In his farewell address, the Principal expressed mixed emotions of joy, pride, gratitude, and a hint of sadness as he spoke to the departing students. He remarked:
“Today is a special and emotional moment for all of us as we gather here to bid farewell to our beloved Class XII students. This is a day of mixed emotions—joy, pride, gratitude, and a touch of sadness—as we see you, our dear students, standing here, holding your candles, ready to step forward into the next phase of your lives.
For some of you, this school has been your second home for the past 12 years—a place where you learned, grew, and built lifelong memories. For others who joined us later, even in just a couple of years, you have become an integral part of this great family of St. Xavier’s. No matter how long you have been here, you are all Xavierians, carrying the spirit and values of this institution wherever you go.
As you stand at this turning point, with your final exams beginning on the 17 of February, I want to remind you of a few important things:
- Believe in Yourself: You have worked hard, prepared well, and received the best guidance from your teachers. Walk into the exam hall with confidence and determination.
- Trust in God’s Grace: Success is not just about marks and ranks; it is about the effort, dedication, and honesty you put into your work. Surrender your worries to God, and He will guide you.
- Stay Strong and Focused: This moment is not just about exams; it is about discipline, perseverance, and resilience. Let this be a time of enlightenment, joy, and satisfaction, knowing that you have given your best.
On behalf of the management, teachers, and staff, I extend my heartfelt blessings and best wishes to each one of you. May you all come out with flying colours, bringing pride to your families, your school, and yourselves. We will always be praying for you and cheering for you.
Go forth with courage, faith, and determination! The world is waiting for you!
God bless you all! Thank you.”
The event concluded with a collective prayer over the students and a grand lunch for all, reinforcing the strong sense of community and shared values at St. Xavier’s School, Harmutty.
This farewell celebration not only marked the end of an important chapter in the lives of the Class XII students but also set the stage for their bright future. The entire school community joins in wishing them every success as they embark on new adventures.
