BIS #1435 CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF DOMINIC SAVIO

Lynette Sequeira BORIVLI, JULY 6, 2009: The Feast of Dominic Savio was celebrated with a lot of fanfare and excitement in the Secondary Section at Don Bosco, Borivli today. The day began with a wonderfully animated Eucharistic Celebration for the Catholic students and a Prayer service for the non-catholic boys, at which the students were introduced to a few of the values practiced by the young Dominic Savio. This was followed by a short movie on the life of Dominic Savio which was very informative. The newly formed school band also entertained all the students with some foot tapping songs. Their lively singing helped to brighten up the festive mood of the day. After this, the students were divided into two sections. While the students from class V - VII enjoyed some wonderful outdoor games, the students of classes VIII - X tested their knowledge on the life of Dominic Savio through a game of housie based on the young saint's life. The batches and activities were then reversed. The morning ended with a small snack provided by the management. Once the students had their share of fun, it was time for the teachers to celebrate. The management decided to use this occasion to celebrate the wonderful SSC results and so the management and staff then enjoyed a few fellowship games, some dancing and shared a wonderful meal together. Our previous Principal Fr. Bosco D'Mello was also present to celebrate this wonderful moment with us and all the staff was happy to see him once again. Hoping our family here at Don Bosco, Borivli, always finds countless moments like these to celebrate our joy and togetherness.
