MY OPINION
- Ms. Sunita D’Souza
St. Joseph’s High School, Wadala
24th July 2014
The backdrop held the words -'I Have
The Right and I Have The Responsibility To Express My Opinion At The Right Time
And Place And To Be Treated With Respect'.The compere warmly welcomed everyone
on behalf of all the students of Std. IV B. The assembly began by seeking God's
blessings on everyone and thanking Him for all that we have received through
the words of the hymn, 'O Give Thanks To The Lord'. The skit that followed
was based on the need to express our opinions (child's opinions in particular)
at the right time and place. The students expressed their opinions about topics
like prayer, homework, cleanliness, healthy food, class work, P.T. periods,
computers, good manners, etc. Next a
power point presentation was conducted by two students to spread awareness
about CRY (Child Rights and You), an organisation which focuses on striving to
achieve the rights of every child. They elaborated on the rights that every
child is entitled to.
A group of students dressed in
formal attire expressively recited the poem 'IN MY OPINION' with each letter of
the title pinned onto their shirts. They stated that they would express their
opinions truthfully, being sensitive and genuine. They thanked everyone for
listening to their opinions, for believing in them and for making them feel
special! A troupe of dancers rhythmically, and through graceful movements, portrayed their opinion about stopping child
labour, as they danced to the song 'Bezubaan'. Each one of the dancers held a
banner with a message depicting the rights and responsibilities of every child.
The closing act in the dance highlighted the importance of every child labourer
securing his right to education.
Fr. Bernard (Principal) then
addressed the students. He congratulated the class and the class teacher for
conducting the assembly well and appreciated the efforts taken to make the presentations
colourful and vibrant. He reiterated the
need for every child to be able to express his opinions making everyone aware
that opinions are formed at an early age and must be heard and respected. He
also urged the children that they must be careful while forming an opinion about
matters that concern them.
Certificates for the Friday weekly
activity were then distributed. Mrs. Matilda announced the names of the winners
and Fr. Principal congratulated them as he handed over their certificates!
The
assembly ended with the singing of the school anthem with due reverence.
