It began as a primary school in 1940, and a secondary section was founded in 1962. One feature is the regular staging of British operas by the students.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> ===Establishment of primary school===<br /> <br /> Our Lady of Salvation School was started by Msgr. George Fernandes on 6 June 1940 in a small room at Mohammed Mansion, Gokhale Road, South, Dadar (w) for the upliftment of the poor and the marginalized boys from the [[wadi]]s of Dadar. After Msgr. George&#039;s transfer, Msgr, F.X. Vaz took over the school as a [[Parochial school|parish school]]. Later, Mrs. Elizabeth D&#039;Souza (then Mrs. Elizabeth Lobo) took over from Ms. Ida Lawrence and was headmistress for ten years. Mrs. Cissy Mendonca was appointed [[Head teacher|Headmistress]] around June 1950. By now, the school was shifted to two rooms in Ekbal building. Later, when the Dadar Convent shifted to a new school building at [[Prabhadevi]], the primary school occupied the building next to the [[Church (building)|church]]. In 1962, an application was made to the [[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)|education department]] to start a secondary school to meet the needs of the growing number of children. On 10 June 1962, the secondary section started and was named Our Lady of Salvation High School.<br /> <br /> ===Establishment of secondary school===<br /> <br /> The first principals of the secondary school were Fr. Phillip D&#039;Souza, Fr. Michael Paes, Fr. Valerian Godinho and Fr. Noel Britto. On 16 March 1968, the [[Congregation of Christian Brothers|Christian Brothers]] were given charge of the school. The first principal was Br. J.A.McPhilemy, and he was joined by Br. M.D. Curran and Br. L. Mousely. To build up the self-esteem and self-confidence of the poor boys, Br. Curran staged an [[opera]], &#039;[[The Mikado]]&#039;. After that, operas have been staged at regular intervals. Br. Sebastian George is currently the principal.<br /> <br /> ==Annual activities==<br /> <br /> Although located in a lower [[Middle class|middle income]] area where the idea of an opera was unfamiliar to many, the school has produced [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] operas year after year successfully performed by students with a minimal background of English music, customs, traditions or the English language itself.<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Maharashtra}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://salvationschool.8m.com School website]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Congregation of Christian Brothers secondary schools]]<br /> [[Category:Primary schools in India]]<br /> [[Category:Christian schools in Maharashtra]]<br /> [[Category:High schools and secondary schools in Mumbai]]<br /> [[Category:Educational institutions established in 1940]]<br /> [[Category:1940 establishments in India]]</div>
