Creativity and patriotic fervour radiantly on display this Independence Day

The school event proclaimed a definitive message: in freedom, we find roots; in goodness, we find growth; in hope, we find forever.

On 15th August 2025, Don Bosco High School, Panjim, celebrated Independence Day with great enthusiasm and patriotic fervour. All sections gathered on campus to mark the occasion in the presence of the Chief Guest Shri Rohit Monserrate, the honourable Mayor of the City of Panjim. The oath was administered by the Headmaster Fr. Avin Carvalho.

The chief guest was given a warm welcome and escorted by the smartly turned-out National Cadet Corps, which added to the pride of the event. After the unfurling of the National Flag in the presence of dignitaries, staff, and students, the entire campus echoed with the strains of the national anthem, sung with pride and devotion.

A striking highlight of the ceremony was the beautifully curated lotus backdrop, shaped as a vision built to last. The petals unstained, set free, invoked a quiet call—on what can be, in truth, together with goodness and beauty, marked with a hope that forever flows. This creative work, designed by the talented Visual Art crew of Don Bosco High School, provided a meaningful and symbolic setting for the day’s programme.

The formal ceremony was followed by a cultural programme conducted by the students. As the melodious patriotic song Vande Matram filled the air, a choreographed routine was performed with passion, reverberating with the spirit of nationalism. A well-presented skit highlighted the values of freedom, evoked a sense of responsibility and good citizenship among the audience.

The event concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks, expressing gratitude to the chief guest, the school management, teachers, students, and all who contributed to making the day memorable. The Independence Day celebration at Don Bosco High School was indeed a blend of pride, patriotism, creativity and promise for a brighter tomorrow.
