. Vincent's between 1966 to 1979 (KG to 12th). I must not forget the other staff who guided and groomed me to be what I am today. Some of the wonderful people are the Matrons Mrs. Grace Manion, Mrs.Lincoln, the junior hostel superintendant Mr. Claridge, In-charge of the hospital Mr. & Mrs. Facey, In-charge of the food dept. Mrs. Ezmie Rickson. Music Teachers Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Sequeira & Bro. Harrison,the subject teachers Mr. Ghosh (Bengali), Mr. Matthew (Physics), Mr. Bhattacharya (Chemistry), Mr. Sengupta, MY VERY SPECIAL Mrs. Paula Ghosh (English) , Mrs. Wadhavan(Indian Economics), Mrs. Rajni Bhandary (Geography),The ayahs in the primary one of whom I remember Mary Ekka, the other two I've forgotten their names. The refectory and hospital bearers Stephen, Elian, John, Gabriel (one bearers name is forgotten). All those who remember me can please write in to < rawzdcruz@falconoffshore.net > I must say if there was any place considered heaven on earth it was ST. Vincent's. The teaching by the Christian brothers and the lay teachers and all who supported them were the best and second to none. I'm sure all those who studied in SVTS will be nodding in agreement as they read this. I pray that all those who taught me and all those I was associated with during my scool days be abundantly blessed by the 'ALMIGHTY". Thank You CB's, Teachers and all.

  • I left school in 1961 unexpectedly in the 8th standard to join my brother in England.Although to my regret that I was unable to finish my education I have had a very successful career. This ofcourse was due to the good schooling I received at STVS. The teachers that I have most to thank are BR Ciril Harrision and BR Peter Gomes, both I understand are enjoying there retirement. Friends I remember are Billy Levers, Peter Laing, Butch Conners,and Geof Smith.

  • Joined SVTS in LKG in Jan 1957 and left in April 1965 when I was in std 8th. A few of my classmates and contemporaries whom I remember are Mantosh Bhadrish, Visesh Bhadrish, Hari Narayan Prasad, Debesh Banerjee, Roy Roach, Ravinder Singh, Devinder Singh, Avtar Singh, Ajit Mallick, Gowtam Ghosh, Saha brothers (Debrata and Subrata), Mohan Krishnamurthy, Kuruvilla (his dad was with State Bank)... Anyone from that period? Would love to get in touch. From SVTS went to Bishop Westcott Boys' School, Ranchi, and then did my graduation from Hindu College, Delhi. I now reside in Chennai (Madras).
  • I am Indrajit Chakraverty, I was a boarder at SVHTS from 1961 and left in 1967 before graduation. I can recollect all the names that you mentioned but can recollect the faces of the Kuruvilla brothers, Saha brothers Subrata is stil my friend, Ajit Mallick was a day scholar but stayed back for games with the boarders. I remember you as a day scholar and you had mentioned that you were in some way related to the acctress Nutan. Am I right?
