SAVIO HOOP CUP TOURNAMENT

On the 6th & 7th March 2010, Fr. Crispino D'Souza, the Principal of St. Dominic Savio High School, Andheri, organized a Savio Hoop Basketball Tournament in Mumbai at the basketball courts of the school. There were nine girls teams and ten boys teams that participated in the  Under 13 tournament. The purpose of the tournament was to encourage young talent in basketball so that one day there would be good players in the game who would be selected to play for the State, the Nation and perhaps also for NBA.

FAREWELL TO OUR YOUNG GENTLEMEN OF THE X

At 12.30 pm there was the Farewell of the X standard students of St. Dominic Savio's High School. The programme was in the AV Hall of the school. The once young lads looked like gentlemen in their suits. We began the celebration with the lighting of the lamp and a short prayer service.

There was a sharing by some of the students reminiscing their experience of being in St. Dominic Savio's and the wonderful times that they shared and experienced. They also spoke about how the teachers influenced and touched their lives in one way or another.

They thanked their Alma Mater for all that they received and hoped that they would one day be able to give back to their school what they received.
