Karkala, Jan 24: The annual day celebrations of the lower and higher primary sections of Christ King English Medium School were held in a grand manner on January 23 and 24 at the institution’s newly constructed auditorium.

On January 23, during the lower primary section’s annual day, Fr (Dr) Canute Barboza, parish priest of Miyar Church, Karkala was the chief guest. Addressing the gathering, he said, “It is the primary responsibility of parents to create an environment where children can spend their childhood happily without pressure. Keep children happy and let them grow in happiness.”

During the higher primary section’s annual day, the chief guest was Fr Milton Fernandes, principal of Don Bosco High School, Mulladka.
