Management Day

 We Salute Our Dynamic Management Team and say, "THANK YOU'!

-Ms. Sunita D’Souza

St. Joseph’s High School,
Wadala,
30th October 2013

A special day is earmarked every year on the school calendar to felicitate the Management. This year the Management day coincided with the last day of class before the commencement of the Diwali vacations. The excitement of the last day of class however did not take the shine off the elaborate celebrations to wish the Management team: Rev. Fr. Godfrey D’Sa (Rector), Rev. Fr. Bernard Fernandes (Principal), Rev. Fr. Vivian D'Souza (Counsellor)), Rev. Fr. Allwyn Misquita (Administrator), Ms. Nicole Britto (Vice-Principal)  - the pillars of St. Joseph's High School, Wadala. 

A plethora of events and special items were line up by the staff and students of the Pre-Primary, Primary and the Secondary Sections to mark the occasion.  At the first program of the morning organized by the Pre-Primary and the Primary sections of the school, the Members of the Management team were accorded a warm welcome by the two little comperes of the ceremony and by all the staff and students. The backdrop bearing the names of each and every member of the Management team held the message 'We Love You All'.

A prayer dance with symbolic expressions of love and gratitude; a wonderful address by Master Ian D’Souza, the Headboy of the Primary Section, on behalf of the staff and students, expressing sentiments of love and gratitude; and a floral tribute in the form of handmade cards and fresh flowers to the Members of the Management as a token of love and appreciation; all bore a stamp of sincere affection.  Rev. Fr. Godfrey then addressed the gathering and urged everyone to give of themselves freely. The tiny tots of the Pre-Primary Section then, donning the clothes of the animals in the jungle, enthralled everyone with their cute rhythmic walk-cum-dance in the jungle! After a melodious rendition of the ‘Thank You Song’ by the Primary teachers, the serenade by the boys and ‘girls’ of the Primary section through some foot-tapping remix (medley) of popular Hindi movie songs, capped the proceedings.  Fr.Bernard then proposed the vote of thanks. He thanked everyone for all the efforts taken to make the Management Day celebration heartwarming, exciting and memorable!

The students and staff of the Secondary section were equally effusive in the showering of warmth and affection on the Management. A touch of variety lent humor and entertainment to the felicitation program. The homely address, a succinct power point presentation featuring the qualities of the members of the management team, energetic and thrilling dances, harmonious melodies in the form of songs, and humorous skits not only showcased the talents of the students but also served as a platform for a sincere display of gratitude and appreciation.

In the afternoon, the members of the staff gathered around the management team for a fellowship meal. In a show of strength, the entire gathering, with hands held together, formed a circle of love, and praised and thanked God for all the blessings.  The Members of the Management were thanked personally for their meticulous planning, dedication, unstinted efforts, hard work, passion for excellence and love. They were appreciated for helping St. Joseph's reach greater heights, through their effective leadership, networking, encouragement, support and guidance. Fr. Godfrey, Fr. Bernard, Fr. Vivian, Fr. Allwyn and Ms. Nicole were presented with a token of our affection, gratitude, love and fond remembrance.  The Management team in turn thanked the staff for their dedication, cooperation and commitment.  

May Don Bosco continue to bless us all!
