PAST PUPILS MEET - BARODA

PAST PUPILS MEET - BARODA

  “Reunions remind us that while time may pass, the bonds we share never fade.” On August 15, 2025, the spirit of camaraderie and joy filled the air as around 40 past pupils of Auxilium Baroda reunited for a memorable evening at 4 p.m.

The gathering began with lively informal interactions, rekindling bonds and memories. Ms. Aarti Bhaduria, President of the Past Pupils Association, warmly welcomed everyone and set the tone for the evening.                    

     The evening continued with a special tree plantation drive, in collaboration with the Vadodara Garden Lovers’ Association. Past pupils actively participated in planting saplings, honoring the tireless efforts of Mr. Ashwin Yadav and his team in promoting environmental sustainability.

Adding further depth to the evening, renowned clinical psychologist and proud alumna Ms. Vaidharbi Trivedi conducted an insightful session on mental health. Blending engaging presentations, interactive games, and self-reflective exercises, she guided participants on the importance of emotional well-being, letting go of the past, and embracing the future with hope and resilience.

The event concluded on a gracious note, with a sincere vote of thanks by Ms. Bhaduria, expressing deep appreciation to all present and reaffirming the promise to reunite again.

    Sr. Philomena Lobo, the delegate of the association, graciously introduced the school manager, Sr. Philomena D’Souza, along with other sisters present. She then addressed the gathering with a honest reflection on the true meaning of freedom—not merely as a right, but a true responsibility. She urged everyone to embody civic values, integrity, and commitment, all of which are essential to building a truly free nation. Drawing on the year's strenna, “Pilgrims of Hope,” she encouraged everyone to become beacons of hope, nurturing life in their communities.
