A comprehensive Medical Check-up Camp was conducted at Don Bosco School and Junior College, Nashik, on July 13, 14 and 15, 2026, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to the health and well-being of its students. Organized in collaboration with the medical staff of Motiwala Medical College, Nashik, the camp aimed to promote preventive healthcare and ensure the overall wellness of young learners.

Over the course of two days, students from various sections of the school and junior college underwent thorough health screenings conducted by a team of qualified doctors, medical interns, and healthcare professionals. The examinations included measurements of height and weight, vision screening, dental check-ups, and general physical assessments. These screenings helped identify potential health concerns at an early stage while encouraging students to become more aware of their personal health.

The medical team interacted with students in a friendly and informative manner, guiding them on the importance of maintaining good hygiene, consuming nutritious food, exercising regularly, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits. The sessions also highlighted the value of routine medical examinations in ensuring long-term physical well-being.

The camp was smoothly coordinated by the school management and staff. Teachers assisted in organizing students and maintaining discipline, ensuring that the health assessments were carried out efficiently. The enthusiastic participation and cooperation of the students contributed greatly to the success of the programme.

The initiative reflected the educational vision of St John Bosco, who believed that the holistic development of young people includes caring for their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Guided by his preventive approach to education, the school continues to create opportunities that nurture healthy and responsible individuals.

The camp was organized under the guidance of Principal Fr Rixson Nigrel, whose vision emphasizes the importance of student welfare alongside academic excellence. His encouragement of such initiatives demonstrates the school’s dedication to creating a safe, healthy, and supportive learning environment.

The management expressed heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and healthcare professionals of Motiwala Medical College for their valuable service. The Medical Check-up Camp proved to be a meaningful initiative, reaffirming Don Bosco School and Junior College’s commitment to nurturing healthy minds and healthy bodies for a brighter future.
