In addition, dance and elocution are also a major part of the school assembly to highlight physical and mental fitness respectively.
Some of our teachers have been teaching traditional Indian games to our students, integrating it with their academic curriculum. Its very encouraging to see our students play Kabadi during their break time. Students also have ready access to skipping ropes during their recess time.
The “Fitness Pledge” is:
“I promise to myself that I will devote time for physical activity and sports every day and I will encourage my family members and neighbours to be physically fit and make India a fit nation.”
We hope that the Fit India Movement activities at Don Bosco School will continue to inspire students, staff and parents to stay fit and healthy.
