Pre - Primary Annual Day 2015

The St. Joseph’s Boys’ High School (SJBHS) ground is capable of multiple makeovers…..from being the playing ‘arena’ on a normal school day to donning the blue and white garb of Sports Day or the rainbow hues of the Carnival….but on the 22nd of January,2015, the grounds took on the magnificent décor of high girdles mounted with strobe lights and focus bulbs, screens and backdrop intact, all heralding the theme “LOVE THE WORLD YOU ARE IN”, as the tiny tots of the Pre-Primary section of SJBHS took centre stage to celebrate their Annual Day!

The Chief Guest, Dr. Vinay Martin D’Sa Prabhu, (MBBS, MD, Radiologist, M.S. Ramaiah Medical College and Hospital) and the President Rev. Fr. Anand Prabhu, (Secretary and Treasurer, Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society) arrived at the portals of SJBHS and were escorted by the Principal Rev. Fr. Clifford Sequeira, Vice Principal, Mrs. Miriam Angelo, Rev. Fr. Sunil Fernandes, Mr. Rajiv Shenoy (Vice President of the OBA) and Mr. Brian D’Lima (Secretary of the OBA), through an impressive guard of honour into the grounds, chock-a-block with an audience of parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbours and friends of the young Josephites of L.K.G and U.K.G.

The formal section of the programme began with the lighting of the symbolic lamp followed by the solemn invocation prayer. The scholastic and co-curricular events of the academic year 2014-2015 were showcased in a Power Point Presentation– a true depiction of the criteria used in channelling the energy and the potential of the young ones at SJBHS!

The welcome address by the Principal of SJBHS, Rev.Fr.Clifford Sequeira was followed by the speeches delivered by the Chief Guest and the President who graced the occasion. Their words of wisdom re-iterated their belief in the famous adage by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who once said that “the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow!”

The cultural extravaganza was a wrap of skits, action songs and dances either to ‘Celebrate Life’ or to say that ‘Life is a fun-filled adventure’! Social consciousness was the message given by the boys who said ‘No to plastic’ while others cried foul about ‘Global Warming’. Not to be left behind were the animal rights activists with their dance ‘Down in the Jungle’ and skit ‘Birds of a feather’!

The young environmentalists of SJBHS literally danced to the tune of ‘Save our Earth’ and presented a skit - ‘Plant to save the planet’! There were the health conscious who lectured the audience on the benefits of ‘Vitamins’, while some boys showed their patriotic fervour by dancing to the rhythm of ‘Made in India’! On the flip side, were the sailor boys who went on a “Voyage to discover the world”!!

After the Vote of Thanks and the National Anthem, the curtains descended on the Pre-Primary Annual Day, 2015 leaving the students happy that they had given their very BEST and the parents ‘super-excited’ that their wards were capable of being nominated for the next ‘Oscar Award’!
