“All hail to you Don Bosco, father and guide of youth”

On 13th August 2014 HCAuxilium School – Vasant Vihar inaugurated with a lot of enthusiasm and cheer the Bicentennial of Don Bosco. Since Don Bosco is the patron of Red House, the members and coordinators of the Red house actively anchored the day’s programme. At the onset of the programme, the captain of the Red House Ms. Sunidhi Rathi solemnly carried the flag accompanied by the young people. Diksha Katoch, Vice- captain of the Red House briefed the audience about the importance of the day highlighting the ideals and legacy left behind by Don Bosco and glimpse of the life of him. She recalled the three-year preparation and the theme of each year suggested by the Rector Major Pascual Chavez.

The father and friend of youth was honoured with floral tribute by all the sisters, teachers, representatives of classes, clubs, and various houses. Mrs. Shivani Singh, a past pupil and now part of the teaching faculty shared her experience in HCA about prayer, values, and openness to the realities of life. Ms. Shreya Malik, student of cl. X recited self – composed poem on Don Bosco. A movie ‘Don Bosco: A Fascinating Saint’ and a song ‘Teacher of the World’ left every one mesmerized.

The grant finale of the programme was releasing of the balloons with messages of love, peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, cheerfulness etc. by the sisters, teachers, and young people.
