St. Xavier’s Higher Secondary School, Pathaliaghat, organised an Orientation Programme for the students of Class XII on 12 November 2026, with the objective of guiding and motivating them to make informed decisions about their future careers and higher education. The sessions were conducted by Ms. Feny Laloo and Ms. Julie Phawa from Don Bosco College, Byndihati. The programme was organised in two separate classrooms, enabling the resource persons to interact with the students in smaller groups and address their individual concerns. Both resource persons delivered well-prepared and informative presentations, introducing the students to various career opportunities and higher education courses. They emphasised the importance of choosing the right course and career path according to one's interests, abilities, aspirations, and future goals. They also highlighted the need for proper planning, dedication, hard work, and smart decision-making in shaping a successful future. The students were also introduced to Don Bosco College, Byndihati, its academic programmes, courses offered, facilities, and the various opportunities and privileges available to students studying at the institution. The presentations helped them gain a clearer understanding of the possibilities available after completing their Class XII examinations. The interactive sessions were particularly engaging, as students listened attentively, actively participated, and clarified many of their doubts by asking questions. The resource persons encouraged them to be confident, focused, disciplined, and hardworking in pursuing their dreams. The students expressed their appreciation and gratitude to Ms. Julie Phawa and Ms. Feny Laloo for their valuable guidance and inspiring presentations. The school management also extended its sincere thanks to both resource persons and Don Bosco College, Byndihati, for taking the initiative to guide and motivate the young learners. The orientation programme proved to be an informative and encouraging experience for the Class XII students, helping them reflect on their future choices with greater clarity and confidence.
