Schoolchildren blend R-Day festivity with sesquicentennial celebrations

MUMBAI: Seventeen schools in Bandra will join St Stanislaus High School to celebrate Republic Day on Saturday by participating in its grand inter-school parade.

St Stanislaus, a Jesuit institution of repute, is celebrating its sesquicentennial this year. The Hill Road rally will start at 7.15 am from Bandra police station and end at the school grounds with the flag-hoisting ceremony.

About 700 students from various schools in Bandra will join the march past. Some will also bring their marching bands. Jawans of the Rapid Action Force and the local police are also expected to join.

The deputy police commissioner will flag off a cycling event to spread the message of an eco-friendly environment. Parents will act as cheerleaders as students form a human chain.

The deputy director general of the Maharashtra NCC Directorate is the chief guest, owing to the fact that the NCC is responsible for creating awareness of the armed forces and motivating students towards a career in the military. He will hoist the flag and take the salute.

Local MP Priya Dutt, senior officials, school managers and staff along with the students will pledge allegiance to the nation and promise to protect women's rights. Spanish priests have contributed immensely towards St Stanislaus's development so the Consul General of Spain will be guest of honour.

The organisers say this has been done in keeping with the Rajpath traditions in New Delhi, to strengthen the bond between two organizations or nations. Three short cultural events will be presented by the schools to showcase India.
