As the pleasant winds of October arrive, Symbiosis Convent High School & Junior College, Kausa, Thane, welcomes another month filled with learning, reflection, and awareness. This month is marked by a series of important national and international observances that help our students understand and appreciate the values of peace, discipline, compassion, and patriotism.
While October brings with it several significant days, it also comes close to the examination season. Hence, our focus this time will be on informing students about the importance of these days through assemblies rather than conducting full-fledged activities. This balanced approach ensures that students stay informed and inspired while maintaining their academic focus.

- 2nd October 2025 – Gandhi Jayanti & Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti (Dussehra Celebration)

The importance of Dussehra will also be highlighted as a festival symbolizing the victory of good over evil. - 3rd October 2025 – World Animal Welfare Day
Students will learn about compassion and kindness towards animals, understanding their role in maintaining the ecological balance. - 8th October 2025 – Indian Air Force Day

“Write with focus, think with clarity, shine with confidence.”
This reflects our school’s commitment to holistic education—helping students grow not just academically, but also as responsible, thoughtful, and confident individuals.
Upcoming Schedule
