Students of Auxilium School Dum Dum took a step forward to make known Don Bosco to their neighbouring English medium Schools. On the 17^th July 2015, class XI C organized an inter School Speech Competition on ‘Torch Bearers’ under the guidance of the Principal Sr. Esther. WWA Cossipore, St. Stephen School, National English School, St. Mary’s Orphanage and Day School and our school took part in the event. It was a privilege for our school to have Provincial Sr. Rose Ezarath as our Chief Guest. It began with a prayer, a welcome dance and a short film on Don Bosco’s encounter with young prisoners. The students were inspired by the deep trust Don Bosco had in the youngsters. Everybody knew about Don Bosco’s faith in God but it was new for the other school students to know how much Don Bosco trusted youngsters.

The speeches of all the participants were enlightening. A slide show on Don Bosco’s preventive system was presented by the students. The programme ended with the distribution of prizes. The first & second position was secured by WWA Cossipore School. National English School secured the third position. In conclusion class XI C sang a melodious song to honor Don Bosco. The programme was a great success and a forerunner of the closing ceremony of the Bicentenary celebration of Don Bosco’s Birth Anniversary.
