Thanks to the Jesuits, the Society
of Jesus, who have been very co-operative since the early 60’s.
They have been a point of focus in religious vocation.

LIFE IN THE SCHOOL

We all are God’s Children. All our pupils are taught to be faithful to
their religious professions by becoming active members. It is difficult for a

In school we have common prayers
in which we raise our heart to our God. They
are as follows:
8:00 O’clock
Oh! My God, I offer
you all my thoughts and words and acts of today.
Please bless me, my God, and make me good today.
Before Break:
Bless us oh
Lord, and these your gifts which we are going to receive from your bounty,
through Christ our Lord, Amen.
After Break:
We give you thanks, oh
Almighty God, for all your benefits, who live and reign world without end. Amen
