Brian Pereira, SJ and a warm farewell to two beloved teachers, Mrs. Irene Pais and Mr. Padmanabha Rao, on their retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme was graced by the presence of the Rector, Rev. Fr. Brian Pereira, SJ, the Correspondent, Rev. Fr. Johnson Pinto, SJ, the Headmistress, Mrs. Jositta Noronha and the Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Liya D’Souza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The celebration commenced with a prayer song by the teachers, invoking God’s blessings on the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Headmistress, Mrs. Jositta Noronha, extended a cordial welcome to the gathering and specially welcomed the newly appointed Rector, Rev. Fr. Brian Pereira, SJ, by honouring him with great respect and warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his inspiring address, Rev. Fr. Brian Pereira, SJ, described teaching as the noblest of all professions and shared that he, too, would always consider himself a teacher. He emphasized that the respect earned by a teacher is immeasurable and highlighted the vital role teachers play in shaping the lives of students. He remarked that when a student sets a goal, a teacher stands firmly behind them like a strong pillar, guiding and supporting them throughout their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With heartfelt gratitude, the Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Liya D’Souza, paid tribute to the retiring teachers and reflected on their remarkable years of dedicated service. Mrs. Irene Pais served the institution with commitment for 39 years and nine months, while Mr. Padmanabha Rao devoted 30 years of faithful service.
