It is said that the greatest need of a person in life is the
feeling of ‘being wanted’ and ‘being noticed’. Children long to be wanted,
shown affection and appreciated. Children’s Day celebrated all over India is an
attempt in this regard.
At Good Shepherd Finishing School, we celebrated
Children’s Day in an entertaining and memorable manner. The regular assembly
was conducted by the Staff members at GSFS. The Children’s Day message was
delivered by the Dean Ms Neetha Nataraj. In her message she mentioned that Children’s
Day is a day to engage in fun and frolic. But it is not just that. This day
reminds everyone to renew their promise towards the welfare of the children and
to teach them to live like children and for grown-ups it is an occasion for
them to re-connect with their inner child.
She added that, Children constitute the greatest asset of
a nation. A nation prospers or progresses to the extent where it is able to
develop the hidden potential lying untapped in her children. In a country like
India, where children constitute a good percentage of the population, we need
to give more
attention to their all-round development. A day like Children’s Day is a right
step in this direction. The day invites all of us to give children their
due-love, affection and opportunities for development. Children’s Day also
reminds us of the rights of children.
The Faculty members wished the ‘GSFS children’ on the day which was followed by an entertainment Programme.The trip to GSIS and the fruitful time spent to celebrate the day, made it an unforgettable experience.
