Growing demand for admissions in girls' schools had led to St Anthony's Girls' High School in Chembur to add an extension to their existing building. The school is also planning to start a junior college.
For both plans, the school is asking their alumni for funds. Some of the renowned alumni of the school are actresses Vidya Balan, Shilpa Shetty and Shraddha Das. The school has planned events such as Alumni meet, minithons, a school fete called Anthonian Ensemble, which provides a platform for the school's budding artists, sportspersons, entrepreneurs and others.
Philomena Joseph, senior teacher and core committee member of the school, said, "We are not able to accommodate all the children in the present building. The classrooms are also getting crowded, making the children uncomfortable. The school premises is almost 86-years-old. Some parts of the structure are pretty weak despite several renovations. We would like to provide more services like full-fledged hobby classes. Every child will get special training in music and art."
Echoing Joseph's sentiments, another senior teacher and core committee member, Pamela Zaccheus, said, "The plan of the school is to come up with a new structure where all students will be shifted and the old buildings will be pulled down in phases. Some classrooms are used by the kindergarten and the Class V students too so the benches have also become little uncomfortable for students. We want to build separate structures for pre-primary, primary and secondary sections. Right now, classes are divided into different time slots. The plan is to run all sections in a single time slot."
The school's headmistress, Sister Monica Raibole, said, "Our school is the oldest educational institution in Chembur. We endeavour to provide quality education to empower the girl child. However, we are unable to substantially achieve our target due to growing demand and the need for spacious classes. Hence, we are undertaking the extension project."
