Crescens Lemos sdb MATUNGA, SEPTEMBER 25, 2008: Workshop on House Keeping: On September 19, the House Keeping Department of ITC Grand Central conducted a workshop for th
e boarders of Don Bosco Matunga, as part of their social outreach. During the workshop they focused on the need for hygiene and cleanliness in and around the places we live, like the dormitory, refectory study hall, etc. The programme also consisted of some games and entertainment which was a way of interacting and relaxing, both, for the boarders and the house-keeping staff. Lt. Col. K.C. Menon, who heads one of the departments of ITC Grand Central, is a great friend and benefactor of the boarding, and he was very glad to have this opportunity to spend time with the boarders. He provided the boarders with some snack s and cold drinks as a token of his love for them. Professor Vijay Singh of Science Olympiads fame visits his Alma Mater: The National Olympiad programme in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Junior Science is a joint venture of ‘Homi Baba Centre for Science Education’, ‘Tata Institute of Fundamental Research’, and the ‘Indian Association for Physics Teachers’. The programme aims in promoting excellence in science among pre-university students and selects a team of students to represent India at the International Olympiads. On September 20, Professor Vijay Singh National Coordinator for the Science Olympiads addressed the students of Stds 7, 8 and 9 of Don Bosco Matunga. Speaking to the students he said that in the international Science Olympiads, India ranks third in the world. He was also proud to mention that he has ch
erished memories of his Alma Mater, Don Bosco Matunga, from where he passed out in 1967. He said that Don Bosco has always been excelling in the field of sports; however, this is not the case in the Olympiads. By offering his expertise to the boys, he encouraged them to explore this arena of mathematics and science and to keep the name of the school high as it has always been. Don Bosco Strikes Again: Once again the Under-16 football team of Don Bosco Matunga emerged winners of the Ahmed Sailor knock-out tournament, defeating St. Anne’s, Malad, in a tie breaker 5-4. The Bosco team played very well with Harold Fernandes (boarder) and the skipper Curtis Nazareth putting up an exceptional performance. However St. Anne’s put forth a strong defense which made it difficult for the Bosco team to strike a goal.
