Assembly 21 October

ASSEMBLY – 21 OCTOBER

 

We commence the assembly by acknowledging DIWALI

DIWALI

Diwali, also known as Deepavali [literally means a row of lights] and the “festival of lights”, is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year and a time filled with light and love, when Indians all over the world would rejoice. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.

We wish all our boys , staff and parents a blessed time as they celebrate the holy festival of Diwali next week
