“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”
Convent of Jesus and Mary International School celebrated Reading Day on 1st October 2026, commemorating the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the renowned philosopher, educator and former President of India.
To nurture the habit of reading and encourage a love for books, students from Grade 8 to Grade 10 participated enthusiastically in the special reading activity. The children brought along their favourite storybooks, creating a delightful atmosphere filled with imagination, curiosity and the joy of reading.
Students spent quality time immersed in their chosen books, exploring fascinating stories, characters and adventures. The activity provided them with an opportunity to read for pleasure, broaden their imagination and discover the wonderful world that books have to offer.
The Reading Day celebration beautifully reinforced the importance of reading in a child’s learning journey and encouraged students to make reading a meaningful and enjoyable part of their everyday lives.

The session provided students with age-appropriate and valuable information about the menstrual cycle, menstrual hygiene, common menstrual concerns, and healthy practices. The resource person Dr.Rohini Khera Bhatt explained the changes that occur during adolescence and encouraged students to maintain proper personal hygiene and adopt healthy habits during menstruation.

The interactive session also gave students an opportunity to clarify their doubts and concerns in a comfortable and supportive environment. Emphasis was placed on understanding menstruation as a natural and healthy biological process and on breaking hesitation and misconceptions surrounding menstrual health.

The talk was informative and beneficial, helping students become more aware, confident and responsible about their menstrual health and well-being. The school expressed its gratitude to Apollo Hospital for conducting this meaningful awareness session and contributing towards the health and holistic development of our students.

A solemn and meaningful Teachers’ Day Mass was celebrated on 4th September 2026 at 9:00 a.m. bringing together the school community in prayer, gratitude and thanksgiving. The celebration was presided over by Rev. Fr. John Berkman and was centred on the inspiring theme, “Igniting the Light of Wisdom and Hope.”

The occasion was made especially significant as it also commemorated the Feast of Blessed Dina Bélanger, whose life of deep faith, prayer, humility and selfless dedication continues to inspire us. Her unwavering love for Christ and spirit of service offer a beautiful example of how one can become a source of light and hope to others.

The theme beautifully reflected the noble vocation of teachers. Teachers are not merely imparters of knowledge; they are guides, mentors, and role models who illuminate young minds and hearts.

The celebration invited the teachers to reflect on the deeper meaning of their vocation. Like a lamp that dispels darkness, a teacher brings clarity where there is confusion and hope where there is uncertainty. The life of Blessed Dina Bélanger reminded everyone that true wisdom is enriched by faith, humility, love and a spirit of self-giving.

The Teachers’ Day Mass was therefore a beautiful celebration of faith, vocation, and gratitude. Inspired by the example of Blessed Dina Bélanger and guided by the theme “Igniting the Light of Wisdom and Hope,” the teachers were encouraged to continue being beacons of wisdom, compassion and hope for their students and for the wider community.

The occasion provided children with a wonderful opportunity to learn about and appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures that make our world so diverse and beautiful. Through thoughtful discussions, engaging presentations, and colourful expressions, the students spoke about different cultures, traditions, customs, festivals, languages, attire, music, and food from various parts of the country and the world.

Their words reflected curiosity, respect, and admiration for the unique ways in which people celebrate their heritage. Each presentation added a new shade to the colourful mosaic of human culture, reminding us that although our traditions may differ, the values of love, kindness, unity, and harmony connect us all.

The celebration encouraged students to embrace diversity, respect one another’s backgrounds, and understand the beauty of living together in peace and friendship. It was a memorable day filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and cultural pride.

May this celebration inspire our children to cherish their own heritage while appreciating the traditions of others, nurturing the spirit of unity in diversity and making the world a more harmonious place.

The activity brought together creativity, joy, and the beautiful spirit of sibling love. Our students enthusiastically crafted colourful and beautiful Rakhis, adding their own unique touch to this cherished tradition.

Through this creative activity, the children experienced the joy of making something with their own hands while appreciating the values of love, care, togetherness, and the precious bond of relationships.

It was a delightful celebration filled with creativity, laughter, and the festive spirit of Raksha Bandhan.

May every Rakhi remind us to cherish, respect, and nurture the beautiful bonds that make our lives special.
