26^th June, 2014

                        As it is rightly said that many hands make light work, the students of St. Joseph’s High School, Wadala, and Don Bosco, Matunga, imbibed this lesson in their leadership workshop conducted by the Adhyayan team at Don Bosco, Matunga. This camp was held on the 21^st, 23^rd, 24^th and the 25^th of June 2014, by three gems of the Adhyayan team - Christian, Holley and Alice. There were about 45 students who gave their all for this camp, thereby learning valuable lessons. 

                        On Saturday, the 21^st of June, the day began with some amusing activities which helped the students to get pumped up for the rest of the program. These activities also helped the neophytes to enhance their listening skills. After the session of games, the students were asked to prepare charts depicting their likes and dislikes of their alma mater. The first day was a rather vigorous day for all the students where many good values were imparted to them. On the second day, the students were given different roles to enact a perfect court scene which certainly boosted the counseling abilities of the novices. The students earnestly assimilated all the ideals from this session. The session also rendered all the qualities of a ‘Perfect Leader’ on this day.

                        The students gained knowledge about the quality of conviction on the third day when they actually tried to convince the audience that they are the BEST! They also prepared a list of points which they felt should be implemented or changed in their school. On the last day, the students attended an assembly conducted by X-E which was indeed elegant and graceful. The students then proceeded to present their apprehension about the problems that they face in school, to their respective Principals. The effort put in by the students was indeed remarkable! At the end of all presentations, Fr. Godfrey D’Sa, the Principal of St. Joseph’s High School, Wadala, gave a motivational speech to the students present there. It provided the necessary stimulation to the leaders to strive for a better tomorrow!
