Long-cherished dream realized

With great pride and pleasure, we, the privileged Alumni of Campion School, recorded here our appreciation and gratitude for the excellent ‘CAMPION SERVICE’ which had made us what we were at that time.

A long-cherished dream realized when the quadrangle facing the Golden Jubilee Building of Campion, almost half an acre, was transformed into an enclosure with the near comfort of an auditorium and the luxury of an indoor stadium. Every time the sun sent down its scorching rays and the pouring rain played spoil-sport when an activity was organized in the quadrangle, the Brothers, parents, staff, and students had raised a prayer to heaven for a miracle roof to save the day. Miracles still happened, except that we were oblivious to them when God’s power worked through His instruments of love and service. It was the Lord who had stirred the philanthropic spirit of COBA to answer this prayer.

This project had been mooted at the COBA AGM in July 2015, and the COBA Executive Committee had been commissioned to make a feasibility study and proceed with the execution of the project. COBA had whole-heartedly taken upon themselves this prestigious project and had decided to make it a reality by bringing it to fulfillment that year. The project, by God’s grace, had commenced in January 2016 and had been completed by May 2016.

Rising above the enclosing buildings, an arching roof had spread across to cover the quadrangle. It had been estimated that it had cost a crore and a half to complete the construction. There had been no doubt that the response to this call to COBA members to contribute towards this blessing to our Alma Mater had been overwhelming. We had been happy to be part of this answered prayer and had further regarded it as an opportunity to share in the growth of this wonderful institution that had nurtured us and would continue to mold generations to come.

The construction had been completed, and it was handed over to the school on Saturday, the 12th of January 2019.
