The formal function opened with a graceful prayer dance, creating a serene atmosphere. The gathering was then welcomed and blessed by the Manager, Fr. Alex John D’Souza, whose blessings added spiritual depth to the event. This was followed by the felicitation of the Manager, Principal, and the entire teaching and non-teaching staff, appreciating their dedication and hard work. The school magazine was then released, followed by the crowning of Mr. and Ms. Marian. The Annual Report was read by the Principal, Mrs. Melba Vas, and the formal programme concluded with a vote of thanks.

In between the programmes, solo and duet singing accompanied by student musicians added rhythm and charm to the evening. Food stalls, game counters, creativity stalls, and the lively performance by the Black Eagles Band kept the campus buzzing with excitement. The open ground turned into a joyful space for dance and celebration, making the evening a memorable expression of Marian spirit, unity, and joy.
