Staff Orientation Programme - Day 1

“Every new academic year holds new challenges, new avenues to explore and new opportunities to learn."

May 29th marked the first day of the Staff Orientation Programme for the new academic year 2023-2024 at Sophia. The programme took place at the Duchesne Hall and involved the entire staff of Sophia.

The event commenced with a Prayer Service led by the Sisters, followed by the introduction of the new staff members. Dr. Gururaj Karajagi, the spokesperson, delivered sessions on the topic “Education Unplugged.”.

His inspiring sessions left the staff motivated and ready to embark on the new academic year with a fresh mindset and a futuristic vision for their interactions with the students under their care.

In the afternoon, a small meeting was conducted by Sr. Madhuja, our Princiapal in Leans building. Sister warmly welcomed the new staff and initiated the meeting with a short prayer. She provided an overview of the rules and regulations that are to be followed throughout the new academic year 2023-2024.

The Staff Council meeting was held with both the old and new members. The orientation program commenced with the music department leading us in singing hymns, praising God.

Rev. Msgr. S. Jayanathan was the Speaker for the day. Father enlightened us about Divine rest, the dimension of human life, and the integration of mission. It was indeed an engaging and supportive session for all the staff. The programme culminated in expressing gratitude to Father.

Annual Road Race

"Green Race for a Blue Planet" was organized by the Sophia Sports department at Sophia High School on July 8th, 2023. It was not only a race but also a platform to support orphanages and old age homes. The event involved both students and members of the Sophia family, fostering a strong sense of community involvement and bonding.

Mr. Cyril Pereira, the PTA president, waved the flag to commence the race, and distributing prizes to the winners added to the excitement and motivation for all participants.

A Tribute to Sr. Usha

The passing away of our dear Sr. Usha, a beloved and caring figure who blessed every child who came her way, has left a lasting impact on Sophia High School. A wake service held in her honor at the Notre Dame Convent Chapel was a touching and meaningful tribute to her life and dedication.

The staff, students, parents, and family members came together to pay their final respects. May her memories continue to bring comfort and strength to all who knew and loved her. Rest in peace, dear Sr. Usha.

The Senior Sports Day was a remarkable event filled with energy, enthusiasm, and friendly competition. The aim of the day was to encourage participation in various sports activities and foster a sense of camaraderie among the senior students. The entire campus was adorned with decorations to enhance the celebration.

The day concluded on an exciting note, celebrating the achievements of the students and leaving everyone feeling inspired and accomplished. This positive atmosphere will undoubtedly resonate within the school campus for years to come.
