Dear Parents, Teachers, Students, and Friends,
As we conclude another meaningful Academic Year, I take this opportunity to reflect with you on our shared journey, guided by the powerful theme of the year 2024-2025:“Allow God to make use of you according to His goodness.” (Venerable Mary Ward)
This year, we embraced this maxim of Mary Ward not only as a motto, but as a way of life — inviting every member of our school to be open to God’s purpose and to serve with love, humility, and integrity. In prayer assemblies, Bulletin boards , classrooms, on the playground, in service to others, and in quiet acts of kindness, we saw this theme lived out in beautiful and inspiring ways.
This maxim reminds us that our talents, time, and opportunities are not just for ourselves. They are gifts meant to be shared. By saying "yes" to helping, serving, and growing — even when it was hard — we have fulfilled Mary Ward’s vision in our daily school life.
Now, as we look back, we are filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the chance to learn, to grow, to serve, and to be used by God in ways we may not even realize. Each success, each lesson learned, and each moment of service is a reminder that God has indeed made use of us — according to His goodness.
We saw God’s goodness reflected in the compassion shown during outreach programmes, the leadership displayed in student initiatives, the perseverance through challenges, and the joy shared in celebrations. These are not just activities — they are expressions of a living faith, made real through action.
In a world often driven by individual success, our school has remained a place where values, service, and togetherness thrive. That is a gift worth cherishing. And that is what St. Mary’s School stood for over the Years.
I am deeply grateful to our students who brought energy, creativity, and a sincere spirit of learning to every task. To our teachers, whose unwavering commitment and values formed the backbone of our mission — thank you for being shining examples of dedication. To our parents, thank you for your continued trust, cooperation, and support — you are truly our partners in nurturing these young minds and hearts. To our support staff and well-wishers, your contributions, often silent and unseen, are deeply valued.
This school magazine is a celebration of that journey — a window into the heart of St. Mary’s. — a collection of experiences, thoughts, creativity, and memories that show how each member of the school allowed God to use them, in their own unique way, for something good and meaningful. My heartfelt thanks to our editorial team, who have beautifully captured the soul of our school in these pages. You have worked tirelessly to bring together the voices, talents, and spirit of the school into these pages. Your dedication and eye for excellence are deeply appreciated.
As we turn these pages and reflect on the year gone by, may we remain inspired to live lives of purpose and openness — allowing God to continue using each one of us for His greater good. Let us carry forward the spirit of this theme — continuing to say "yes" to being instruments of God's goodness, wherever life takes us.
May God bless each one of you for the role you play in making St. Mary’s not just a school, but a true family and a place of grace.
