Thank you for your endless love, sacrifices, guidance, and unwavering support. Your strength and care continue to shape and inspire the lives of our students every day.

May your day be filled with love, joy, and countless blessings. 🌷✨

This is the class of 2026! Yes. Those are shirts for signing 👀. Yes, yes, we know. We know you're feeling 'a way', but before you start, let's show our Form 5 girls some school leaving love and wish them well as they move into the next step of their journey!

All the best girls, and keep Growing and Developing in Christ! 📖 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.” ~ 2 Peter 3:18 ✨

You did it!

🙏🏽✨Yesterday, our school community gathered in faith and gratitude for our Term 3 Eucharistic Celebration, a truly special occasion as we also shared in our Form 5 students’ final Mass with us.

We extend heartfelt thanks to Father Calistus for guiding us in worship and blessing our students and staff as we reflect on the journey of this academic year. A moving highlight of the service was the meditation, where our Form 5 students beautifully ministered through song, “Your Spirit” by Tasha Cobbs Leonard. It was beautifully sung and deeply moving. 🎶🙏🏽

As we near the end of the 2025-26 school year, we continue to pray for God’s presence, guidance, and joy, especially for our graduating class as they prepare to step into new beginnings. 💙✨
