Under very unusual circumstances, it was on Thursday the 6th of August when the Divine Family officially bid adieu to 5 of our family members.
Although house-bound with the lockdown and pouring rains, 4 of our teachers did manage to reach school where our Principal, Vice-Principal and Supervisor awaited their arrival… to bid them a touching farewell and wish them a happy retirement.
The task of a teacher is a truly commendable vocation and educating is a noble mission. It is with genuine gratitude that the school acknowledges and pays tribute to their dedicated and sincere service in the field of education.
Teacher Saly
Your 28 years here at Divine Child have enriched our young students. You have not only imparted knowledge to the students, but have always shown a lot of patience with those in difficulty and been a companion to these girls gently accompanying them in their struggles and many a student endeared to you. I’m sure you will be missed by them.
Teacher Antonette
You served in this school for 21 years and your simplicity and unassuming personality is what has been a constant in all your relationships here in the school. Your loving guidance to the young girls and accommodating nature will be treasured by them for a long time to come.
Teacher Nanda
You devoted 14 years teaching in this school. The young children were drawn to you by your jovial attitude and loving concern for them. You will be missed for your spontaneous funny one-liners during staff meetings and gatherings.
Teacher Monica
You have been so full of life with your little children in class. For the past 18 years of your service here, your motherly care taught them to adjust to this new way of life away from home. You laughed, cried, danced, sang with them all the while and the little ones will remember you for it.
Cynthia
You have spent 34 years serving this institution in the administrative section. You have carried out your duties towards handling the Primary section administration with devotion and loyalty. Your service will be remembered.
Dear teachers,
As you leave the portals of this school, we wish you a well-deserved retirement and pray for health, happiness and peace in this new life that opens up to you. We hope you carry with you, the memory of a pleasant and rich collaboration.
May the road rise up to meet you
And the wind be on your back
May the sun shine warm upon you
And the rain fall gently down
May God hold you… ever hold you… gently hold you…
In the palm of His hand.
Good luck and God bless.

Vanamahotsav is a type of festival which is celebrated for tree plantation. It is organized every year in the month of July across India, when millions of trees are planted on this day.
In an earnest attempt to lend a green touch to the school environment and sensitize the students about their role in conserving it, Divine Child High School celebrates Vanamahotsav by planting small saplings in the school campus every year. But due to pandemic the students were given information about the importance of Vanamahotsav Day. Students were asked to present their views through drawings and paintings of nature. The celebration was an ideal opportunity to instill the value of social responsibility in the students towards safeguarding trees and forests.

International Yoga Day is celebrated by the students and teachers at Divine Child High School with great enthusiasm every year. This year International Yoga day ran with the theme ‘Yoga at Home, Yoga with Family’, and since the celebrations couldn’t be held the usual way due to the pandemic, it was streamed online on 22ndJune and 23rd June in our School. The objective of the day was to highlight the health-building and stress-relieving aspects of Yoga.
Students of grade IX and X demonstrated various asanas followed by Omkar chanting. Warm up exercises were taken and all the students performed sitting and standing asanas, importance of these were explained simultaneously. The celebration concluded with synchronized recitation of shloka. The teacher encouraged students to practice regular yoga to remain fitness and improve concentration. All the students were excited and energetic. Regular practice of yoga will surely help our students achieve a better life, physically, mentally and spiritually as well.
It was a great pleasure to include yoga day as a part of the syllabus in order to continue the invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition.

And the whole world comes to a standstill!! So, is this, a blessing in disguise or a curse!
Sometime in the month of March 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) declared Novel Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) as a pandemic and pleaded with countries to take immediate and vital measures to control the outbreak of this disease. Our Country and especially our State is presently struggling to stabilize ourselves and we in the city of Mumbai are experiencing a shocking state of affairs! – a city that never sleeps, literally lays in a state of coma!
Dear Divine Family – Students, Parents, Teaching, Office & Supporting staff – This pandemic has turned tables on us at a very crucial time in our academic year. But, through all this, we need to pull ourselves together from this major upheaval, in the best interest of our students… keeping in mind, especially students of Std.9 and Std.11.
Since final exams are cancelled for students (SSC & HSC) this year, it is now decisive for the school to conduct tests, ONLY for students of Std.9 & Std.11, who do not meet the average requirement for passing and being promoted to the next level. These tests will be held when the school reopens.
Please note the following :-
STD. 9
Tests will be conducted in English, Maths & Science.
STD. 11
Tests will be conducted in all relevant subjects.
PLEASE NOTE – AGAIN!
The above tests are ONLY for those students of Std. 9 & Std. 11, whose total mark scoring (tests, projects, exam, etc.) through this academic year has not reached average passing level. So students, please use this lockdown / break time to start preparing for your tests.
However, NO tests will be held for any students of Pre-Primary Section, Primary Section and Secondary Std. 5 till Std.8.
Dear all… we have always complained that time constraints make it impossible to do things we like or to be with people who are important to us. So, please look at this time as a God sent opportunity to bond, build and bloom in your relationships at home. Cherish life, respect Mother Nature and groom yourself to be humble and grateful. We pray that all of you stay indoors, healthy and safe. Please take all necessary precautions as guided by the Government. And after this time of confinement, we hope to meet you all – revived and revitalized!
