From the OFFICE OF THE VICE PRINCIPAL STUDENT LIFEUPDATE ON COLLEGE SANDALSLast term, parents were asked to buy a pair of sandals for school uniforms and a pair of shoes forSunday wears. Thank you for complying. While some students returned this term with newpairs of sandals and shoes, a few continued to wear the school sandals and shoes given to themlast term.Our experience this term is that when the one pair of sandals cut or goes into disuse, the studentis left only with nothing but a pair of shoes designated for Sundays. Students are only allowedto wear shoes on Sundays; and, so they are not for the classrooms.We, therefore, request that parents buy two pairs of durable sandals for their children. Theyshould return with them next term.Thank you for your usual cooperation and understanding.Citizenship and Leadership Training for Present SS 1 students (Man O’ War Camp)The Citizenship and Leadership Training Programme for SS1 students for this session will beginon the 20th of July and end on the 1st of August in Loyola Jesuit College.
