I take up this huge responsibility of being the Headteacher of this great Institution with humble trust in God and the prayer that he will keep me faithful in all that I have been entrusted to do.

My utmost priority, effort and total commitment will be to continue to develop, grow and nurture a Campus which will be admired for its academic excellence, co-curricular pursuits and disciplined approach to education. To have a learning environment that will be a model for many other inner-city schools and colleges.

As you have extended your outstanding support to the college community in the past, continue the same with greater eagerness and enthusiasm. Together we can build upon the great legacy of our retiring Headteacher, Paul Dickinson.

I seek your cooperation, prayers and support over the coming months. Thank you.
