WORLD YOUTH DAY 2008
“WE ARE THE WITNESSES”
From the Convent of Jesus and Mary, Lahore, Pakistan, there were three students: Anum Shehzad (Class 11), Shanzeh Javaid, (Class 9) and Mariam Samuel (Class 9), accompanied by our Co-ordinator, Mrs. Sunila Javaid and our group leader, Sr. Pilar Vila-San-Juan (Principal) who were selected to attend this prestigious gathering in Sydney, Australia from the 13th of July to the 20th of July, 2008. The team was very lucky to get sponsors to fund this trip down under and this was a learning experience both for the pupils as well as the accompanying teachers.
The Annual Prize 
Distribution was a success. The outgoing class attended the ceremony and were awarded numerous prizes and certificates. Sr. Mary of Grace, Sr Provincial, CJM Pakistan, was the Chief Guest. Mrs Jenny Rosoga, Country Manager Educational Development, University of Cambridge, announced the outstanding result which she believed was the best in the region! over 50 % girls got more than 6 A's out of 8 subjects they took in this class. Some took a 9th subject and 7 girls got all 9A's, 12 got 8 A's and so on. Sports Cup and Academic Cup went to FAITH but the prized Social Service Cup was won by DISCIPLINE. The choir sang 'Heal the World' and presented a message for 'PEACE'. Sr. Pilar gave out the prizes and gave a vote of thanks.
