The very meaning of ‘Vanamahotsav’ is a festival of the forest… or put in a better way, a celebration of trees – a beautiful and essential part of nature.
Friday 1st July 2016 was ‘Vanamahotsav Day’ at Divine Child High School where the students celebrated this gift from the Creator through speeches and songs during the school assembly. They reminded themselves to treasure this precious gift which not only provides us with food but is also instrumental in saving our lives. Slogan and poster competitions were held in classrooms to speak in praise of trees and their benefits. Over 70 students from Std. V to X along with the staff happily participated in the tree plantation ceremony in the school campus where fruit, ornamental & flowering saplings were planted.
‘Save paper, save trees… Save trees, save life’

Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that disciplines the human mind and body and is a holistic approach to good health and wellbeing.
On the morning of 21st June 2016, the students and teachers of Divine Child High School were prepared for a physically active day. At the school assembly, Mr. Puneet Rastogi, who has completed a 3 month certificate course from Lucknow and is presently pursuing a 1 year Teachers Training course from the world famous ‘The Yoga Institute’ in Santacruz, Mumbai gave the students a short synopsis on Yoga and its benefits. He informed the students that Yoga has its origin in our country India and is practiced over the ages. He imparted knowledge about Yoga as a form of exercise to attain self-peace through meditation and as a way to balance and stabilize the respiratory system, increase blood flow, reduce anxiety, build self-confidence and be totally energized. Also as a medium for cure from illness like stress, blood pressure, insomnia, digestive problems, etc.
After the assembly, the school hall was transformed into a sacred place of meditation as the students and teachers were led into various Yoga asanas by Mr. Puneet Rastogi.
Some of the various asanas conducted were –
Ek padasana; Vrksasana; Utkatasana; Tadasana; Padahastasana; Trikonasana; Parvatasana; Padmasana; Vajrasana; Paschimottanasana; Sukhasana; Anulom Vilom asana; Pranayama.
This physical practice procedure refreshed the mind, exercised body limbs and soothed the soul.
A satisfyingly active day!!

“Without my children my house would be clean and my wallet would be full but my HEART would be empty” – Anon.
None can challenge such a statement – rather, totally endorse! Isn’t it? We, at Divine Child High School & Junior College realize this emptiness at the close of school every year when the school corridors long for the happy tones of little children…
‘Bal Mela’ was a day set aside – Friday 22nd April 2016, when the portals of the school were filled with the excited sounds of less fortunate children in the age group of 3-12 years, from the close-by vicinity of the school. A day beginning with prayer, followed by amusement and merriment with lots of activities like drawing, & colouring, collage making, sporty games, etc. They were treated to a sumptuous and wholesome meal. The occasion concluded with giving take-away gift hampers to the little children.
They were thrilled and happy and carried away sweet memories of this day.
It definitely made their day… and ours too!!

जगाच्या पाठीवर सुमारे तीन हजार भाषा वापरल्या जातात. मराठी भाषा ही इन्दोयुरोपियन कुळातून आली आहे असे म्हटले जाते.
२७ फेब्रुवारी हा दिवस मराठीला जीवन वाहिलेले कवी कुसुमाग्रज (वि .वा . शिरवाडकर ) ह्यांचा वाढदिवस. हा दिवस महाराष्ट्रात ‘मराठी भाषादिन ‘ म्हणून साजरा केला जातो. यंदा भाषादिनास १०४ वर्षे पूर्ण होत आहेत.
डिव्हाईन चाईल्ड हायस्कूल मध्ये मराठी दिन १ मार्च २०१६ रोजी हा दिवस साजरा करण्यात आला.
शाळेची सकाळची प्राथना आणि प्रतिज्ञा मराठी मध्ये झाली . ईयत्ता ९ वि च्या विद्यार्थ्यांनी मराठी दिवसाचे महत्त्व सांगितले आणि शिवाजी माराजांनी अफझलखानाचा वध कसा केला ह्यावर सुंदर असा मराठी पोवाडा सादर केला . अशा प्रकारे मराठी भाषे विषयीचा अभिमान व्यक्त करण्यात आला.
