PRIMARY GRADUATION DAY FOR IV STANDARD

On Saturday, 24th March 2012, the Primary School had their Graduation Day for the IV standard students. It was wonderful to see all the youngsters dressed up in their formal Graduation outfits, looking smart and handsome.

It certainly was a Red Letter Day in the Annals of the history of St. Dominic Savio, as this was the first time that we were having a Graduation Celebration in the Primary Section.


It was mainly due to the thinking, planning and execution by the Supervisor, Mrs. Maria Xavier and her Primary Staff who pitched in to make it a grand success.

Fr. Rector, Fr. Principal and Mrs. Maria Xavier gave away the certificates to the youngsters as they came up to the stage.

FINAL PTA MEETING

On Saturday the 17th March the PTA had its final meeting of the year. The Secondary PTA representatives met at 8.30 am while the Primary PTA representatives met at 11.30 am.

Fr. Rector welcomed the gathering and then had a short PPt on Parenting - Helpful tips that was very much appreciated by one and all.

The agenda taken up were the Accounts of the Christmas Fete, the Annual Day program and points for consideration that came up from the parents.

Fr. Crispino informed the Secondary members that there would be coaching classes for those who would be going to the X standard. The coaching classes would be conducted during the month of April.

He also informed the parents that according to the regulations, no boy will be kept back in class but if they have fared badly, they would have remedial classes and would have to attempt and attempt till they cleared the subject.

There were a number of useful suggestions that came up from the parents regards, work sheets, slow learners, children with Learning Disabilities etc.

The meeting was indeed fruitful and there was a nice exchange between the PTA, the staff and the management.
