St. Teresa’s Institute of Education had a grand celebration of Teacher’s day on 5th September 2022. Event was conducted under the guidance of Principal Dr. Sr. Tanuja Waghmare. In all there were 62 attendees including 49 Students and 13 staff members.
Objectives of the celebration were to honour and show gratitude towards teachers and all faculty members of the Institute for supporting and guiding students in their journey, to encourage the students for participation and showcasing their talents through the programme and also to pay homage to our 2nd president, great teacher, philosopher “Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.”
The event proved to be the greatest and the biggest event our college has ever witnessed. The day began with a prayerful atmosphere where mass was celebrated at the chapel. Just before the event started all the students had the lamps lit and were waiting in the corridor for the teachers. A path of light was symbolized by the students. A wonderful introduction was given of the teachers. A skit was then enacted which focused upon the importance of teachers in life. Many famous personalities were introduced in the skit where they showed the respect they had for the teacher and how the teacher changed their lives forever.
Games were organized for the teachers where they were given some items and they had to style a volunteer with those accessories. The event was lightened up more due to the dance performance where the students dedicated a particular song to every teacher. Guess the song game was played, where they had to guess the song by looking at the picture on the screen. Another game was introduced that is of eating hide and seek biscuits and keeping the last strip of the biscuit. The teachers were felicitated for their hard work with gifts by the students. The video was played where the family members of the teachers expressed their gratitude towards them. It was certainly a very heartwarming moment for all. There were tears of joy in all of their eyes while they saw their family members showering their love through a video.
Some teachers then thanked the students for conducting the whole event so well. They also gave wonderful feedback on the event. The principal then gave a talk and acknowledged the hard work of all the students who gave their very best for the event. The vote of thanks was given by a council member who thanked everyone in a very special way. The event came to an end by singing the national anthem and the college anthem. The event was indeed a great success.
