History

The school began in a rented building with thirty-three students in 1980. The next year the number of students swelled to more than 300. By 1995, the school was able to build its own school building in Saraswati Nagar. [4]

The school consists of two administrative and academic units: St. Anne's School at Saraswati Nagar has 4000 students; St. Anne's Prep School in Rajeev Nagar, less than a kilometer away, has 1200 students. Saraswati Nagar and Rajeev Nagar are on the outskirts of the expanding city of Jodhpur. The two campuses have trees and large lawns. [4]

St. Anne’s Senior Higher Secondary School was founded in the summer of 1980. In the first session of the School, there were 62 students. The school now has nearly 4000 students. From 1980 to 1996, the school was housed in Jhalamand House, Ratanada, a hired building, and moved to its present location, Saraswati Nagar, near New Pali Road, in 1996. The Junior Section of St. Anne’s School has been in its present location, in Rajeev Nagar, a kilometer away from the Senior School, since 2001.

The first batch of XII class students passed out under the aegis of the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education in 1992. Since 1998, St. Anne’s School has been affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education. Till 2002, the school had one section of Science and one of Arts at the Higher Secondary Level. The school now has two sections of Science, two sections of Commerce, and one section of Arts at the Higher Secondary Level.

St. Anne’s School has two Mathematics Laboratories, one for the Juniors and one for the Seniors, in 2005.

Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are a part of a student's time in the school. There are child craft exhibitions, science exhibitions, quiz contests, English and Hindi debates, recitation contests, fêtes, sports festivals and Annual Day Celebrations. [4]

School prayer

This is my prayer to Thee, My Lord - Strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to Thy will with love.

Uniform

Monday to Friday the uniform is fawn and brown. On Saturday, the uniform is T-shirt and white skirts or trousers. In winter, the students wear brown blazers, sweaters and ties. There will be a change in the winter uniform for the session 2012-2013.
