The Cathedral and John Connon School

Congratulations!

The Middle School children attended an interactive talk by Aakash Shukla and his team at Dog Mantra on ‘Dog Bite Prevention and Healthy Interactions with Dogs’. He provided the children with valuable lessons on how to interact with dogs correctly to prevent conflicts and be safe, from pets as well as community dogs. The session was not only for dog lovers, but for everyone so that we can co-exist harmoniously with animals.

The Middle School Art Department collaborated with the CSA organisation to complete a wall painting activity at the Chembur Children’s Home in Mankhurd. Through the magic of art, the boys enjoyed working together to make the home’s computer lab space lively and interesting. It was a morning well spent, amongst happy children who enjoy art!

The audience was taken on an exhilarating journey back to 776 BC by the children of 4G through their assembly ‘The Games of Glory’. Immersing the audience in the splendour of the Ancient Olympics along with captivating portrayals of history and highlighting the intricacies of the events and traditions brought the ancient games to life. The performance was not just a spectacle of skillful storytelling but also a reminder of the timeless values that underpinned the Olympics, inspiring the audience to embrace the principles of peace and friendship both on and off the field of play.

The students of 4B celebrated Spring and New Beginnings by putting up a skit during assembly. Through music, drama and dance, we celebrated the season's themes, how different parts of the world welcome spring (USA- Easter, Japan- Cherry Blossom Festival, Iran- Nowruz, India- Baisakhi, Bihu, Gudi Padwa, Vishu, Pohela Boishakh) and were reminded of the power of new beginnings.

This assembly set a positive tone for the rest of the school year, encouraging everyone to embrace change and growth

Std 4M's assembly on 'Character Matters - from Reel to Real' was pure magic! Real-life scenarios brought to life the importance of character in tough situations. From honesty to respect and individuality, each moment was a lesson. Iconic characters from reels like Harry Potter and Shrek as well iconic people from real life like Mahatma Gandhi, Oprah Winfrey, Cristiano Ronaldo shared insights on courage, honesty, respect, and kindness. It was a journey of learning and growth, showcasing universal values essential for success.

Well Done

The FSA club had organised a science workshop focussed on bubbles on 9th May 2024. Under the guidance of the science teachers, the Students of grade 11 explained the science behind bubble formation, and conducted experiments highlighting the parallels between the cell membrane and a bubble, and the concept of surface tension and bubble. Subsequently, the FSA club students of grade 8,9 and 10 engaged in hands-on experimentation and had a very enriching experience.

The grade 8 of The Cathedral and John Connon School attended an Exhibition called ‘Vaccines Injecting Hope’, at the Nehru Science Centre on the 5th of April 2024.

A total of 75 students and 6 teachers attended the exhibition. There were around 50 displays in total which included exhibits, installations and literature. The theme was centered around the role of vaccines in our world and the displays were organized very well starting with the evolution of microorganisms, the pandemics of the past, the role of vaccines in the past and present, how far vaccines have come scientifically and what can we achieve in the future. The volunteers explaining the displays were patient and knowledgeable giving our students an insight into the use of science and technology in the field of medicine. It was enriching experience.

Engaging with history and culture: On April 3, 2024, our Grade 9 ICSE and Grades 9 & 10 IGCSE students visited the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahlaya for an enriching day of experiential learning. They explored the intricate histories and cultures through the comparisons of civilizations, admired the finesse of miniature paintings, marveled at the diversity of textiles, and reflected on the British era in India. Our Biology students also benefited from the insightful taxidermy section. A day well spent in bridging past and present.
