On Monday 16th March, as part of the celebrations marking the 65th Anniversary of Friendship College Boys, our school proudly hosted an Inter-College Competition, bringing together students from various institutions in a spirit of unity, healthy competition, and academic excellence.

The event featured a wide range of engaging events, including Quiz, Art Painting Competition, French Elocution, English Elocution, French Debate, and English Essay Writing, providing students with a platform to express their creativity, confidence, and intellectual abilities.

We were honoured to welcome participants from Friendship College Girls, Universal College, D.A.V College, International College, S. Jugdambi SSS, BPS Fatima College, Cosmopolitan College Boys, and Cosmopolitan College Girls, whose presence contributed greatly to the success and vibrancy of the day.

This memorable occasion was a true celebration of talent, teamwork, and dedication. It would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment, hard work, and collaboration of our staff and students, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of the event.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all participants for their enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and outstanding efforts. We also warmly congratulate all the winners for their remarkable achievements. You have all made us immensely proud. Well done to everyone involved!

L’encadrement personnalisé fait toute la différence

Au Friendship College Boys à Goodlands, le sans-faute n’est plus une exception, mais une régularité. Depuis 2019, l’établissement affiche un taux de réussite total au HSC. Cette année encore, les quatre candidats ont tous décroché leur diplôme. Pour Clency Baldeo, Senior Educator, ce succès repose sur une méthode rigoureuse et constante. «Deux élèves sont avec nous depuis le Grade 7. Les deux autres nous ont rejoints en cours de route. Mais tous ont bénéficié d’un encadrement soutenu.»
Devoirs réguliers, petits contrôles fréquents, examens trimestriels calqués sur le modèle de Cambridge : le suivi est permanent. «C’est une manière d’évaluer leur progression et de corriger rapidement les lacunes», explique-t-il. Ces élèves n’étaient pas considérés comme faisant partie des «élites». Certains avaient même obtenu des résultats en dessous de la moyenne en primaire. «Mais il faut reconnaître le travail abattu par tous les départements. Il y a eu des échanges individuels entre enseignants et élèves, un suivi attentif de la rectrice et du management.»
Au-delà des chiffres, ces réussites racontent une autre histoire, celle d’établissements qui misent sur la persévérance, la discipline et l’attention individualisée. Au Friendship College Boys, l’assiduité est scrutée de près. «En cas d’absence, nous appelons immédiatement les parents. Nous veillons à ce que l’enfant soit toujours présent.» Une vigilance qui porte ses fruits.

On les appelle souvent les *«petits»* collèges. Petits par la taille, par le nombre d’élèves, parfois par la visibilité médiatique. Pourtant, cette année, ils ont réalisé ce que bien des établissements dits d’élite convoitent : un car...

As part of their youth engagement and outreach strategy, the FCC conducted a financial crime prevention campaign on ‘The fight against financial crimes - why integrity matters?’ on Wednesday.
