Located in the eastern suburb of Port Louis, this school opened its doors in 1994 and has catered for thousands of students on the outskirts. Over the years many pupils have secured good jobs, some have successfully pursued higher studies while others are settled in their own businesses. The college has a population of over 300 boys from Forms 1 to V and also a pre-vocational section.
Gunputh Nathoo, Rector, says: “With the opening of new schools, our intake is gradually eroding.”
However, he adds that “it is one of the rare schools offering Design and Technology, and Design and Communication, subjects which prepare pupils for a number of jobs in our growing economy. Also, these two subjects have always reaped a high level
of success at the School Certificate examinations.”
Academically, the school is on the average side with 45% pass at School Certificate. Yet, it struggles hard to bring good results. It has all the facilities that students require for their overall development.
Nathoo says: “We groom the pupils during five years, give them all the motivation they need to grab the best. Our pupils, although average in academics, are very good in extra curricular activities. For the past few years we have been bagging top prizes in different inter-school competitions.”
He adds: “We also organize a lot of activities to lighten their spirit, for example, the prize giving day with the help of the PTA. We deliver certificates to them as a testimony to their effort.”
