Udupi, Nov 5: Curiosity and questioning are natural traits in childhood, and schools play a vital role in nurturing them by organising various programmes that offer students opportunities to explore and showcase their talents.

Addressing the students after inaugurating the science exhibition ‘Curio’ at Mount Rosary English Medium School, Santhekatte, alumna Meghana Acharya emphasised that active participation in such creative activities lays a strong foundation for future intellectual growth.

Meghana Acharya, a former student of Mount Rosary and currently an IT Head in Bengaluru, fondly recalled the numerous opportunities provided by the institution during her school days. Other alumni, Bharath Shanubhoge, a medical student from Vijayapura, and Anvitha Poojary, pursuing her postgraduate studies in cardiology at Manipal, served as guests of honor for the event.

Presiding over the function, school correspondent Dr Rock D’Souza stated that scientific research and discoveries are continuously shaping the world. He stressed that dedication is essential to achieve human and environmental progress through science. “Today’s resource persons are the school’s own alumni who have excelled in the field of science, and their presence will surely inspire the younger generation,” he said.

School principal Sr Ancilla highlighted how simple science models created by students at the school level have often become the basis for real-world inventions and high-demand technologies, citing several contemporary examples.

Student Pujan explained the significance of National Science Day. The programme began with a welcome by Shlok, compered by Vamik, and concluded with a vote of thanks by Dhruvika.

The exhibition featured a total of 638 science models, creatively presented and explained by the students in a simple and engaging manner. Science teachers Lavina, Sara, Divyajyoti, Milana, Mamatha, and Soujanya coordinated the event successfully.
