History |
|
In
1599, in the 'Udayamperoor Soonahados', it was proclaimed,
to have one school in each Parish and admissions were to
be given to everyone irrespective of their caste and
creed. According to the directions of the Synod, St
Francis Xavier's Parish, Eramalloor decided to start a
school in the west avenue of the old church. At the
initial stages the students were taught to read and write
and fractions like 'kal', 'arakkani', 'mahani' and
'mundani' were taught in mathematics. After attaining this
basic knowledge, they were trained in workmanship and earn
their livelihood
The seeds of thought for a
modern primary school was planted during the service of
Fr. Antonio Mendez. Thereafter, in 1917 a committee was
formed to start the work for a new school. The school was
built and inaugurated on May 21, 1917. The first primary
classes were completed in 1920 and standard V was
initiated in 1930. The first Headmaster was Sri. Narayana
Panicker and the first teacher to be appointed was Sri.
Sivarama Kaimal.
The school paved the way for a
new thought and culture revolution. In those days, caste
system prevailed and the lower castes were not permitted
to attend the School, but with the beginning of the St.
Francis Xavier Primary school, the gate of education was
opened to each and everyone irrespective of caste and
creed, thus bringing a social change in the society.
The
school owes a lot to the dedication and hard work of many
headmasters and well wishers. The tiny tree which was
planted decades ago has grown into a tree with more than
325 students from standard I to V with a staff strength of
12 teachers.
The school has 12 class rooms and an
Office situated in two separate buildings which are
totally electrified with every room having a fan and
light. Each class room is furnished with baby chairs,
benches and desks. Moving with the changing times, the
infrastructure of the school is regularly maintained to
give a better ambience for the students to develop their
potential. Hence the School is equipped with Computers,
LCD projector and CD Library. Besides this, a Library is
also maintained to develop the reading habits of the
students and teachers. The school also has a play ground
for physical activities. The students have put up a
beautiful garden along with some herbal collections. The
school provides proper drinking water and sanitation
facilities to the students. A new Block constructed at St
Francis Xavier's LPS, Eramalloor, was blessed by Rev. Dr.
Francis Kurisinkal, General Manager of the school.
The
school maintains an effective physical training programme
which also includes 'kalaripayattu' To bring in a social
sense among the students, organizations like clubs and
bull bulls are established.
The centenary
celebrations were held during 2017 February 23rd to 25th .
