We are extremely glad that the Diocese and the Church have taken keen interest and support in the re-building process.On 24th of Feb, 2014 the school celebrated on the occasion of its affiliation with CBSE New Delhi.

It will be unfair on my part if i do not mention two names, in connection with NOC. First Rev.Dr.P.K.Kuruvilla, who has initiated the process and made a number of journeys to different places both during day and night. Secondly, Very Rev Jacob.P.Smuel, who inspite of his difficulty of long journeys to Thiruvanthapuram and Eranakulam for the purpose of getting NOC. I thank both Achens, for their sincere and selfless services. Rev. Chandy Jose has been involved in all most all important occassions of our school and we are really thankful to Achen for his timely advice and guidance.
Our bursar Mr.Cheriyan C Abraham has serving the institutiuon for the last 12 years and appointed to the present post as Bursar in 2006. He has done an excellent job for the school and sad to to see that he is leaving the school by the end of this academic session. I whole heartedly express my deep gratitude to Mr.Cheriyan C Abraham for all what he has done for the betterment of this institution and i personally wish him a very peaceful and comfortable retired life.
The church committee members have given their whole hearted support in the running of the school. The members of the Church have been extending their moral and financial support to the school and it will be inappropriate if a do not thank them on this occassion.
With proud feeling and great respect, I submit the school report to the members of Christ Church, Kodukulanji.
