Sisters and brothers in Christ, dear people of God, the heads of schools present here, the Chairperson and members of Council, educators, Mrs Goedeke and your family, friends, parents and learners: it is a great joy to be with you today to share in this important milestone in the life of this school.
Let me extend a warm welcome to you all. Thank you for inviting me and most importantly, many thanks to all who have prepared this welcome for the Goedekes’. Thank you to the chaplain, the Revd Lorna Larvello-Smith, for preparing this service and the service booklet. And a special welcome to the parents and guardians of new learners at the school.
