On the eve of country’s   68^th Republic Day on 26^th January, 2017; Convent of Jesus And Mary High School and Junior college, Kharghar proudly celebrated the glory of the day with great solemnity and grandeur. The day upholded one of Saint Claudine’s priority:-‘Living a life committed to justice, peace and the integrity of creation.

The celebrations of the day started with great éclat that showcased meaningful prayer service on the theme’ I, We and You Can Change The Country With Love, Peace And Mercy’. Which was followed by the cultural programme instilling vibes of patriotism around.

The virtue of being a responsible citizen of the country was dutifully exhibited by the staff and students along with the PTA members and the ex-students of the school through an awareness rally conducted in the vicinity of the school. It propagated the message of ‘Save girl child’ ‘and ‘Swachh Bharat’.The students along with the staff, voiced slogans and conducted street play.

The rally was quite successful and impressive enough as it enthralled the on-lookers gathered on the road to imbibe the message of  the ardent necessity to save girl child as the students of ‘Save girl child’ rally made people aware that just like a boy even a girl has the right to live a dignified and a respectful life. She is not to be subdued or ill-treated because she is born as a girl.

While the students of ‘Swachh Bharat’, made people realise it is the fundamental duty of every citizen to keep their city clean and green and also zealously picked up the debris from the road with the motto of keeping our surrounding clean

Thus, the day instilled in young minds the need to create a justified country and the necessity to uphold the honour, integrity and uniqueness of India by oneself first becoming its responsible and dutiful citizen.

Creating a harmonious and pollution free world

Celebrating the road safety campaign was initiated by the ISS India HSE (Health Safety and Environment) in order to make people aware about the national road safety in the Indian subcontinent. The aim of this campaign was to emphasize and accentuate people about the need of safe road travel by observing simple rules.

According to the information, it has been noted that approximately one lakh people lose their lives per year in the road accidents. Or some of them suffer from life threatening problems such as mental trauma, loss of memory, loss of hand or legs. It increases the importance of road safety measures. India has a very huge volume of traffic and commuters, so it is very important to make people aware of the safety measures and road pollution brewing from the huge volume of traffic.

It also need efforts from different stakeholders such as the community, transport sector, insurance sector, health sector, police, legal sector, educational institutions, highway engineers, vehicle manufacturers, public agencies, NGOs and etc. Students are given a huge opportunity to participate in the road safety week programme so as to bring about a change as future and responsible   citizens of the country

In collaboration with the RTO, i.e the regional transport office, the ISS organised a public rally for school children in the first week of October. More than 230 students of St.Joseph’s Pashan participated in the rally, which included the forming of a Human Chain from Senapati Bapat Road to Pune University Circle, a distance of about 1.5 km. They conveyed the message of safe driving by obeying simple rules and also about maintaining vehicles in order to ensure pollution control. 

The school undertook this activity as JPIC aims at creating a harmonious and pollution free world.

What does it mean to be a girl?

That is something only a girl can answer.

In the past century, the world has seen the Women’s Liberation Movement, but India still seems to be stuck in the Dark Ages.

Even today women in our country struggle for basic rights and privileges. In some places a girl child is not even allowed to live through her infancy. This injustice needs to stop.

We at St. Joseph are doing our bit towards this endeavour by encouraging our students to live a life committed to Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation. In keeping with this we had organised a Slogan competition and Drawing Competition on “Save the Girl Child.

International Charity Day

International Charity Day was celebrated in School to make the children more aware of being more loving towards people and the environment.Preparation for this day began a week earlier. On September 5th the children planted seeds in their own individual pots. The cost of the seeds was also put in the box for the poor.

As a seed needs food, sunshine and care to grow so does every creature.

On the following days all of us had the joy of seeing the young shoots emerge and grow because of the loving care they had received. So in the same way all creatures grow with love and care.There's more joy in giving than receiving.

These values are instilled today for a better tomorrow.
