TAFS MIRROR "To develop our students into responsible,

harmonious and integrated

individuals through ever evolving

curricular and co-curricular activities."

From Principal’s Desk

It gives me great pleasure as the principal of The Air Force School, in extending to all our students, faculty and staff, and our greater school community a warm welcome .To my mind an educational institute is not just about bricks, mor-tar and concrete, but about building character, enriching

minds and about varied experiences that lasts a lifetime.

TAFS is a school rich in a tradition of excellence. Throughout its fifty plus years of ser-vice to the community, TAFS has consistently met and exceeded the educational needs

of a diverse student populace.

As a principal, I can assure you that our school will continue to avail all the resources needed to further the cause for even greater student achievement. Offering our students the latest in curriculum enhancements in a safe and state of the art learning environ-

ment will continue to serve as our primary focus throughout their school years.
