The 5th of May, saw the Middle School proudly celebrating Edmund Rice Day with great enthusiasm and a spirit of reverence for our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice. The celebrations moved beyond grandeur and instead focused on the theme “Anchored in Faith, Steady in Hope."  The occasion yet again highlighted the values and vision of Edmund - that of Empathy, Compassion and Resilience and strived to inspire students to reflect on this ethos.

Students of Classes 4 to 10 actively participated in a variety of age appropriate and meaningful activities. 

Classes 4-8, gave expression to their thoughts through a poster-making competition and created vibrant artwork and thoughtful messages. The displays reflected their understanding of faith as a guiding force and hope as a source of strength in challenging times.

Classes 9 and 10, saw a PPT encapsulating the milestones of Blessed Edmund Rice 's life and successfully completed a related Crossword thereafter.

To make the celebration more meaningful, a ration collection drive was conducted, encouraging students to contribute essential food items for those in need. The initiative fostered empathy and social responsibility, reinforcing the importance of giving back to the community. The generous contributions were proof of the spirit of Edmund in each Columban!

Giving context to the entire celebration, was a special assembly conducted over the mic, where students shared thoughts and reflections on the significance of the Day. 

Overall, the celebration was a meaningful and enriching experience, leaving students inspired to uphold Blessed Edmund Rice 's values in their daily lives.
