History

Holy Child Auxilium School R.K. Puram Sector XII was established on 15 July 1970. It is run by the Salesian Sisters Society of Northern India.

The founders of the school were Sr. Cleofe Fassa, Sr. Luigina Miorelli and Sr. Clara Martin. At its founding, the school had just 24 pupils. It was necessary to shift the primary to another area to start the Senior Secondary School. The Primary school was segregated and moved to Vasant Vihar in 1983. In 1990 the primary school was reallocated to R.K. Puram and the High School was shifted to Vasant Vihar.

In 2011, the school celebrated its ruby jubilee, where the guests of honor were the Archbishop of Delhi and alumna and politician Smriti Irani.
