On 16 April, 2018 orientation for the students of classes IX to XII was organized by the school and animated by Mr. Wilson Joseph. In a very short span of time, he had everyone talking, interacting, and put everyone at ease. We were given a short briefing on the various problems that we as teenagers face today and how to overcome them, with the help of a PowerPoint presentation prepared by him. We were next sorted into groups of around ten members each. Captains were chosen in each group by a simple game devised by Mr. Wilson Joseph. We were given simple tasks such as coming up with a group name and enacting it in front of everyone. Further, Mr. Wilson Joseph enlightened us on the disadvantages of our over dependence on technology and how it is often misused.

As we left for the break, we were asked to collect reusable waste items. On our return, we were told to create the ‘the best out of waste’- a model depicting success. One by one all the groups demonstrated their models and showcased their imaginative faculty. At the end of the day, we were very thankful to our Principal Sr. Clara for organizing such a thoughtful event. On a personal note, I was touched and inspired by the words of Mr. Wilson Joseph and the group activities undoubtedly uplifted the spirit of teamwork and unity within us.
