Thank You to the Volunteers at Don Bosco School

This academic year we were fortunate to have volunteer teaching professionals from Austria visiting our school campus to share their professional expertise.

First we had, Mrs. Sigrid and Mr. George who spent a few weeks in our school, before volunteering at other Don Bosco institutes. While Mr. George worked with students in the science lab, teaching our students practical tasks like building electric circuits, Mrs. Sigrid volunteered with the primary school. A memorable moment was when she spent time teaching German to some of our students.

Dr. Sonja Hanappi Mersits conducted a training workshop for our teachers. She also met with Class 9 students and spoke about Austria. She shared photographs and cultural information about Austria which gave our students great insight into her country.

Ms. Lavanika conducted a series of group sessions on different issues ranging from peer pressure to coping with exam stress along with topics that were requested for by our students. She also had individual counseling session with students.
