With the echoes of student debates still lingering in the corridors and a spirited atmosphere resonating across the campus, Don Bosco High School & Junior College, Lonavla, proudly announced the results of its much-anticipated student council elections for the academic year 2025–2026.

Reflecting a vibrant culture of democratic participation, the elections culminated in the selection of young leaders who will now shoulder responsibilities with pride, discipline, and a commitment to uphold the Bosconian spirit.

At the college level, the prestigious title of College Captain was conferred upon Hasnain Sayyed and Sanidhya Wakde, both of whom have consistently demonstrated leadership, diligence, and a commendable sense of integrity. Their election symbolises the trust their peers have placed in their vision for a more dynamic and united college community.

Meanwhile, the mantle of School Captain was passed on to Rutivik Daryanani, a student known for his quiet confidence, inclusive approach, and steady commitment to excellence — qualities that earned him both admiration and votes.

The four House systems, integral to Don Bosco’s ethos of collaboration and healthy competition, also saw a vibrant lineup of newly elected captains:

• Red House: Mohana Kothari, Mahendra, Siddhesh Deshpande, and Shaun Joshi.

• Green House: Bhumi Khandebharad, Neel Thule, Shineil Mathias, and Viren Sable.

• Blue House: Vaishnavi Goje, Joechrist Fernandes, Moses Nicholas, and Smaran Manore.

• Yellow House: Swarali Mavkar, Antonio Britto, Malhar Kamthe, and Lael Gonsalves.

Adding to this dynamic team, the prefectural body has been freshly appointed:

For Class XII, the prefects are:

• Enoch Fereira and Joshua Jacinto (Boys)

• Sejal Pardeshi, Anushka Dhumal, and Zebia Khan (Girls)

Class X representatives include:

• Aman Upadhay, Sanal Ghangya, and Athrv Kedari

From Class IX, the leadership torch is carried forward by:

• Beryl Tuscano and Ruven D’Souza

As these young leaders step into their roles, they carry forward a legacy of Bosco leadership — rooted in service, excellence, and a spirit of camaraderie. With them at the helm, the academic year ahead promises energy, purpose, and a united student body ready to soar.
