The first day of school marks a significant milestone in every child's life - and perhaps even more so for our youngest learners, who take their first tiny steps into the world of formal education. On July 3, 2025, Don Bosco School had the immense joy of welcoming the nursery students for the new academic year.

It was a heartwarming and unforgettable day, filled with smiles, emotions, and the promise of new beginnings. From the early hours of the morning, the school campus came alive with energy and anticipation. As little feet approached the gates—some eagerly, some hesitantly—they were warmly greeted by our dedicated teachers and support staff, whose cheerful smiles and gentle guidance helped ease the nerves of both children and parents alike. For many families, this was a deeply emotional moment, watching their little ones take their first steps away from home and into a new learning environment.

Classrooms were set up with age-appropriate toys, books, and activity corners, designed to engage young minds and ignite a sense of discovery. Throughout the day, the campus echoed with a symphony of laughter, excited chatter, and yes, even a few teary goodbyes. Our caring teachers took great care to comfort those who needed a little extra support, helping each child settle in at their own pace. Interactive activities, storytelling sessions, and playful introductions helped build a sense of comfort and connection among the new students. It was more than just the first day of school—it was the beginning of a beautiful journey of learning, friendship, and growth.
