Petit Seminaire School, since its inception and foundation has always set up high benchmarks of value based
holistic education for its students. The school has been a pioneer in imparting knowledge and skills that
have contributed towards the growth and vision in building global citizens and a conscientious humanity.
I believe children are at the very heart of God and His
most precious desire is to see children come to an early
realization of their need and how to live a life independently. I see what God has already accomplished and it
excites me to dream of what He will ask of us in the future. To you who may show interest or decide to come join
the Petit Seminaire School family, I say welcome. I believe it will prove to be a wise and prudent choice. To
the present student body, I say thank you for being a part of the prestigious family. You are a special group of
young people and I know God has wonderful plans for your life.
The vast years of experiences give me another opportunity to serve this Institution whole heartedly for the
greater good and God’s Greater glory. I look forward in co-operation with all concerned to continue this noble
mission in the field of education and in collaboration with our dedicated Staff and Students. We together may
improve on that which is built already through the past endeavors. Our commitment will be for the betterment,
common good and for the welfare of this institution and our society at large.
We offer a broad curriculum and a range of opportunities for all our boys to achieve excellence in academic,
creative, social, cultural, sporting and community endeavors. We value collaborative learning, positive
relationships and building capacity amongst our boys to effectively allow them to engage in the world of the
future, where problem solving, evaluating, working in teams, communicating, creating and innovating are not only
valued concepts, but expected skills, attributes and capabilities.
We support the individual wellbeing of our boys and provide a school environment that allows every student to
thrive as they work towards achieving their personal best performance. We value relationships and connections
with the community. We encourage our students to develop respectful relationships with their peers, teachers and
the broader community. We instill in our boys a keen social conscience and the capacity to make ethical
decisions. We work hard to develop and sustain productive connections with our parents, local schools and with
leading tertiary institutions. We are proud to be a good performing school and aim to be the selective school of
first choice for all families within our community.
We have always heard this that the Basic education starts at home and the parents are the first teachers of
their children. Thank you parents you are our primary teachers, builders of character, well-wishers down the
ages in all our Petit Institutions. I seek God’s Blessings to accomplish the dreams I have and the purpose I
have been called at this period of history.
Being Humane with thirst to contribute is the key to a successful life. We look for the spark in every child,
nurture it and make it shine like a sun to dispel darkness. We at Petit Seminaire strongly believe in
collaborating with parents and community for we are building a nation of CHANGE MAKERS.
