Ms. Rekha Vinod
PRINCIPAL - Presidency School, RT Nagar

As a teacher/Mentor/Facilitator /Principal for the past three decades of my commitments, I have looked forward to adapting to the changes as per the evolving times. The need for transformational teaching/learning has begun as a new approach and I wish to give the best to bring in the best from every child. Smart students of this generation require student centric learning which connects them to practical experiences and actively engages them within and outside schools.
PGI Management and PSRTN family have always envisaged on an all round and balanced education based on sound intellectual, physical, moral and social development. Even as we impart education to match the advancement in technology and globalization, we lead our children ahead with ethos of moral values and principles. We endeavor constantly to instill these qualities in our students.

Warm Regards,
