October 14, 2026 at 5:59 amWao! what an inspiring / applauding development..
This has always been the routine of the institution..
How I wish this happened during our era- 80’s & 90’s, you would have seen the bragging nature of our motivating sports boss- late GOC from Nnobi
Maximum respects to the amazing representatives, their tutor/ coach, school management and the alumni- We are all winners (But am surprised that I didn’t see Maria Regina on the list, including Anglican girls Sec school @ 13 the mile Uruagu & other challenging schools within and outside.. ????)
Keep the flag flying beloved
Keep maintaining the motto: knowledge & goodness
It can only be through hardworking & God’s mercies
Shalom!
