‘We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into a reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self – discipline and effort.’ – Jesse Owens.
The Annual Athletic Meet of the primary section of St. Stanislaus High School was held on 11th January ‘2025 on the school grounds.

Charmaine Pereira, I.G.C.S.E Principal Mr. Montywn D’Costa and K.G Supervisor Mrs. Natasha Rodrigues.
The meet began with a vibrant march past by the boys of Std. IV trained by Mr. Sagar Parab, the physical education master of the school. The school captain said the sportsman prayer while the sports captain took the sportsman oath. The salute of the march past was taken by Mr. Dharmai who also declared the sports meet open. This was followed by a spectacular drill display by the boys of Std. 3 under the guidance of Trs. Jenisa, Lorna and Lufthancia.
The boys were all ready to put their best foot forward and run the races as they were trained by their teachers. Keeping the theme in mind ‘Fun with Toys’ races were planned and executed to perfection. The teachers were assisted by Ms. Ann and her team at the finish line. The winners received medals of gold, silver or bronze accordingly. The champion runner of the primary section was decided in a Runathon.
Not forgetting our parents, a game was organized for them to which the children cheered aloud. A game for the teachers and peons was conducted which excited the boys and they motivated their teachers through their cheering.
The guest of honour Mrs. Dharmai addressed the gathering through a motivational speech. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not giving it. The vote of thanks was given by the headmistress Mrs. Raynah Lemos. The exhilarating and triumphant meet ended with the singing of the school anthem.
The students enjoyed themselves thoroughly and this was reflected in their overwhelming shouts of hip, hip, hooray. All went back home with a feeling of contentment.
