Elders Day

Elders Day

The campus of Divine Child High School & Junior College bore a happy and excited look on Tuesday 1st October because the children were thrilled to have their grandparents come to school on the occasion of Elders Day.

The students prepared well to entertain the Elders with songs, dances, action songs, spot prizes, etc. On behalf of all students, one of them gave a speech of appreciation for the grandparents. Principal Sr. Olivia also greeted the Elders and respected and appreciated their contribution in being part of the children’s lives.

At the close of the programme, the Elders were given snacks and a small token of love.

Parents Day

Parents Day

Parents – You are our lifeline…
On Friday 26th July, the students of Divine Child conveyed just this message to them at the vibrant and enthusiastic performances they put up specially for them.

This day is the feast of Ss. Joaquim & Ann, the parents of our Blessed Mother Mary. They are honoured for being exemplary parents who raised their daughter to be pure and loving – a true child of God. And so, this day is celebrated as a feast of parents, in honour of them, to express our love for all that they do.

CANTEEN DAYS

CANTEEN DAYS

It’s all about food… and compassion!
The saying – ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’ rings true!

And the school inculcates, in the students, this virtue of compassion for the needy. Canteen Day is a unique way of generating funds for under-privileged students of the school. This monthly way of reaching out is fun and foody! Though it means a lot of work, it fosters bonding among students, teachers and helpers.

In the first semester we had Canteen Days…
In July – Std. X served chatpata ‘Chana Chaat’.
In August – Std. IX served lip-smacking ‘Pav Bhaji’.
In September – Std. V served yummy ‘Veg Noodles’.

READING DAY

READING DAY

The birth anniversary of our former President, Dr. A.P.J Kalam was celebrated today Tuesday 15th October in our school. In remembrance of our world famous ‘Missile Man of India’, we celebrate today as Reading Day to honour him and inspire the young generation to make reading a worthy habitual mode of education. Reading shapes character, enhances creativity and intelligence.

Dr. A.P.J. Kalam once said… Always keep reading because the person who doesn’t read when he can, is no different from the person who can’t read at all!

Absolutely true! Anytime is a good time for children and adults to get acquainted with books… so, this upcoming vacation, happy reading to one and all.

TEACHERS DAY

TEACHERS DAY

A home-truth quote by Nicholas A. Ferroni, an educator and activist, so aptly says it – “Educators are the only people
who lose sleep over other people’s children.”
And yet, this noble vocation is embraced and held close to the heart
of all teachers.

The students expressed their love and respect for us teachers with their compliments and exuberant loving gestures. They prepared hard to entertain us and we enjoyed every bit of it!
