Soccer is not about one person (individual) who is leading a team or the highest wicket-taker, run scorer in a Cricket match that leads his team to a victory — it’s about a TEAM, where everyone gets an equal chance to score a goal depending on their individual skills. »

Office goals are mental and soccer goals are more physical, but the objective of both the entities remains the same i.e to win collectively and perform fairly.

This year it was something different as a great initiative was taken by the principal Rev. Father Sebastian James S.J. to include an INTER-SCHOOL STAFF FOOTBALL tournament. This tournament not only gave the opportunity to six schools to have a healthy competition but also a wonderful platform for the staff to showcase their talent in the game.Teachers from different schools around the city participated.
