On the auspicious occasion of World Book Day and the birth anniversary of legendary playwright William Shakespeare, St. Augustine’s Day School, Barrackpore, organized a series of engaging, immersive, and thought-provoking events across all sections to foster a lifelong love for reading and literature.
The students of Classes XI and XII presented an insightful session titled “MYRIAD – Minded Shakespeare”, exploring powerful, timeless themes from his iconic tragedies, specifically Julius Caesar and Macbeth. The presentations were highly creative, innovative, and reflective of a deep, advanced understanding of Shakespearean literature.
The competitive event was brilliantly moderated by Baibhabi Majumder (Class XII), whose exceptional wit and intelligence kept the session lively and engaging. A distinguished panel evaluated the presentations:
| Position | Student Names | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Position | Gairik Ghosh & Sayantani Sadhukhan | Class XI |
| 2nd Position | Agnijita Chakraborty, Ishiqa Sarkar & Chandrayi Chakraborty | Class XII |
| 3rd Position | Bikram Kar, Shayak De & Ivana Nag | Class XI |
Alongside the main presentation session, special assemblies were conducted across intermediate classes. Students explored Shakespeare’s life and legacy, recited his famous sonnets, shared "Thoughts for the Day" from his plays, and brought his historic quotes to life.
World Book Day was celebrated with equal enthusiasm in the primary section. Young learners proudly brought their favorite storybooks to school and actively participated in vibrant classroom activities. They eagerly spoke about their favorite authors, books, and characters, and even read selected lines aloud to share the joy of reading with their classmates.
Teachers guided meaningful discussions on how regular reading enhances imagination, upgrades core vocabulary, and inspires creativity, setting a foundational baseline for their growth.
