The annual Commissioning of Principals and Service of Commitment by school leaders was held at the Church of St Ignatius on Saturday, 24 January.
4 new principals, Mr Wee Tat Chuen (Assumption Pathway School), Mr Terry Theseira (Canossian School for the Hearing Impaired), Mr Andrew Tan (Montfort Secondary School), and Dr Koh Thiam Seng (St Joseph's Institution, Independent) were commissioned by His Grace, Archbishop Nicholas Chia.
70 principals and vice-principals then recited a prayer as a sign of their committment to lead and serve their schools.
In his homily, Archbishop Chia commended school leaders for their good work. He reminded them of the sacred task they are called to, leading students and staff to know and experience the good news that Jesus preached -- the Kingdom of God is here and alive!

He also addressed parents, urging them to cooperate with schools and parishes to provide an all round education for their children. To the wider Church community, he encouraged them to be active partners with schools and parents in the enterprise of Catholic education.
