All are Welcome

Let us build a house where love can dwell
And all can safely live
A place where saints and children tell
How hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes, dreams and visions
Rock of faith and vault of grace
Here the love of Christ shall end divisions
All are welcome in this place.

As I read this poem by Marty Haugen inscribed on the entrance to the school foyer, my heart just softened for a moment. In the silence, a voice spoke of a love that words cannot describe, a mosaic of portraits depicting a barrage of heartaches that music cannot invoke, a fire within burned with a desire that zeal cannot be compared with.


In tandem with this poem, the mission of the school goes like this:

To create a Christ-centered school community where all work together for the promotion of truth, justice, freedom and love, with special reference to the needs of the pupils who are disadvantaged in any way.


Truth, justice, freedom and love. Besides these four ideals, nothing else have more martyrs in this world lived a fuller life, and died a glorious death, for.

Disadvantaged in any way. Jesus came for the lost, why should anyone longing to follow in His footsteps be any different?








How can my heart remain in contentment as the world sinks deeper into the mire that it has created for itself? Let discontentment and a longing for the return of the True King characterize the drive behind every single breath I take till the day He calls me home.













It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. -Marcus Aurelius

Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? -Paul, quoting the prophets Isaiah and Hosea (1 Cor 15:55)

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. - Jesus (Matt 9:12-13)
