Guwahati’s Don Bosco School recently illuminated its campus with a burst of colors and cultural fervor during its Annual Day celebrations held on November 23 and 24, 2023. The two-day extravaganza brought together students, faculty, and esteemed guests, marking a memorable event in the school’s calendar.
The chosen theme for this year’s celebration was “Heritage,” a deliberate nod to the rich cultural and historical tapestry that defines the nation. Fr. Sebastian Mathew, the Principal of Don Bosco School, expressed the school’s deep pride in the country’s heritage, explaining, “We are proud of our national heritage, so we have kept our theme as heritage.”
The inaugural day saw the esteemed presence of Lakhan Lal Meena, the regional officer of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), as the Chief Guest. His presence added a touch of significance to the event, emphasizing the school’s commitment to academic excellence.
The cultural program unfolded with sections A and B, ranging from kindergarten to class 11, taking center stage. The exception was class 10, who, immersed in their board exams, gracefully stepped aside. The students presented a captivating array of cultural performances, including dance, music, and theatrical presentations, all expertly woven around the theme of Heritage. The performances showcased not only the artistic talents of the students but also their deep appreciation for the cultural roots that bind the nation together.
The Programme Coordinators, namely Mrs. Barnali Sharma Bhattacharyya, Mr. Tomal Bhattacharjee, Mrs. Sarmistha Deb, Mrs. Bijay Laxmi Baruah, Mrs. Trishna Guha Roy, and Mr. Mandeep Paul, played a pivotal role in orchestrating the seamless flow of events. Their dedication and coordination ensured that the cultural extravaganza unfolded flawlessly, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
The celebration served as a platform for students to not only showcase their talents but also to instill a sense of pride and awareness about the country’s rich heritage. The performances were a testament to the school’s commitment to holistic education, nurturing not only academic excellence but also fostering a deep connection with cultural and historical roots.
As the curtains fell on Don Bosco School’s Annual Day 2023, the vibrant memories of the cultural extravaganza lingered, leaving behind a legacy of talent, unity, and a celebration of India’s diverse heritage. The event not only showcased the students’ artistic prowess but also emphasized the school’s unwavering commitment to shaping well-rounded individuals who take pride in their cultural identity.
