9th April 2022 witnessed an emotional adieu to Mrs. Kalpana Patel and Mrs. Tuli Harbindar as they got retired from their long services in the institution.
Mrs. Kalpana in her long term contribution of 37 years has executed the toughest tasks with full loyalty, dedication and determination, got adapted to many changes over the years and countless sacrifices of her personal when the job demanded her attention. She had the privilege to work with Rev. Sr. Hope, the first Principal of our school. Likewise, Mrs. Tuli too has put over 20 years of service with full sincerity and dedication, serving and counselling generations, despite her health issues, personal obligations and various challenges.
Such great ‘gurus’, surely deserved a grand farewell celebration which would be an unforgettable event for them. It was quite a challenging task for everyone as they wanted to put up the best. The programme began with a grand welcome to both our retiring mentors followed by lighting of the lamp and prayer service. A performance depicting their work tasks during their tenure at school was highlighted. Later, they were felicitated by the School Management with shawls and gifts and cake-cutting. Then began the electrifying performance by our students which included a skit. Too overpowered with emotions was our Principal, Rev. Sr. Juanita, when in her speech, she formally highlighted the hard efforts put up by Mrs. Kalpana when the school was still under construction on a barren land. She thanked them whole heartily and expressed that their absence at school would be felt all the time. Same was the state of our teachers, when they had to express their gratitude towards the retiring colleagues. Truly an emotional farewell! The programme ended with dance and grand lunch.
