The Deputy Principal

Education is the back bone of one’s life. It is the steering wheel with which we can motivate the children, form their thinking pattern and transform them for a higher level of life. To motivate them to reach these goals we need to arouse their curiosity to learn. When they are curious they will find out lots of interesting things to do.
Keeping in touch with the needs and the challenges of this fast moving and highly competitive society we thrive for excellence through the Cross. Through launching the website of the College, students will find many more opportunities to cope with the pressure of this world and foster their Christian and cultural values and contribute their best to enrich the society.

Holy Cross: The journey of my life

Holy Cross is more than a place. it is the story of my life unfolding. It is where I began as a child, where I was shaped as a student, where I discovered my purpose as a teacher and where I now serve with deep gratitude as the Senior Deputy Principal. Every step of my journey has, in one way or another, led me back to this sacred ground, as though guided by a higher purpose.

When I pause to reflect, I am filled with a quiet sense of wonder. How beautifully life has been woven around Holy Cross. What may seem like coincidence feels, to me, like a gentle expression of God’s will guiding, shaping and blessing my path through the years.

There is a unique spirit within this school that cannot be described in mere words. As I walk along its paths, I feel a living presence. The trees whispering stories, the classrooms echoing with memories and even the simplest desks and chairs holding the dreams and laughter of generations. Holy Cross stands not just as a place of learning, but as a home built on faith, love and enduring values.
In the faces of our children, I see hope searching for light. I see hearts yearning for guidance, compassion and the gentle embrace of Mother Mary’s love. Even if God were to grant sight to the blind, it would remain a miracle beyond my imagination. Yet, in His infinite grace, I believe I have been entrusted with a small reflection of that miracle, the responsibility of helping young minds to see.
My calling is to guide them through a balanced education that enriches their minds, strengthens their values and shapes their purpose. To lead them from uncertainty to clarity, from innocence to understanding and from darkness to light.
To guide a child is to a brighter path. To teach is to give vision. This is the blessing I carry with humility and reverence. And it is my earnest prayer that I may continue to serve Holy Cross with unwavering devotion, until my final day within its loving embrace.
