Our new academic year began with the School Opening Assembly on 1 September, followed by the School Opening Mass on 2 September, bringing our school community together not only to begin another year of learning, but also to place our journey in God’s hands. We were grateful to welcome Reverend Father Bernardo Cervellera as the celebrant of our Opening Mass. In his homily, Fr Bernardo reminded us why we begin the school year with prayer. In a world where circumstances can change unexpectedly, academic results, careers and our own abilities alone cannot guarantee our future. Instead, we are invited to place our trust in Jesus Christ, who accompanies us through both successes and difficulties. One message particularly resonated with us: “The future is a promise”. With Christ beside us, we need not face the future with fear. Through His love, even our challenges and failures can be transformed into opportunities for growth. Fr Bernardo also reminded us that true education is more than acquiring knowledge and skills. Rooted in our Lasallian mission, it is about becoming mature people who know how to love, forgive and care for others. During the Mass, our new Catholic Society committee was also commissioned, beginning their mission to foster the Catholic spirit of our school and encourage fellow Lasallians to put their faith into action. As we begin this new academic year, may we grow in faith, wisdom and love, trusting that our future is indeed a joyful promise because Jesus Christ is with us
