“Children are the inspiration to make the world a better place.”
This spirit echoed across the campus of St Dominic Savio High School, Andheri East, as the school came alive with laughter, colour, and celebration on November 14, 2025. From the tiniest Savions in Pre-Primary and Nursery to the energetic students of the Secondary Section, the entire school united under the theme “Every Child is a Star.” Classrooms decorated with balloons, streamers, and vibrant artwork—lovingly prepared by teachers and parents—set the perfect atmosphere for a memorable day.
The festivities began in the Pre-Primary, where teachers opened the celebration with a heartfelt prayer and an energetic action song. The little ones were thrilled as their teachers stepped into the world of imagination, enacting timeless nursery rhymes such as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” “Johnny Johnny Yes Papa,” and “Lakdi Ki Kaathi.” The children cheered with delight as their teachers danced and performed with infectious enthusiasm. A lively game of “Banning the Subject” had everyone hopping and laughing, and soon the tiny tots took the spotlight with their own adorable dance performances.
In the Primary Section, the AV Hall buzzed with excitement as a well-curated stage programme unfolded. Following a warm welcome by the anchors and a calming prayer service, the children joined in a cheerful Welcome Song. A fascinating Magic Show captivated the students, filling the hall with gasps and giggles. Teachers presented a humorous skit titled “The Animals Visit St Dominic Savio High School,” which kept the audience thoroughly entertained. A high-energy dance performance added to the festive mood.
The Secondary Section celebrated with equal enthusiasm. Rector and Manager Fr Franco Pereira addressed the students with an inspiring message, reminding them that every child carries within them a radiant light to be nurtured with values, compassion, and courage. The assembly featured soulful singing, a prayer service, an engaging skit, and a vibrant dance by the teachers and coached. Exciting telegames brought loud cheers and sparkling laughter.
Across the school, one message shone brightly—every Savion is unique, valued, and full of promise. Children’s Day 2025 blossomed into a beautiful celebration of dreams, innocence, and the starry spirit that each child brings to St Dominic Savio High School.
