“Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake” – Rabindranath Tagore
With pride in our hearts, we saluted our country on the wake of its 70th Independence.
At 8.00am on this auspicious morning, the staff and students of Std. VIII assembled in the premises of Divine Child High School & Junior College and commenced the ceremony of hailing our country India. Our Vice-Principal, Supervisor, members of the staff and students warmly welcomed our Chief Guests Mr. & Mrs. Shetty & Mr. & Mrs. Kadam, the parents of our SSC toppers for the year 2015-16.
To commemorate the sovereignty of our nation, the Chief Guests unfurled the tricolor flag and all present there, stood in attention, singing the National Anthem in unison. Mrs. Shetty & Mrs. Kadam shared their views on the significance of the day. The senior students enthralled everyone with their well spoken speeches in Hindi, Marathi & English. The students sang Patriotic songs to our motherland. The Programme concluded with the Vote of thanks by our Vice-Principal Sr. Olivia.
Indeed, it was a day of joy, a day to love and respect for our country where all Indians enjoy the freedom, peace and unity in our diversity.
Jai Hind
