The vibrant rhythm of the Dhol echoed through the corridors of Don Bosco High School & Jr. College, Oros, on 8 June 2026, marking the beginning of a promising new academic year. Standard welcome routines were set aside as teachers took up the traditional instruments to accord their students a grand, celebratory entrance rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra.
The morning began on a serene note with a solemn prayer service. The school community gathered in reverence to invoke divine blessings for the new academic year, seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength for the journey ahead.
The festive morning transitioned into an entertaining stage programme in the main auditorium. Stepping away from formal routines, the teachers performed a lighthearted, comedic act that drew laughter from the audience, easing the first-day jitters and bringing the school community together.
Following the performance, the Principal Rev. Fr. Melwin Ferrao delivered an inspiring welcome message, reminding everyone of the profound potential residing within every individual: “Every child needs to be respected, for we do not know the future; that very child may grow to become a great personality who changes the world.”
The excitement continued into the classrooms, where notice boards were decorated with vibrant art, motivational quotes, and welcoming displays. Teachers conducted creative ice-breaker activities, engaging the students in an interactive environment that fostered immediate connections. With tradition, joyful performances, and a strong sense of purpose, the first day at Don Bosco High School & Jr. College set a inspiring tone for the year ahead—a journey dedicated to curiosity, respect, and growth.
