A mission that has stood the test of time ❤️

While going through our archives, we rediscovered this precious MBC feature on St Helena’s College, featuring our late Rector, Mr Dowlut, educators who dedicated many years to the school, and former students sharing their experiences.

What is particularly meaningful is that the message shared by our educators then remains at the heart of St Helena’s today.

Education is not only about academic achievement. It is about shaping the future of our students, developing their values, confidence, character and potential, and preparing them for life.

Years may have passed, generations of students may have changed, and the school itself may have evolved — but our commitment to educating and shaping young lives remains the same.

We proudly share this piece of our history with our students, parents, educators, alumni and the wider St Helena’s community.

🎓 Yesterday’s vision. Today’s commitment. Tomorrow’s future.

À la suite de la parution d'un article affirmant que le collège Sainte-Hélène ne rouvrirait pas ses portes pour l'année académique 2027, la direction de l'établissement de Vacoas a réagi fermement par le biais d'une mise au point officielle. La direction dément catégoriquement ces informations, précisant n'avoir reçu à ce jour aucune communication officielle des autorités compétentes confirmant une telle fermeture.

L'établissement déplore l'impact négatif de cet article qu’il juge sans fondement, paru dans un journal appartenant à un confrère, soulignant qu'il a engendré une vive inquiétude et de l'anxiété parmi les élèves, les parents, le personnel et les anciens élèves, tout en risquant de porter atteinte à la réputation de l'institution.

Face à ces spéculations, le collège Sainte-Hélène appelle sa communauté à ne pas prêter foi aux rumeurs non vérifiées. La direction réaffirme son engagement envers ses élèves et son personnel, assurant que toute décision officielle concernant l'avenir de l'établissement sera transmise exclusivement par les canaux de communication appropriés.

OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION – ST HELENA’S COLLEGE
St Helena’s College has taken note of the article published today stating that the College will not reopen for the 2027 academic year.
The school wishes to categorically clarify that, as of today, the school management has received no official communication from the relevant authorities confirming the closure of St Helena’s College for 2027.
The publication has understandably caused considerable concern, anxiety and uncertainty among our students, parents, staff, alumni and the wider St Helena’s community. It has also the potential to adversely affect the reputation and functioning of our institution.
At this stage, we therefore urge our school community not to rely on unverified information or speculation regarding the future of the College.
Any official decision concerning St Helena’s College will be communicated through the appropriate official channels. Until such communication is received, there is no official confirmation available to the school management that the College will close in 2027.
We remain committed to our students, our staff and our school community, and we will continue to provide accurate information whenever official developments arise.
