alumnae got a special chance to see and share their ideas. For many it was really a dream come

true. The gathering bowed before the memory of the founder patron, Bishop Sebastian Vayalil.

The alumnae also bowed before the memory of former managers, teachers, non-teaching

staffs and their friends who were taken to their heavenly abode. Former principals were specially

honored giving them ‘Ponnada’. Retired teachers, eminent sports persons, rank holders, former

chairpersons and other eminent personalities of various fields were honored during the program.
