The celebrations created a refreshing atmosphere filled with colours, creativity and cheerful smiles.

Adding to the monsoon spirit, students came dressed in blue attire, beautifully representing rain-filled skies and sparkling raindrops. The school premises came alive with excitement as the students enthusiastically participated in a variety of rain-themed craft activities. These included making colourful jellyfish, umbrella collages, paper-plate umbrellas and clouds. The activities encouraged imagination and creativity while helping students develop their fine-motor skills.

On August 8, 2026, the monsoon spirit continued with the Fresher’s Party and Monsoon Hungama organised for the Std. XII students, with Blue as the theme. The celebration provided the students with an enjoyable opportunity to welcome their juniors and strengthen the bonds of friendship.

The programme commenced with a warm welcome and introduction to the event, followed by a prayer seeking blessings for the celebration. The Std. XII students entertained their juniors with energetic dance performances, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere. An engaging indoor fun game added to the excitement and encouraged interaction among the students.

The students were then privileged to receive an address by the Principal, Fr Rixson Nigrel sdb, who shared words of encouragement and guidance. The programme concluded with a heartfelt Vote of Thanks, expressing gratitude to everyone who contributed to its success.

The excitement continued as the students moved to the Turf Court, where they assembled according to their teams for the much-awaited Monsoon Hungama. The highlight of the celebration was a series of exciting water games, followed by a lively disco session. The celebration concluded with snacks, giving students an opportunity to relax, refresh and enjoy the festive spirit together.

The entire celebration beautifully combined friendship, creativity, music, games and the joy of the monsoon. Under the guidance and encouragement of the Principal Fr Rixson Nigrel sdb and the dedicated teachers, the celebrations provided students with memorable opportunities to bond with one another and enjoy school life beyond the classroom.
