Shri. Eduardo Faleiro Visits Academy

We were privileged to have Shri Eduardo Faleiro, Commissioner for NRI Affairs visit our school on the morning on April 9th 2011. His contribution to Goa and our country makes us proud and is an outstanding example for our youth to emulate. As he went around the school, Shri Faleiro was deeply appreciative of the efforts of the Management of Vidya Vikas Mandal and repeatedly mentioned that schools across the country should be of the standard and have the infrastructure and ambience of Vidya Vikas Academy. Shri Eduardo Faleiro was later felicitated at a function to mark the 75th Birth Anniversary of the late Shri H. M. N. Gaunekar, Founder President of Vidya Vikas Mandal.

Light it up BLUE!

Every year April 02nd is observed as Autism Awareness Day , a day that shines a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis. We at Vidya Vikas Academy also joined hands to observe this awareness day on April 02nd 2011. The Principal, Vice Principal and all the staff members joined this campaign as they dressed up in shades of blue to show their concern and sensitivity towards the growing health crises of Autism.

The school entrance was decorated with blue balloons and ribbons. Charts were displayed which focused on first hand information about Autism in order to sensitize and make all the students and staff aware of the global health crises. Special Education Teachers, Mrs. Mamta Honnavar and Mrs. Tanula Cotta e Fernandes coordinated the event.
