Greetings to one and all!
St. Anne's School began quietly and modestly in June, 1976
with 110 tiny tots.
The seed sown 40 years ago has now become a mighty oak, a
full-fledged school educating and nurturing nearly 3000 children, both in the English & Marathi
medium School which aim at providing academic, physical, moral, social & spiritual formation to
all our students so as to make them good citizens of society, nation and the world at large. As
we reflect on the past, we feel guided, inspired, encouraged and fortunate to have been blessed
with very generous benefactors.
Our school building is now 40 years old and there is
evidence of structural stress. In the recent past, huge amounts have been spent on repair work.
After consulting architects, civil and structural engineers, the School Management, it has
decided to demolish two of the old school wings and construct 2 new wings. Out of this one
wing is ready and will be operational from June 2024 onwards. The construction of the second
wing, will begin during the course of the year.
It is a five storied structure, with 60 spacious & state of the art Class Rooms (equipped with
ICT boards as well), Library, large Auditorium, Audio-Visual room, Staffroom, Activity rooms,
Sports room, Prayer room, Infirmary room, Administration Office, Principal's Chamber, School
Officer lnformation & Technology room, Wash rooms etc. These modern amenities will not only
cater to the multi-faceted educational needs of our students but will
also help in their holistic development.
The actual cost for the same is now estimated to be much higher than the earlier estimated cost
of Rs. 35 - 40 crores. With Covid hitting us the contruction work which had just commenced pre
Covid time had to be halted. The materials and labour costs also sky rocketed post Covid.
Therefore, this additional financial burden.
We all know how unique an educational experience St. Anne's has provided to you. If
we want to be good stewards, we need to give back and support St.Anne's School.
Hence, I make a sincere appeal to all ex-students who have been associated with our school over
the years to contribute generously. Looking forward to your most valuable co-operation which will
be highly appreciated and duly acknowledged.

Dear Sir / Madam,
DONATION FOR SCHOOL BUILDING
St. Anne's Girls High School, Borivali was established in 1976 with a primary focus of educating
and nurturing girls in and around the area.
In these 40 years we have successfully educated and given life lines to around nine thousand
girls. Many of the St.Anne's Alumni are well placed and holding prestigious positions in various
sectors of industry in India and abroad, for which we are proud of.
The school building is now 40 years old and is showing signs of structural weakness and is beyond
repair. Now the time has come to rebuild the school to retain the glory of St. Anne's School for
the future generations. The school management has decided to construct a new school building with
modern amenities to cater to today's multi-faceted educational needs and provide quality and
holistic education.
We are having Pre-primary, Primary and Secondary sections in both Marathi and English mediums in
our school. The estimated cost of constructing a new school building is more than the reserve
funds we have.
We make a humble appeal to you for generous donation from your esteemed organization for funds for
the new school building.
Your valuable contribution can be made by any mode of payment and we will be glad to accept them
with sincere gratitude.
