On Saturday, 4th July 2026, St. Mary’s School ICSE & ISC, Mazagaon, proudly hosted the 12th edition of Immaculata 2026, our annual inter-school festival, under the theme “LVL UP.” Bringing together 18 schools, the festival provided young minds with a platform to showcase their talents across Literary Arts, Performing Arts, Fine Arts and Sports, fostering creativity, teamwork and leadership.
We were honoured to welcome Vice Admiral Rahul Vilas Gokhale, Chief of Staff, Western Naval Command and a distinguished alumnus of St. Mary’s School, as our Chief Guest. In his inspiring address, he encouraged students to embrace continuous growth and serve with purpose. Drawing from the Chetwode Credo, the guiding philosophy of the Indian Military Academy, he reflected on its enduring principles of nation before self, service before personal interest, leadership through sacrifice and responsibility towards those under one’s command. He reminded students that these values are not only the foundation of military leadership but also serve as guiding principles for responsible leadership in every walk of life.
A special highlight of this year’s festival was the Indian Navy Pavilion, where students interacted with naval officers, explored modern naval equipment and gained valuable insights into career opportunities in the armed forces.
The festival concluded on a high note, where Campion School emerged as the Champions. J.B.Petit High School was declared the First Runners-up, while J.B Vachha High School secured the position of Second Runners-up.
More than a competition, Immaculata 2026 reaffirmed our commitment to nurturing young leaders who strive for excellence, uphold strong values and are prepared to make a meaningful difference in society.
