The 78th Independence Day was celebrated on the St.Xavier’s High School Loyola Hall Ahmedabad campus with the Flag Hoisting at 8 am followed by a program by the students and then it was time for the traditional APX (Association of Past Xavierites) Vs School Team Football match. This is an annual feature and the experienced ones prevailed over the energetic ones 4-2, the game split into two halves of 35 min each on the football field.

The alumni/ae, staff and students, management, parents and benefactors partake in the program and make it more fulfilling and meaningful.

"Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny. Now the time has come when we shall redeem our pledge - not wholly or in full measure - but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance."

Happy Independence Day to all & wishing a Happy Navroze to all celebrating —Team APX
