view Reetuparna's YS report
My name is Ms. Reetuparna Ganguly. I have done M.Sc and B.Ed from Mumbai University. I have also stayed and studied in Kolkatta and Bangalore.

I have worked in a day school in Mumbai for five years before joining St. Peter’s School in June 2007. I have taught various age groups and different subjects. In St. Peter’s School, I am teaching Environmental Science for classes 8,9 and 10. I have done 14 eco-camps till now with the Peterites.

I started liking nature from my childhood as for holidays my parents always used to plan for a vacation in the forests to admire nature and wildlife.

I love teaching that is imparting knowledge to the future generations and also be a co-learner. Everyday I learn new things while teaching or interacting with these boys.

There are many differences when we teach in a day school and a residential school. When there were floods in Mumbai , I had to stay with the students the whole night in the school. I realized that time that we the teachers have more responsibilities other than teaching as the students rely a lot on us. In St. Peter’s School, I feel nice when the boys come up to me with their problems and think I am like their mother.

My objective is to make my students a better citizen for tomorrow in all the ways.

My personal view is there is an urgent need to conserve nature and stop the climate change.
My hobbies are singing, listening to music, reading books, glass painting , nib painting and traveling to different places.

My name is Ingrid Fernandes with a B.Sc, B.Ed attached behind my name. I impart knowledge in Chemistry and Biology to the children in the middle school of St. Peter’s School.

Next to only the parent, the teacher is the second most powerful influence on the mind and character of a child. Realizing this, I took this vocation of being a teacher as a challenge to play that pivotal role in the lives of the sons of tomorrow. And what a challenge it has been.

Since 1990, I have had the privilege of teaching girls and boys in residential school. This has given me that precious opportunity in not just building children academically, but more so emotionally and spiritually.

Bringing comfort when in fear, encouraging them in defeat, building them in the pursuit of moral values and excellence. What greater purpose one can possibly look for than to have the clay of tomorrow’s world right in your hand today?

I share their games, guide their performances on stage and off it and return to them the next day with the hope that my efforts today will surely play a crucial part in shaping tomorrow.
My single objective is in being a blessing to others. In order to achieve this I am always open to learning new things. Ever open to go the extra mile in imparting value to the next generation.

Cooking, interacting with children, listening to Christian music , Planning and organizing events are some of my interest.
