Coming Up 'A' level 2025

A meeting of the School Development Board was convened on the 4th of June 2022. In addition to the board members, the Decennial Evaluation team from India was also in attendance. Given the increasing demand for an 'A' level school, the headmaster presented the proposal for consideration by the Board. The proposal was thoroughly discussed, and both the advantages and disadvantages of establishing an 'A' level school were examined. Following deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the commencement of the school. Interestingly, the same board had rejected this idea a couple of years ago. However, in light of the changing circumstances, it was determined that the proposal was now worth implementing. On the 7th of June, the headmaster and the Evaluation team met with the Bishop of Same, who expressed his support for the idea, citing the school's excellent reputation and the persistent requests from parents."

Our Boarding Facilities

We know that the students are away from their homes, and we strive to create a homely atmosphere in the boarding facility. The students are provided with all the necessary facilities to ensure their happiness and enable them to pursue their studies eagerly. We have spacious dormitories equipped with the required amenities for a comfortable stay. These dormitories are surrounded by trees, giving the blocks a garden-like appearance. The principle of "cleanliness is next to godliness" is diligently observed in the dormitories. The wardens are trained to be caring mentors, and measures are taken to prevent any misbehavior that could disrupt the students' joyful experiences on campus. The teachers also reside close to the students and are readily available whenever needed. A separate block is designated to store the students' belongings. They are taught to respect one another and safeguard each other's property.

In Philippians Chapter 2:14-15, the apostle Paul urges the believers in St. Paul to refrain from complaining or arguing in their actions, aiming for a blameless and pure life. By doing so, they can stand out as children of God, untainted by the corruption of their surroundings, shining like bright stars in the vast expanse of the universe. This exhortation emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive and virtuous demeanor amidst challenges, thereby reflecting the light of God's presence and principles to the world around them.

Cultivating Knowledge and Sustainability

The integration of agriculture in our school brings forth a multitude of benefits for our students, our school, and our wider community. Firstly, it provides our students with invaluable hands-on learning experiences, actively involving them in the entire food production process—from seed to harvest. Through these experiences, our students develop a profound understanding of the origins of food and acquire essential skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and responsibility. Furthermore, our agricultural programs instill a deep sense of environmental awareness and sustainability, teaching our students the significance of soil health, water conservation, and the preservation of biodiversity. By incorporating locally grown produce, we enhance the nutritional quality of our school meals, fostering healthier eating habits. Additionally, agriculture in our school promotes a strong sense of community engagement and a meaningful connection with nature, nurturing values of stewardship and respect for the environment. Lastly, our agricultural initiatives serve as a source of inspiration for potential future careers in the agricultural industry, ensuring the ongoing preservation and advancement of this vital sector within our community.
