‘It is good to be children sometimes,
And never better than at Christmas,
When its mighty founder
Was a child himself’
(Charles Dickens – A Christmas Carol)
The Divine children began their Christmas festivities in school with Carol Singing on Monday 19th December for Std. VII to Std. X and on Tuesday 20th December 2016 for Std. V & VI.
It is a time of the year, when the heart is exalted and sings with gladness!! And the lilting voices of these angels filled the auditorium of the school!! They crooned praises of the babe born in Bethlehem in song and their hearts believed in His glory!!
It was a soul-warming sight so see and hear the whole class present their carols… even though they are not all blessed with nightingale voices!! A thought of Maya Angelou comes to mind… “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.”

The Christmas Tableau titled ‘The Christmas Symbol Story’ was presented by the Secondary students on Tuesday 20th December 2016. The array of various Christmas symbols explaining their meaning enlightened the students on the purpose of using the symbols.
An enjoyable morning spent.

Before closing for the festive season, the students enjoyed a swinging Christmas party in their respective classrooms with their class teachers on Thursday 22nd December 2016. The lavish spread of sweetmeats and Christmas cookies tempted the palate. The children left for their winter vacation with satisfied tummies and a happy mind, looking forward to a cheerful season and a exciting New Year.

The KP East Ward level Science Exhibition 2016-17 from Thursday 1st Dec to Saturday 3rd Dec 2016, hosted in coordination with our Divine Child High School & Junior College at our institution premises, saw a tsunami of budding scientific minds along with their mentors, proudly exhibit and present their innovative science projects.
Many of the exhibits were practical structures that the human mind with simple common thinking could conjure up. Thomas Huxley aptly said, ‘Science is simply common sense at its best’.
It was indeed a pleasure to view and experience at the exhibition, the deep interest of a spurt of brilliant young students who satisfied their innate curiosity in the world of science… this surely, for the future betterment and development of society.
Truly… Science is the poetry of reality!

‘Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and to lose – it teaches you about LIFE.’ – Billie Jean King

Undoubtedly, a matter of pride for Indians that the United Nations in the year 2010, declared the birth anniversary of our Late President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam as ‘World Students’ Day’. It was his love for the teaching profession and students in particular, that promoted it.
His birthday 15th October is marked as ‘Reading Day’ or ‘No Bag Day’ in schools and was celebrated in our school on Friday 14th October 2016.
The day began with regular prayer service followed by speeches given by our students Shirley D’Souza and Jessica Joby on the life and works of Dr. Kalam. The teachers in-charge not only highlighted the importance of reading but also presented a model reading for the students.
The students enjoyed the experience of reading books of their choice and interest and exchanged them with each other. Teachers encouraged the students to indulge in this thrilling and exciting pastime of reading.
A short clipping on a lecture inspiring students to learn, read and gain knowledge by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was screened for the students.
