MATUNGA, AUGUST 25, 2010: ‘Keep innovating, Keep motivating, Keep moving ahead’, is the underlining principle at Don Bosco High School, Matunga.
With our Principal, Rev. Fr. Bosco D’Mello at the helm of affairs, the mundane co-curricular activities, wore a festive look and were christened ‘Bosco Kala Utsav’.
Co-curricular Activities are held all through the year at different intervals. This affected the academic progress of the school. It was therefore decided to club all these activities, include those held at inter-school/ward level and add interesting suggestions that were offered.
The array of activities now were: Choral Recitation, Elocution – Hindi / Marathi / English, Debates, Spelling Bee, General Quiz, Group Singing- Patriotic Song, Folk Dance, Music Vocals – Indian & Western, Mad Ad Jingle, Antakshari, Mock Rock, I’ve Got Talent, Art & Craft that were all held in the two days that were set aside for them.
The bonus points that the Bosco Kala Utsav earned was the ‘home-coming’ of our Past Pupils to judge the events. On being interviewed, the one word they echoed aloud was AWESOME! They were happy to observe that the school marched with the times and fortified their students with the much needed confidence for the future.
Everyone participated in the Bosco Kala Utsav as one big family – Management, staff and students! One could see growth around. The spectacular festival with food for the mind, music and dance for body and soul and a whole lot of positive energy, was everybody’s delight. The whole event ended with the boys spontaneously breaking into song and the air filled with strains of ‘Raise your Voices’ in gratitude to our father Don Bosco.
