Vice Principal's Message
The Cathedral and John Connon School is an institution that is well known for its emphasis on academic excellence, innovation, creativity and societal impact. Those who have studied here or work here will testify to the fact that one experiences warmth and a sense of belonging when one enters the building, because the school is not mere brick and mortar. Rather, it is a haven of learning, lovingly built with values and tradition, character and empathy which radiates from every single Cathedralite. Students and teachers strive to ensure high academic standards, to chisel and shape responsible individuals and build relationships that add value to life. There is a distinct aura of positive energy that permeates every nook and corner of the school.
Amidst the numerous challenges and multiple distractions that students are up against today, Cathedral has remained resilient in providing education that forms and shapes individuals with knowledge and skill. Through study and its many extra-curricular activities and programs, it instils confidence, raises self-esteem, and helps students to develop ethical insight and contribute meaningfully to society. Cathedralites are unapologetically confident, intelligent, committed and ingrained with a strong sense of independence and of courage to stand up for what is right. Endowed with their own unique attributes, many have become trailblazers in their own right.
Our children are truly gifted! It is a joy to observe how they miraculously metamorphose into young and enthusiastic adults with courage, spirit, vision, and excitement about life – a force to reckon with! They create a ripple effect when their collective strength is unleashed into the world. On a daily basis, simple acts of kindness and love are intrinsically linked with challenges that push boundaries that make the world seem limitless. Cathedral is not just a place to dream dreams, but ‘the’ place to find ways to realise them.
Mrs. R. Roberts, Vice Principal
