ORIENTATION FOR CLASS IX-XII STUDENTS AT PATHALIAGHAT
An enriching and lively
Orientation Programme was organized for the students of Classes IX to XII at
St. Xavier’s Higher Secondary School, Pathaliaghat on 10th and 11th July 2025.
The programme was aimed at motivating and preparing students for their academic
journey and personal growth, equipping them with values, life skills, and
strategies to face challenges confidently. The sessions were animated by two
dynamic and experienced resource persons from Don Bosco Institute (DBI),
Guwahati – Fr. Cletus SDB, and Mr. Ravi.
The orientation began with a warm
welcome address by Fr. K.K. Joseph, who set the tone for the day by emphasizing
the importance of self-awareness, discipline, and purpose-driven education. The
resource persons were given a hearty welcome by the staff and students prior to
the start of the session. A total of 280 students from Classes IX and X
enthusiastically participated in the programme. The sessions were a fine blend
of songs, dances, party games, group discussions, interactive inputs, and
motivational talks. Fr. Cletus and Mr. Ravi created a joyful and engaging
environment that enabled students to open up, interact, and reflect
meaningfully on important life themes.
The second day of orientation was
conducted for students of Classes XI and XII. A total of 231 students attended
the sessions. The programme commenced with a welcome address by Fr. Babu
Stephen, who acknowledged the presence of the resource persons and the senior
students. The sessions focused on a variety of themes relevant to senior
students, including preparation for board exams, time management, building
resilience, emotional well-being, and goal setting. A creative mix of video
clippings, inspirational songs, energizers, dances, and team activities kept
the students deeply involved and inspired throughout the day.
The entire orientation programme
was characterized by a dynamic and participatory approach, which made learning
joyful and impactful. Students expressed their heartfelt gratitude and shared
how meaningful and enjoyable the sessions were. We extend our sincere thanks to
Fr. Cletus, and Mr. Ravi for animating our students over the two days with
their rich insights, motivational presence, and interactive style.
The orientation helped students

academic and personal challenges with positivity and determination. Such
initiatives continue to build the character and competence of the students of
St. Xavier’s School, enabling them to grow into confident, value-oriented
individuals.
