• 3 desk top computers with UPs

Mr. Leo Pereira volunteered to sponsor those items. Today Mr Leo's son Mr. Ribeck Pereira handed over the items .

The pandemic has affected students greatly as all classroom learning have gone digital. After the online career guidance programme we conducted, and through some interactions with parents we noticed that many kids did not have dedicated devices for online study.

So naturally they fall behind in their studies as they simply cannot attend class. We requested Principal Sr. Arockia, along with class teachers to identify children based on their attendance in online class. They drew up a list of 21 children from classes V to X who needed the devices based on their online attendance pattern and economic status.

SSESA Secretary, Mr Vinay Pinto very happily sponsored brand new Lenovo and Samsung tab devices. We met all the kids 03 July 2021 through an interaction organised by Principal Sr. Arockia, and Vice Principal Felix and found all the kids were intelligent and eager to learn.

On June 12th, 2021, the St. Stanislaus Ex-Students Association (SSESA) & Vinay Pinto, Secretary SSESA organised a Career Guidance Programmes for Std. X students. The objective of the programme was to give the children an exposure to myriad real-life career options and show them the pathways to achieve success in each.

All the career talks were delivered by dynamic young ex-Stanislites who have demonstrated success in their field. The speakers were Brian Almeida on Marketing, Andrew Simoes on Human Resources, Dr. Ranjit Nair on Engineering & IT, Dr. Sailesh Advani on Medicine, Sumit Advani on Studying Abroad, Chef. Rohit D’Souza on Hospitality and Col. Asad Shaikh on a career in the Armed Forces. The programme was superbly moderated by Peter D’Souza.
