The
students of Class 3 presented their much-awaited annual show, Kaleidoscope
of Chronicles, on 26th August 2025 — a vibrant celebration of imagination,
values, and creativity. The program was graced by our esteemed Principal, Br.
Robert, our revered Community Leader, Br. Agnelo, along with the Section Heads
of the Senior and Middle School. The event was judged by Mrs. Rama Sikka, a
seasoned academician with over four decades of service to education, and Mrs.
Placi Rodrigues, a dedicated teacher from the Convent of Jesus and Mary.
A
defining feature of the show was its narrative thread: a lively storyteller and
a curious little child guided the audience through each performance, seamlessly
weaving the stories together like shifting patterns in a kaleidoscope.
The
stage sparkled with four delightful enactments. Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory reminded us of the importance of humility and the
sweetness of simplicity. Robin Hood celebrated justice and
fairness in the green depths of Sherwood Forest. Encanto brought
alive the power of self-belief and perseverance within the bonds of family.
Finally, Tom Sawyer highlighted intelligence and curiosity
through his mischievous adventures. Each central character carried a value we
hope every Columban child will embody — creativity, fairness, humility,
perseverance, self-belief, and intelligence.
Interspersed
between the plays, the audience enjoyed soulful instrumental medleys of
patriotic tunes by our talented Western Music teacher, Mr. Vernan, and Indian
Music teacher, Mr. Shahnawaz — melodies that stirred both nostalgia and pride.
In
his address, Principal Br. Robert praised the young performers and highlighted
the timeless values reflected in each story — humility, courage, fairness,
perseverance, and creativity — values essential for shaping character and
nurturing responsible global citizens.
The
program concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks delivered by the Junior Wing
Headmistress, Mrs. Kaushal, who commended the efforts of students, teachers,
and parents in making the show a memorable success.
Kaleidoscope
of Chronicles was
more than an annual show; it was a celebration of stories, values, and the
spirit of learning — leaving the audience inspired and proud of the young
Columbans.
