Motivational Speech by Shamiso Chikarate
Martin Luther king had a dream
That we could all work as a team.
But not of conformity
For that will be deformity
All that is needed is unity
Because with our differences, our strength reaches infinity
If there is no pain
What will there be to gain?
If we had no hate
What do you think would be our fate?
If we only had love
Do you think our lives would be this tough?
If our world had no jealousy
Would we have, anything to connect people with more intimacy?
If there was no crime
Will this really be the best of time?
If we had no fear
Our relationship with our creator, we can tear
Then what will the world really be like?
If day was like night
Then night will be like day
All the colours will be like black
And black will be all of the colours
The warmth of pink
The passion of red, gone
The power of black
The envy of green, never again to be seen
The mellowness of yellow
The whiteness, purity and grace of white
All colours and all their shades reduced to night
And purple, Oh my dear purple
Just wanting to be loved.
All the beauty in the world gone
The concert of radiance and beauty will be done
YIN YAN YONG
The balance between opposites working together
To derive power from each other
Day making Night scary, cold and so powerful
Night making Day warm, bright and so colourful
All swallowed up by conformity
Then is this not deformity
Tell me please
Is this not the greatest of all calamity?

This is where the name of our school originates:
St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world's most popular saints.
Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.
Along with St. Nicholas and St. Valentine, the secular world shares our love of these saints. This is also a day when everyone's Irish.
There are many legends and stories of St. Patrick, but this is his story.
Patrick was born around 385 in Scotland, probably Kilpatrick. His parents were Calpurnius and Conchessa, who were Romans living in Britian in charge of the colonies.
As a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. Ireland at this time was a land of Druids and pagans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him.
During his captivity, he turned to God in prayer. He wrote
"The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same." "I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain."
Patrick's captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast. There he found some sailors who took him back to Britian, where he reunited with his family.
He had another dream in which the people of Ireland were calling out to him "We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more."
He began his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by St. Germanus, the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years.
Later, Patrick was ordained a bishop, and was sent to take the Gospel to Ireland. He arrived in Ireland March 25, 433, at Slane. One legend says that he met a chieftain of one of the tribes, who tried to kill Patrick. Patrick converted Dichu (the chieftain) after he was unable to move his arm until he became friendly to Patrick.
Patrick began preaching the Gospel throughout Ireland, converting many. He and his disciples preached and converted thousands and began building churches all over the country. Kings, their families, and entire kingdoms converted to Christianity when hearing Patrick's message.
Patrick by now had many disciples, among them Beningnus, Auxilius, Iserninus, and Fiaac, (all later canonized as well).
Patrick preached and converted all of Ireland for 40 years. He worked many miracles and wrote of his love for God in Confessions. After years of living in poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461.
He died at Saul, where he had built the first church.
Why a shamrock?
Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity, and has been associated with him and the Irish since that time.
In His Footsteps:
Patrick was a humble, pious, gentle man, whose love and total devotion to and trust in God should be a shining example to each of us. He feared nothing, not even death, so complete was his trust in God, and of the importance of his mission
