Rooted in Gratitude: A Morning of Joy and Connection

https://bis.sdbinb.in/bis-8417-rooted-in-gratitude-a-morning-of-joy-and-connection

On the occasion of World Senior Citizens’ Day, celebrated on Friday, 21st August 2026, the members of the Roots & Shoots Club – Savion Trailblazers, of St. Dominic Savio High School, Andheri, accompanied by the Principal, teacher mentors and parent volunteers, undertook their annual visit to the Home for the Aged, Mahakali, to spend a meaningful morning with the senior residents. The visit was a heartfelt initiative to celebrate the elderly, honour their wisdom and experiences, and create moments of companionship, joy and connection.

The programme began with a warm welcome, followed by a prayer. An address on behalf of the students highlighted the invaluable lessons that senior citizens offer through their experiences, courage, patience, kindness and memories. The students expressed that they had come not merely to present songs and dances, but to spend precious time with the residents, share their smiles and let them know that they were loved, valued and remembered.

The morning then came alive with a delightful medley of songs presented by the Roots & Shoots team, followed by an energetic dance performance. The performances brought colour, enthusiasm and happiness to the gathering. One of the most meaningful parts of the visit was the interaction between the students and the senior residents. The students spent time listening to their stories, sharing conversations and enjoying their company. These simple yet heartfelt interactions created a beautiful bond between the young and the young-at-heart, reminding everyone that a conversation, a smile and the willingness to listen can create lasting memories.

Adding a special warmth to the occasion, the senior residents themselves welcomed the staff and students with a beautiful song. Their gesture touched everyone present and transformed the visit into a truly reciprocal celebration of affection, appreciation and togetherness.

As a token of gratitude, the students presented the Sisters in charge of the Home with a thank-you card and a sapling, symbolising gratitude, growth and the enduring spirit of compassionate service. The school community also contributed food and household items for the residents of the Home, as a gesture of care and support.

The programme concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by the students, while the senior residents too expressed their sincere gratitude and appreciation for the efforts of the Rector, staff, students and volunteers.

The visit was a beautiful reminder that respect for elders, compassion and service are values best learnt through meaningful experiences. While the students hoped to bring happiness to the residents, they returned with something even more precious—their smiles, warmth, blessings and memories of a truly special morning.

Hygiene Heroes in Action

The Pre-Primary Section experienced an exciting and educational morning on Saturday, 22nd August 2026, when Mrs. Nastasia D’Souza, a nurse from Tata Memorial Hospital, visited the school as part of the Visitors’ Programme.

The session was designed to help young learners understand the importance of personal hygiene in a fun and engaging manner. Using an interactive PowerPoint presentation, catchy songs, and lively discussions, Mrs. D’Souza introduced the children to simple yet essential habits such as washing hands correctly, keeping nails clean and trimmed, and maintaining overall cleanliness to stay healthy.

Adding a creative twist to the programme, the children were encouraged to think of themselves as “Hygiene Heroes” whose superpowers come from practicing good habits every day. Through this imaginative approach, they learned how cleanliness protects them from harmful germs, bacteria, and viruses.

The visit not only increased the students’ awareness of healthy living but also inspired them to take responsibility for their own well-being.
The Visitors’ Programme continues to provide meaningful opportunities for children to learn from professionals and gain practical knowledge beyond the classroom.

Staff Retreat: Teaching with Heart, Leading with Purpose

https://bis.sdbinb.in/bis-8412-staff-retreat-teaching-with-heart-leading-with-purpose

The annual Staff Retreat of St. Dominic Savio High School was held on Wednesday, 19th August 2026. Animated by Rev. Fr. Avil Correia, Vice Principal of Don Bosco, Lonavala, and a proud alumnus of our institution, the retreat centred on the theme, “Education is a Matter of the Heart.” The day offered a meaningful opportunity for reflection and appreciation of the impact educators have on the lives of their students.
The retreat commenced with an inspiring song that reminded participants of the miracles that unfold when one believes. This was followed by a lively Teacher’s Bingo activity, where staff members warmly interacted with one another to identify colleagues based on unique characteristics, setting the tone for the day’s sessions.
In the first session, Fr. Avil invited the staff to reflect on thought-provoking questions: Why did you choose teaching as a profession? What brings you joy as an educator? What challenges drain your energy? What three qualities are you known for among your students? Through personal anecdotes from his own school days, Fr. Avil highlighted the profound influence that mentors can have on shaping young lives. Group discussions followed providing space for meaningful conversations about the joys and challenges of the teaching vocation.
A key message that resonated throughout the session was Fr. Avil’s reminder that “the primary role of an educator is to build connections and relationships with students.” This message was further reinforced through a TED Talk by renowned educator Rita Pierson. The talk underscored the importance of creating positive relationships with students and reminded teachers that meaningful learning occurs when children feel loved and understood.
The second session featured the inspiring sports drama Peaceful Warrior (2006), directed by Victor Salva. The film follows the journey of Dan Millman, a talented gymnast searching for meaning in life. Through its powerful themes of self-discovery and personal growth, the film encouraged participants to reflect on their own journeys as educators. Following a reflective discussion, all were invited to write a personal resolution as educators and place it as a symbolic brick in the collective edifice of the school.
The retreat concluded with heartfelt reflections from staff members, many of whom described the experience as enriching and inspiring. Mrs. Cecilia Fernandes, a Preschool educator shared, “The retreat was a wonderful opportunity for reflection, learning and reconnecting with the true purpose and joy of being a teacher.” Another Primary educator, Mrs. Bonosri Mazumdar expressed that “she felt motivated to bring out the best in every student.” Truly, the retreat rekindled a renewed commitment to the Salesian values of compassion, and joyful service, reminding all present that education is a mission rooted in the heart. Through dialogue and shared experiences, the retreat strengthened the staff’s resolve to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of the young people entrusted to their care.

My Body, My Safety

The Pre-Primary Section conducted an important and age-appropriate awareness session on Safe and Unsafe Touch, led by our school counsellors on 20th August 2026.

The session helped the young learners understand the importance of personal safety and body boundaries. Through a simple and engaging demonstration using a human figure, the students were guided about private body parts and the importance of not allowing anyone to touch them inappropriately.

The children were taught a simple safety rule: if a touch ever makes them feel uncomfortable, scared, or unsafe, they should say “NO!” loudly, move away, and immediately tell a trusted adult.

The session also highlighted the concept of a “Safe Circle”, comprising trusted adults such as parents, grandparents, and teachers. The children were encouraged to speak openly with these trusted adults whenever they feel uncomfortable, confused, or unsafe.

To make the learning enjoyable and memorable, the session included demonstrations, simple actions, and a lively action song reinforcing the message of body safety.

The session concluded with an empowering reminder for every child: “My body is special, my body belongs to me, and I have the right to feel safe."
