Season's Greetings & A Very Happy 2017! While interacting with the young Goldcrestians, after the Diwali break it was heartening to know that the students had celebrated a pollution-free Diwali in cognizance with the theme 'Celebrating Human Rights'. Every human has an inalienable right to live in a clean and healthy environment. Through project GEO, Goldcrest high, Vashi continuously cares for the environment and is actively working towards nurturing and safe guarding it. The practices for the annual concert commenced with great enthusiasm to put a spectacular and memorable show. The annual concert received huge accolades and appreciation in regard to the spell- binding performances and the profoundness of the theme, 'Celebration of Human Rights.' The various rights woven into the theme of the concert were intended to spread knowledge that human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, to understand gender equality and equal opportunities for all, to respect, understand, and appreciate other religions and culture and to promote democracy, development, communal harmony, solidarity, and appreciation towards the knowledge and respect of rights that students gained from the theme, combined with understanding, respect and tolerance for difference, will empower them to tackle prejudice, improve relationships and make the most of their lives. Looking forward to a year of new beginnings and achievements!
