Synergy 2.0 – Parents Sports Meet

The Parents Sports Meet – “Synergy 2.0” was organized by Don Bosco English Medium School, Shirva, on 8th November 2025 at the school ground.

The event aimed to foster a stronger sense of community and connection among parents, students, and the school management. It also sought to promote fitness, teamwork, and healthy competition within the parent community.

The meet commenced with a formal inauguration ceremony, graced by Mr. Ganesh Nayak, Businessman, Shirva, as the Chief Guest, along with Very Rev. Dr. Leslie Clifford D’Souza, Correspondent, Don Bosco & St. Mary’s Institutions; Mrs. Anitha Priya D’Souza, President of the Parent-Teacher Association; and Rev. Fr.
