OBA BUZZ - 2016

The OBA Buzz 2016 was inaugurated with the lighting of the symbolic lamp by Rev. Fr. Principal Clifford Sequeira SJ, OBA President Mr. Shashi Lewis and a student representative. Light symbolizes knowledge; darkness symbolizes ignorance. The whole week at the end of June, was a learning experience for all the students participating and as the audience too.

The first event was a Debate for Stds 9 to 12. This encouraged students to hone their skills in defending their individual viewpoints. Meanwhile, in the Concert Hall, the much awaited Dumb Charades was taking place.

After Dumb Charades, the JAM or Just/Jest-A-Minute was held. Old Boys - Ashwin Leyland and Naren were the judges for these two events.

The next day, Air Crash and Mad Ads were the two events scheduled to take place in the Concert Hall. These two events created a lot of excitement. Old Boys, Ashwin Leyland, Vivek George and Arun Nair judged these events.

On the following day Elocution for the Students of Stds 5 to 8 was held. Boys learnt up pieces of prose, poetry or famous speeches and recited them with the right poise, pronunciation and rhythm.

Thursday, 30th June 2016 was a day out for the artists of Stds 7 to 12. The Sketching and Painting talents of the students were portrayed on this day.

All in all, it was quite an experience for every single student. The OBA Buzz brought out all the literary and cultural talent hidden in every nook and corner of SJBHS. A hearty thanks to the Old Boys' Association for putting up this fantastic event for their old school.
