Do Whatever He Tells You – Believers, Free to Serve

By Mr. Manoj Koli

The Class 10B assembly, held on 1 July under the guidance of Class Teacher, Mr. Manoj Koli, was based on the theme "Do Whatever He Tells You – Believers, Free to Serve." The programme commenced with a reflective introduction by the narrators, who emphasized how simple everyday actions—such as a kind word, a helping hand, or a moment of understanding—can bring hope and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

After extending a warm welcome to the Fr. Rector, Fr. Administrator, Principal, Supervisors, teachers, and students, the narrators introduced the year's theme and encouraged everyone to see faith not merely as a belief, but as a way of life expressed through listening to one's conscience and serving others in ordinary moments. This was followed by a prayerful meditation led by the class teacher, preparing the gathering for the message of the assembly.

The central message was conveyed through three impactful narrative segments highlighting service, kindness, and courage in different contexts. A classroom scene reminded students never to mock others but instead to encourage and help one another grow. Another segment portrayed the gratitude of children towards Don Bosco for opening doors of hope through education. The final presentation emphasized that service goes beyond helping individuals—it also means standing united for truth and justice, even when it demands sacrifice or the courage to stand alone. The powerful message, "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself... and make that change," beautifully reinforced the theme.

In the reflection, the assembly brought together all the presentations, reminding everyone that whether it is a student helping a classmate, ordinary citizens standing up for justice, or a global artist using his platform to inspire change, the call to serve remains the same. In his address, Fr. Godfrey D'Souza (Rector) challenged the audience to write their own history through everyday acts of service, courage, and by becoming a light to others.

The assembly concluded with a closing prayer, asking God for the strength to listen to His voice, choose what is right, and willingly serve teachers, friends, and strangers with love, thereby becoming instruments of peace within the school community.

The programme was further enriched with inspiring musical performances, including "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson, "Watch Your Heart / Watch Your Mouth" by Josiah Queen, "Dreamers Dance," and concluded with a grand finale performance of "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison, symbolizing unity among religions as all the participating students gathered on stage to sing together.
