Convent of Jesus and Mary International School, Kharghar, participated with great enthusiasm and distinction in St.
Anne’s Aurora 2026 – “Marvels of Nature,” an inter-school fest organised by St. Anne’s High School, Fort, on 30th
October 2026. The event brought together students from participating schools, providing a vibrant platform for
young minds to explore their abilities, showcase their talents and experience the spirit of healthy competition.
With a contingent of 75 enthusiastic participants from both the ICSE and State Board sections, CJM Kharghar made
its presence felt across a diverse range of literary, performing arts, fine arts and sporting events. The fest offered

The spirit of “Marvels of Nature” was reflected in the varied competitions, which encouraged imagination, artistic
expression, environmental awareness and physical agility. From literary presentations that gave voice to ideas and

perseverance and teamwork, every activity provided a valuable learning experience.
