Our school prayer
We say this prayer to begin and end every school day and before every school event. Each morning it is joined by a verse from the Bible.
Oh God, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
A message from the Manager
I accepted the Manager’s position with a lot of apprehension knowing full well the huge shoes I had to fill and the thought was very much overwhelming. It was only the love for the school that I courageously decided to accept the invitation from the then titular Manager, Fr. Pat Colgan, under the Archdiocese of Suva. All my efforts since assuming Manager is geared towards upholding the culture of excellence instilled by the Montfort Brothers.
