“Memories to Cherish, Moments to Treasure”
On November 29, 2024, the eagerly anticipated School Picnic day finally arrived, and the Montfortians embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the breathtaking Glaze Brook Estate. As they entered this picturesque setting, the excitement was palpable.
The day commenced with a brief prayer service and a meeting with the Bro.Principal, who provided instructions to the picnic groups. With students from grades 3 to 12 in attendance, the picnic served as a celebration of unity and camaraderie. The location for each group was meticulously planned, with grades 3 to 6 grouped together and grades 7 to 12 separated, while girls were also grouped separately. Subsequently, the juniors and girls traveled by bus halfway to the destination, while the senior students traversed the remaining distance on foot, enjoying the scenic vistas along the way.
Upon arriving at this serene haven, the excitement was palpable. The adage “The best view comes after the hardest climb” resonated with their minds. A small supply of snacks was provided to the students during their journey, providing them with a much-needed energy boost.
Upon arrival, they partook in a refreshing snack and tea, followed by an array of engaging games. Kabaddi, tug of war, passing the cap, passing the ball, and bursting balloons were organized by the staff. The infectious excitement and laughter filled the air as the picnic groups bonded over friendly competitions. Despite the slight drizzle, the students’ spirits remained unbroken.
The highlight of the day was the delectable lunch, which was savored by students and teachers alike. As they dined, the gentle drizzle added to the cozy ambiance.
The afternoon was replete with music, dance, and further games. The students’ faces lit up with joy as they immersed themselves in the festivities.
Overwhelmed with joy, their laughter was contagious. It was heartwarming to witness them unwind and enjoy a delightful day! A respite from their rigorous academic schedule was precisely what they needed. As the day drew to a close, after a refreshing tea break, the group reluctantly bid farewell to the serene surroundings. The bus ride back to school was filled with chatter and laughter, as they relived the highlights of the picnic—an adventure filled with unforgettable memories. The School Picnic transcended a mere day out; it was a celebration of friendship, teamwork, and the Montfortian spirit. As they resumed their routine lives, all carried with them cherished memories and moments to treasure.
