Visit to the Jain Temple:-

On 30 August, 2014 the Jain Students of Good Shepherd Finishing School visited the Jain Temple in Ooty, to complete their pious ritual, marking the end of PARYUSHANA (the eighth Holy Day for Jains).

They felt grateful and blessed to have been able to visit the JAIN Temple on their auspicious day. 

Workshop on Interior Design:-


On the eve of 03 September, 2014 the Principal Mrs. Elsamma Thomas, conducted a workshop on “INTERIOR DESIGNING”. It was an informative hour for us, as we got to learn about how essential the colours of the walls, the furniture, designing and other little and small things count towards making a GOOD HOME or even a room for that matter. The excellent opportunity taught us about the DO’s and Dont’s for decorating our homes. We got to know that even small things like flower vases, curtains, or book shelves add in to the splendor of the interiors of our rooms. It was a very interactive and informative session.


Workshop on Vegetable Carving:-

The VEGETABLE CARVING workshop that was conducted for the 9 Months students at Good Shepherd Finishing School left us all spell bound at this Simple yet time indulging art of Vegetable Carving. The workshop was conducted by Mr. Udaya Sankar Shadananan, and the simple ways in which he taught us to shape a variety of garnishes was simply amazing.

Thus the workshop motivated the students to pick up well on the skills of Vegetable Carving.
