Description:
"Colours speak louder than words, In laughter, in joy, in festive chords. With every hue, a story’s spun, Holi unites us, making hearts one."
The day began with excitement as boarders gathered outside the dining area, eager to embrace the spirit of Holi. Mr. Paul Singh set the tone for the celebrations with a heartfelt message on the festival’s significance. Each student received packets of colors from the school, and soon, the second field transformed into a vibrant canvas of bright hues and beaming faces.
Amidst the joyful splashes of colour, laughter echoed as students captured the moment in a fun class photoshoot. The celebration reached new heights at the basketball court, where music filled the air, setting the perfect mood for an electrifying dance session. Br. Hector, perched above with his drone, documented the energy and enthusiasm of the festival from a breathtaking perspective.
After refreshing and changing into their house vests, the boarders indulged in a delicious festive lunch, lovingly prepared by Mr. Yogen Sir and his team. But the excitement didn’t end there! The afternoon brought an action-packed inter-house tournament, featuring thrilling games tailored for each division—street cricket for seniors, dodgeball for middle school students, and football for the juniors.
The competition was fierce, and the results were exhilarating: Yellow House dominated in street cricket and dodgeball, while Red House triumphed in football. As a well-earned reward, the victorious teams enjoyed a special cake after dinner, adding a sweet touch to their triumph.
The day concluded on a heartwarming note as boarders connected with their families, sharing the joy and excitement of the festivities over the phone. The Holi celebrations at Goethals Memorial School beautifully encapsulated the essence of the festival—unity, happiness, and togetherness—creating an unforgettable experience for all.
