The statue of St. Don Bosco in the Primary building was beautifully decorated, creating an atmosphere of joy, reverence, and celebration across the campus.

Melodious hymns sung in his honour filled the air with prayer and happiness, while teachers’ morning talks inspired students by highlighting his love for children, discipline, and spirit of service.
