Cathedral School Celebrates 165 Years with History Wall
A very old school in Mumbai, called Cathedral & John Connon School, is celebrating its 165th birthday.
To mark this special occasion, the school has put up a big wall in its lobby that tells the story of the school's journey from 1719 until now.
The wall shows how the school started as a choir school for boys and has changed over time to include girls and modern facilities like robotic labs.
The school has also started a kindness initiative where students do good deeds and help others.
Additionally, a book about the school's history has been updated with new information.
The wall and the initiatives are meant to remind everyone of the school's rich history and the values it stands for.
Cathedral & John Connon School in Mumbai celebrated its 165th anniversary by unveiling a 'history wall' in its lobby.
The history wall, designed by alumni architects, chronicles the school's journey from 1719 to the present, showing its evolution from an all-boys choir school to a modern institution.
The school launched a '165 Acts of Kindness' initiative to encourage students to engage in compassionate activities and give back to society.
A book about the school's history, originally published in 2010, was revised and updated to include additional details for the 165th-anniversary celebration.
The history wall features objects representing the school's spirit, such as old report cards, medals, uniforms, and house flags, to highlight its legacy and traditions.
