STANDARD X FAREWELL

At 12.30 pm we had the farewell for the X standard students of the school. Most of them were dressed up like gentlemen with their suits and looked smart.

It was a short but sweet program put up by the IX standard students wishing their bigger brother farewell. There were a couple of songs, dances and some speeches.

Fr. Rector wished them well and all the best in the new life and told them to keep in mind all the values they learned in school and not to be pressured by their peers into vices that will be detrimental to their growth. He told them that they could always come back at any moment when they are down and out and seek the help and guidance of their teachers or the Salesians.

The IX standard boys put up a skit that brought out a very strong and powerful message of how mothers and family are sometimes working very hard to help educate them. They need to appreciate all the sacrifices that are made by other family members.

Fr. Crispino spoke about the 3 Ps: Patience, Passion & Prayer and said that these were very important for their life and living and if they wanted to achieve anything in life.

There was a dance put up once again by the IX standard youngsters and it was very well done and all in sync.

We wish all our dear X standard students all the best for their coming examinations and for the new life they will soon embrace.

God bless to one and all

ADHYAYAN FOLLOW-UP

This morning Ms Kavita from the Adhyayan Quality Defined Team came for a follow up to St. Dominic Savio's High School. The students and the teachers were to prepare and keep ready their displays and projects in the class rooms and on the display notice boards.

The students did a fantastic job of their displays with the guidance and help from their respective teachers.

You could judge it for yourselves and see the beautiful work done by the students.

We congratulate the teachers and the students for this beautiful project and we hope it will continue to bring more colour and beauty to the school.

SCHOOL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

A School Exchange programme between St. Dominic Savio High School and The Young Indians’ School was held on 4th February 2013 at The Young Indians’ School and was attended by 29 students and two teachers from each school.

The programme was initiated with a meditation session where the children were asked to close their eyes and relax for a few minutes.

An ice –breaker game was held wherein each child had to come to the centre and say his/her name and mime/act his or her hobby. A discussion followed where in the students were asked what they learnt from the previous two programmes. Each child expressed their views and their feedback of the necessity of School Exchange Programmes and how meaningful it is to them.

Most of the students felt that this programme had a positive effect in their lives as they learnt to reach out to others. The students interacted through games and exchange of words through songs and a meaningful rapport took place.

In our next plan of action between the two schools, a tournament like Cricket and Kho-Kho will be conducted by the 2 schools animated by the teachers of the two schools and the community staff of Don Bosco Balprafulta. This will enable the children to know each other better so that their rapport with each other grows. (4 photos)
