Rohini Patrao MUMBAI, JULY 9, 2009: These words seemed to resound from the heart of every leader of St. Joseph's High School, Wadala. July 6, 2009 dawned as just another day but the early morning rays brought with them a mix of excitement and solemnity for it was the feast of St. Dominic Savio! The day began with the thanksgiving mass at 8.30 a.m. Fr. Aloysius Furtado, the Rector of the school was the main celebrant. He highlighted the values practised by St
. Dominic Savio and stressed on the strong relationship that he had with Jesus and Mother Mary whom he considered to be his friends. He laid emphasis on the exemplary life of St. Dominic Savio and urged all the students to emulate him. He stated that even St. Don Bosco was so touched by his virtues that he felt compelled to write a book on his life titled - 'A Boy with a Will!’ The Investiture Ceremony of the Primary Section and secondary section took place in the school auditorium; Master Varun Tirthani and Master Ayush Kamble were handed over their responsibilities as the Head boy and the Assistant Head boy of the Primary section. Master Stallon Sebastian along with Master Harsh Visaria took their oath to fulfill the duties as Head boy and Assistant Headboy of the Secondary section. The House Head captains, Vice-captains, the Monitors and Assistant monitors of both the sections were handed over their ties as a mark of responsibility and progress of the school with dignity and pride. It was a special moment for every leader as it marked the beginning of a new role to play in the new scholastic year. The beautiful smiles on the faces of the newly appointed leaders said it all! Fr. Principal then addressed the students. He congratulated the teachers who organised the Investiture Ceremony for the wonderful way in which it was conducted. He congratulated all the leaders for their brand new responsibilities and advised them to lead the path ahead setting good examples for others to follow just like our role model - St. Dominic Savio. Drawing inspiration from the motto of the school - ' We Are Born For Greater Things' and filled with the spirit of loyalty and service, all the students then stood at attention and sang the school anthem. The Investiture Ceremony came to an end leaving yet another memory to cherish for a lifetime.
