🏆 Here Comes Trouble💜

On the 12th June 2025, our mighty Kennedians made history once again by retaining their title at the Region 2 Intercollege Tournament! — Making it 2 years in a row

This team rose to the challenge and proved their worth as the best in the competition — scoring goals, staying strong in defense, and delivering when it mattered most.

In the group stage, we defeated QEC with a 3-1 score and held St. Mary’s to a hard-fought 0-0 draw. We then overcame St. Andrew’s 2-0 in the semi-finals, securing our place in the final showdown. There, we defeated Ebene SSS 1-0 to bring back the trophy!

If the 11th of March 2024's flag-raising ceremony could be summed up in a few words, it would be the unwavering patriotism of our fellow Kennedians. It's with pride for us that we welcome the Honourable Doctor Renganaden Padayachy as the chief guest of honour along with the Zone 2 Director Mr. Preetam Mohitram to celebrate the 56th anniversary of the independence and 32th anniversary of the republic Day of Mauritius. The sense of loyalty to our Mauritian flag was palpable. May these moments be the symbol of JKC's unconditional fidelity to our Nation and the values of freedom it upholds. Our oath of allegiance to our Constitution and to our dear democracy shall remain our greatest word of honor. As we all aspire to become model citizens and serve our nation, may our “Glory To Thee” be the words that guide us to a brighter future for all.

LONG LIVE OUR MOTHERLAND, The Republic Of Mauritius.

Rujkoomar Meyur,
Headboy.

Eaglets in the spotlight!🦅💜

On 31 August 2023 , our young kennedians brought back the glory to the Purple Kingdom. They have won the U17 championship for the region of Beau Bassin-Rose Hill in collaboration with the British Council.

We would also like to thank the teachers who coached and accompanied the boys; Mr. Ramsamy and Mr. Babajee.

"The eaglet will always spread its wings like an eagle because it remains a majestic bird in all its splendour, regardless of its size."
