Principal’s Message

“Catholic education is also evangelization; becoming witnesses to the joy of the Gospel and its power to renew our communities and provide hope and strength in facing wisely the challenges of the present time.”
– Pope Francis –
An inspirational quote for all educators.

I thank God and praise Him, the Divine Creator for bestowing on me all the graces and blessings I need, to accept this responsibility. As Mother Mary said ‘Yes’ to the will of God, I too surrender myself and place my trust in Him, the Giver of all good things. I am deeply humbled and take on this responsibility together with my religious family, staff and the extended family of the school, to form young women of virtue and wisdom, who can bring light to the world through a holistic education.

The school is founded on the rich heritage of the Good Shepherd and great traditional values. I am keen on taking up new challenges and working with the support of everyone, to guide the students during these challenging times.

The drive for excellence in all aspects is the keynote of the education of our children. As such, the professionalism and commitment of the staff, the support of parents and the dedication of school affiliated associations, the PPA, PTA and SDB form an integral part of the system and I look forward to your co-operation.

We aim to give every student in our care the best possible education in order to prepare them for life beyond the school. We are a learning community which encourages staff, students and parents to involve themselves fully in all aspects of school life and at the same time bring the Gospel values to life.

We are confident that the Shepherdians who are nurtured by us like caterpillars, graduate as butterflies, ready to face the larger world outside.

I invite each one of you to join with us and experience the rich rewards in the lives of our children.

With the spirit and values of the Good Shepherd deeply embedded in us, we aim at high standards in all that we undertake. We encourage our students to be diligent and imbue values of compassion and sensitivity to the rights and needs of others. Let ‘Strength and Sweetness’ be our advocate and uphold us.

May God Bless you
