Welcome Ceremony for Grade 1 Students – 29th January 2026

With hearts full of joy and gratitude, we warmly welcomed our Grade 1 students to the College on the 29th of January 2026.

The ceremony began with a time of worship and prayer in the church, led by the Chaplain, seeking God’s blessings upon our young learners as they embarked on this new chapter of their educational journey.

This special occasion was made even more meaningful by the loving welcome from our Grade 2 students, who presented delightful programmes and inspiring speeches to greet their younger friends. Their warmth and encouragement reflected the spirit of unity and care that defines our college family.

That day marked a beautiful milestone in the lives of our young Johnians — the beginning of a journey filled with learning, growth, friendship, and discovery. May they walk forward with confidence, guided by faith, supported by their teachers and parents, and strengthened by God’s grace.

May the Lord bless each child with wisdom, joy, and a bright and successful future.

Welcome, dear students — your journey has begun!

Your legacy will continue to live on in this college forever.
