A PowerPoint presentation on “Beat the Air Pollution”, the theme of this year’s Environment Day was then displayed which spoke much louder than words ever could. The boys of class 9 presented a touching mime on how destruction of the environment could eventually lead to our destruction, with the message, ‘Save the environment’.

The Principal Sr. Melissa led the Head boy Glen Philip Sequeira of Class XII and the Head girl Boomika Arun of Class X in the oath-taking ceremony. The cabinet members and the house leaders then took their oaths. The Principal, Joint Secretary and Vice-Principal then pinned the badges on the leaders. The Head boy expressed his gratitude to the school management and faculty for his nomination and assured the school his cabinet’s total commitment and dedication to the school.

A heart-rending skit by the students of class IX and class X highlighted the terrible and traumatic effects of air pollution.

The Chief Guest Sr. Marie Lucy congratulated the Cabinet Leaders for their courage and generosity in pledging to do their best for the school. She highlighted nine points that a leader should have: The strong desire to serve the institution, commitment, responsibility, hard work, character, confidence, generous spirit of service, determination (positive power of persistence) and pride of achievement and performance.
