Renowned event manager, director, and producer Elric D’Souza, known for curating world-class events, returned to his roots with the support of a dynamic alumni team comprising Prakash Joukani, Sanjeev Mehra, Erfan Haque, Sanjeev Chopra, Rajpal Navalkar, Chand Seth, Sunil Bhagwanani, and Vivek Suri. Together, they orchestrated an extraordinary All-Batch Alumni Reunion at the St. Theresa’s High School quadrangle in Bandra.
The event brought together approximately 300 alumni who reconnected and reminisced about their school days. Theresians from across India, the United States, Hong Kong, Australia, the UK, and the Gulf made special trips to attend the celebration.
The reunion was graced by distinguished alumni, including celebrated choreographer Terence Lewis, award-winning film director Ashutosh Gowariker, actors Javed Jaffrey and Naved Jaffrey, veteran actor Pankaj Dheer, stand-up comedian Atul Khatri, and music composer Milind Srivastava of the famed Anand-Milind duo, among others.
A highlight of the evening was the heartfelt tribute to the school’s educators. Teachers were honored for their unwavering dedication, with former teacher Moraes, now 85, sharing his inspiring life story. “I feel young because I don’t conform to society’s expectations of the elderly to retire. I continue to follow my own path and am still active in another field,” the vibrant octogenarian shared. A moving homage was also paid to the late hockey coach, Sir Oliver Andrade, whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
The organizers announced that the reunion would now be an annual event, with the next gathering scheduled for December 20, 2025.
St. Theresa’s High School, founded in 1952 by the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) Fathers, continues to uphold its motto, “Je choisis tout” (French for “I choose all”), reflecting the holistic and ambitious spirit of its students and alumni.
