19th March was a very special day as we celebrated *St. Joseph's Feast Day* with a special assembly, where students presented a special act highlighting the values of our patron saint. Rev. Fr. Antony, our director, spoke about St. Joseph's life - his dedication, love, and care as the foster father of Lord Jesus, and his humility and hard work. St. Joseph's life teaches us the importance of kindness, compassion, and responsibility.

We also had the Nursery Fest, a vibrant celebration that marked a new chapter for our little ones! The freshers were filled with excitement and joy as they, along with their parents were greeted with warm smiles, enthusiastic cheers and words of wisdom by Rev.Fr. Antony. The tiny tots were thrilled to explore their new surroundings. The highlight of the fest was the adorable dance performances. From classical to contemporary, each act was a master class in expression and rhythm. We celebrated the start of this academic year with *Vidyarambhan ceremony* anticipating to witness our new freshers grow, achieve and make unforgettable memories with us. We wish these new members of Josephite family all the very best for their upcoming years.

The new academic session 2026–27 at St. Joseph’s Boys’ School began on 11th March with gratitude and positivity. The assembly started with the blessings of the Almighty, followed by a prayer and a lamp lighting ceremony. Sacred lines were then read from the Holy Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Shri Guru Granth Sahib, spreading a message of unity and faith.

May the Almighty bless everyone with knowledge, success, and happiness, and may this academic year be successful and joyful for all.

Glimpses of Christmas Celebrations with the staff.

We wish everyone Merry Christmas 🎅

On December 23, 2025, our school campus was transformed into a festive wonderland for our grand Christmas function. The celebration began with a warm welcome for our esteemed Director, Rev. Father Antony Thuruthiyil. His presence set a joyful tone as the entire student body gathered to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. The air was filled with the sweet sound of carols and the sight of vibrant decorations. It was a day dedicated to spreading the message of peace, love, and community. We all felt a deep sense of excitement as the morning festivities officially kicked off.
A significant highlight of the event was the Sarvadharma Sambhava session, which celebrated religious harmony. On the occasion of Christmas, Dr. Malkiet Singh, Professor from the Department of Punjabi, Trinity College, spoke about Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam, emphasizing that God is one and that we should all believe in one supreme power. He explained the Sikh principles of Kirat Karo, Naam Japo, and Vand Chhako, which teach us to live honestly, remember God, and share with others. Mr. Raman Kumar, Assistant Professor from the Department of Languages, Trinity College, spoke in detail about Hinduism, explaining the importance of Dharma (righteousness) and the ideals of Lord Ram, who represents truth, duty, patience, and respect. He also highlighted the belief of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, meaning the whole world is one family, and explained that Hinduism teaches respect for all living beings and allows worship of God in many forms while believing in one ultimate truth. Both speakers explained that the teachings of Christianity convey the same message of love, peace, and unity, and they encouraged everyone to stay together in harmony, irrespective of religion. Their words added intellectual and spiritual depth to our celebration and truly reflected the inclusive values of the festive season.
