As India celebrated Republic Day, the young citizens of SJBHS emulated the feelings of patriotism within the portals of the school. The flag was unfurled by the Principal, Fr Sunil Fernandes SJ, as the audience saluted the fluttering tri-colour. The National Anthem was sung with much patriotic fervour. It is with the very young that the feelings of patriotism, nationalism and love for one’s country can be developed, nurtured, and re-enforced in the classrooms and through the national festivals. Knowing this, importance is given to such festivals.

Fr Sunil, in his address, spoke about the rights and duties of citizens and the need to be always informed. Father greeted the gathering on the occasion and reminded them of the beauty of the Constitution, the importance of democracy and re-iterated the fact that each one must uphold the lofty principles enshrined in the Constitution.
