Principal Report
Dear Parents, Guardians, Friends and Students,
Navigating high school is a collaborative journey. It requires the College, parents, guardians and students to all be working together to achieve the best outcomes for all of our students. It is not only a place for education but also a platform for personal growth and preparation for the future.
Parents and guardians play an indispensable role in a student’s high school journey. Their support, encouragement, and involvement create a nurturing environment that facilitates learning and development. Regular communication with teachers and engaging in their young person’s education helps ensure that students receive the necessary guidance both in and outside the classroom and in boarding. Remember, a collaborative approach between parents, guardians, and the school is vital to student achievement.
Setting high expectations for all students is a fundamental aspect of fostering excellence. When students are challenged to reach their fullest potential, they are more likely to rise to the occasion. Embracing a growth mindset, where effort and perseverance are celebrated, helps students overcome challenges and setbacks. By nurturing a culture that expects greatness from every student, we create an environment that nurtures determination and a commitment to success.
Learning is an active process, and students must be fully engaged in every lesson and activity. Attending classes regularly, participating in discussions, asking questions, and collaborating with peers enhances the learning experience. Being present and engaged not only aids in understanding the subject matter but also develops valuable skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, and communication – all of which are essential for success in high school and beyond.
Our dedicated teachers are working diligently to provide the best learning experience for every student. As we move towards the end of this semester and our Academic year, teachers are meticulously preparing semester reports to provide a comprehensive overview of each student’s progress. These reports not only highlight academic achievements but also offer insights into areas that might need attention. It’s a collaborative effort, involving teachers, students, and parents, to ensure that students are on the right track and receiving the necessary support.
In conclusion, the success of our high school students is a shared responsibility. By fostering strong relationships between parents, guardians, students, and staff, we create an environment where high expectations, active engagement, and preparation go hand in hand. Let’s keep these points in mind and as we work collaboratively to empower our students for a bright and promising future.
God Bless

Bless our students, dear Lord, with curiosity, determination, and a hunger for knowledge. May they approach each day with enthusiasm, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come their way. Instil in them a sense of responsibility for their own learning, and the humility to seek guidance when needed.

May our staff be inspired to create dynamic and interactive lessons that ignite a passion for learning in their students. Let our rooms resonate with the joy of discovery, where questions are welcomed, discussions flourish, and creativity knows no bounds.
Lord, we ask for the grace to uphold high expectations for both ourselves and those we guide. May we never settle for mediocrity, but instead, strive for the heights of achievement that you have designed for us.
